A superlative (the most, the single source of truth, the primary) claims a ranking the text has not established. Keep only when defended nearby or attributed; otherwise demote or drop. Bump to 2.12.0; update README and validator bounds.

Closing. The After example turns "the most important thing" into "usually gives the largest gain", which drops the ranking the source made. That is the claim loss reported in #212, and the skill's rule 2 requires keeping it. Inflated superlatives that the source does not support are already covered by §1. |

Adds one pattern for a common tell not covered by the existing 35.
A superlative claims a ranking the text has not established. "The most important feature" and "the single source of truth" read as slogans unless the surrounding sentences show the comparison or the phrase is quoted from a named source. Keep a superlative only when it is defended nearby or attributed. Otherwise demote it ("the most" to "a major", "the single source of truth" to "the canonical copy") or drop it and let the noun carry the point.
Single-pattern PR, kept focused so it can be reviewed on its own. Follows the house format; example stays in neutral prose. Version bumped to 2.12.0; README table, heading, and changelog updated;
