Three cuts, no new claims.

Dropped the probe-many-files section. Fanning out with Promise.all is standard client code, not something the job type needs to teach. It spent 20 lines on it.

Simplified "What comes back." A diagram, a table, and a warning callout all described the same rule about which flags suppress which defaults. Kept the table, which is the precise mapping, and folded the diagram and the callout into two sentences.

The first example shows a real command again. The rewrite had reduced it to a bare URL. It now opens with ffprobe -show_format -show_streams <url> across all three languages, so the reader's first sight is the full form rather than the shorthand. The bare-URL shorthand is still explained a paragraph later.

Note: the concurrency-exemption fact (probes don't count against the plan limit, CONCURRENCY_EXEMPT_JOB_TYPES in apps/api/src/lib/drain.ts) lived only in the removed section and is now unstated on the page. It is true and verified, so say the word if it should come back as a one-liner.

Prose is 958 words. Frontmatter and plan-limit validators pass.

Fanning out with Promise.all is standard client code, not something the
job type needs to teach.
The section said the same thing three times: a diagram, a table, and a
warning callout all describing which flags suppress which defaults. Kept
the table, which is the precise mapping, and folded the rest into two
sentences.

The opening example dropped back to a bare URL in the rewrite. Show
-show_format -show_streams instead, so the first thing a reader sees is a
real command rather than the shorthand.
