fix(linkedin-studio): S29c terminology-scrub — "thought leadership" → neutral (references/)

Third sub-pass of the S29 plugin-wide terminology scrub: the banned brand phrase
"thought leadership" (FORM A) removed from the reference-doc surface — the largest pass
(2x S29a/S29b). 34 edits across 15 reference files. Vocabulary consistent with S29a/S29b:
"thought leadership angle(s)" -> "content angle(s)"; "thought leadership" (positioning/practice)
-> "authority ..."; content-type labels -> "authority content / authority posts"; the whole
"Value Test" family -> "Authority Value Test".

Established cross-pass equivalents closed: glossary:229 "Thought Leadership Value Test" ->
"Authority Value Test" (closes the S29b cross-directory naming gap); glossary:29 "8 universal
thought leadership angles" -> "content angles"; engagement-frameworks:137 "Standard Thought
Leadership Structure" -> "Standard Post Structure" (matches S29a post:98).

S29e filename locked this session: thought-leadership-angles.md -> content-angles.md (operator-
chosen). The canonical file's in-file title/headers scrubbed now for consistency (H1 ->
"# Content Angles"; "## The Authority Value Test"; "### Step 3: Test For Authority Value");
the file rename + all 20 pointers remain S29e (atomic).

Judgment-calls (operator-approved): thought-leadership-angles:212 "disguised as thought
leadership" -> "expertise" (S29b vocab); linkedin-formats:295 -> "Text-based content" (avoids
authority...authority echo); linkedin-visual-style:3 -> "For building authority,"; ai-content-
framework:380 "main LinkedIn thought leadership skill" -> "content skill" (avoids awkward
"authority skill"). Kept by design: video-strategy-guide:429 ironic quote; video-strategy-
guide:532 "TL;DW" false positive (too long, didn't watch).

Scope (operator-locked, inherits S29a/S29b): FORM A only. FORM B ("thought leader(s)" as role,
references = 4) untouched. The 3 thought-leadership-angles.md filename pointers in references/
deferred to S29e.

Verify: FORM A in references/ = only the kept ironic quote (video:429); canonical file in-file
FORM A = NONE; FORM B unchanged (4); filename pointers unchanged (3); no anchor links to changed
headers; gate 81/0/0; counts 29/19/26/6 + v0.5.0 unchanged.

This document provides frameworks for identifying content angles from any type of content or context.

Thought leadership isn't about what you know—it's about **how you help others see differently**. Any content can become thought leadership by finding the right angle.
