+### S29d terminology-scrub — "thought leadership" → neutral (`skills/` + `config/` + `assets/` + `hooks/`-test)
+
+**CLASS: terminology-scrub** (NOT re-hardening — surgical removal of the operator-banned brand phrase
+"thought leadership", FORM A, from the remaining surfaces; memory `no-thought-leadership-phrase`). Fourth
+sub-pass of the plugin-wide S29 scrub. SCOPE inherits the S29a-S29c operator-lock verbatim (FORM A only;
+FORM B untouched; per-directory sub-pass, map approved before edit).
+
+**TEST (tool-grounded).** `grep -in "thought leader"` (A+B) across the S29d scope — `skills/`, `config/`,
+`assets/`, `README.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `hooks/prompts/`, `hooks/scripts/__tests__/clipboard-helper.test.mjs`,
+and the forward-looking docs (`docs/integration-test-guide.md`, `docs/expert-review/plan.md`). Result:
+**8 FORM A instances / 7 files** + **8 FORM B** + 21 hyphenated filename pointers (S29e). The forward-
+looking docs were clean. The test fixture (`clipboard-helper.test.mjs:61`) was included deliberately —
+STATE pre-listed it. Anchor-check: `\bTL\b` / `value test` in scope = NONE; a broad `(#…thought…)`
+anchor-link grep across the whole plugin = **NONE**, so renaming the three skill headers breaks no internal
+link (the S29c anchor grep started with `#thought-leadership` and would have missed
+`#step-2-identify-thought-leadership-angles`; this run used a `thought`-anywhere anchor pattern). The only
+text cross-refs to the changed header phrases were the three instances being edited.
+
+**HARDEN (8 edits, 6 files — 1:1).** Vocabulary consistent with S29a-S29c.
+- `skills/linkedin-content-creation/SKILL.md` (3): :75 "### Step 2: Identify Thought Leadership Angles" →
+  "Identify Content Angles"; :109 "**Standard Thought Leadership Post (…):**" → "**Standard Post (…):**"
+  (matches the S29a/S29c "Standard Post Structure" equivalent); :192 "**Axis 2: The 8 Thought Leadership
+  Angles**" → "The 8 Content Angles". (lines 77/193 filename pointers → S29e.)
+- `skills/linkedin-strategy/SKILL.md:176` phase-focus cell "Thought leadership, cross-platform" →
+  "Signature content, cross-platform" (judgment-call; the Authority phase's column-1 is already
+  "Authority", so "Signature content" avoids the echo).
+- `config/user-profile.template.md:35` "1. [ ] Build thought leadership & authority" → "Build authority &
+  influence" (judgment-call; "& authority" already present, so a straight map would duplicate).
+- `assets/checklists/quality-scorecard.md:136` "Passes thought leadership test:" → "Passes Authority Value
+  Test:" (consistent with the renamed test; its 3 questions ARE the Authority Value Test). (line 132
+  buzzword denylist = FORM B, untouched.)
+- `assets/case-studies/case-study-template.md:173` "**Best for:** Thought leadership, showing expertise" →
+  "Authority content, showing expertise".
+- `hooks/scripts/__tests__/clipboard-helper.test.mjs:61` unicode fixture "'🚀 Thought leadership → impact'"
+  → "'🚀 Authority → impact'" (judgment-call; the test asserts unicode/emoji handling — 🚀 + → retained, so
+  coverage is unchanged; pathguard allows `__tests__/*.mjs`).
+
+**KEPT BY DESIGN (FORM B = 8, operator-locked).** Five buzzword-denylist entries that MUST list the banned
+word "thought leader" (`skills/linkedin-studio/SKILL.md:78`, `assets/checklists/quality-scorecard.md:132`,
+`CLAUDE.md:124`, `README.md:217`, `hooks/prompts/content-quality-gate.md:13`) + three role usages
+(`skills/linkedin-networking/SKILL.md:9` & `:185`, `README.md:158` "niche thought leaders").
+
+**VERIFY.**
+- Re-grep final FORM A `thought leadership` (space) in the S29d scope → **NONE**.
+- FORM B in scope = **8**, unchanged.
+- Filename pointers `thought-leadership-angles.md` in scope = **21**, unchanged (S29e).
+- New terms present (1:1 with edits): "Identify Content Angles", "Standard Post", "The 8 Content Angles",
+  "Signature content, cross-platform", "Build authority & influence", "Authority Value Test", "Authority
+  content, showing expertise", "🚀 Authority → impact".
+- `node --test clipboard-helper.test.mjs` → **pass 13 / fail 0** (the fixture change kept the test valid).
+- `bash scripts/test-runner.sh` → `Passed: 81 · Failed: 0 · Warnings: 0`, **exit 0**; counts
+  **29/19/26/6** + v0.5.0 unchanged.
+- Disposition: **FIXED** (8 edits, 6 files). Commit `b804a04` (local; push held — the STATE.md-tracking
+  commit `773340b` is parked at the tip, so a normal push would carry it; awaiting operator decision).
+
+**SURFACED (queued, not swept).** Remaining S29 queue: **S29e** rename `thought-leadership-angles.md` →
+`content-angles.md` + all pointers (atomic; filename locked; the file's in-file FORM A is already gone, so
+S29e is a pure rename + pointer-update). After S29e: **S30** magnitude-scrub. The plugin-wide FORM A scrub
+is now complete except the canonical filename itself (S29e) and the one kept ironic quote
+(`references/video-strategy-guide.md:429`).
