Integration PR for the per-section writing-style review. Aggregates the section PRs that target the shared base branch writing-style-review, then merges the whole set into main.

Draft until the child PRs are reviewed and merged into writing-style-review. This PR's diff grows section by section as each child lands in the base branch.

Child PRs (each → writing-style-review)

Snyk API & Web (snyk-api-web/) and Agent security ("Evo by Snyk") are out of scope here and handled separately.

Apply the Snyk documentation writing-style rules across the discover-snyk
section (95 files updated).

- Passive to active voice, naming the actor; present tense over future "will"
- Capability phrasing ("allows/enables you to" -> "lets you"/"you can")
- Word choice: via -> through/using; in order to -> to; prior to -> before;
  once -> after; e.g./i.e./etc. -> for example/that is/and so on; & -> and
- Remove brand possessives, AI buzzwords, and filler (just, simply, easily)
- Sentence-case headings; bold UI labels; Projects/Organizations/Groups casing
- Fix copy-paste provider errors and obvious prose typos

Frontmatter, GitBook components, HTML tables, links, and technical literals unchanged.

Empty marker commit so the integration PR (writing-style-review -> main)
can be opened as a draft. Child section PRs stack on top of this base.
Safe to drop once the first section PR merges into the base.
