[tjkessler]

Summary

• Cleaned up public-facing docs (Read the Docs sources and contributing guide) for clearer, less internal wording.

Test plan

• Skim the updated Sphinx pages (api, architecture, quickstart) for readability
• Confirm contributing guide still points maintainers at the architecture page
• Optional: rebuild docs locally with make html under docs/
