-### Environment files
-
-This repo has two environment definitions. They serve different purposes:
-
-| File | Managed by | Purpose |
-|------|------------|---------|
-| `pyproject.toml` / `uv.lock` | `uv` | **Local development.** All packages needed to run every notebook. Use `uv sync` to install. |
-| `environment.yml` | conda (CI only) | **Site builds.** Minimal Jupyter kernel so Quarto can render pre-executed notebooks. You should not need this locally. |
-
-Quarto is configured with `freeze: true`, which means it never re-executes
-notebook code during a build. It converts the already-rendered `.ipynb` outputs
-straight to HTML. This keeps CI fast and avoids the need for data access
-credentials in the build environment.
-
-### Pre-commit hooks
-
-The pre-commit configuration runs on every commit:
-
-- **gitleaks** — secret detection
-- **ruff** — Python linting and formatting
-- **markdown-link-check** — broken link detection
-- **check-notebook-headers** — validates required sections (summary, prerequisites, author)
-- **check-notebook-imports** — cross-references imports against `pyproject.toml` (warn-only)
-
-See [`.git-hooks/README.md`](.git-hooks/README.md) for details on the custom
-notebook hooks.
-
-## Data files
-
-Notebooks should fetch data programmatically at runtime (e.g., via
-`earthaccess` or `harmony-py`) rather than committing data files to the
-repository. Large files such as `.nc`, `.hdf`, and `.h5` are not tracked
-by git and should stay that way.

-### Style Guidelines
+## Style guidelines
 
 The following are recommended and/or enforced via the CI/CD workflow:
 
-- **Python Version**: This project requires Python 3.10 or higher. All code and notebooks should be compatible with Python 3.10+.
+- **Python version** — Python 3.10 or higher. All code and notebooks should be compatible with Python 3.10+.
 - Use `ruff` for linting and formatting.
 - Wherever possible and appropriate, move inline comments into notebook Markdown cells.
 - Wherever possible and appropriate, replace static references to local files with code that will programmatically pull data files when running a notebook.
 
-### Content Guidelines
+## Content guidelines
 
 Ensure each notebook contains, at a minimum:
 
-- A quarto header with an auto-generated "last published" date included
+- A Quarto header with an auto-generated "last published" date included
 - A Markdown header section with:
   - A **Summary** or **Overview** block
   - A **Prerequisites** block
   - A **Notebook Author/Affiliation** block
-- Numbered sections that use Markdown hash symbols (#) for headings
