Removes the semicolons from the manuscript prose, per a house style rule: no em dashes and
no semicolons in docs or user-facing text.

paper/paper.md only. No claim, citation or word changed, only punctuation and sentence
boundaries. Semicolons inside pandoc citation groups ([@a; @b]) are left alone: that
separator is markup, CSL re-emits it from the style, and the comma form silently drops a
citation with a green build.

Draft PDF verified green on the branch.

Ty's 2026-11-07 style rule: docs and user-facing prose carry no semicolons
and no em dashes. Rewrites the eight prose semicolons in paper/paper.md as
commas, with no change to any claim or citation, and rewraps the one
paragraph whose lines grew past the file's width.

The remaining semicolon in the file separates two keys inside a single
Pandoc citation group ([@goloborodko-2013; @levitsky-2019]). That is
citation markup, not prose, so it stays.
