Current evaluation

Merged style-only PR renaming UK spellings to US: 'artefact' -> 'artifact' (commit cfdf3b1af) and 'organise' -> 'organize' (commit 263cb5a67) across 10 files.

Resolution: closed resolved

Reason: The PR was approved by 2 reviewers and merged; the wording changes landed as commits cfdf3b1af ('style: artefact -> artifact') and 263cb5a67 ('style: organise -> organize'). Remaining 'artefact' hits in the repo are in unrelated .github skill docs, and 'organise' no longer appears anywhere.
