Added

• Seven rhetorical-tic pattern categories adapted from Simon Willison's
  LLM cliché highlighter.
  Three ship with detector types: performed-insight (essayist tics that
  announce profundity — "sit with that", "that's not nothing", sentence-initial
  "Turns out", "is the whole point", "X is dead; long live X"),
  negation-chain (three-part "no fluff, no filler, no jargon" chains,
  stacked "didn't …" clauses, "don't call it X — call it Y"), and
  dev-blog-boilerplate ("it just works", "zero config", "sane defaults",
  "fits in your head"). Four are skill-only
  judgment rules with the reasons recorded in CATEGORIES.md: stacked
  rhetorical questions, same-opener sentence runs, stranded auxiliary
  contrast, and colon into a triple. Negation-chain items carry a stop-list
  so idiomatic pairs ("no more, no less", "no matter") stay clean.

Fixed

• The deterministic subset stays narrower than the judgment rules. The
  no … matcher now requires three short items, literal "the punchline",
  "worth naming", and "batteries included" senses stay out of regex matching,
  and "it just works out of the box" remains detectable without reviving the
  ordinary "works out to" false positive.
