Drop the category kicker from the 83 sidebar Stories (kicker is now optional;
hidden verification Stories keep it) and shorten or remove repeated, obvious
or internal page/section descriptions. Required specs, limits, virtual-data
and undecided-value notices stay. Story IDs, exports, fixtures, shared state
notes and package code are unchanged. Record: docs/reports/storybook-ui-simplification-2026-10-22.md
Storybook is served on the web (main deployment), so the Windows BAT
launcher and its Node helper are no longer used. The root PORTABLE
r4-r6 verification records are historical ZIP-era notes that nothing
references.
- Delete start-storybook.bat and scripts/start-storybook.mjs
- Delete PORTABLE-R4/R5-CANDIDATE/R5/R6-VERIFICATION.md
- README, publisher distribution guide, LAN preview note: point to the
web Storybook; keep npm run storybook for local development
- v2 baseline report: unlink the removed files, keep the record text
