docs: propagate recent doc fixes to sibling ndarray, stats/base/ndarray, and types packages

[Planeshifter]

Description

Propagating fixes merged to develop between 2026-04-24 15:07 PDT and 2026-04-24 17:40 PDT to sibling packages with the same defect.

3ca7c21 — drop redundant data-type qualifier in *-like test comments

Propagates the fix from 3ca7c21 — dropping the verbose "having a recognized/supported data type" qualifier from the first-argument $ExpectError block comment — to the top-level sibling packages, which also carried a grammar defect ("first argument is not an ndarray which has" instead of "first argument which is not an ndarray"). Both issues are corrected to the canonical form: // The compiler throws an error if the function is provided a first argument which is not an ndarray....

5a06940 — fix BooleanArray @example annotation typo

Commit 5a06940 fixed a copy-paste typo in which the @example block for Complex32Array was annotated Complex64Array; the same defect pattern appeared in the BooleanArray interface, where the @example block carried a Complex64Array annotation instead of BooleanArray. This patch corrects that stray annotation so the documented example matches the interface it illustrates.

be5b88f — drop redundant in order from stats/base/ndarray/* parameter docs

Follows be5b88f, which removed the redundant qualifier "in order" from containing the following ndarrays in order: headers in blas/base/ndarray/* docs; the bulleted list already implies order, making the phrase noise. This commit applies the same mechanical replacement to the equivalent headers in both README.md and docs/repl.txt for the following stats/base/ndarray packages:

• lib/node_modules/@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/covarmtk
• lib/node_modules/@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/dcovarmtk
• lib/node_modules/@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/dmeanstdev
• lib/node_modules/@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/dztest
• lib/node_modules/@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/dztest2
• lib/node_modules/@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/scovarmtk
• lib/node_modules/@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/sztest
• lib/node_modules/@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/sztest2
• lib/node_modules/@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/ztest
• lib/node_modules/@stdlib/stats/base/ndarray/ztest2

JSDoc and TypeScript type stubs are unchanged, consistent with the scope of the source commit.

Validation

• Search scope: each source pattern was searched within the directories the source commit touched plus their immediate sibling namespaces (ndarray/* for the *-like test comment; lib/node_modules/@stdlib/types/ for the @example annotation; stats/base/ndarray/* for the in order qualifier). Originating packages already fixed by the source commits were excluded.
• Independent validation: two independent Opus validation agents reviewed every candidate site by reading each file in full; both returned confirmed for all 23 sites. A separate Sonnet style-consistency agent confirmed each replacement matches the verbatim form established by the source commit.
• Deliberately excluded:
  • The numpy migration-guide stray-bracket pattern from 5a06940 — no remaining occurrences in scope.
  • The csum @returns {number} → Complex64 pattern from 09c66469 — sibling complex-sum packages already use the correct return type.
  • The "modernize examples and benchmarks" wave (~20 chore commits) — large scope, ongoing maintainer-paced rollout, not a defect of this routine's class.
  • The ## Notes JSDoc-restructuring patterns from 81d0c40, b490c625, bdc1f9b — adaptive per-site rewriting beyond mechanical analog scope.
  • The f5a9f7d "one-dimensional" qualifier additions — stats/base/ndarray/* already use the qualifier on list items.
  • Namespace re-export files (blas/ext/base/ndarray/docs/types/index.d.ts, stats/base/ndarray/docs/types/index.d.ts) — source commits left these untouched.
  • JSDoc / docs/types/index.d.ts for stats packages — source be5b88f only edited user-facing README/repl.txt; matching scope.

Disclosure

This PR was authored by Claude Code as part of a routine that scans recent develop commits for generalizable doc fixes and propagates them to sibling packages. Each propagation site was independently verified by two Opus validation agents and a Sonnet style-consistency agent before patches were applied; the changes are pure mechanical text replacements drawn verbatim from the cited source commits.
