These five patterns appear when text is copied directly out of a chat UI without scrubbing. They do not occur in genuinely human-written text — when present, AI involvement is essentially confirmed. Sourced from Wikipedia: Signs of AI writing (revision fetched 2026-05-01), specifically the "Markup", "Citations", and "Communication intended for the user" sections. §30 Reference-markup artifacts: turn0search0, citeturn0search0, :contentReference[oaicite:0], oai_citation, [web:1], [attached_file:1], <grok_card>, utm_source=chatgpt.com, referrer=grok.com, the JSON-shaped attribution payloads. §31 Phrasal templates and placeholder text: [INSERT NAME], 2025-xx-xx access-dates, [YEAR] / [COMPANY] / [INDUSTRY], and the "forgot to fill in the blank" failure mode. §32 Markdown / wikitext contamination: leftover triple-backtick fences in prose, "Would you like me to convert this to ___?" meta-prompts the chatbot wrote to itself, lone --- breaks before every heading. §33 Section summaries / formal "Conclusion" closers: distinct from §25 (generic positive endings) — this is about the structural tic of having a "Conclusion" / "Final Thoughts" / "Key Takeaways" section at all, even when the body already made the point. §34 Didactic disclaimers: "It's important to note that...", "as always, consult a professional" — a GPT-3.5 / early-GPT-4 era tic that still leaks through on health, legal, and financial topics. README: bumps "29 patterns" → "34 patterns" and adds the new "Artifacts and Contamination" table. WARP.md: corrects the stale "25 patterns" reference to match SKILL.md's actual count. Note: there is partial overlap with open PRs blader#85 ("patterns 30-31") and blader#94 ("3 wiki-sourced patterns"). Happy to rebase or carve up if either lands first. No version bump.

Brings the fork's main branch in line with the maintained local v2.6.0, consolidating the changes that are also opened as focused PRs against blader/humanizer (blader#111, blader#112, blader#113): - §7 expanded with era-specific AI vocabulary clusters (GPT-4 / GPT-4o / GPT-5 eras), plus 'bolstered' and 'meticulous' added to the master list and a literal-vs-figurative caveat. - §21 renamed to "Knowledge-Cutoff Disclaimers and Speculative Gap-Filling"; covers the retrieval-augmented "maintains a low profile" / "keeps personal details private" speculation pattern. - New patterns §30-34: reference-markup artifacts (turn0search0, oaicite, utm_source=chatgpt.com, etc.), placeholder leftovers, Markdown/wikitext contamination, formal "Conclusion" closers, didactic disclaimers. - New Detection Guidance group: what NOT to flag (false positives), signs of human writing to preserve, and per-model LLM idiolects. Frontmatter version bumped to 2.6.0. README pattern table updated (29 → 34 patterns) with a new Artifacts and Contamination section and a pointer to Detection Guidance. WARP.md count corrected from the stale "25 patterns" to 34. Sourced from Wikipedia: Signs of AI writing (revision fetched 2026-05-01).

Summary
Adds five new patterns covering the artifacts that appear when text is copied directly out of a chat UI without scrubbing. These do not occur in genuinely human-written text — when present, AI involvement is essentially confirmed.
Sourced from Wikipedia: Signs of AI writing (revision fetched 2026-05-01), specifically the "Markup", "Citations", and "Communication intended for the user" sections.

Happy to rebase, renumber, or carve up this PR if either of those lands first. If neither does, this PR can land on its own.
