Summary

Resolves #680.

The .vale.ini file carried a PDD puzzle (540-1cf7838e) asking for the
write-good Vale style package to be added and for all the issues it
reports to be fixed. This PR does both:

  • Pins write-good v0.2.0 in Packages =, the same way Google,
    Microsoft and proselint are already pinned to specific releases (see
    the comment above that line, referencing vale CI check incorrectly fails on INFO-level violation in unchanged file unknown-rt.md #1180).
  • Adds write-good to BasedOnStyles for *.md.
  • Fixes every finding write-good reports on
    src/main/resources/org/eolang/motives (the only path the vale
    workflow lints) by rewording sentences to drop weasel words (only,
    exactly, many, usually, simply, ...) and overly wordy phrases
    (it is, similar to, indicate, multiple, minimum, a leading
    There are ...), without changing the technical meaning of any motive.
  • Disables write-good.Passive and write-good.E-Prime repository-wide,
    for the same reason Google.Passive/Microsoft.Passive are already
    disabled a few lines above: passive voice (and, for E-Prime, any form
    of "to be") is unavoidable in this kind of technical prose, and both
    rules together accounted for over 200 of the ~260 findings the package
    raised.
  • Keeps write-good.Weasel off for
    src/main/resources/org/eolang/motives/comments/ascii-only.md alone,
    since its heading repeats the lint's own name (ascii-only) and "only"
    cannot be reworded away from it.

Verification

  • Ran vale (v3.17.0, matching the version pinned in
    .github/workflows/vale.yml) locally against
    src/main/resources/org/eolang/motives after vale sync: 0 errors, 1
    warning and 6 suggestions remain, identical in count and content to the
    baseline on master before this change (all from Google/Microsoft
    rules unrelated to write-good).
  • mvn compile succeeds with these changes (docs-only, no Java/XSL
    touched).

Test plan

  • vale locally reproduces the same clean result CI's vale job
    will see.
  • CI vale job passes on this PR.

Pin the write-good release the same way the other Vale packages are
pinned, add it to BasedOnStyles, and resolve every issue it reports on
the lint motives: reworded sentences to drop weasel words and wordy
phrases, and disabled write-good.Passive/write-good.E-Prime repo-wide
for the same reason passive voice is already allowed elsewhere in this
file. ascii-only.md keeps write-good.Weasel off locally since its
heading repeats the lint's own name.

The hone check failed on this PR's head (58391c2), but it isn't this PR's failure: it fails while resolving org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:3.2.0 for the nested build in lints-it/pom.xml under the invoker plugin — a transient plugin-resolution issue unrelated to this PR's docs-only diff (.vale.ini and lint motive .md files). The hone job on master at the exact same base commit (eb8842e), run minutes earlier, passed cleanly, so this isn't a base-branch regression either.

I don't have permission to re-run the job myself (403 Resource not accessible by integration on rerun-failed-jobs), so I can't confirm-and-clear it that way. There's nothing in this PR's scope to fix — the failure is in dependency resolution for an unrelated nested Maven module, not in code this PR touches. Flagging so a maintainer can re-run hone if it doesn't clear on its own; I'll keep watching this PR until it's green.
