summary
Shows a concrete process: inventory repos into four categories, prioritize tiered word lists and treat them like an API contract, and automate detection with a YAML rule set for the woke linter plus editor hints via the Alex VS Code extension. Demonstrations include an API field renamed from "masterDevice" to "controlDevice" across v7.0→v7.1, fixing training containers by upgrading Git to use "main", and an inclusive language inventory tool that uses a GitHub token to produce CSV reports and a Jenkins job that flags issues with a two‑week remediation window.
