CONTRIBUTING states doc-headers are written as plain text -- the header
is read as-is by config-help, by funcsave, and by anyone opening the
file, and docs/codespans.py adds the site's inline code spans at render
time. 22 files had drifted from that, carrying 41 hand-written spans
that reached config-help and the man page as literal backtick
characters inside an otherwise verbatim block.
The one span whose content ended in a space is requoted rather than
dropped, so "read> " keeps reading as a prompt string.
RETURNS previously conflated fish's $status exit code with genuine
stdout/printed output, e.g. rm listing "0/1" as if they were print
values rather than exit codes. Rename RETURNS to EXIT STATUS across
all 83 documented functions, and reintroduce RETURNS as a distinct
label reserved for the 15 functions that actually print to stdout.
Update build-manual.py's ENTRY_HEADS to render Exit Status before
Returns, manualtools.py's SECTIONS constant, and AGENTS.md's label
order and label-usage guidance to match. Add two verify-manual.py
regression tests: EXIT STATUS bodies must never contain stray
stdout/printed language, and Returns: must always render after
Exit Status: when both are present. Regenerate docs/fish-config.md.
