website: remove unearned totality quantifiers
Phrases such as fills every control, holding everything a run needs, and downloads all of the input layers assert completeness where the plain statement carries the meaning, and control itself was a thesaurus substitution left over from removing dial. The quantifiers that state real rules stay: a cell builds only if every check passes, and a centre seeds beyond a walk of every existing centre.
