Micro-editing is one of three architectural annotation patterns surfaced by the change-management skill. It applies when the author has the correct text and is proposing verbatim substitution.

The pattern is implemented as the edit mode of the changeProposal shortcode (rendered via src/_includes/parts/change-proposal/edit.njk). The card stacks the current state on top, the proposed state below with a directional arrow, and the rationale at the bottom — a structured comparison that makes the change scannable.

Use micro-editing for:

• Typo corrections where the new spelling is obvious
• Wording refinements where the author already knows the better phrasing
• Small structural reorganizations within a paragraph
• Insertions (omit the asis (current state) field) or removals (omit the tobe (proposed state) field) that should be visible to readers rather than silent

Companion patterns: Micro-RAGing (when the direction is known but the replacement text isn't), Micro-flagging (when expertise is needed and there's no proposed resolution).
