Perform a comprehensive audit of the manual against the @jmoenig/snap repository (v12.0.6) and HISTORY.md. Identify critical discrepancies where the manual is four major releases behind (Snap! 8.0 baseline). Key findings documented in docs/content-audit-2026-08.md: - Removed primitives (call/cc) still taught as core features. - UI changes in Settings and Input Type dialogs. - Missing core features: variadic if, first-class colors, and OOP 2.0. - Outdated hardware and library documentation. This audit serves as the roadmap for updating the manual to match the current state of Snap!. Co-authored-by: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>

Manual content audit against Snap! 12.0.6
Adds a comprehensive audit document (
docs/content-audit-2026-08.md) comparing the current manual (based on the Snap! 8.0 PDF, August 2022) against the Snap! source and HISTORY.md at jmoenig/snap v12.0.6. This serves as the prioritized roadmap for updating the manual, which is currently four major releases behind.Changes
docs/content-audit-2026-08.md— full audit report covering all 12 chapters and appendicesThe audit is organized into two parts:
Part A — Verifiably wrong or out of date (19 items):

Reviewer context
All findings were verified against the Snap! source tree (with
src/*.jsreferences) rather than trusting the changelog alone. Items are ordered by priority within each section. The audit covers common features for typical users and teachers; obscure extensions and screenshot styling drift are excluded.Superconductor Ticket Implementation | Guided Review
