Problem

Stage 11 rows in HISTORY.md have drifted into essay-length paragraphs (~240 words each) while Stage 1 through Stage 8 rows are one or two sentences. The table format was established as "short" in the early stages — detailed narrative lives in the Stage-intro paragraphs above each table, not inside the rows themselves.

v0.0.119 was shortened in PR #511 after CR caught the drift. The remaining Stage 11 entries should get the same treatment for consistency.

Rows to trim

The long-form rows in the Stage 11 table at HISTORY.md lines ~244–256:

• v0.0.112 (Type-checked pure program produces incorrect runtime output that isolated probes cannot reproduce #464 GC shadow stack overflow)
• v0.0.113 (Decompose vera/wasm/calls.py (8,337 lines) into subsystem mixins #418 calls.py decomposition)
• v0.0.114 (Add IO.sleep, IO.time, and IO.stderr operations #463 IO.sleep/time/stderr)
• v0.0.115 (Add Random effect for number generation #465 Random effect)
• v0.0.116 (Add math built-ins (log, trig, constants) #467 Math built-ins)
• v0.0.117 (Add array utility built-ins (sort, reverse, contains, find, any/all) #466 Array utilities phase 1)
• v0.0.118 (Add string utility built-ins (reverse, pad, chars, trim variants) #470 + Add character classification built-ins (is_digit, is_alpha, etc.) #471 String + character)
• (non-release rows: CHANGELOG enforcement, GC header widening, iterative array ops, dependabot uv)

Style target

Look at Stage 1 entries at lines ~17–25 for the shape. One sentence of "what shipped" plus a few distinctive details. No exhaustive function lists, no design rationale, no "eliminates the X pattern" flourishes — those belong in the CHANGELOG entry or the Stage-intro paragraph.

Expected diff: ~1,500 words → ~500 words across the Stage 11 table. Narrative context for the stage as a whole stays in the Stage 11 intro paragraph above the table.

Why now

Noticed during PR #511 review. CR pushed back twice on the v0.0.119 row being too long. The defence I tried ("every Stage 11 entry is a paragraph, this one matches") confused "the rows above me" with "the established format" — a local consistency check that rewarded the drift instead of catching it.
