Improve prose

…torial prose

Detect-then-edit pass with the avoid-ai-writing skill (docs profile,
technical carve-outs). Prose-only: no code cells, metadata, math, or
markup touched; all notebooks round-trip through jupytext.

- ~250 em dashes restructured into commas, parentheses, colons, and
  sentence splits across 21 files; zero remain in prose (code-fence
  comments and figure-caption strings excluded). No single-hyphen
  fallbacks were needed.
- All negation-pivot stacking removed: 8 rewrites in monetary-policy,
  2 in granger-causality, all positive-first with meaning preserved.
- Repetition condensed: monetary-policy's precision-vs-honesty thesis
  and structural-analysis's ordering-debate contrast each stated once
  (plus a closing treatment); identification.md's ordering admonition
  no longer restates its own body text.
- Self-praise cut ("a compelling demonstration of what structural VAR
  models can do"), both intensifier "genuinely"s dropped, and ~10
  copy-editing bugs fixed ("tell us tell us", "we can see observe",
  a garbled proxy-svar instrument sentence).

Verified: make docs-ci green under -W; independent grep sweeps confirm
zero prose dashes; jupytext parse checks pass on all eleven notebooks.
