Description of your pull request and other information

Part of #1967, in the same shape as #2059. This trims lint.yml's comments to the why and the constraints.

• Removed: the PYLINT_FLAGS history (PYLINT_FLAGS loads a plugin that does not exist, so compare-to-empty-string never runs #767), a "measured at" note, the list of PRs that fixed actionlint's findings, a repeated continue-on-error explanation, and the run-report narration.
• Kept: every reason, every #NNN ref, the ruleset id, the actionlint pin and -ignore rationale with their upstream links, the vermin blocker, and the promotion order. The header sentence saying isort runs only in cron-vendor.yml also stays, because test_isort_clean and test_tier_guard cite it.
• Comments only: yaml.safe_load of main's file and this one compare equal, and every non-comment line is identical and in the same order.
• Tests: the workflow readers (actionlint, lint/pages reports, at-a-glance, conventions, KTLO guard, pins, isort, tier guard) all pass.

GOOD TO GO at 3ac4ad3cb (Sonnet cross-review). The change is comments only: yaml.safe_load gives equal documents, every non-comment line is identical, and no other file changed. Every reason a maintainer needs is still there, including:

• the ruleset 23497679 tie and the shellcheck/actionlint pins;
• the concurrency.queue ignore with its upstream links, and the actionlint version needed for anchors;
• the run-last ordering and R0401;
• the vermin decision, and ci(python): declare the version tiers and the latest version in one file (#1660) #1677.

No remaining comment dangles, steps are cited by name, and the workflow tests pass (tier guard 130 passed; 359 passed in the project subset). The only loss is history: the #767 PYLINT_FLAGS paragraph explaining why R0022, W0012 and emptystring are absent.

Ready to merge at 3ac4ad3cb: the review is GOOD TO GO and CI is complete (56 passed, 0 failed). The ordering leg ran 1991 tests with 0 failures. The 3.8–3.10 KTLO legs show 0 failing tests, and the PR is based on current main (fd0d2e724).
