The writer starts the process by creating the option, so the writer's side comes first: in the two payoff bullets, the payoff figure's caption, and the settlement invariant. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014RdEWCoCChaoKPhvcftHVG
The horizontal axis was a faint grey line through the middle of the chart with no arrowhead, and its label sat in the bottom corner, so nothing said that the grey line was the NVDAx price. Draw it in the same weight as the profit axis with an arrowhead, put its label at the arrow, mark the zero on the profit scale, prefix the price ticks with a dollar sign, and say in the headline and the caption what each axis is. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014RdEWCoCChaoKPhvcftHVG
A profit line against a price axis reads as a time series first, and the curve only shows each side's net. Replace it with four concrete closing prices side by side, two below the strike and two above, each saying what Alice and Bob do and what each ends up with against doing nothing. The file keeps its name, so nothing else moves; the caption and the one sentence that pointed at the curve follow. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014RdEWCoCChaoKPhvcftHVG
The call, put, covered call, cash-secured put, and writer entries said the writer "posts" the collateral, and the writer entry still said "lot"; the chapter now says the writer supplies it to the program and calls the thing an option. Add a "covered" entry pointing at covered call, since the chapter bolds the bare word, and an "underlying" entry, since the chapter uses it as a noun throughout. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014RdEWCoCChaoKPhvcftHVG
The sentence after "no margin, no health factor, no liquidator, and no oracle" said all of them return in the perpetual futures chapter. The chapter's closing already makes that pointer twice, and the reader does not need it here. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014RdEWCoCChaoKPhvcftHVG
A strike is a per-share price, so "supplies the full strike" was missing its noun and "the full strike price" would name the wrong quantity. The put bullet and the two glossary entries now say the writer supplies enough of the quote token to buy every share at the strike price. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014RdEWCoCChaoKPhvcftHVG
"The tokens themselves change hands, rather than a cash difference" drew no distinction onchain, where a cash difference is a token too. Physical settlement moves the underlying asset itself at the strike; cash settlement moves only the price difference in the quote token and leaves the underlying where it was. The chapter and the glossary entry now say so. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014RdEWCoCChaoKPhvcftHVG

Summary
Small edits to the Options chapter and its glossary entries, each its own commit. The first four were pushed to the branch of PR #90 after that PR had merged, so they never reached
main; this PR carries them on a branch restarted from the currentmain.Listed,Held, andExercised. The limits of this approach are covered in the failure-modes section."The removal of the separate vault-authority accounts from the figures and prose is a separate PR, so this one can merge independently of the companion repository.
