Summary

  • Glossary cleanup: removed dapp and smart contract entries entirely; rewrote canister, actor, account, boundary nodes, fiduciary, user, and state change entries to drop smart-contract/dapp/DeFi language in favour of plain ICP framing
  • Glossary anchor fixes: fixed 225 broken single-letter section anchors (e.g. #c#canister, #n#network-nervous-system-nns) so in-page cross-links resolve correctly
  • Concept linking: linked canister and subnet on first use across 11 guide and getting-started pages where readers may arrive without prior context; changed the subnet link in canisters.md from the glossary to network-overview.md#subnets for richer context

Sync recommendation

hand-written

Glossary:
- Remove `dapp` and `smart contract` entries entirely
- Rewrite `canister`, `actor`, `account`, `boundary nodes`, `user` entries
  to drop smart contract / dapp language
- Fix `state change` entry: remove incorrect link to `transaction`
- Fix `fiduciary` entry: replace DeFi dapps framing with canister-manages-funds framing
- Fix 225 broken single-letter section anchors (e.g. `#c` → `#canister`)

Concept linking:
- Link `subnet` on first use in `canisters.md` to `network-overview.md#subnets`
  instead of the glossary
- Add first-use links to `concepts/canisters.md` and `concepts/network-overview.md#subnets`
  across 11 guide and getting-started pages where readers may land without
  prior context
