fix(man): remove empty date field from .TH header

claude · claude · commit cb4dbb6828c3 · 2026-03-28T19:15:25.000Z
Revert the .TH change that added an empty "" date field. The simpler form `.TH pdu 1 "pdu 0.21.1"` is the conventional approach used by clap_mangen and other tools. https://claude.ai/code/session_01CrXuWDMVQsiUBoy6ceACsF
