Parth e7d75c3b05 Rewrite Python comments in Google developer documentation style (#12)
* Rewrite comments in Google developer documentation style

Rewrite the comments and docstrings across the backend core modules so they
read plainly. The previous prose was accurate but dense and figurative, which
made it slow to skim.

Applies the Google developer documentation style guide: short sentences, active
voice, present tense, American spelling, and no metaphors, idioms, or
rhetorical asides. Replaces em-dash chains with separate sentences.

"""Opening an adventure fetches a window, not the whole story.
A story only ever gets longer. Production's longest is 607 actions and
589.5 kB in one response, and that number never decreases on its own. The
page load returns the newest `ACTION_PAGE` window, and the reader pages
upward from there.
The paging anchors on an action id rather than an offset, and these tests
cover why. An offset counted back from the newest shifts every older
position the moment a turn lands, which is exactly when a reader is likely
to be scrolling. An anchor means the same thing before and after.
