French translation review — native-speaker read-through (project tracker) #40

This issue listed the French edition's lecture review issues from 2026-08-21. Each lecture still has its own review issue in this repository (the review issues), and each still closes when its lecture's pull request merges. What matters most, in order: meaning errors, terms, French that reads unnaturally (academic register), and code comments; please skip the spacing before : ; ! ? and the translation: block, and report errors in the English upstream (the translation manual's What to look for). Lectures already reviewed are not regenerated, and there is no deadline. How the remaining lectures are reviewed is settled on #82: each is drafted afresh from the current English and opened as its own pull request, when you are ready for it.
