chore: follow-up corrections for commits merged to develop on 2026-05-10

[Planeshifter]

Follow-up fixes for commits merged to develop between 2026-05-09 18:57 PDT (d1d485d) and 2026-05-10 04:42 PDT (e64ea31).

Description

This pull request:

• Corrects four small defects surfaced by reviewing the 49 commits merged to develop in the past 24 hours. All findings were independently flagged by at least one of four parallel review agents and re-verified against the current source before fixing.

ndarray/base/descriptor

• ndarray/base/descriptor README's Notes block listed the returned property as **buffer** while the implementation returns data (b5d65f3); corrected to **data** in lib/node_modules/@stdlib/ndarray/base/descriptor/README.md to match lib/main.js, repl.txt, and the Descriptor interface.

namespace/lib/namespace/random

• In 67382e1, lib/node_modules/@stdlib/namespace/lib/namespace/random/main.js had copy-paste errors in the related arrays: discreteUniform incorrectly referenced @stdlib/random/uniform instead of @stdlib/random/discrete-uniform (line 154), and uniform incorrectly referenced the discrete-uniform strided variant instead of the uniform one (line 443). Both were corrected to match the canonical namespace convention.

ndarray/base/from-scalar

• In c5215cc, use canonical // returns annotation instead of // buf => for Complex128 and Complex64 doctest examples in lib/node_modules/@stdlib/ndarray/base/from-scalar/docs/types/index.d.ts (lines 109 and 144).

ndarray/from-scalar

• In 39693af, correct the Complex128 and Complex64 doctest annotations in lib/node_modules/@stdlib/ndarray/from-scalar/docs/types/index.d.ts (lines 247 and 279) to use // returns instead of // buf => for consistency with sibling doctests.

Validation

Each fix is the merged + de-duplicated output of four parallel review agents (two style auditors against docs/style-guides/javascript, two bug scanners restricted to the diff window).

Checked:

• stdlib JavaScript style-guide compliance against representative reference packages (math/base/special/cabsf, stats/base/ndarray/sum, blas/ext/base/ndarray/gjoin).
• Diff-only bug scan (wrong imports, copy-paste errors in metadata, doctest output sanity, type-signature consistency).
• README / repl.txt / TypeScript declaration cross-consistency for the new ndarray/base/descriptor package.
• Cross-reference of random.* namespace related arrays against the canonical pattern within the same file.

Deliberately excluded (anything requiring interpretation or out-of-window context):

• The chore: modernize examples and benchmarks sweep across stats/base/ndarray/*, the TypeScript generic removals, the Float16Array/*Vector/random.* namespace additions themselves, and the Complex64 import fixes — all reviewed clean.
• Prose-style nits in the covarmtk / dcovarmtk / scovarmtk docs (mixed-article bullet lists in the arrays parameter description) — single-agent finding; intent of the originating docs: update copy commits was ambiguous, so dropped.
• Self-references in every random.* related array — the pattern is internally consistent across all 32 newly added entries; treated as deliberate until clarified.

• Read, understood, and followed the contributing guidelines.

Disclosure

This PR was authored by Claude Code. The fixes were surfaced by four parallel review agents reviewing the past 24 hours of develop commits, then merged, de-duplicated, and re-verified against the source before any edits were applied. Each fix was constrained to the originating commit's diff window; nothing outside the window was touched.
