Conversation
- Replace CESM-specific active component namelist section with generic guidance - Generalize CESM-ECT documentation to generic ECT documentation - Remove CESM-specific URLs to namelist documentation and verification website - Remove model-specific machine references (cheyenne) from examples - Generalize CESM-specific paths in examples to use placeholders - Add notes to model-specific example outputs for context - Keep model references where they provide useful context (e.g. listing CIME-driven models, historical conventions, concrete examples) Agent-Logs-Url: https://github.com/ESMCI/cime/sessions/2ef12468-32a6-42e3-a377-f05a2a354d5c Co-authored-by: jasonb5 <2191036+jasonb5@users.noreply.github.com>

Description
Remove model-specific documentation (CESM namelist URLs, CESM-ECT branding, cheyenne machine references, CESM-specific paths) while preserving model references that provide useful context for users.
Removed (not directly relevant to CIME):
setting-up-a-case.rst(CAM, CLM, CICE, POP2, CISM withcesm.ucar.eduURLs) — replaced with generic component namelist guidancetools/ect.rstandsupport-a-new-machine.rst/glade/scratch/cesm_user,$CESMDATAROOT)Generalized (relevant to CIME, made model-agnostic):
contributing-guide.rst→<model>placeholderssystem_testing.rstgrids.rstrunning-a-case.rsttroubleshooting.rstKept (provides useful context):
cime_model="cesm")Also fixes pre-existing typo:
tempororal→temporalinpes.rst.Checklist
