Research direction
Start at basic.types.general paragraph 5, linked in the issue, and review the surrounding terminology for program points introduced by C++26 Reflection. Update the editorial wording as appropriate, then build or render the draft to verify the section formatting and references.

Description
Especially after https://cplusplus.github.io/CWG/issues/3065.html, we use the wishy-washy language "in certain contexts" in https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.types.general#5:
A class type in certain contexts, an enumeration type in certain contexts ([dcl.enum]), or an array of unknown bound or of incomplete element type, is an incompletely-defined object type. [...]
It would be better to say "at certain program points" now that we have proper language to express this (I believe program points were recently introduced with C++26 Reflection).
I've floated the idea during yesterday's CWG telecon and it sounded like this may be doable editorially.
