I left out the last line, which I probably shouldn't have:
"That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more."
Agile doesn't mean no documentation and no tools - it just means they should not be the focus.

The difference is one of intent. Having tools or processes to have processes is a bureaucratic mess which they Agile folks rightfully wanted to cut with a scythe. Sword. Scary sharp thing of your choice.
There's a difference between building tools and process, and building a culture of toolsmiths and process tweakers. The latter, I think, follows the spirit of Agile but not the letter of it. And lean is just... throw the baby out with the bathwater. It's bureaucracy as written by a minimalist.
Except for Jira, of course. /s
