09-14 follow-through

Done, unstruck: R13 (Shopper.astro:53-58; index.astro:58,64), R14 (phrases gone). Open: R10 (recommended-playsets.yaml:16,38,60,82 still 3-4/5-6), R11 (star-chart-maze still "denser and longer than the 7-8 band's"), R12 (browse.astro:164 "every week" vs faq.astro:80-81; "Three a day" only at CustomizeSheet.astro:81). Decisions 1-4 unruled (escalations.md:267-270).

Findings

  1. Teacher-facing copy vs ruling 30 addendum. account.astro:67 "For parents, guardians, and teachers." → "For parents and guardians."; privacy.astro:325 "made for parents, guardians and teachers" → "made for parents and guardians"; account.astro:135 "Setting this up for a class? Tell us." → drop (terms.astro:30 stays, ruling 23).
  2. Shelf naming, ruling 18. Copy says "the shelf" (index.astro:81, browse.astro:164); browse.astro:74 <h1>Browse {GAMES}</h1> → <h1>The shelf <span class="scribble-aside">every {GAME}, by age and skill</span></h1>. Nav/title: decision 1.
  3. "2–10" vs shelf. Live /browse/ facet "Ages 2-3 2"; Shopper.astro:27 offers an "Ages 2-3" chip from one live game (games.js:142-146); playset needs six; lane held (queue.md:12). → decision 2.
  4. RecommendedPlaysets.astro:21 "Editorial sets, not personalized to a child." → "Sets we put together by hand, not tuned to your kid."

Decisions needed

  1. Header labels "Plan a playset" (Base.astro:23; = 09-14 decision 3), "Browse games" vs rulings 15/18. Default apply both; cost: two nav labels change.
  2. Planner 2-3 chip (Shopper.astro:27): one in-band live game; floor 2 ruled 2026-09-01 (queue.md:160). Gate chip at ≥6 in-band? Default yes; cost: no 2-3 chip until the held lane ships.
  3. Tier name "Plus" (account.astro:213 "Daily email delivery comes with Plus."; account-kids.js:334,360): no founder ruling found, not verified; confirm or rename.
  4. 09-14 decisions 1, 2, 4 remain open.
