From b34715f1520ff4f90a790203357b3e04bca7846e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kwaku Danso <72142185+cloud-dev101@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 23:00:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix(tier2-g): warmer Gate copy, generic example, plain-language advanced controls Round-three pass on the Gate card based on the latest UX feedback. - Tagline: "Keeps your guest list yours" -> "Only your guests get in" - Walk-through example now uses a neutral placeholder name (Sam) instead of "Aunty Patience". GuestGuard's audience is wedding couples, corporate planners, and party hosts as much as family organisers, and Sam is at home in any of those contexts. - The four-step "How does the Gate work?" expander was lightly rewritten for warmth and to remove em-dashes; the mechanism it describes is unchanged. - Advanced strictness controls now open with a real explanation rather than a one-liner about "band thresholds". The intro maps the three sliders to the three reactions (watch / flag / refuse), explains what the 0-100 numbers mean, and reassures hosts that the presets above are still fine for almost everyone. Each slider also gets a one-line caption tying its level dot (green / amber / red) to the user-visible effect. - The trusted-networks "What this is and isn't" panel had its quotes unwound into natural sentences; the empty-state copy was rewritten in the second person; "No decisions to review yet" reworded. - Pass through every user-visible string and replaced em-dashes with periods, commas, or natural rephrasing. Em-dashes only remain in code comments now (developer-facing, not on screen). No behaviour changes; no backend changes; no API changes.
