What and why

"A verified school or landlord" was used as a generic stand-in for "whoever the money was locked for" in several places, which reads narrower than the product actually is. Replaced with "a verified payee" (already the defined term in AGENTS.md's glossary) everywhere it was doing that job, in both the vendored docs and the app's own UI copy.

Changes

  • Synced AGENTS.md, docs/PRD.md, docs/ARCHITECTURE_ESSENTIALS.md from Kinlock-Org/.github via scripts/sync-docs.sh (canonical change in .github PR #23).
  • messages/en.json: app.tagline, pages.home.heroHeadline, pages.home.heroSubtext, pages.home.lockBody, pages.home.sendersBody, pages.send.intro.

Left unchanged: docs/PRD.md's stakeholder-table Payee row, the "(a school or landlord)" example, the "school credited the student / landlord applied the rent" illustration, and the B4 pilot-plan cell — these factually describe the two current MVP categories (School/Rent) rather than pitch the product.

Hard rules / invariants touched

None. Wording only; no behavior, API, or logic change.

Tests

pnpm lint, pnpm typecheck, pnpm test (92/92, including lib/i18n/inline-strings.test.ts's guard against un-externalized copy) all green. No pnpm build needed — no route or component logic touched.

Docs / ADR

Vendored docs re-synced from canonical. No ADR: wording, not a decision change.

Roadmap

No row changes. Changelog entry added (2026-10-08, app).

Assumptions and open questions

This repo's docs-in-sync CI check fetches Kinlock-Org/.github's main branch, which doesn't have the canonical edit until .github PR #23 merges. This check will likely fail until then; re-run it after that PR merges.

Synced AGENTS.md/docs/PRD.md/docs/ARCHITECTURE_ESSENTIALS.md from
Kinlock-Org/.github (scripts/sync-docs.sh, canonical change in
.github PR #23), and updated the same wording in the app's own UI
copy (messages/en.json): the tagline, hero headline/subtext, lock and
sender explainer body text, and the /send intro. "A verified school
or landlord" read narrower than the product is; "a verified payee"
is already the defined term.
