Second pass on user-facing strings after the em-dash sweep and
yellow-pill demotion. Voice/abbreviation/edge-value parity.
Voice consistency:
- `index.pending_pledges_callout` reframed from "Sure is watching
your linked accounts" (system-as-watcher voice) to "You have
pending pledges. Sure will confirm them on the next sync."
(user-actor, system-action). Matches the surrounding
user-centric voice on the KPI strip and the helper-text pattern
("Sure will look for…", "Sure will catch it") used elsewhere.
- `goal_pledges.new.helper_manual` flipped pronoun "We'll record"
to "Sure will record" so the modal's two helper lines share a
single narrator. The transfer-helper already says "Sure will
look for"; this matches.
- `form_stepper.errors.*` dropped the apologetic "Please …" voice
("Please give your goal a name.") for the terse imperative
the rest of the feature uses ("Give your goal a name." / "Set
a target above zero." / "Pick at least one funding account.").
Parallelism:
- `kpi.velocity_delta_zero_base` was the only `velocity_delta_*`
string spelling out "30 days" while siblings used `30d`. Switch
to "First 30d of activity" so the sub-tile reads in one unit.
- `Depository` titlecase in `at_least_one_linked_account_required`,
`must_be_depository`, and `no_depository_accounts` collapsed to
lowercase. Common noun, not a UI label. Matches the empty-state
body in `funding_accounts.empty.body` which was already lowercase.
Test fixture for `must_be_depository` updated.
- `projection.reached` was the same string as `celebration.heading`
("Goal reached. Nice work."), making the celebration moment feel
templated. The projection slot is the chart's empty state when
there's nothing to project; rephrase to "You've hit the target.
No projection needed." Celebration keeps the warm tone.
Edge value:
- `celebration.body` was "You hit your $X target." When the user
marks a goal complete at sub-100% (a flow the new
`confirm_complete_body_short` already warns about), this lied
about the achievement. Rewrite to "Goal closed at %{saved} of
%{target}. Keep it as a record, or archive it now." Interpolation
now passes both `saved` and `target` from the show template, so
the celebration card honors the actual saved amount whether the
user hit, overshot, or stopped short.
Notes deferred (verify-only, not string changes):
- `goal_card.footer_catch_up` is interpolated with
`catch_up_delta_money` in `CardComponent#footer_line`; the show-
page guard `.amount.positive?` already lives there. No copy
change needed.
- `pending_pledge.title.zero` bucket fires only when `count: 0`
reaches the I18n call; `GoalPledge#days_left` clamps at 0, so
the friendlier "expires today" copy is reachable.
- `paused_banner.title` / `inactive.heading_paused` duplicate
strings noted but left in place; consolidation is a separate
refactor.
