Subject: [PATCH] Warm up first-screen proof script and headline for
 non-AI-native users
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- proofScriptFor: use plain language when no source artifact is present
  (no 'Scattermind' name-dropping for raw paste users). Source-aware
  script is preserved when artifact context exists.
- firstScreen.headline: 'One thing now: [title]' replaces 'Build only
  this first: [title]' — simpler declarative for tired users.
- proof script fallback now includes a 'what happens next' sentence
  so the user knows evidence changes the decision.
- Updated check-rank-feedback.mjs headline assertion to match.
