Fix content issues flagged by CEO and QA (PR #42 review)

Critical fixes:
- stores.md: Correct supported retailers to Meijer, Kroger, Target.
  Remove Safeway (never scoped). Replace named Coming Soon list with
  generic demand-based evaluation language.
- privacy.md: Replace all OAuth/API claims with accurate language
  describing read-only headless browser access to loyalty portals.
- about.md: Remove "price gouging on our roadmap" claim.
  Clarify USDA FoodData Central is reference data only, not a source
  of price data.
- blog/price-gouging-vs-shrinkflation.md: Remove roadmap claim.
  Remove implication that price gouging detection is coming.
- methodology.md: Fix cereal example math — 16.2% → 16.1%.
  Use raw values per the stated formula. Clarify USDA FoodData
  Central role for package sizing baselines only.
- how-it-works.md: Correct retailers. Remove "(yet)" from receipt
  claim. Clarify USDA FoodData Central is reference data.

Important fixes:
- press-kit.md: Correct supported stores. Remove USDA FoodData Central

  manufacturer packaging data.
- app-store-listing.md: Remove "thousands of products" claims
  (pre-launch beta, quantity unverified).
- social/launch-day-posts.md: Remove "thousands of products" claim.

## The Data
Our shrinkflation rankings and unit price calculations are based on publicly available manufacturer packaging data and USDA FoodData Central. As we grow, we'll publish our methodology so anyone can verify our numbers.
Our shrinkflation rankings and unit price calculations are based on publicly available manufacturer packaging data. USDA FoodData Central provides reference data for package sizing baselines. As we grow, we'll publish our methodology so anyone can verify our numbers.
Production data will refine and validate our estimates. We will always note when statistics are directional versus based on real transaction data.
