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 from dollar-cost attribution — reattribute to CartSnitch analysis of 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. Correct retailer list. Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
