copy: remove em-dashes from first-party app copy#157
Merged
Conversation
Replace em-dashes (—) with commas, periods, colons, or parentheses across user-facing copy: JSX text, toasts, labels, placeholders, aria-labels, and WebZero-authored content (program descriptions + the Denver content). House style: no em-dashes in our own copy. Left untouched: code/CSS comments, builder-written project descriptions (mockWinners, PitchOff submissions), numeric en-dash ranges, and the bare "—" empty-value placeholder glyph in admin tables.

Summary
House-style sweep: removes em-dashes (
—) from first-party, user-facing copy, replacing each with a comma, period, colon, or parentheses (occasionally a light reword). 18 files, 35 swaps.Covers: JSX text, toast messages, labels, placeholders, aria-labels, and WebZero-authored content (program descriptions + the Denver event content).
Deliberately left untouched (per scope)
//,/* */) and CSS comments (index.css) — not app copy.mockWinners.ts,src/data/synergy-2025.json, and the PitchOff submission descriptions inmockPrograms.ts(builders' own words; these mirror real Supabase data). I reverted these after the initial sweep touched them.3–4 products) — those are–, not—.—empty-value placeholder glyph in admin tables / LCD stats (a "no data" indicator, not prose).Notes
