Follow-up from the #149 closeout review · Rules: docs/DESIGN.md § Text vs. icons, § Titles & naming
DECIDED 2026-07-31 (Scott): the masthead nav label "About" becomes
"How this works" — confirming the companion left optional in
docs/UI_POLISH_ROUND5.md M71.
Outcome
The primary path to the methodology carries its strongest scent: the masthead
on every page reads "Endorsements · Sources · How this works". With the
footer's methodology entry now icon-only (ⓘ, #166), the masthead text path is
the one DESIGN.md's icon rule leans on — it should say what the page does,
not "About".
Scope
- Rename the nav label in the shared band (
site_band_html, shell.py) on
every page; aria-current behavior unchanged.
- The footer ⓘ keeps
aria-label/title "How this works" (already does).
- Keep the About page's
<title> page-name as "About" (bookmark/search
familiarity; the M60 grammar governs structure, not this label) — revisit
only if it feels off in the tab.
- Page h1 ("About this guide, and how to check our work") unchanged.
- Update the
docs/UI_POLISH_ROUND5.md M71 entry (optional companion →
decided) in the same PR, per the DESIGN.md change protocol.
Non-goals
Footer icon cluster, About page content, URL (/about/ stays).
