S2 (a1): compliance + approval pack

- /responsible-gambling rebuilt sincerely: 21+, 1-800-GAMBLER primary,
  17-state resource list, warning signs, self-exclusion guidance, links
  to the existing /settings surfaces. No marketing adjacency.
- /terms + /privacy honest drafts with entity placeholders ([ENTITY NAME],
  [STATE OF FORMATION], [ARBITRATION VENUE], [CONTACT EMAIL]); privacy
  sub-processors match reality (adds Sentry, honest PostHog description).
- NEW /methodology: pipeline -> engine -> letter grades, refusals,
  VYNDR Originals, ledger settle + CLV + n>=20, why misses are public.
- /about audited to North Star framing (THE PROOF card, methodology link).
- Footer: 1-800-GAMBLER + Methodology link; compliance audit found zero
  pages suppressing the global footer.
- 5 Ghost seed articles in content/articles/ + docs/GHOST-PUBLISHING.md
  manual runbook (no Ghost access used).
- tests/unit/compliancePages.test.js (repo source-text style). 2429 tests
  green, web build exit 0.

-          VYNDR is prop intelligence — a proprietary terminal that reads the context the books hide.
-          Beyond the box score: form, matchup, usage, rest, the cascade when a star sits. Then a single
-          grade, earned across 40+ factors, that tells you whether the number is worth taking.
+          VYNDR is a sports data intelligence platform. The free layer is the complete picture —
+          schedule, stats, game logs, streaks with the context they were built against, line
+          comparison across books — always populated, always interpreted. The paid layer is the
+          read: a letter grade earned across the model&apos;s full feature pipeline, archetypes,
+          correlation-aware parlays, and closing-line intelligence.
