RULE 5.4 / §6155 BUNDLE FIX — removed \"Counsel & Bar listing — premium\n tier · INCLUDED\" line from $499 order summary (was implying directory\n placement is something you pay $499 for). Replaced with explicit\n disclaimer: \"This is a site-build service, NOT a directory placement\n fee.

BUILD AGREEMENT inline disclosure under CTA (no dead /terms link):\n \"By continuing you agree to the Build Agreement: seven-business-day\n typical go-live from content intake, 14-day revision window from\n first proof, first-year hosting included, full refund any time\n before first proof.

LRS-FLAVOR REMOVED — \"the standard the directory deserves\" implied the\n directory judges attorneys → \"the standard your firm deserves.\"\n\n5.

Pattern\nmirrors /find-a-lawyer/thanks: Volume strip + italic-metal display + Listing №\nreceipt + 3-cell path forward + brushed-metal CTA + trust block.\n\nShared portal layout CSS gained: .signup-vol/v-rule/v-text/v-meta,\n.signup-display/-lede, .receipt/-row + .r-label/-val, .thanks-next/-step/\n-grid/-cell/-num/-link, .public-trust/.t-eyebrow, .cta-metal — all duplicated\nfrom leads.ts so /dashboard, /login, and welcome share the masthead pattern.\n\nRouting: POST /signup with no explicit ?next= now redirects to /signup/welcome\ninstead of straight to /dashboard. Existing ?next= deep-links honored.\n\nDebate-team-fast critique applied immediately:\n1. COMPLIANCE — masthead changed \"Listing Claimed\" → \"Listing on File\"\n (registrar voice, quieter §6155 posture). Added micro-disclaimer ABOVE\n headline: \"Counsel & Bar is a directory, NOT a lawyer referral service\"\n (Rule 7.x conspicuousness rule — disclaimer ≥ firm-name claim).\n2. COPY — \"shows up where consumers look\" → \"listed alongside other\n California-licensed attorneys in proximity-ranked search results.\"\n3. OVERSTATEMENTS REMOVED:\n - Cell i: dropped \"we cross-check within 24 hours and tag Bar-verified\"\n (promised non-existent worker) → \"calbar.ca.gov remains authoritative\"\n - Cell ii: dropped \"profiles with bios surface above otherwise-equal\n cards\" (fabricated Rule 7.x ranking-stat) → \"every field rendered as\n you wrote it. We don't edit, embellish, or rank by paid tier.\"\n - Cell iii: dropped \"Nothing curated\" (literally false — we do rank +\n audit-grade) → \"rendered straight from the State Bar record\"\n4.

Firm size chip — band (\"solo\"/\"small\"/\"medium\"/\"large\") via sizeChip(),\n falls back to \"N attorneys\" when band is null.\n\n3. Verify-on-State-Bar micro-link — direct query into apps.calbar.ca.gov\n licensee search w/ firm name pre-filled. Dotted underline → solid\n champagne on hover.
