 - [ ] **R6 · /moodboard search box** — currently filters by type only (designs/colors/materials). Add a text search that matches against pin labels + reasons. Persist across reloads via localStorage.
 - [ ] **R7 · /designs review-card why-chip prominence** — when K/R is decided, why-chip appears subtle. Bump font weight + add a 1-line "tap to open chat" hover hint. Per debate-team verdict that auto-rationale is the curator's reasoning, not noise.
 - [ ] **R8 · `/age-themes` mobile layout** — at <640px viewport, the 3-column current/best/rationale grid stacks awkwardly. Test at 390×844, fix grid-template-columns + font-size scaling.
-- [ ] **R9 · Wallco footer + about page consistency** — `/about` and `/` (storefront) shouldn't show "AI-generated" anywhere per `feedback_never_expose_ai_software`. Audit and scrub if any leak.
+- [x] **R9 · AI-language scrub** — 2026-05-12 00:42 · 9 public-facing leaks scrubbed in server.js: schema.org names + meta descriptions on /, /designs, /design/:id, /murals, /samples + shopify tagList. Replaced with "wallco.ai original" / "hand-curated through our proprietary design system" / "never repeated". Admin /age-themes banner kept "AI-generated starting point" per validation-loop honesty rule (admin-only audience). Front-page + /designs meta verified clean live.
