fix(store,audit,workspace): usertest low-findings tail (0.72.1)

- Store hero: 'TODAY' badge only for an operator-accepted story; the
  rotating compiled-in fallback deck now says 'FEATURED' (no false
  freshness claim). Policy as a top-level function with unit tests.
- Audit filter chips: standard label typography instead of mono —
  mono stays reserved for paths and identifiers.
- DE chain wording: 'Hash-Kette geprüft' as the one confirmation term
  (audit header now matches the doctor pill); 'intakt' stays the
  state headline. EN was already consistent.
- Workspace switcher: contrast bump for the sealed-area 'stopped'
  label.

 ## Unreleased
 
+### Changed (usertest low-findings tail)
+
+- **Honest hero badge.** The store hero wears "TODAY"/"HEUTE" only
+  for an operator-accepted story; the compiled-in fallback deck has
+  no date binding and now says "FEATURED"/"EMPFOHLEN".
+- **Audit filter chips in UI type.** The Alle/Flow/Schritt/Modul
+  chips drop the monospace styling — mono stays reserved for paths
+  and identifiers.
+- **One verb for the chain check (DE).** "Hash-Kette geprüft" is the
+  confirmation everywhere (audit header, doctor pill); "intakt"
+  remains the state headline. English was already consistent.
+- **Readable sealed-area status.** The "stopped" label in the
+  workspace switcher gets a modest contrast bump.
+
 ### Changed (usertest panel 2026-07-17, 14 personas — all confirmed findings)
 
 - **Install trust gate.** One confirmation dialog before every module
