Subject: [PATCH] US English in the library's visible copy, at the source
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The palettes, style boards, type pairings, element catalog and demos are
rendered by superherotech.ai (/elements/, /styles/, /colours/, /type/), the
portal's brand guide and the console's client page. They were written in UK
English, and the site patched some of it per page with a local usText().
Fixing it here ends that helper and lets the portal and console re-adopt
US copy by hash.

Spelling: color, flavor, gray, center, labeled, honor, neighbor, somber,
jewelry, tire, karat, advisor, glamor, inquiries. Vocabulary, where the UK
word misleads a US reader: row house, childcare and preschool, real estate
agents, vacation rentals, accounting, toy stores, bookstores, scallions,
mashed potatoes, homey (a US "homely" means plain).

Unchanged on purpose: every identifier and data key (the board's `colour`
field, type's `licence`/`licenceUrl`/LICENCE, the `--inc-centre-bg` custom
property a client's CSS sets, `aria-labelledby`), code comments, and café.

New body hashes printed by the checks (portal and console re-adopt these):
