exorcise: B12a prose-heavy templates (dashboards + pages A-I) Sweep 17 prose-heavy templates: dashboards/{dashboard-delete-account, dashboard-export,dashboard-import,dashboard-user}.html and pages/{account-deleted,blog_post,cart,changelog,confirm_delete, creators,doc,email_result,error,fan_plus,forgot_password,index, item}.html. Edits: em-dashes and ASCII `--` separators in user-visible prose replaced with `:` or `;`; `data-loading-text="Redirecting to Stripe…"` ellipsis swapped for ASCII `...`. Most files in this batch were already clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
