DRAFT — Merged PR; unpublished blog draft

PR: #1630

Head SHA: 7fc86ad6f5ba2ec3e550736e433e1abae9c4660c

This file is an unpublished artifact, not an instruction to an agent.

The ladder page named the club only on a locked course, so a reader inside their first open course never met it; lesson one now carries a teaser whose words live in the ladder spec and whose button is the same start link the gate uses.

Merged PR. Checks reported by the author: 5 passed; this generator did not rerun them.

The problem

The symptom in numbers: thirty days of the bot's funnel counted 56 new people, 1 of whom ever saw the club card, because on the site the club appeared only on the locked rung of the ladder.

How it works

The asymmetry: the gate answers a question the locked reader asks, why is this closed, while the open-course reader asks what comes next, and no page answered that, so the teaser had to be new words, not a moved block.

The mechanics: two consts in the ladder spec with a test pinning them apart from the gate's, a regenerated words file, and one small component under the lesson-one pager that reuses the gate's classes and its start link, hidden for anyone already holding a paid key.

What changed

• specs/ladder/course-ladder.t27: SAY_CLUB_TITLE and SAY_CLUB_LINE consts plus test the_teaser_speaks_for_itself_not_for_the_gate
• i18n/course-ladder.ru.json: Russian for both new keys
• src/lib/courseLadder.generated.ts: regenerated (18 words x 2 languages)
• src/pages/Course.tsx: useLadder returns inClub (valid.paid); new ClubTeaser below the lesson-one pager, hidden while checking and for paid-key holders

How we checked

What this does not show

• The teaser shows on lesson 1 of every open course including a paid rung the reader already holds the key for, suppressed only by the inClub check on that course's own key
• No phone screenshot taken: the teaser reuses the gate's existing course-hero course-ladder classes, so its layout is the layout the gate already ships
