fix(courses): the club teaser says the return is bot balance, not tokens

[gHashTag]

What

The club teaser said "Part of every payment returns to you as tokens". That reads as a crypto token next to $TRI; FACTS.md section 6 says $TRI is not sold and is earned only by verified work. The return is the bot balance for generations -- the words now say so (EN + RU).

Summary by t27-bees

Checked by the t27 compiler

_{t27c parse, parse-complete and typecheck on each changed .t27 file at 3971aba. Nothing was generated, built or run. A pass means the file is well formed, not that it is right.}

• apps/website/specs/ladder/course-ladder.t27: parses and typechecks.

Read by the model

The change replaces "returns to you as tokens" with "returns to your bot balance, to spend on generations in the bot" (EN) and the Russian equivalent, because the $TRI token is never sold and is earned only by verified work (FACTS.md §6). The spec now includes a comment pointing at that section.

Worth a look

• apps/website/specs/ladder/course-ladder.t27:47–50 — The new comment ties the wording to FACTS.md §6; if that section moves or is renumbered, the reference will drift.
• apps/website/specs/ladder/course-ladder.t27:51 — The phrase "to spend on generations in the bot" assumes the bot balance is only for generations; if the balance later covers other features, the text will be inaccurate.
• apps/website/i18n/course-ladder.ru.json:16 — Russian text mirrors the English change; same risk if bot balance scope expands.
• apps/website/src/lib/courseLadder.generated.ts:26, 77 — Regenerated artifact; any manual edit here would be lost on next regeneration.
