The finding
The homepage <meta name="description"> is 207 characters. check-seo warns at 160.
It also differs from the brand core description token — and that difference looks deliberate, not accidental.
Why this is a decision, not a bug
Two ways to resolve it, and they are not equivalent:
- Shorten the homepage description to fit the threshold, leaving it distinct from the brand token.
- Align it with the brand core token, which is a brand-repo wording decision, not a
strings.json coverage gap.
The burn-down that found this explicitly declined to pick — it's a copy decision with an owner, and the tooling can't make it.
Not a strings.json issue
Worth stating plainly since it was found next to #40: this is not a string-extraction gap. The value resolves fine; it's the wording and length that are in question.
Provenance
Found by the 2026-09-03 Desk burn-down, which had no GitHub credentials and filed nothing itself.
