Fixes raised in Slack by Ian Woodgate.

  • CC is not private: CC balances and transaction history are publicly visible via the scan service. Corrected this across four pages that incorrectly claimed CC balances are private: canton-vs-web3.mdx, m4-canton-coin.mdx, canton-coin.mdx, canton-coin-tokenomics.mdx
  • Pre-approvals: The description and diagram were backwards. Pre-approvals are created by the receiver to allow a sender to deliver tokens without requiring per-transfer acceptance. Fixed description and mermaid diagram in canton-vs-web3.mdx
  • Validator wording: "a specific validator" → "one or more validators" in canton-vs-web3.mdx

- **Governance** -- Super Validators stake CC to participate in synchronizer governance

Unlike most blockchain tokens, CC balances are private. Only you and explicitly entitled parties can see your holdings. There is no public ledger of balances or transfers.
CC balances and transaction history are publicly visible through the network's scan service. Private application contract data on Canton is visible only to entitled parties, but CC does not have this privacy property.
