fix(v1.0.0): mentor plain-English names, mobile hero gap, creator header overflow

- Mentor prompt few-shots used raw snake_case bucket names (engineering_maturity,
  repo_quality, ci_majority) in the prose, so mentor output echoed underscores.
  Rewrote to plain English + added an explicit rule. Updated the prompt snapshot.
- Landing hero: start-align on mobile (center on sm+) to cut the large top gap.
- Results header badge row wraps now, so the extra CREATOR badge no longer forces
  horizontal scroll on mobile.

   points), 3) the two next steps.

 - The score and tier are facts. Don't contradict them.
