Part 03's closing line read nicht die zahlende Hälfte von etwas Freiem. zahlend is the present participle of zahlen, so it says the half that pays, where the English says "not the paid half of a free thing" — the half you pay for. It now reads nicht die kostenpflichtige Hälfte von etwas Freiem, the pricing sense; bezahlte was the other candidate and says settled rather than chargeable.

The translator role found this while writing the German for the server in part 03, and reported it instead of fixing it: the English it had been given had not changed, and the same phrase sits in a second repository, so a correction smuggled into that dispatch would have moved one copy and left the other. The sibling is companygraph/companygraph.github.io#150, on the billing page, which went first because it is the page a buyer reads to learn what costs money.

The ideas card's stamp moves although its image is byte-identical: og-recipe.mjs hashes what went into the card and a data-de value is an input, even where the English render does not change. The sitemap needed nothing, being already dated today. The two talk cards re-rendered to different bytes with no stamp change and are left as they were.

Verified: og:check, sitemap:check, design:check, pages:check, pin:check, model:check, test:build, test:og, test:dupes, verify against a local server and sh conventions/conventions-check all pass.

Part 03's closing line read `nicht die zahlende Hälfte von etwas Freiem`, which
says the half that pays rather than the half you pay for. The English is "not
the paid half of a free thing", so the German now reads `kostenpflichtige`.

The same phrase on companygraph.io's billing page moves in the sibling change;
the translator found it there while writing this part's German and reported it
rather than correcting English it had not been given.

The ideas card's stamp moves although its image is byte-identical, because the
recipe hashes the German too. The sitemap is already dated today.

Verified: `og:check`, `sitemap:check`, `design:check`, `pages:check`,
`pin:check`, `model:check`, `test:build`, `test:og`, `test:dupes`, `verify`
against a local server and `sh conventions/conventions-check` all pass.
