v1.21.0
Connected Home v1

Community Bridge Reflection Refinement
Refine the Community bridge after clarifying the relationship between the free app and the paid Skool Community.
Updated the Community page headline to lead with: "Check in during the week. Reflect in the Community."
Reframed the hero copy around using Journey as the record of what actually happened before posting weekly Skool updates.
Updated relationship cards to describe the app as the place for daily check-ins, Journey, and Runner Card identity, with Skool as the deeper support space for reflection, themes, Walk-Run-Achieve, and support.
Updated supporting Community page copy so the check-in still comes first and the Community gives those check-ins somewhere human to land.
Documented the product architecture decision that the app should not replace Skool; it should act as the custom Runners Gateway top layer over Skool's deeper infrastructure.

Reframed Community calls to action around trying the Community free rather than simply opening it.
Tuned existing Community prompt copy on Home, Journey, Getting Started, and reset completion so prompts point to Community details without adding new placements.
Kept the app/community relationship clear: the app is for showing up; the Community is for going deeper.
