`stages_text` on a need gives each stage plain words in the plan's language. The fallback mails, the road line and the desk buttons use them, and needs.yaml carries them as `stage_words` so the desk score describes an outcome the way the site would. The vel's plan has them; its desks score 26 of 26 where the id-based outcome scored 24. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
