## The brief

Copy this text as it is, or change the specifics to match your own case, then file it as a task.

Copy this and file it as a task

Copy brief

```
The label on one screen says the wrong thing. It reads correctly everywhere else the same concept shows up, so this looks like one string that got left behind after a rename. Find every place that still shows the old wording and update it to match the current name, without touching the parts of the UI that already say the right thing.
```

## Why this works

It is bounded to one wrong string with a known correct answer: the wording everywhere else already shows it. An agent can grep for the stale text and confirm every hit is fixed, and a reviewer can check the same short diff by eye.

How it runs

## Plan, code, review, merge, verify

1. plan Finds the exact string that renders the wrong label and searches the codebase for every other place it appears.
2. code Updates the stale string at its source and re-checks every call site that reads it.
3. review Confirms no other screen relied on the old wording on purpose, and that the diff touches only the string in question.
4. merge Opens a pull request that touches only the one label.
5. verify Confirms the screen now shows the correct label and no other screen changed.

## What you need on hand

- The screen where the wrong label shows
- The correct wording, taken from where it already appears right
- A person to confirm no other stale copy shares the same source string

## Done when

- The screen shows the corrected label
- No other screen's wording changed
- A search for the old string returns nothing left over

## Proof, not a promise

No real task in examples.ts matches this brief's exact shape yet. What's real is the mechanism: an agent traces a wrong label to its source string, finds every other place that string renders, and fixes it in one bounded diff a person can read in full.
