Store copy priority fixes

  2. [feature_communication] Expand the crafting section to explicitly explain progression: 'Unlock new carving techniques and jewelry designs as you level your lapidary skills, unlocking higher-value items and new customer types.'
  3. [audience_targeting] Add a line specifying playtime, complexity level, or session structure: e.g., 'Perfect for 15-30 minute sessions or relaxed long-play sessions—play at your own pace with no time pressure or combat.'
  4. [uniqueness] Articulate why this rock-focused experience stands apart: e.g., 'The only shop game where geology is the core—discover real mineral varieties, learn authentic lapidary techniques, and cater to a community obsessed with stones.'
