Brings the live Streamlit app in line with the finalized layout-review mockups (structural/low-risk changes; verified by compile + registry sanity, still pending a streamlit-run visual check): - tools_registry: Data Cleaners now in pipeline order (Clean Text -> Standardize -> Fix Missing -> Find Duplicates); new "finance" section (Reconcile, PDF to CSV) and "coming_soon" section (Find Unusual, Quality Check, Combine Files). Adds those to the Section type + SECTION_LABELS. - app.py: Home becomes the "Start here" front door — a standalone, unlabeled top entry (play_circle icon) ahead of the hidden Activate/Logs/Close pages; nav groups reordered cleaners -> transformations -> automations -> finance -> coming soon. - _legacy.py: render_tool_header now shows the "Runs 100% locally" privacy pill (right-aligned, Ready tools only — omitted on Coming Soon stubs); accent emphasis CSS for the Start-here nav link. - i18n: add nav.start_here_title, nav.section_finance, nav.section_coming_soon to en + es packs. - DECISIONS.md: log the PDF/Reconcile in-bundle (Finance group) call.

Product & architecture decisions
A running log of decisions that aren't obvious from the code and would otherwise be re-litigated. Newest first.
2026-06-08 — PDF to CSV and Reconcile stay in the bundle, under a "Finance" group
Decision: 10_pdf_extractor (PDF to CSV) and 11_reconciler (Reconcile
Two Files) remain part of the DataTools suite. In the sidebar they are
segregated into their own Finance section, distinct from the
file-cleaning tools.
Context / why this needed deciding:
- Both tools sit outside the documented 9-script cleaning architecture (TECHNICAL.md / USER-GUIDE.md stop at the orchestrator).
- They occupy the "reconciliation / manual data-entry" territory the product's honest-positioning note explicitly placed outside a file-cleaning tool's scope.
- A journey-level UX review flagged that every extra tool in the main sidebar raises the "which tool do I need?" load for a non-technical buyer, so tools serving a different job should live in a clearly different place.
Resolution: Keep them in-bundle (they're built, useful, and ship today) but group them under "Finance" so the cleaning flow stays uncluttered. Revisit only if a separate finance-focused product emerges.
Implications:
tools_registry.py: Reconcile + PDF to CSV carry afinancesection.- Sidebar order: Start here → Data Cleaners → Transformations → Automations → Finance → Coming soon.
- This is the source-of-truth realization of the
layout-review/mockups (seelayout-review/shell.js).
