[Feedback Work Item] Align README and UI naming for tracker ("launch tracker" vs "delivery tracker")

[github-actions]

Problem Statement

The README and product UI use different names for the same feature: docs call it "launch tracker" while the UI calls it "delivery tracker". This naming mismatch causes brief confusion for new users and reduces perceived polish.

User Impact

Who: New users and documentation readers following setup instructions.
How often: Occasional (observed in at least one Discord report).
Severity: Low — causes short-lived confusion ("confused for like 30 seconds").

PM Interpretation

The PM (user chrizbo) ran /create-work-item to convert this triaged feedback into a work item. No additional written rationale was provided by the PM in comments; rely on the triage note which suggested a low-priority, docs/ops fix (P3, Weak Fit to strategy).

Customer Terminology

• "launch tracker" — as used in README (customer quote preserved, identity redacted)
• "delivery tracker" — as shown in the UI

Non-Goals

• This work item does not attempt to change broader product naming conventions or marketing copy beyond the README/UI text for this feature. It does not pick a canonical name without a PM/product decision.

Acceptance Criteria

• A short, recorded decision exists choosing the canonical term (either "launch tracker" or "delivery tracker").
• The chosen term is used consistently in the README and in the UI text that currently shows the other term.
• The original feedback issue (#319) is linked from the implementation PR or commit message and left open as evidence.

Product Constraints

• Strategy tradeoff to consider: #3 (Transparency by default) — prefer clarity and discoverability even if the change is small.

Source Evidence

• Feedback: #319 — README says "launch tracker" but UI says "delivery tracker" (Discord message captured in the issue; identity redacted).

Test / Verification Notes

• Confirm the README and the UI both show the chosen term in the same wording.
• Confirm a PM comment or PR description documents the chosen canonical term and why it was chosen.
• Verify the implementation references issue #319 in the PR/commit.

Open Questions

• Which term should be canonical: "launch tracker" or "delivery tracker"? (PM/product decision required.)
• If the team prefers one term for docs and another for UI for historical reasons, should we instead add a parenthetical note in the README to reduce confusion?
