The Topbar rendered the English word "Renown", replacing the German
"Stufe" it showed before. That contradicted the slice's own global
constraint that all user-facing copy is German, and it was the single
English string in a component visible on every screen -- next to
"Silber", "Lebenspunkte" and "Charakterdaten werden geladen".
This was a spec defect, not an implementation one: the design doc and
the task brief both prescribed "Renown" literally. The document's
working language leaked into a copy-locked line.
"Ruf" is not available as the German term -- this project already uses
it for the separate per-faction Reputation system, and the two are
deliberately kept distinct. "Ansehen" (standing/prestige) is unclaimed
and matches the spec's own definition of Renown as the character's
overall significance in the world.
Records the decision as R17 in the design doc so later Renown UI does
not reintroduce the English term, and renames the now-inaccurate
top-bar__level class to top-bar__renown (nothing else referenced it).

Records every judgment call the spec left open — Renown/Reputation
data model, service signatures, migration strategy, combat reward
pipeline changes, and API/frontend surface — as an explicit, auditable
ruling with its cost if wrong, per instruction to implement this slice
without confirmation stops.
