revisit: Rewrote the "why this matters to you" hook.

Operator decision, 2026-08-19: whyItMatters.outcome is now the page's primary hook and every analysis was rewritten to a single short, concrete, human-stakes sentence (docs/EDITORIAL.md, Permanent standards #4) — replacing several that had grown into full paragraphs or abstract policy-thesis phrasing. (the 'why should I care' answer here is simple: these are people, not statistics. Picture building a life somewhere for years — a job, an apartment, kids in school — and then being told your legal right to stay is gone, and the place you're sent back to is a capital city where nine out of ten streets belong to armed gangs, not the government. That's not a hypothetical. It's the situation roughly 350,000 people are in right now. And if that's not you, it still reaches you eventually — a country in this kind of collapse doesn't stay contained inside its own borders. It pushes people toward every neighbour and every port that will still take them, the way every failed state eventually does. → 350,000 people just lost the one thing keeping them out of a capital that's 90% run by gangs.)
