fix(i18n): pt-BR native-fluency polish (brand gender rule, Pix, terminology)

[abalinda]

Native-speaker polish pass over src/i18n/app/messages/pt-BR.json (the localization that shipped with native app 1.0.36+). Copy-only — no keys added or removed, no code changes. All 39 i18n tests pass (key parity + ICU syntax).

Peanut brand gender rule

Peanut is gender-neutral where grammar allows, feminine where an article/contraction is unavoidable. The file mixed all three genders; now:

• Subject position → no article: "Peanut está em beta!", "Peanut é só por convite", "Peanut não armazena nenhum dos seus documentos", "Peanut usa o Pix na taxa atual de mercado"
• Forced contraction → feminine: "Taxa da Peanut" (was do in 6 places, da in 2), "Patrocinada pela Peanut" (was pelo in 6 places), "Entre na Peanut", "app da Peanut", "Contatos da Peanut", "receber dinheiro pela Peanut"
• Verb + brand → bare: "usou Peanut", "seus amigos usam Peanut" (was a mix of o Peanut / a Peanut)
• Masculine stays only where it agrees with a masculine noun, not the brand: "cartão Peanut", "seu cartão Peanut"

Official spellings

• PIX → Pix everywhere (Banco Central's official casing, used by Nubank/Wise/Mercado Pago): "Pagar com Pix", "Chave Pix", "Pix Automático"
• MercadoPago → Mercado Pago (official brand spacing)
• lowercase "carteira peanut" / "Peanut wallet" → "carteira Peanut" / "Peanut Wallet"

One term per concept (was 2–3 competing translations)

Concept	Was	Now
badges	emblemas / selos / badges	selos
US routing number	Número de routing / Routing Number / Número de roteamento	Routing number (Wise keeps it in English in PT-BR — help article)
pot contributors	Contribuintes / Contribuidores	Contribuidores ("contribuinte" = taxpayer)
card PIN	pin / Pin / PIN	PIN
liveness check	verificação de vivacidade	prova de vida (the standard BR term — banks, gov.br)
limit reset	redefinido / renovado	renovado
rate quote	melhor taxa / cotação	cotação
auto-balance (recovery page)	auto-balance	recarga automática (matches fixSignature section)

Naturalness fixes (selection)

• errors.minimumSendAmount: "0.0001" → "0,0001" (decimal comma)
• withdraw.bankForm: "Seu CEP" → "Seu código postal" (form is for foreign bank accounts; CEP is Brazil-only)
• card.yourCard.payAsCreditBody: "roda na rede de crédito" → "funciona na função crédito" (what maquininhas actually say)
• card.rejection.title: "hoje a porta está apertada." → "a porta tá difícil hoje." (club-door metaphor, EN "the door's tight tonight")
• settings.deleteAccount.doneDescription: "Obrigado por abrir o Peanut com a gente" → "Obrigado por ter feito parte da Peanut" (EN pun "cracking open Peanut" doesn't survive literally)
• claim.errors.missingInviter: "falta quem convidou" → "não identificamos quem convidou você"
• rewards.friendsEarnedYou: "Seus amigos fizeram você ganhar" → "Seus amigos já te renderam"
• global.betaBanner: "usuário inicial" → "um dos primeiros usuários"
• global.balanceWarningModal: "você é o único que pode acessar" → "só você pode acessar" (tighter + not gendered)
• withdraw.confirm.recipientReceivesInfo: "taxa de rede entre redes" → "taxa de ponte entre redes" (matches the very next row's label)
• iOS-facing strings: "tela inicial" → "tela de início" (Apple's PT-BR term); Android/general strings keep "tela inicial"
• exchangeRate.widget.arrivesHours: "Deve chegar em horas." → "Deve chegar em poucas horas."
• e-mail spelling normalized to "e-mail" (3 stragglers)

Notes for reviewer

• Based on mobile-release (it's a superset of the copy in Localization (en / es-419 / pt-BR) + zero ESLint errors #2447). If Localization (en / es-419 / pt-BR) + zero ESLint errors #2447 merges to dev separately, these fixes should be mirrored there — the file diverged (mobile-release has card.fixSignature, onListBodyNoPosition).
• ES (es-419) not touched — this pass was PT-BR only.
• Draft on purpose: needs a native PT-BR speaker's eyes before merge, especially the bare-brand choices ("usou Peanut", "Baixe a Peanut").
