+summary: The Command Center SDLC funnel now labels the intake stage "Planning", matching the renamed board column.
+category: fix
+dev: commandCenter.funnel.stage.triage, enteredInRange, and completionRateAria English strings (and SdlcFunnel.tsx t() fallbacks) changed to "Planning"/"Entered planning"/"in-range planning entrants"; dashboard locale copy re-synced. Aggregator stage key "triage" and the i18n key names are unchanged.
