How it works: explain Spending vs Savings for laymen
The one-paragraph section grows to three: the pocket-cash vs savings analogy, what actually runs Spending (Ark's shared pool locked to your key, plus Lightning interop) in plain words, and a rule of thumb for which balance money belongs in. Also fixes the stale housekeeping paragraph that still told users to refresh coins in Settings — that's automatic now. Stale translations of the two changed keys are pruned so locales fall back to the new English.
