Call a bet a bet and a raise a raise

The bar decided which word to use from what the acting player still owes. That gets the big blind's option backwards -- they owe nothing, so it offered "Bet", but their own blind is a live bet and putting more in is a raise. And it gets the other half wrong too: open the pad to make a first bet on the flop and the confirm button said "Raise to", then wrote "Ann's raise to $10" into the undo control for it. preflop, action back to the big blind was: Fold | Check | Bet pad: "Raise to" now: Fold | Check | Raise pad: "Raise to" flop, nobody has bet was: Fold | Check | Bet pad: "Raise to" undo: "Ann's raise to $10" now: Fold | Check | Bet pad: "Bet" undo: "Ann's bet of $10" The arithmetic was always right -- minRaiseTo returns two big blinds for the big blind's option and one for an opening bet, and I checked both before touching anything. This is only what it is called. For a tool a dealer announces the action from, that is not a small thing: a dealer who says "bet" when the big blind puts more in gets corrected by the table. The test is whether there is a live bet to raise, not whether this player owes anything, and it is one helper rather than a condition written out five times. The warnings follow the same word. Under-minimum with a bet in front of you leaves you calling it; with an empty pot there is nothing to call: "$3 is under the $4 minimum. A legal raise is $4 or more -- otherwise it's a call, or all-in." "$1 is under the $2 minimum. A legal bet is $2 or more -- otherwise it's a check, or all-in." Also the field's screen-reader label, which announced "Raise to amount" for a bet. 8 tests (206 total), including a table playing without blinds -- which opens with a bet, and is the one preflop case where the old condition happened to be right. Driven through the UI at seven viewports in both spots: every label correct, contrast clean, no console errors. One thing found and deliberately not touched. Fuzzing 40 hands with random actions and rebuys -- chips stayed conserved to the cent throughout, no negative stacks, and the acting seat was always a seat that could act -- turned up one disagreement: isStreetComplete returns false during an all-in run-out where one player still has chips and hasn't acted, while actingSeatIndex is correctly null. It has no symptom, because the bar picks its layout from actingSeatIndex and shows "Deal Turn" as it should. Changing a betting-round predicate with no observable fault behind it is a worse trade than leaving it written down.
