From the onboarding-wow-burst spec (docs/specs/onboarding-wow-burst.md, ADR-028). One lever from the original brief was not built because it's a UI/copy change with no backend dependency:

Present the burst as "summaries of a few of your videos to get you started — the rest fill in over the coming days," so "only a few" reads as an intentional taster, not a failure.

This matters for the Stage-0 return gate: a new user seeing 3 summaries + a sparse feed should read it as deliberate onboarding, not a broken product. The honest sparse-state surface (ADR-020) is adjacent but does not frame the burst specifically.

Scope: copy/UI only — the connected-but-sparse feed state and/or the just-connected flash. No engine change. Pairs naturally with a future UI pass.
