HomerandClaude Opus 5 a16510aba8 The interface speaks Slovak
969 strings, an instance default and a per-person choice, and no half-done corner:
the admin prose is translated too. Design and reasoning: LLeMbas.wiki/Translations.

KEYED BY THE ENGLISH SENTENCE

A missing entry renders the key, which is the English -- so an untranslated string
looks as it always did, an English instance is byte-for-byte 1.6.0, and a
half-finished catalogue is a half-translated page rather than a page of dotted key
names. The cost is that editing an English sentence orphans its translation
silently, which is what tests/test_translations.py asserts in both directions.

No gettext: .po -> .mo is a build step and this project does not have one.

A JINJA GLOBAL, AND THEREFORE A CONTEXTVAR

`t()` is a global for the reason `brand` already documents -- render() is bypassed
by 25 TemplateResponse calls and 8 get_template().render() calls, the latter being
the SSE frames, which have no Request at all. A global is bound once at import and
the language is per person, so the active language is a ContextVar set per request.

🚨 `get_current_user` had to become `async def`. FastAPI runs a sync dependency in a
threadpool, and anyio copies the context in and discards it on the way out -- so
the language was set where nothing could see it and every page rendered in the
instance's language whatever anybody had chosen, with no error anywhere.

NOT TRANSLATED, ON PURPOSE

Everything a model reads: the 60 prompt fragments, and the dates in harness.py,
schedule/runner.py and schedule/compile.py. Only `i18n.stamp` is localised, and
only where a person reads it -- with the *format* translatable as well as the
words, because "26. septembra 2026" is a different pattern rather than the same one
with different words in it. A process locale is not an option: global, not
thread-safe, two people's pages at once.

A second fragment telling models to answer in the reader's language was written
during this work and removed: `core.style` has said it since long before, and
test_an_empty_override_turns_a_fragment_off caught the duplicate.

THE BULK PASS

1213 sites wrapped by a one-off script that only touched patterns it could not
misread. It got three wrong in a way that mattered -- `t('…')` inside `attr="…"`
where the sentence held an apostrophe, closing the Jinja string and 500ing two
pages whose partials no test renders. tests/test_translations.py now compiles all
110 templates. It also wrapped the product's own name, an SSH key header, a
keystroke hint and an example URL, all taken back out: a string is not
translatable just because it is a string.

Jaroslav BenešandClaude Opus 5 20040f53a8 Three things that said one thing and did another
All three shipped in the last two commits, and all three are the same kind of
mistake: an interface that looks right and is not.

The folder settings page could not be scrolled. `.main` is a flex column with
`min-height: 0`, so a `.page` dropped straight into it overflows the viewport
with nothing to scroll -- Save and Back end up below the bottom of the window,
reachable by zooming out or by dragging the prompt textarea up out of the way.
Every other page of this shape already wraps its content in `.admin-scroll`;
this one did not. The two class names that scroll are one rule in admin.css
precisely so this is a wrapper somebody forgot rather than a value they got
wrong, and now it is noted.

The project directory was a text box, on the one screen that asks for an
absolute path on another machine. It is the same button-and-hidden-field the
new-chat screen uses, wired by `[data-dir-field]` in ui.js -- scoped to that
attribute so this and the composer's own handler cannot both answer one click
and open two dialogs. The composer keeps its own because it does more: it
follows the selected profile's default directory until somebody picks their
own, which only means something while a chat is being created. With no
connection chosen it says so rather than opening onto nothing, and Clear is
always there, because browsing somewhere and changing your mind before saving
needs a way back to "no opinion" as much as clearing a saved one does.

And "New chat" did not follow the Chat/Agent switch. The button sits above the
scroll area rather than inside the tree the switch swaps, so it went on saying
"New chat" over a list of agent chats. It moves to its own partial and arrives
out of band, the way the chat title already does. Renaming it to something
neutral would have hidden the bug rather than fixed it, and would have cost the
`?kind=agent` preselection the label is there to explain.

The tests that existed asserted a page load, which re-renders the button
anyway -- which is exactly why nobody saw it. The new ones assert the fragment.
The directory field was driven under a DOM stub first.
