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.

HomerandClaude Opus 5 b7bf7d728b An admin area a phone could reach and not navigate
Administration has a nav of its own rather than the chat sidebar, and 1.1.0
gave every `.sidebar` the drawer behaviour -- starts closed, slides in --
without giving that one any of the drawer's furniture. No id for the toggle to
resolve, no toggle, no close, no scrim: it sat at left:-280 with nothing in the
application able to open it. The close button and the scrim are partials now,
used by both, and the test that guards it *finds* sidebars by scanning the
templates rather than working from a list, which is exactly why this one was
missed.

The chat, measured at 390px, spent forty pixels of side padding and a
forty-four pixel avatar column before drawing a word -- close to a quarter of
the screen on margin, so anything that could not wrap had to be reached
sideways. Padding halved and the avatar moved above the turn; a code block
gained about sixty pixels.

Worse in the same row: `.topbar__actions` asked for 317px of a 390px bar,
because the control that used to give in that row is display:none below a
tablet width, so the group went rigid and the title -- flex: 1 -- was squeezed
to exactly zero. And `.btn--icon` sets a width with no `flex: none`, so the row
shrank the button instead of the text: the sidebar toggle measured eighteen
pixels across. The picker gives now, and shows its avatar rather than its name
on a phone.

Also the instrument, which lied twice more: it could not see horizontal
overflow at all, because `.shell` is overflow:hidden and its "is this
contained" test therefore answered yes for everything on the page; and run from
a copy it resolved `STATIC` to a directory that did not exist, rewrote every
asset URL to a dead file:// path and reported the whole application overflowing
by thirty thousand pixels. It resolves from the imported package now and
asserts that what it rewrote to is really there.

HomerandClaude Opus 5 28390095a9 A phone, and how much of this could not be used on one
The sidebar was a 280px panel laid over the page below the phone breakpoint,
opened from first paint, with the only control that closed it underneath it --
and that control existed on /chat and on none of the seven other pages carrying
a sidebar, Settings included. It starts closed at that width now, slides, dims
the page behind it, and closes by tapping beside it, by Escape, or by its own
button, which is inside the drawer where it can be reached.

Everything a finger has to hit was 36px, or 28 for renaming a chat, every action
on a message and every panel's close button. Raising --control-h under a coarse
pointer is the only fix that reaches all forty of them, which is what that token
is for. The row and message actions were also hover-only, so on a phone they did
not exist at all.

Installing: the splash and the browser chrome follow the instance's theme rather
than always being Moria's near-black; there are screenshots, so the install
offer is a dialog rather than a one-line bar; a new release no longer takes over
a page somebody is reading; the notification badge is a silhouette rather than a
grey square; and a browser rotating its own subscription no longer ends
notifications for good.

Every request now says it is happening -- nothing did before, so anything slower
than a few milliseconds looked like a click that had not registered.

A chat can be archived. The column has been filtered on in four places since
folders arrived and written by nothing, which is what made it look built.

chat.css may contain media queries. The ban protected the composer toolbar from
being "fixed" with a breakpoint; that guarantee is asserted directly now, and
the old test would have passed a version of the file that wrapped the toolbar
without one.

scripts/shoot.py is the instrument all of this was found with: it renders a page
through TestClient into a real headless browser at a real size and refuses to
run if an asset URL was left pointing at testserver.
