Review fixes: reword flags, gender cross-check vs Czech mod, catch 12 more leaks

- Reword per review: "an eye or four" -> Maj oko, aj štyri; fishing rhyme 1567
  -> ...návnadička (keeps rhyme + "bait is wrong").
- Gender: cross-checked every gendered self-reference against shippy/
  outer-wilds-czech. Only 3 disagreements file-wide -> Arkose (feminine),
  Porphy (feminine), and the hide-and-seek kid at 1627 (feminine) corrected;
  Filix kept feminine (EN "her note" beats Czech's masculine). All other
  Hearthians confirmed masculine.
- Definitive leak detection: quote-normalized suffix-of-key test caught 12 more
  untranslated values the heuristics missed (curly/straight-quote drift) -
  duplicate Eye-shrine walls (1167-1170), Nomai locator, traveler arrival,
  hide-and-seek + ghost-matter kid lines. Now 0 English leaks in the flat list.
- Consistency: "The Good Stuff" standardized to Tá Dobrota.
- glossary.md + review-notes.md updated with the gender findings. Build OK.

## 3. Gender guesses to verify against the game
## 3. Gender — cross-checked against the Czech mod ✅
Outer Wilds uses **they/them for all Hearthians**, so gender is textually
unspecified. Slovak past tense forces a gender, so the first pass **defaulted to
masculine** for everyone not otherwise cued. Verify in-game whether any of these
are canonically female (would flip verbs/adjectives):
Outer Wilds uses **they/them for all Hearthians**; Slovak forces a gender, so the
first pass **defaulted masculine**. We then cross-checked every gendered
self-reference against `shippy/outer-wilds-czech` (Czech is also grammatically
gendered) — only **3** disagreements surfaced across the whole file, now resolved:
- **Village kids & villagers:** Marl, Tephra, Galena, Rutile, Tuff, Spinel,
Arkose, Gneiss, Porphy, Mica, Moraine, Tektite.
- **Travelers:** Gabbro, Riebeck, Feldspar, Chert, Esker — all **masculine** by
the glossary default.
- **Ground crew:** Hornfels, Hal, Gossan, Slate — **masculine** (Hornfels & Hal
confirmed masculine in existing SK).
- **Locked female (from EN pronoun cues):** Solanum, Poke, Clary, Ramie, Pye,
Filix, Melorae, Privet. **Locked male:** Annona, Coleus, Avens, Plume, Idaea.
- **Arkose** (ghost-matter kid) → **corrected to feminine** (*Slyšela jsem*).
- **Porphy** (sap-wine maker) → **corrected to feminine** (*dolila dávku*).
- **Filix** — Czech has her masculine, but English says *"her note"*, so she
**stays feminine** (English canon wins).
- Also flipped the **hide-and-seek kid** at idx 1627 to feminine (*Chtěla
jsem… otravná*).
If the community/game establishes a canonical gender for any Hearthian, update
the glossary §5b table and re-pass that speaker's lines.
**Confirmed masculine** (Czech agrees): Chert, Esker, Gabbro, Riebeck, Feldspar,
Gneiss, Marl, Mica, Spinel, Tektite, Tuff, Hornfels, Hal, Gossan, Slate.
**Undetermined** (no gendered self-reference either side; left masculine): Galena,
Rutile, Tephra, Moraine — worth a glance in-game but low-risk.
**Locked female (EN cues):** Solanum, Poke, Clary, Ramie, Pye, Filix, Melorae,
Privet. **Locked male:** Annona, Coleus, Avens, Plume, Idaea.
