Two defects on the path that decides what language the app starts in.
**A change made before the settings file came back was thrown away.**
`queueSettingsPush` returned early while unarmed, dropping the value
instead of holding it, so a language picked in the second or so after a
page load was never written up: it survived until the next reload and no
further. That is a better account of "sometimes it takes several clicks"
than the remount race fixed in #160 — the click that stuck was one made
after the read had finished. Keeping it is safe because hydrate already
refuses to overwrite a key that is still queued.
Proof it was real: before this, no `ihasmail` folder was ever created in
the account's files, because the seed write never fired. After it, the
folder appears.
**Without a cached settings object the tree painted too early.** The
cache is not read on an untrusted device, and it is cleared by the
sign-out that every deploy causes, so in both cases the first frame is
the defaults — and the defaults are English. Anything computed in that
window is computed in the wrong language. The interface recovers, since
it is rebuilt when the catalogue lands, but a string emitted once does
not: this is why the stale-folder toast came out in English on an
otherwise German screen.
So without a cache the authenticated tree now waits for the account's
settings and their catalogue, which costs nothing — there was nothing
worth painting yet. With a cache it does not wait, and the first frame is
as quick as it was.
Neither fix makes the toast German yet: the account settings file is
neither written nor read successfully in the mock, and both failures are
swallowed. That is a third problem, and this commit does not touch it.
