jcoffey-dev 3f4b33cb51 Finish extraction: 100%, and a coverage number worth believing
The 143 the codemod refused turned out to be two different things, and only
one of them needed a person.

A third were phrases sitting next to an icon -- `<Plus /> New rule`. The
refusal rule was "has siblings", which is broader than the danger: what breaks
a translation is a sibling that renders *text*, splitting a sentence into
fragments no one can reorder. An element beside a phrase does not. Narrowing
the rule to text-producing siblings let the codemod take 73 more.

The rest were real sentences with values in the middle, rebuilt by hand as
named placeholders -- "Your active script “{name}” was written by hand",
"Waiting on the server — goes out {when}." Named rather than positional
because a translator moves the parts around; counted things go through
plural() so Russian and Ukrainian get their three forms rather than English's
two.

Sentences with an element inside them needed something new. `Open <code>mailto:
</code> links in ihasmail` has two obvious treatments and both are wrong:
splitting it into two t() calls hands over fragments that cannot be reordered,
and dropping the <code> keeps the sentence whole but loses the monospace that
said "this is a literal". tNode() keeps the sentence whole and makes the
element a named hole in it, so a translator sees one sentence and can put the
hole where their language wants it. The German test asserts exactly that: the
same call renders the code first when the catalogue says so.

The coverage number was also lying, and it is worth saying how. It counted
text inside <code> and inside translate="no" as untranslated work, and
placeholders like "123456" and "+1 555 0100" -- a one-time code and a phone
format. None of those will ever be translated, so the report sat at 21 with 6
real items left. A number with an unreachable floor is something to argue with
rather than act on, so the tool now applies the same rules the codemod does.

596 wrapped, nothing remaining. Verified in the browser across 15 views, which
is where the last bulk pass hid a bug the tests could not see: no entities, no
unfilled placeholders, no raw t( in rendered text, and the toggle switches that
looked like emptied labels are text-free by design.

jcoffey-dev 8ea611f7f7 Extract 515 strings by codemod, and the two bugs only a screenshot caught
Wrapping ~1,000 strings by hand is a thousand chances to mistype the copy
itself, and a parser does not get bored. scripts/i18n-extract.mjs does the
mechanical part -- JSX text and the attributes a person actually reads -- and
refuses the rest rather than guessing. 78% now: 515 wrapped, 143 left.

What it refuses matters as much as what it does. Text split around an
interpolation arrives as separate fragments, and wrapping each on its own
produces "Move " and " messages", which no translator can do anything with;
those are listed for a person to rebuild as sentences. So is anything
containing a double quote, which would end the literal.

Three things it had to be taught, each found by running it:

- <code>, <kbd> and <pre> are not prose. The first run wrapped `label:name`
  inside <code> -- a search operator, where translating it breaks the thing it
  documents. Subtrees marked translate="no" are skipped for the same reason.
- `t` is a natural name for a callback parameter and several files already use
  it, so an import called `t` is shadowed inside those callbacks -- silently,
  wherever the local happens to be callable. The name is checked per file now
  and aliased to `translate` where it is taken.
- JSX decodes HTML entities and a JS string literal does not, so
  `Language &amp; region` moved into t("...") and rendered the entity on screen.

That last one is the one worth remembering. Typecheck passed, 443 tests
passed, and the page said "Language &amp; region" in plain sight. It took
looking at a screenshot, and then a sweep of ten views to find the second
occurrence in a sentence I had written by hand earlier the same day. Nothing
in the toolchain was ever going to catch it: it is valid TypeScript rendering
valid text that happens to be wrong.

The codemod decodes entities now, and checks for a quote after decoding rather
than before.

jcoffey-dev be1d787b5f Defend against Chrome rewriting the DOM, and add the language setting
Groundwork for un-shelving translations. Chrome's translator rewrites the
rendered DOM directly, wrapping text nodes in <font> elements React has never
heard of, and the next update can then call removeChild against a parent whose
children have moved (facebook/react#11538). This is the structural defence
against that, plus the setting the served language will read from.

The language setting is `uiLanguage`, and it is deliberately not the `locale`
field that already exists. That one is a formatting choice -- what calendar,
clock and numerals to use -- and folding the two together would silently
rewrite everybody's date format the first time they picked a language. German
dates with an English interface is a real preference, and so is the reverse.
It defaults to English when absent, which covers both a new account and every
settings file written before this, and Accept-Language is not consulted: a
served locale should be something the reader chose rather than something
guessed and then written down as though they had. Only languages with strings
shipped are offered, which today means English alone -- a picker entry without
a catalogue behind it would leave the page claiming a language it is not in,
which stops a reader translating a page they cannot read.

`<html lang>` is set where applyTheme is set: at store module load, from the
localStorage cache, before createRoot() has rendered anything. Not in an
effect -- a lang that is briefly wrong is enough to raise the translate prompt
on a page that needed none. There is no server-rendered alternative to reach
for here: ihasmail serves a static shell and holds no account state, and the
settings file lives in the reader's own JMAP Files, so reading it before the
page existed would mean authenticating to Stalwart on every page load. The
static lang="en" in index.html covers the first bytes; the store only ever
corrects a reader who chose otherwise. Both halves are tested.

translate="no" and class="notranslate" go on the narrow boundaries only:
rendered email bodies, raw message source, attachment text, the generated and
hand-edited Sieve, the brand and the login name. Not on <body> -- someone
whose language ihasmail does not speak yet should still be able to translate
the parts that are ours. Email bodies turn out to live in a shadow root, so
React never reconciles them and they were never a crash risk; the marker there
is about not rewriting what a sender actually wrote.

Twenty-four fragile interpolation points were found with the TypeScript
parser rather than grep, and fifteen refactored. Pluralisation and
"count + label" pairs are collapsed into a single expression so the text is a
lone child React updates with textContent, rather than a text node with
conditional siblings to insert around. One of them -- InviteCard's
{method === "REPLY" && organizer ? "" : ""} -- rendered an empty string either
way and is simply gone.

The boundary is scoped to the main content, so the header, folder tree and any
open composer sit outside it and survive independently. It recovers by
remounting the subtree, which costs nothing because everything inside
re-derives from the stores, and it logs at info rather than error: a reader
translating a page is expected and recovered from, and filing it as an error
would put an entry in every console-reading reporter for behaviour that
worked. It re-raises anything that is not a DOM mutation error, so a real bug
still surfaces as one, and it gives up after three attempts rather than
looping invisibly.

Worth recording: the crash could not be reproduced on React 19.2.8. Wrapping
207-249 React-managed text nodes in <font>, exactly as the translator does,
then driving in-place conditional toggles and navigations, left the app intact
with the boundary never firing. The original issue is from React 16 and the
reconciler has changed a great deal since. So this lands as defence whose
premise is weaker than assumed rather than as a fix for something observed
here, and the boundary is insurance rather than a load-bearing part. The
notranslate markers and the collapsed interpolations stand on their own merits
either way.

jcoffey-dev dd8998f178 Calendar: edit and delete a single occurrence
Closes #132.

Stalwart 0.16.20 accepts a synthetic id on `CalendarEvent/set`, writing a
`recurrenceOverrides` entry rather than touching the series, so editing
one date of a recurring event is now something the server does and this
does too.

Editing asks the scope *before* the form opens, because it decides which
event the form is even about: a form populated from the master shows the
series' start date, so editing Wednesday's standup would have offered to
move Monday's. Deleting asks in place of the old confirm.

The patch is narrowed rather than posted hopefully. 0.16.20 sorts
per-occurrence properties into three groups and only one is honest: ten
are refused with `invalidProperties`, twelve more are dropped from the
patch while the response still reports success, and the rest are applied.
That silent middle group is how #26 reached a live server - a successful
response is not evidence anything was written - so `occurrencePatch`
throws on the first group, reports the second to the caller, and the
editor leaves out the five it always sends. A patch that would be
entirely dropped is not sent at all.

The refusal for an occurrence of a this-and-future change offers the
series instead of a bare error toast. Nothing here writes one of those,
but an event synced from another client can carry one.

Two things the scope prompt cost, both worth knowing. A dialog is queued
in a store the moment it is asked for, so it outlives the effect that
asked: without a ref guard a remount queues a second prompt the first
answer cannot retract. And gating the *answer* on the effect's cleanup
flag is worse - StrictMode runs mount, cleanup, mount, so the flag is
already set by the time anyone clicks and the editor never opens.

The mock expands recurrences for the first time, which is what makes any
of this developable. It hands out synthetic ids for everything including
one-offs, gives occurrences a `recurrenceId` and no rule, and reproduces
the refusals - including the silent drops, since a mock that applied them
would let a client that sends them look correct everywhere but a real
server.

jcoffey-dev 373822c2ae Resolve the base event id in the calendar store, not at the call sites
Closes #133.

`updateEvent`, `destroyEvent` and `rsvp` took an id and sent it. The
`baseEventId ?? id` that made them hit the series lived at four call
sites instead, and every one of them happened to be right.

That was backstopped by the server until now. Through 0.16.19 a synthetic
id reaching `destroy` came back as "Deleting synthetic ids is not yet
supported" and the user saw a toast. 0.16.20 accepts it and removes one
date instead, reporting success under a dialog that said "Delete all
occurrences?" - so a forgotten `??` became silent data loss rather than
an error.

The three methods now take the event and a required `scope`, and there is
exactly one place that turns an event into an id. A caller that wants the
series cannot get an occurrence by forgetting anything; a caller that
wants one occurrence has to say so.

`rsvp` takes the event rather than an id for the same reason, and no
longer looks it up: its patch is `participants/{key}/participationStatus`,
which is one of the pointers 0.16.20 *allows* on an occurrence, so aimed
at an instance it would quietly mean "only that day".

`findByUid` says in a comment that its query omits `expandRecurrences` on
purpose, since InviteCard hands the result straight to `destroyEvent`.

jcoffey-dev c1ef19849e Say it in the words Stalwart 0.16 answers to
Guests added to an event vanished on save and no invitation was ever
sent. Not a guard in the editor, and nothing the server complained
about: ihasmail addresses a participant the way RFC 8984 does, with
sendTo and email, and Stalwart 0.16 keeps that address under
calendarAddress. Handed the RFC's spelling it stores the event, drops
the entire participant map, and reports success. Six shapes were tried
against a live 0.16.19, down to sendTo and roles alone; all six were
dropped, and patching a participant onto an existing event fails
outright with "Patch operation failed".

The same disagreement runs through two more properties. The organizer is
organizerCalendarAddress, not replyTo. A recurrence is a single
recurrenceRule, not a recurrenceRules array — and that one Stalwart
refuses honestly, with invalidProperties, so no recurring event could be
created at all and existing ones showed no repeat.

So writes now use Stalwart's names and reads accept either, since a
mailbox may hold events written by other clients. The mock now refuses
what the real server refuses and drops what it drops: advertising the
RFC spelling is exactly how this reached a live server unnoticed, the
same way the capability-placement bug did.

Verified against 0.16.19: participants, organizer and rule all survive a
create, an update and a re-read, with the roles kept as sent.

jcoffey-dev 8b22ea9aab Stop calling every event a series
A one-time event opened for editing said "this is a recurring event —
changes apply to the whole series", and deleting one offered to delete
all occurrences of an event that has exactly one.

Three places asked whether an event had a baseEventId and took that for
recurrence. It isn't: the calendar loads its range with expandRecurrences,
and Stalwart puts a baseEventId on everything it returns that way, a
one-off pointing at itself included. The mock never sets the field at
all, which is why this only showed up against a real server.

They now share isRecurring(), which asks about recurrence rules, and
treats a base that is some other event as an occurrence of a series too
— so an expanded instance that travels without its rules is still
described honestly on the way to being deleted.

Fixes #25
