Translate the pull request destination and GitHub sign-in by ryanwelcher · Pull Request #643 · WordPress/contributor-toolkit

ryanwelcher · 2026-10-06T17:44:12Z

Why

The Open a pull request card, its GitHub sign-in, and the errors main sends it were plain English in a translated window. This is the #625 batch of #622, which needed the catalog in main from #634.

What changes

The card (pull-request-destination.jsx) wraps every string. Sentences with a link or code in them use createInterpolateElement, with logins, branches and repository names passed in as elements so they are never read as markup. The failure messages are a function instead of a module-level constant.
Per-project text in project-type.cjs (cards.*) is getters, read when the card renders. Main's refusal with nothing linked used to splice the work item's label into a sentence; it is now cards.prNeedsWorkItem, one sentence per project type.
Main process: the sign-in errors in github-auth.cjs and the pull request errors in github-pr.cjs are wrapped, including the step labels passed to failure(), which the issue did not list. The "Trunk has moved" message uses _n, and a GitHub failure is composed with %1$s: %2$s%3$s so a translator can change the punctuation. GitHub's own reason and the bracketed diagnostic for GitHub support stay as they are.

Not wrapped, per #622: the pull request body and the default pull request title, because they leave the app.

How to test this

The new journeys cover the card in the pseudo-locale on both projects. Run them from the repository root on either platform:

npx playwright test --project=journeys tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js -g "pull request card"

Both fail without this change. The Core journey walks every state #625 lists: signed out, "Not now" and "Show this again", the device code, signed in with the form and its fold, a rate-limited failure, a dry run, and a pull request opened from a checkout behind trunk. The Gutenberg one walks signed out, signed in with the fold open, and the opened pull request, checking the words that are Gutenberg's own.

What the journeys cannot reach is a real GitHub. They stub every github:* handler, so the main-process errors never reach the screen in them. Unit tests in github-auth, github-pr and pr-stage cover those strings in the pseudo-locale instead. To see one on screen by hand (either platform, current head):

From the repository root, run npx electron . --lang=en-XA.
Open a Core site with a linked ticket and an edit, and click Review & submit changes.
In Open a pull request, click Sign in with GitHub and finish in the browser.
- Expected: every line of the card is accented and in brackets, apart from your login, your fork's name, the code and the branch.

What must not have happened: no English an English speaker sees has changed. The English journeys in open-pull-request.spec.js, review-changes.spec.js and pr-checkout.spec.js still pass with their exact strings.

Risks and limitations

The other open batches (Translate the setup checklist and the trunk update banners #636, Translate ticket and branch notices and input errors #644, Translate patch and pull request apply failures #645, Translate the Terminal and Logs output #646) also append tests to the end of i18n.spec.js, so whichever merges later resolves that by keeping both.
One finding is deferred: prFailureMessage decides between five user-facing strings inside a .jsx file the suite cannot load. It predates this PR (it was the old constant map), so moving it to a .cjs module with a test is a follow-up.

Not stacked on Translate the Review & submit dialog #635. Wrap the rest of the app's strings for translation #622 asks for batches that review on their own. Now that Translate the Review & submit dialog #635 has merged, its unwrapped() scanner change and the @wordpress/element dependency, which this PR also needed, come from trunk.
The textarea placeholder is three strings joined with a newline. A single __() with \n in it is refused by @wordpress/i18n-no-collapsible-whitespace.
"Signed in as …" is wrapped in its own <span>, so the sentence and the Sign out button beside it are separate elements, as in Translate the Review & submit dialog #635.

Review outcome (required — see AGENTS.md)

2 [fix here] · 1 [follow-up]. Both [fix here] findings are fixed; the follow-up is deferred (see Risks).

🟡 The Gutenberg journey linked no issue, so it never showed the form, the fold or the loop-back. Fixed: it links one in the record and walks those states.
🔵 No test showed the main-process strings or the stage labels come out translated. Fixed: pseudo-locale unit tests for the scope refusal, a composed failure(), the plural stale message and prStageLabel.
Style: three dead entries in the journey's THEIRS filter were removed.
Review: completed. Fresh agent context, head 11ef362 / base c34aa45. npm run lint clean, npm test 2002 pass / 0 fail, i18n and PR journeys 25 pass.
Since review: 11ef362 → ef457fd. The only change is the test fixes above, checked by the authoring session, not re-reviewed by a fresh context. src and tests lint clean, unit suite 2005 pass / 0 fail, i18n journeys 12 pass. The review did not run the journeys itself; it was read-only.
After Translate the Review & submit dialog #635 merged: ef457fd → 9559a1f (trunk merged from GitHub) → 012fca8 (trunk at e94f507 merged; i18n.spec.js resolved as trunk's file plus this PR's two tests, nothing else changed). Checked by the authoring session, not re-reviewed: src and tests lint clean, unit suite 2036 pass / 0 fail, i18n, open-pull-request, review-changes and pr-checkout journeys 31 pass.

Screenshots or recording

None. Nothing changes on screen in English, and the pseudo-locale journeys are the check for the translated state.

Wraps the Open a pull request card, its sign-in, the stage labels, the per-project card text and the GitHub errors main sends it. The card text in project-type.cjs becomes getters, and main's refusal with nothing linked is one sentence per project type. Adds @wordpress/element for createInterpolateElement, and a pseudo-locale journey for each state of the card on Core and Gutenberg.

…s in the pseudo-locale The Gutenberg journey had no issue linked, so it never showed the form, the fold or the loop-back. It now links one in the record and walks signed out, signed in with the fold open, and the opened pull request. Unit tests pin the stage labels, the scope refusal, a composed GitHub failure and the plural stale message in the pseudo-locale.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull-request flow now uses WordPress i18n helpers for GitHub authentication and pull-request messages, project-specific guidance, stage labels, and interface text. The changes add interpolation and singular/plural formatting while preserving the described outcomes and control flow. Unit tests and end-to-end journeys check pseudo-localized text across pull-request states.

…nothing opens (#649) ## Why The follow-up of #642: the two windows the app makes besides its own were white under the dark theme. One of them turned out not to exist for anyone. ## What changes **The Trac window is made in the app's theme.** It is the window Trac's proof-of-work check runs in, shown when the check needs a click, and it is now made in the colour of the theme the app is in, so its frame is not white where Trac's page does not paint. Trac's own page is Trac's and stays as Trac draws it. **The patch window is gone.** It had no caller: the review dialog replaced it in the window, and only the preload bridge and the smoke's list of the bridge still named it; the git history shows no renderer ever called it. A window nobody opens cannot be the wrong colour, so it is removed with its channel and its bridge entry, and the review standard's window invariant names the two windows that exist, the main one and Trac's. **Not in this pull request:** a dark Trac page; mail rendering is unchanged here and tracked separately. ## How to test this Platforms: any; the Trac window needs the network. From the repository root, after `npm ci`: ``` node --test tests/unit/trac-view.test.cjs tests/unit/ipc-wiring.test.cjs ``` - `trac-view.test.cjs`: the Trac window is made in the dark colour under the dark theme and the light colour under the light one; the test is red on trunk, where the window is made with no colour. - `ipc-wiring.test.cjs`: every handler main registers is still one the suite names, with `git:create-patch` gone from both. - The packaged smoke holds the bridge to its list, with `createPatchWindow` gone from both. This change has no journey of its own: no journey opens the Trac window, since it needs Trac's check, and the patch window is removed, not changed. **Worth a look by hand** (any platform, the current head, with the network): set the theme to **Dark** in Settings → General, link a Trac ticket and press **Show Trac attachments** on a ticket whose check Trac escalates to the "I am human" checkbox, so the window appears: its frame is dark around Trac's page. On a ticket whose check clears by itself the window never shows, as before. **What must not have happened:** anything in the window offering a patch in a window of its own (nothing did before either); the Trac window failing to show when the check needs a click; the attachment list not arriving. **What I could not test:** the escalated check by hand, which Trac decides; I could not make it ask for the click. ## Risks and limitations - Review: 2 passes, 2 findings fixed here, every style note applied, none left. Details below. - The bridge loses a function (`createPatchWindow`) nothing called; a fork of the renderer that did call it would find it gone. - A pre-existing journey, the Gutenberg pull request card in `i18n.spec.js` from #643, passes in the full suite only on a retry and fails when run alone, on trunk as here. Not touched here. ## Related Follow-up of #642, part of #560 and #542. --- <details> <summary>Review outcome (required — see AGENTS.md)</summary> **Pass 1: 2 [fix here] · 0 [follow-up] · 3 style notes.

All applied here.** - **Review:** completed — a separate agent context, read-only; head `1d0673d` / base `dca4bde`; the claim that nothing opens the patch window checked against the renderer, the docs, the menu, the deep-link path and the git history (no renderer ever called it); the module loader of the Trac window's tests; the coverage guard of the wiring suite; ESLint and the two unit files run; 2 [fix here]. - Fixed: the review standard's window invariant and three comments named the patch window. - Style notes, applied: the Trac window's comment overstated when its colour shows; the new test slept through the poll; the save-patch test's name implied a comparison it did not make. - **Review:** completed — a second separate agent context, read-only; head `99efecf` / base `dca4bde`; the zero deadline traced through `openAndScrape`, the renamed test against what it reads, the standard's sentence against the two windows that exist; ESLint and the two unit files run; 1 [fix here], wording. - Fixed: the save-patch test's name said "first read" of a read the handler makes second. - Style notes, applied: the stand-in window's variable still called it a patch; a deadline "already passed" that is a deadline of now. - **Since review:** `99efecf → 5131c7c` is that wording, in the two unit files only. On `1d0673d`: `npm run lint`, `npm test`, `npm run test:electron`, all 124 journeys and the packaged smoke pass; on `99efecf`: `npm run test:electron` (2038); on the head: `npm run lint` and the two unit files. </details> <details> <summary>Implementation notes</summary> - `src/trac-view.js`: `backgroundColor` from `windowBackground(nativeTheme.shouldUseDarkColors)`. - `src/main.js`: `buildPatchHtml` and `git:create-patch` removed. `src/preload.js`: `createPatchWindow` removed. `tests/e2e/packaged/smoke.spec.js`, `tests/unit/ipc-wiring.test.cjs`: their lists. - `tests/unit/trac-view.test.cjs`: the colour under each theme. - `.github/instructions/code-review.instructions.md`: the window invariant names the main and the Trac window. </details> <details> <summary>Screenshots or recording</summary> Not attached: the Trac window shows only when Trac escalates its check, which I could not make it do. </details> 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Why The setup checklist and the trunk update's cards and banners were still plain English in a translated app. This is the #626 batch of #622. ## What changes - **Wrapped:** the setup checklist, the trunk update card, the question an update asks over edits, the banners for an old trunk and an incomplete update, the "Up to date with trunk" notice, and the sentences they take from `setup-steps.cjs`, `update-plan.cjs`, `next-action.cjs` and `project-type.cjs`'s `setup` copy. Also the dirty-tree dialog's errors in `use-trunk-update.jsx` and the alert in `use-dev-server.jsx`. - **Translated when shown, not at load:** `update-plan.cjs`'s messages and step labels were module-level constants and are now functions (`SKIP_INSTALL_MESSAGE` became `skipInstallMessage()`, and so on); `project-type.cjs`'s `setup.*` are getters, like `description` already was. - **Whole sentences instead of parts:** the step counters (`sprintf('step %1$d of %2$d')`), the file count and the day count (`_n`), "Next step: %s", and the update summary, which was three fragments and is now one of four sentences (`updateSummarySentence`). The link-ticket hint took the work item's label as a noun ("Link a %s…") and now takes its kind and has one sentence each, as #630 asks for. - Commands and paths (`npm install`, `npm run build`, `package.json`, `src/`) are passed in as `%s`. - Deliberately not here: the lines the app writes to the Terminal belong to #627, apart from the skip-install message, which #626 names because the update card shows it too. ## How to test this Covered by journeys in `tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js`, all red without this change. From the repository root: `npx playwright test --project=journeys tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js -g "checklist|trunk banners|did not finish"`. In the en-XA pseudo-locale they reach the checklist with steps done and ready, the checklist after a failed install, the old-trunk banner, the question an update asks over an edit (each answer chosen), the update card on its first step, and the banner after an update that did not finish, and fail on any visible English. To look at it by hand, on either platform, on the current head: run `npx electron . --lang=en-XA` from the repository root and open a site whose trunk is more than 14 days old. 1. **Expected:** the banner about the old trunk and its **Update to latest trunk** button are accented and in brackets. 2. Edit a file in the site and click that button. **Expected:** the dialog that asks what to do with the edit is bracketed throughout, apart from the file's path. **What must not have happened:** in English, the checklist, the cards and the banners read exactly as before. Not reached by a journey, and why: - The setup chain's "Setting this site up for you — step N of M" and "Setup stopped." notices: they only appear after a new site's clone, which a journey would have to fake end to end. - The "Up to date with trunk" notice: it needs an update to finish. Its sentences come from `updateSummarySentence`, which a unit test covers. - The alert about starting the server before the build: no control in the app can reach it (the checklist's button is disabled until the build is done, and the header and details only offer the server once the wizard is skipped). It is wrapped anyway. ## Risks and limitations - Review: 2 [fix here] · 0 [follow-up], both low, both fixed. - `tray.spec.js`'s "the tray's edge is moved with the arrow keys…" failed once in the full run. It fails about one run in five on `trunk` too, so it is not this branch. - The other open batches (#643, #644, #645, #646) also append tests to the end of `tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js`, so whichever merges later resolves that by keeping both. ## Related Fixes #626. Part of #622. --- <details> <summary>Design decisions and alternatives considered</summary> The dirty-tree answers' details carry their own leading dash ("— a .diff on your machine…"), with the space outside the string: punctuation is the translator's, and a string that starts with a space is easy to break. The link-ticket hint takes `workItemNoun` instead of `workItemLabel`, which removes one of the places #630 lists as splicing the label into a sentence. </details> <details> <summary>Review outcome (required, see AGENTS.md)</summary> - **Review:** completed. Reviewer: a separate agent context (Claude Code, read-only) against `.github/instructions/code-review.instructions.md`; head `1790e42` / base `8dbed36`. `npm run lint` clean, `npm test` 1954 pass / 0 fail, journeys 117 pass. Outcome: 2 [fix here] · 0 [follow-up], both 🔵. - Translatable-string rules [fix here]: the extractor gave the dirty-tree details' notes to their labels as well, and gave the dirty-tree errors' notes to the "Unknown error" fallback on the same line. **Fixed** in `4b925eb`: each note sits directly above its own string, and the fallback is on its own line. - Tests [fix here]: nothing would fail if the new `update-plan.cjs` message functions went back to English constants. **Fixed** in `4b925eb`: a unit test loads a catalog after the module is required. Checked by turning one back into a constant, which fails it. - Notes on wording, also fixed: a stale comment in `work-item.cjs`, and the translator example "2m 5s", which the app writes as "2m 05s". - It also confirmed the dev-server alert is unreachable from the UI. - **Since review:** `1790e42 → 4b925eb` checked; the change is the fixes above. Lint clean, `npm test` 1955 pass, journeys 116 pass and 1 known flaky (above) on the new head. - **After #635 merged:** `4b925eb → 7e0e1ad`, rebased onto trunk `e94f507`. Only `tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js` conflicted: resolved as trunk's file plus this PR's four tests, dropping this PR's copies of the imports and `MY_EDIT`, which trunk now has. #635 brought the identical `trunkDate` change to `git-site.cjs`, so it is no longer in this diff. Checked by the authoring session, not re-reviewed: build and lint clean, `npm test` 2035 pass / 0 fail / 2 skipped, the full journey suite 134 pass. </details> <details> <summary>Implementation notes</summary> - The renamed `update-plan.cjs` exports have no consumer left under their old names in `src`, `tests` or `docs`. - `main.js` reads `project-type.cjs` but never `setup`, so the getters change nothing there. </details> <details> <summary>Screenshots or recording</summary> Nothing changes in English.

## Why The Terminal and the Logs were plain English in a translated window: the terminal's help and refusals, every line the setup, update and apply chains write there, the build watch and dev server lines, the Logs' tabs and empty-pane notes, and main's own lines from the trunk update, the pull request switch, the npm runner and the server start. This is the #627 batch of #622. ## What changes - **Every line written to the Terminal or a Logs pane** goes through `__`/`_n`/`sprintf`, with commands, paths, keys and file names passed in as `%s`. Each line is one or more whole sentences, so the terminal can show a translated line on its own. - **Sentences that were spliced together are written whole.** The apply chain built "The ${noun} is ${verb}" and "${verb} — …" from five verb and noun pairs; it is now a table of whole sentences per pair (`applyLines` in `watch-activity.cjs`), the way `applyDoneMessage` in `confirmations.cjs` works. `applyFinishMessage` used to regex the English "— open the site to try it out." out of a line; the caller now passes the line without it. The switch progress (`switch-progress.cjs`), the setup's `Status: ${phase}`, main's `Update failed during ${stage}` and the npm "letting go" line each get one sentence per case. - **Inline markup** (the hints under the terminal, the empty Logs panes) uses `createInterpolateElement`, with `npm run build`, `help`, `Ctrl+C`, `package.json`, `src/`, `build/` and `error_log()` passed in as elements. - **The dev server's "see Help → Open App Log"** takes the menu item as `%s`, from the same `__('Open App Log')` the menu uses (left over from #634). - **Module-level constants became functions:** `COPY_BUTTON_LABELS`, `SETUP_END_MESSAGES` and the setup status line move from `index.jsx` to `confirmations.cjs` as `copyButtonLabel`, `setupEndMessage` and `setupStatusLine`, where the suite can reach them; `STALE_ASSETS` and main's `ENGINE_RETRY_NOTICE` become functions too. 110 new strings. Not wrapped, per #622 or because the text is not ours: Git's own progress phases (`Updating files 3/10`), npm's and the server's output, the stub `appendNpm` buffer nothing shows, the `42%` progress figure, and the lines owned by sibling batches (`SKIP_INSTALL_MESSAGE` and the dirty-tree errors are #626's in #636; the patch apply lines in main are #628's; the blocked-site errors are #629's). ## How to test this The new journeys cover both trays in the pseudo-locale. Run them from the repository root, on either platform: ``` npx playwright test --project=journeys tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js -g "Terminal is fully|Logs are fully" ``` Both fail without this change (checked by stashing `src/` and rebuilding). The Terminal journey opens the tray on a built site, reads the help printed at start, types `help` and an unknown command, joins the terminal's rows into whole lines and checks every printed line starts with `[`, then scans the hints under it. The Logs journey scans the empty Build watch and Debug.log panes, starts the dev server with stubbed handlers so the watch starts and the server refuses, and scans the server's failure line, the watch's start and exit lines and the tab titles as they change. What the journeys cannot reach: they stub IPC, so main's lines (trunk update, PR switch, npm runner, server start) never reach the screen in them, and neither do the apply, update and setup chains, which need a real install and build. Unit tests cover those in the pseudo-locale instead: `watch-activity`, `update-handoff`, `dev-server-command`, `switch-progress`, `confirmations`, `trunk-update-fetch.integration` and three in `ipc-wiring` (the server's start failure, the trunk update's failure lines and the engine retry notice). To see the chains on screen by hand (either platform, current head): 1. From the repository root, run `npx electron . --lang=en-XA`. 2. Open a built Core site, open the **Terminal** tray and type `help`. - Expected: every line except the `$` prompt is accented and in brackets, and the help's descriptions still start in one column. 3. Click **Update to latest trunk** (in its pseudo-localised form) and let it run. - Expected: the lines the app writes ("Fetching latest trunk…", "Now on trunk as of …", "Running npm run build…", "Update complete — …") are bracketed; Git's and npm's own output is not. **What must not have happened:** no English an English speaker sees has changed, apart from the one line break and the one plural named in Risks. All 132 journeys pass with their exact English strings, including `terminal.spec.js`, `tray.spec.js`, `logs.spec.js`, `build-watch.spec.js` and `dev-server.spec.js`. ## Risks and limitations - Two changes to the English, both forced by the rules: the help's last paragraph was one sentence broken over two lines with a `\n`, which a translated string cannot hold, so it is now two sentences on two lines ("…npm run build once." / "Run them here whenever…"); `LONGEST_HELP_LINE` in `terminal.spec.js` follows it. And the switch progress said "1 files"; with `_n` it says "1 file". - Merge conflicts with the other open batches: #643, #636 and the parallel #628 and #629 all append tests to the end of `i18n.spec.js` (#635 did too; this branch is rebased on it). #636 also adds `import { __ }` to `use-dev-server.jsx` and `sprintf` to `index.jsx`'s import, where this branch adds `sprintf` too; those lines will need a one-line resolution, whichever merges second. - Main's PR-switch lines and `npmLetGoLine` in `main.js` are covered only by `npm run i18n:pot` extracting them and lint checking their comments; the trunk update, server start and engine retry lines have `ipc-wiring` tests. - Still English in the terminal during an apply: the lines owned by #628 (main's "Applying …" and the `patch-apply.js` lines) and #626's `SKIP_INSTALL_MESSAGE` (in #636). They land with those batches. - The diff is about 870 lines, over the ~800 guideline. Most of it is the per-case sentence table and tests; it is one tray's worth of strings and did not split cleanly. - Review: 3 [fix here], all fixed; 3 [follow-up], deferred (see the review outcome). ## Related Fixes #627. Part of #622. Follows #634 and #635. --- <details> <summary>Design decisions and alternatives considered</summary> - **The help's columns.** Each help line is one string, `%s Show this help text`, with the command padded into `%s`, so every printed line opens with the translated string's bracket and the descriptions still line up after the command column. The alternative, a translated description after an untranslated command, would leave each line starting in English. - **The apply sentences as a table**, not a frame like "%1$s but the build failed": a translation cannot rely on "The patch is applied" fitting in front of "but". The two `Restored` lines share their English but have a `_x` context per noun, so a language with gendered participles can say them differently. - **"Start the build watch, or run %s in the Terminal."** is its own sentence after the one saying the site still runs the old assets, instead of being copied into ten strings. - **Setup status per phase:** main sends only `cloning` and `done`; each gets its own line and anything else says "Status update", where it used to print the code. - **`Debug.log` and `Debug.log (%d)`** are wrapped so a translator can name the tab in their language; the file name in sentences is left as is. </details> <details> <summary>Review outcome (required — see AGENTS.md)</summary> 3 [fix here] · 3 [follow-up]. All 3 [fix here] findings are fixed. - 🟡 `copyButtonLabel`, `setupStatusLine` and `setupEndMessage` were branches choosing user-facing sentences inside `index.jsx`, which the suite cannot load. Fixed: moved to `confirmations.cjs` with a test in English and in the pseudo-locale. - 🔵 `engineRetryNotice` was made a function so it is translated when shown, and nothing checked it. Fixed: an `ipc-wiring` test drives the engine retry in the pseudo-locale. - 🔵 The Terminal journey dropped any line starting with `[`, so translated text followed by English would pass. Fixed: each line must be one bracketed string from its first character to its last. - Follow-up: the apply flow in the terminal is still partly English (main's "Applying …" line, `patch-apply.js`, `SKIP_INSTALL_MESSAGE`). Those belong to #628 and #626 (#636), not this batch. - Follow-up: the five `compiling` sentences in `applyLines` repeat `compilingMessage()`'s text, on purpose, so each can be translated whole; the test now pins all five against `compilingMessage()`. - Follow-up: `npmLetGoLine` reads `process.platform`, so only one platform's branch runs in a test. The split was already inline before this branch; injecting the platform is a separate change. - One review note was checked and not taken: it said the renderer no longer imports `switch-progress.cjs`, but `index.jsx` still does, so that module's header comment stays. - **Review:** completed. Fresh agent context (Explore subagent given the diff and the review instructions), head `c7a1ba8` / base `9fd167e`. Lint clean, `npm test` passing, read-only, so it did not run the journeys. - **Since review:** `c7a1ba8 → 274bb2d`. The review fixes above, then a rebase onto trunk `e94f507` after #635 merged (only `i18n.spec.js` conflicted: both appended tests). Checked by the authoring session, not re-reviewed by a fresh context: `npm run lint` clean, `npm test` 2044 pass / 0 fail, all 132 journeys pass, `npm run i18n:pot` clean. - **After CI:** `274bb2d → 6179bd9`. The Terminal journey failed on CI's macOS runner: it waited for the help's first line, which on that window had scrolled out of the rows xterm draws, because pseudo-locale lines are longer and wrap. It now waits for the help's last line. Reproduced locally at 1024×640 (failed before, passes after).

## Why When a patch or a pull request will not go on, the apply card explains why: which files missed, how many of the changes, and what to do next. In any language but English that whole explanation is still English, and most of it was built by splicing words into sentences (`` `change${s}` ``, a `where` clause, `'includes' : 'include'`), so it could not be translated as it was. #628 is the batch of #622 that covers it. ## What changes - The failure breakdown (`apply-conflict.cjs`), the applied-patch notice and the preview's "whose work is this" sentences (`applied-layer.cjs`), and a pull request's preview, checkout notice and refusals (`pr-checkout.cjs`) are wrapped, along with the hook's own errors in `use-apply-patch.jsx`. - Main's side is wrapped too: the per-file refusals and the terminal lines in `patch-apply.js`, the parse errors in `patch-plan.cjs`, the pasted-URL errors in `patch-sources.cjs`, the Trac download error in `trac-view.js`, and the `git:apply-patch` and `git:preview-patch` handlers in `main.js`. - Spliced sentences are written whole: one string per case and per file count, `_n` on the count each sentence is about, numbered placeholders, and separate strings for an unnamed patch and for an issue against a ticket. About 127 strings in all. - `REASONS`/`REVERT_REASONS` and `DISPOSABLE_EXIT`/`SLOT_HELD` are now functions, so they are translated when shown. The applied notice's title is now one sentence with the patch's name inside it, not the name followed by the rest of the sentence. - English is unchanged. A throwaway script compared trunk's three renderer modules with this branch's across about 32,000 inputs and found the English output identical. ## How to test this The journey covers this: `the apply card is fully translatable when a patch or a pull request will not go on, and once a patch is applied` in `tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js`. Run it from the repository root (either platform) with `npx playwright test --project=journeys -g "will not go on"` after `npm run build:once`. It fails on trunk's `src/` (checked by reverting `src/` and rebuilding). It runs real patches through the real engine in the pseudo-locale and scans the preview of a patch that lands on the contributor's own edits, the failure notice when that patch does not fit, the refusal of a non-GitHub pull request URL, a pull request's preview (with `git:preview-pr` stubbed), and the notice once a patch is applied. What the journey cannot reach, and is covered in the unit suite in the pseudo-locale instead: - The pull-request framings of a failure (closed, stale, the contributor's own work in the file, a file the applied patch brought): they need a real pull request that fails against a real checkout. `tests/unit/apply-conflict.test.cjs` reads each one against the exact string it should choose. - Main's own sentences, which the window shows only when they are not replaced by a breakdown: `patch-apply.integration`, `patch-plan`, `patch-sources`, `trac-view` and `ipc-wiring` each check theirs. - A checked-out pull request's notice, whose headline belongs to another batch (#627). For a look by hand, either platform, current head: run `npx electron . --lang=en-XA` from the repository root, open a Core site, edit `src/wp-login.php`, then on **Apply a patch or PR** choose **Diff** and pick a `.diff` that changes the line you edited. 1. The preview says you have your own edits to `src/wp-login.php`, bracketed and accented. 2. Click **Apply and rebuild**. The card says how many of the patch's changes no longer fit, and lists the file. Every sentence is bracketed, apart from the path and the lines of code. 3. On **Pull request**, paste `https://gitlab.com/a/b/pull/1` and click **Apply PR**. The refusal is bracketed (with a full stop after the bracket, see Risks). **What must not have happened:** in English, nothing on the card reads differently from trunk. The English journeys for the card (`apply-card`, `pr-checkout`, `gutenberg-site`, `watch-during-changes`, `ticket-card`, `site-header`) still pass unchanged. ## Risks and limitations - Review: 1 [fix here] · 2 [follow-up]. The fix is in, and so are both follow-ups, since each was one line in a file this PR already touches (details below). - The card adds a full stop to an error that does not end in one (`applyFailureWords` in `apply-card.cjs`), so a translated refusal shows as `[…].` in the pseudo-locale, and a language whose sentences end in `。` gets `。.`. #630 removes that once main's errors carry their own punctuation. Adding it to main's sentences here would have changed the English, so the journey allows that one stop explicitly. - Left in English on purpose: the snapshot guards in `patch-apply.js` ("Path is outside the checkout" and two others), the missing-ticket guard in `trac-view.js` and `'Site is not registered'` in the apply handler. They are internal checks behind paths that Git, the scrape or the site registry already accepted, and a contributor should not be able to reach them. `prSubmissionRefusal` and `prSubmissionBlocked` in `pr-checkout.cjs` are #624's, wrapped by #635, which has merged. The verb and noun passed to `runApplyInstallAndBuild` (`'Restored'`, `'Checked out'`) are keys for `applyDoneMessage`, not text, and the terminal lines built from them are #627's. - Some sentences keep wording that reads oddly, because English must not change. When a patch has no name, one now says "changes from the patch you applied, which you applied". That case cannot happen today, since main always stores a label. - Merge conflicts: the other open batches (#643, #635, #636, and #627 and #629 in parallel) also append tests to the end of `tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js`. #635 adds the same `@wordpress/i18n` import to `pr-checkout.cjs`. Each is a one-line conflict. ## Related Fixes #628. Part of #622. --- <details> <summary>Design decisions and alternatives considered</summary> - **Two strings where a sentence names a file count as well as a change count.** `_n` takes one number. The plural follows the change count, as #628 asks, and the file count picks between a one-file and a many-file string. The alternative, a nested `_n` for "in %d files" spliced in, is the splice #622 rules out. - **Joined sentences.** The pull-request headlines that say "does not fit" and then name whose files failed are built from whole sentences joined with a space, not one string per combination. Each piece is a complete sentence, and four cases times two file counts would have meant sixteen near-duplicate strings for translators. - **`reverting: ''` for an unnamed patch.** `describeApplyFailure` used to get `'That patch'` as the label. Now it gets `''` and words the unnamed case as its own sentence, so "is this a revert" is read from the type of the option (`typeof reverting === 'string'`) rather than from the label being truthy. - **No scanner change.** Nothing in this batch puts an element inside a sentence, so the `unwrapped()` hunk from #643 is not needed here. The "Near %s" line is cut at the code by design, and the journey leaves its two pieces out by name. </details> <details> <summary>Review outcome (required — see AGENTS.md)</summary> - **Review:** completed. Reviewer: a fresh-context Explore subagent, given only the diff and `.github/instructions/code-review.instructions.md`.

Outcome: **1 [fix here] · 2 [follow-up]**. Security, performance and cross-platform: no findings. - 🟡 [fix here], architecture: `patch-apply.js` put `__('writing %s')` around the app's own translated fragments (`git apply exited %s`, `could not verify %1$s after git apply: %2$s`). **Fixed**: each case is now one whole string, and `writing %s` wraps only Git's own stderr line. The English is unchanged. - 🔵 [follow-up]: `'(unnamed binary file)'` in `planApply`'s skip list (`patch-plan.cjs`) was not wrapped, so the preview showed it in English inside a translated sentence. **Fixed here** (one line). - 🔵 [follow-up]: the Trac attachment URL refusal in `trac-view.js` was not wrapped. **Fixed here** (one line). The rest of that finding is `prSubmissionRefusal`/`prSubmissionBlocked`, which belong to #635, and the `'Site is not registered'` guard, which is left as it is (see Risks). - Style notes acted on: the `apply-card.cjs` header comment no longer claims `watch-activity.cjs` and `update-plan.cjs` are translated, and the pull request preview's install note reuses the apply card's existing msgid instead of adding a second one. Not acted on: a context for the generic `'%1$s and %2$s'` (nothing else uses it yet), and the awkward "which you applied" wording, which keeps the English as it was. - The reviewer confirmed that no English changed, that the one equality match (failures to conflicts) is the same translated string on both sides, that nothing is translated at module load, and that every new test fails without the wrapping. - **Since review:** `aa3bd88 → 729dd12`. The author checked the fixes above against the same standard: lint, `npm test` and `npm run i18n:pot` are clean, and the `i18n`, `apply-card`, `patch-apply` and `pr-checkout` journeys pass. No new findings. Then `729dd12 → 46c2cd4`: a rebase onto trunk `e94f507` after #635 merged, with two conflicts. In `pr-checkout.cjs` there is now one `@wordpress/i18n` import, #635's wrapping of `prSubmissionRefusal`/`prSubmissionBlocked` is kept, and this PR's wrapping of the rest is kept. In `i18n.spec.js` both appended tests are kept in full, and this PR's journey now uses trunk's top-level `write`/`LOGIN` import. The author checked the rebase but it was not re-reviewed: `npm ci`, build, lint, `npm run i18n:pot`, `npm test` (2041 pass, 2 skipped, 0 fail) are clean. The full journey suite passed 131 of 131 on the third full run. The first two full runs each had 2 timeouts, in `toasts.spec.js:114` (the Dismiss tooltip) and one `site-header.spec.js` menu hover (`:212`, then `:145`). Each passed when rerun alone, and both specs passed three times on trunk's `src/` and three times on this branch, but no trunk run was made under the same machine load, so a slower settle caused by this branch is not ruled out. CI's journeys are the check. </details> <details> <summary>Implementation notes</summary> - `prCheckoutRefusal` runs in main as well as in the renderer: main words the refusal for the terminal and the done event, and the renderer passes an unknown code's error through as main worded it. - `apply-conflict.cjs` pairs a failure with its breakdown by string equality. Both come from the same `conflictSentence` call in main, so the pair still matches when translated, and `patch-apply.integration` asserts it in the pseudo-locale. - Checks run from the repository root: `npm run build:once`, `npm run lint`, `npm test` (2040 passed, 2 skipped, 0 failures), `npm run i18n:pot` (every new string with a placeholder has its `translators:` comment in the .pot). The full journey suite: 125 passed at `aa3bd88`, and the four journeys touched by the follow-up commit passed again at `729dd12`. </details> <details> <summary>Screenshots or recording</summary> No layout changes: the same notices show the same English.

## Why The ticket card's questions and notices, the merge-in-progress and legacy-site notices, the deep-link banners, the folder-open failures, and the input errors for a ticket or issue number were plain English in a translated window. This is the #629 batch of #622, and needed the catalog in main from #634. ## What changes - **Whole sentences, per kind.** Every sentence that spliced in a noun (`ticket`/`issue`), an English article, or a count is now one string per kind of work item, with `_n` for counts. This covers the dirty-trunk question (`ticket-actions.cjs`), the trunk-moved notice and the move's refusals (`ticket-trunk-notice.cjs`), the changes note (`changes-note.cjs`), and the carried-work notice in `index.jsx`. - **The changes note** used to be `lead` / link / `middle` / link / `end`. It is now one sentence per case with `<review>` and `<discard>` marked in it, filled in by `createInterpolateElement`. `DiscardChangesLink` takes its words as children for that. - **Constants became functions:** `LEGACY_SITE_ERROR` → `legacySiteError()`, `DISCARD_CONFIRM_MESSAGE` → `discardConfirmMessage()`, and the merge kinds table → `kindWords(kind)`. Git commands go in as `%s`; the "resolve the files, then git add them and run %s" frame and the `<every file the patch touched…>` placeholder are wrapped. - **Main process:** the ticket and issue parsers' refusals (main returns them), the `ticket-branches.js` errors that reach `res.error`, the rebase handler's three refusals and the dirty-trunk error in `main.js`, and the editor's exit-code error in `editor-launch.js`. - `@wordpress/element` becomes a direct dependency, the same line #635 and #643 add. Not wrapped, per #622: the WIP commit message, which leaves the app. ## How to test this The new journeys in `tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js` walk every state #629 lists, in the pseudo-locale. Run them from the repository root on either platform: ``` npx playwright test --project=journeys tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js -g "ticket card's questions|ticket from a link|merge left open|folder will not open" ``` All five fail without this change (checked by putting trunk's `src/` back and rebuilding). They cover: a refused ticket number; loose edits on trunk and the question about them; both discard confirmations (read from `window.confirm`, since Electron's are not Playwright dialogs); the carried notice and the changes note with its two links; a parked ticket whose trunk moved; edits saved before a clean start; a deep link with no site, on a Core site and on a Gutenberg site; a merge left open by a terminal; a legacy site; and `editor:open` and `dir:show` stubbed to return each `reason`. What the journeys cannot reach: the main-process refusals that need a real Git failure (the move's conflict, "No such branch", a second branch for the same issue) and the editor's exit code. Unit tests add the pseudo-locale filter and check those: `ticket-branches.integration`, `editor-launch`, `trac-ticket`, `github-issue`, `merge-in-progress`, `legacy-site` and `ticket-trunk-notice`. To see the card by hand (either platform, current head): 1. From the repository root, run `npx electron . --lang=en-XA`. 2. Open a Core site on trunk, edit `src/wp-login.php`, type a ticket number in the ticket field and click **Link ticket**. - Expected: the question and its four buttons are accented and in brackets. 3. Click the button that takes the edits into the ticket. - Expected: the carried notice and the changes note under the ticket are accented and in brackets. The note's two links are accented words inside its sentence. **What must not have happened:** no English an English speaker sees has changed. The full journey suite (129, including `ticket-branches`, `ticket-rebase`, `merge-in-progress`, `legacy-site`, `gutenberg-site`, `site-header`, `review-changes` and `trunk-update`) passes with its exact English strings, and the unit tests that pin whole English sentences pass unchanged. ## Risks and limitations - Other open batches also append tests to the end of `i18n.spec.js`: #643, #635 and #636, and the parallel #627 and #628. Whichever merges later resolves that by keeping both. This branch carries the same `unwrapped()` scanner hunk as #643 and #635, byte for byte, so that part merges cleanly. - #635 adds an `@wordpress/i18n` require to `changes-note.cjs` on the same line this branch does, and #636 edits `use-trunk-update.jsx` and the `@wordpress/i18n` import in `index.jsx`. The `index.jsx` import line is identical to #636's. The others are small conflicts for whichever merges second. - Two English sentences changed in states the app cannot reach: `rebaseRefusal` with no ticket number used to say "link #the ticket again" and "which trunk #the ticket started from". They now say "the ticket". The card only offers the move when a ticket is linked. - Kept as they were: a few strings still say "ticket" on a Gutenberg site, as they did before (the merge and legacy notices' "linking tickets", main's dirty-trunk and rebase errors, "Could not save the ticket."). Each is wrapped whole, not reworded. Main's rebase errors are replaced by the card's own per-kind wording before display. - Not wrapped, because nothing shows them: `ticket-branches.js`'s refusals to commit on trunk, to switch with uncommitted trunk work (`dirty-trunk`, asked as a question instead), and its own no-base error (worded by the card from the code). - The dirty-trunk question is two whole sentences joined with a space, as the merge refusal already joins its title and body. - Review: 1 [fix here] (fixed) and 1 [follow-up] (deferred, below). - Deferred follow-up: the carried-work notice still picks its plural inside `index.jsx`, where the unit suite cannot reach it. It was a ternary there before, and #629 asks for this rewrite at this spot. Moving it into a `.cjs` helper beside `dirtyTrunkQuestion` would make both forms testable. ## Related Fixes #629. Part of #622. --- <details> <summary>Design decisions and alternatives considered</summary> - **The changes note returns one marked-up string** rather than the five parts. The parts fixed English word order around the two links; one sentence with `<review>` and `<discard>` lets a translator move them. - **The Trac and GitHub hosts and the repository go in as `%s`**, as #622 asks for product names and keys. - **The merge restore placeholder** keeps its angle brackets outside the translated words (`<%s>`), so the pseudo-locale accents the words and a translator does not have to keep the brackets. - **The journeys use their own `require` lines** at the end of the file rather than editing the shared one at the top, so they do not conflict with the other batches' edits to it. </details> <details> <summary>Review outcome (required — see AGENTS.md)</summary> 1 [fix here] · 1 [follow-up]. The [fix here] is fixed; the follow-up is deferred (see Risks). - 🔵 Tests: the issue variants of the dirty-trunk question had no test that pinned them whole. Fixed: `tests/unit/ticket-actions.test.cjs` now pins each one with an exact `assert.equal`. - 🔵 Architecture, [follow-up]: the carried-work notice's plural is decided in `index.jsx`. It was decided there before this PR too. Deferred. - The reviewer compared old and new output by hand for every module in the diff and found no reachable English change. It noted that the unreachable no-ticket wording of `rebaseRefusal` changed, which is listed in Risks. - **Review:** completed. Fresh read-only agent context, head `126b51e` / base `9fd167e`, all 27 files. Before it: `npm run lint` clean, `npm test` 2039 pass / 0 fail / 2 skipped, `npm run i18n:pot` clean with every translator comment in the .pot, full journey suite 129 pass. - **Since review:** `126b51e → 0bb2fa3` added the test for the [fix here] finding. Then `0bb2fa3 → 149ff18`, rebased onto trunk at `e94f507` (base `e94f507`) after #635 merged. The rebase resolved two conflicts: `changes-note.cjs`'s `@wordpress/i18n` import now takes `_n` alongside #635's `__` and `sprintf`, and the journeys appended to `i18n.spec.js` now follow #635's, using trunk's `gitOk` import. The scanner hunk and the `@wordpress/element` line were already on trunk, so the branch's copies dropped out.

…h error (#647) ## Why #630 is the last batch of #622. This PR is the part of it that doesn't wait on the five open batches (#636, #643, #644, #645, #646): the mail dialog, the Playground web server and the copy-path error were still plain English, and `applyDoneMessage` spliced a verb and a noun into an English sentence for any pair it had no sentence for. ## What changes - The mail dialog: "From:", "To:", "CC:", "Date:", the Rendered and Raw tabs, and the "Email" title of a mail with no subject. - The Playground web server: its Start and Stop buttons, the loading announcement, "Starting…", the panel's heading, "Stopped", and "Server exited with code %d". - The copy-path failure: the alert and the clipboard-unavailable message in it. - `applyDoneMessage`'s fallback is `_x('Done', 'an action that finished')` instead of `` `${verb} the ${noun}` ``. No caller reaches it today: the three in `use-apply-patch.jsx` pass only the five pairs it has sentences for. Not in this PR, because another open PR already wraps them or because #630 says to wait for one: | Item | Where | |---|---| | `COPY_BUTTON_LABELS` | #646 | | "Dismiss" on the deep-link notice, "Choose application…" | #644 | | "Setting up new site…" | #636 | | `use-dev-server.jsx` leftovers | after #646 | | `apply-card.cjs:191` period | after #645 | | `project-type.cjs` `workItem.label` | after #643, #636, #644 | | The full `--lang=en-XA` walk | after all five merge | ## How to test this Two en-XA journeys cover this, and both are red without the change: ```bash # from the repository root npm run build:once npx playwright test --project=journeys tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js -g "a mail the site sent|Playground web server" ``` - **a mail the site sent is fully translatable**: a mail on its Rendered tab and its Raw tab, and a mail with no subject, whose dialog is titled "Email". - **the Playground web server is fully translatable**: stopped, starting (including the live-region announcement), running, and after it exits with code 1. The English journeys in `mail.spec.js` still pass, so an English speaker sees the same text as before. What the journeys can't reach is the copy-path alert. It needs the clipboard to refuse a write, and I couldn't stage that. To look by hand (any platform, current head): run `npx electron . --lang=en-XA` from the repository root, start a site's dev server, and open a mail from the Email tray. Every label and both tabs show accented and in brackets. The Playground web server only appears in a build that ships `local-playground-web`, so a checkout won't show it. **What must not have happened:** with no `--lang`, the mail dialog and the web server read exactly as they did before. ## Risks and limitations - Found while writing the web server journey: `@wordpress/a11y` adds a screen-reader-only "Notifications" paragraph at DOM-ready, before the app loads its locale, so it stays English. #630 doesn't list it, so it isn't fixed here. - The web server's other errors come from main (`'local-playground-web directory not found.'`, or a thrown error) and stay English. That belongs with the main-process strings, not this renderer batch. ## Related Part of #630. Part of #622. --- <details> <summary>Review outcome</summary> **4 [fix here] · 2 [follow-up].

The journey now opens one. - The `Done` fallback wasn't in the unit test that runs every sentence through a catalog.

Each new journey assertion was checked to fail with its string unwrapped. - **Deferred:** - The mail journey excuses any text that is part of the mail. No label is excused today, but matching whole text nodes would be stricter. - The web server's main-process error strings (see Risks). - **Dropped:** the finding that "Dismiss", "Choose application…", `COPY_BUTTON_LABELS` and "Setting up new site…" were unwrapped. The reviewer read the issues, not the PR diffs; #644, #646 and #636 wrap them. - **Since review:** 4f8b808 → c9c5c0c, which contains only the fixes above.

This does the rest, now that #636, #643, #644, #645 and #646 are merged: the en-XA sweep #630 asks for, and the two rule breaks it named in already-wrapped code. ## What changes **Found by the sweep:** - xterm's own screen-reader strings: the terminal input's label ("Terminal input") and its "too much output" announcement, set through `Terminal.strings` before each terminal is created. - Main's refusal to submit while a patch is applied. It was `${label} is applied. Revert it…`, a sentence spliced around the name, and it's shown as-is in the patch pane. It's now two whole sentences, one with the name and one without. - The Playground web server's three errors from main (no folder to serve, exits before it's ready, times out). #647's review deferred these here. **Rule breaks #630 named:** - `apply-card.cjs` adds a full stop to a headline that lacks one. #630 said to drop it once main's errors carried their own. They don't, and can't all: `patch-apply.js` messages double as terminal bullets, the fallback headline is Git's own stderr line, and four paths pass a thrown error's text. So the full stop stays but goes through `_x('%s.', …)` for the translator to choose, and a sentence already ended in any script's mark (`\p{Sentence_Terminal}`) keeps it. - `workItem.label` is removed from both project types. Nothing read it once the sentences that named a work item became one per kind. **Already done, nothing to change:** `use-dev-server.jsx` had nothing left after #646. ## How to test this Any platform, current head. The suites cover it: ```bash # from the repository root npm test npm run build:once npx playwright test --project=journeys tests/e2e/journeys/i18n.spec.js ``` - `ipc-wiring.test.cjs` has two new pseudo-locale tests, for main's refusal (with and without a name) and the web server's failures. Both are red on the old `main.js`. - `apply-card.test.cjs` checks the translated full stop, and that sentences ended in `。`, `؟` and `।` keep their mark. - The i18n Terminal journey now finds the input by its translated name. The apply card journey now expects the whole refusal, full stop included, as one translated string. To look by hand: run `npx electron . --lang=en-XA` from the repository root, open a site, open the Terminal tray, and inspect the terminal's textarea. Its `aria-label` is bracketed and accented. **What must not have happened:** with no `--lang`, nothing reads differently. The refusal, the web server errors and the terminal's label are the same English as before, and `mail.spec.js`, `terminal.spec.js` and the rest of the English journeys pass unchanged. ## Risks and limitations - **What the sweep covered:** I launched en-XA with a Core site and a Gutenberg site, opened every tray, log tab and settings tab, the site menu and the create dialog, and scanned the whole window. After the xterm fix, the only English left was product names, commands, the `$` prompt and PHP version numbers. It didn't open every dialog or failure state; the existing i18n journeys cover many of those. - **Left on purpose** (#622's do-not-wrap list): main's argument guards (`'Site is not registered'`, `'No running script'`), the `github-prs.js` and `trac-view.js` errors that are replaced by a status before display, and `console.error` messages. - **Untested:** `'Timed out starting web server'` is wrapped but has no test. It needs fake timers for its 20-second wait. - #648 (the a11y "Notifications" text) is separate. ## Related Closes #630. Part of #622. --- <details> <summary>Review outcome</summary> **1 [fix here] · 1 [follow-up]. The fix is applied in c2eb4ba.** - **Review:** completed by a separate agent with a fresh context, against `.github/instructions/code-review.instructions.md`. Reviewed head c53312a, base 8303849 (trunk). `npm run lint` clean, `npm test` 2081/2081, full journey suite 147/147 on c53312a. - **Fixed:** the list of marks that end a sentence missed Devanagari `।`, Armenian, Ethiopic, Khmer and Myanmar, so a Hindi sentence would have got a second mark. It now uses `\p{Sentence_Terminal}`, with a Hindi case in the test. The doc comment's over-long line was rewrapped. - **Deferred:** a test for the web server's 20-second timeout (see Risks). - **Confirmed by the review:** - xterm reads `promptLabel` in `open()` and `tooMuchOutput` on each announcement, so setting both before `new Terminal` is early enough. - The refusal's English is unchanged for every label, including a blank one. - Nothing reads `workItem.label`. - No English journey asserts a changed string. - **Since review:** c53312a → c2eb4ba, which contains only the fix above. Lint, unit tests (2081) and the i18n journeys were rerun on c2eb4ba. One i18n journey (site details and menu, which this branch doesn't touch) failed once in that run, then passed three times on its own and in the full run before. That's a flake. </details> Nothing on screen changes in English, so there are no screenshots. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
