setLocale returned early when the id already matched the active locale, so
choosing the language already on screen wrote nothing. That value may be a
provisional browser-derived or fallback resolution nothing has stored, so a
different browser sharing the DSH home still resolved on its own. Write
unconditionally; keep the render publish conditional.
Broaden the dictionary parity gate to every workspace package, pair zh/en
across sibling files and inline registrations, and fail when a dictionary has
no counterpart. It previously scanned only packages/client and packages/
extensions, compared within a single module, and silently skipped unpaired
dictionaries -- so the split locales/zh.ts + en.ts common pair, the inline
directory-picker-browse dictionary, and session-log-export were unchecked.
Normalize paths at ingestion so the sweep does not narrow on Windows.
Regenerate the client API catalog and update the locale README pair: both
described the old zh fallback direction.
Add the English fallback dialog golden, and drop a dead afterEach plus the
blank lines left where the dead browser-language pins were removed.
The provisional locale fell back to zh, so a browser asking for neither
zh nor en (fr, de) opened the product in Chinese. Resolve to en instead,
and use en as the dictionary fallback: the shipped zh/en dictionaries
declare identical key sets, so one constant serves both roles.
Add scripts/locale-dictionary-parity.spec.ts to gate that symmetry, and
set the asserted locale explicitly in specs that had relied on the old
zh fallback through a dead usePinnedBrowserLanguages call (those files
declare no jsdom environment, so browser detection never ran there).
