synapse: a reaction continues its conversation, and the request becomes a record ...

Every Synapse event used to open its own service session, so two messages of
one Telegram chat landed in two unrelated chats. The dispatcher now returns a
`session_key` — derived from the payload according to the user's routing
document — and a later event carrying the same key joins the session that
opened it, within `reaction_session_ttl_minutes` of idle time (0 restores the
old always-fresh behaviour). A session that is still running is never joined:
`create_run` overwrites `state.run`, so a second run would orphan the first
one's subscribers — a busy thread gets a fresh session instead. When the
dispatcher names a different profile for the event, the session's profile is
switched through `set_profile`, never through `save()`, which does not rewrite
`name` or `profile_id`: the thread keeps its name and its history.

What the user reads in the transcript is now only the request. The event
record is a system message (`metadata.source == "synapse_event"`) drawn by a
new SynapseEventNotice.vue in the visual language of the recall badge, and the
framing plus the JSON envelope become a hidden user turn written once, on the
first event of a thread — not on every one. The instructions from Settings
reach the model through a new `current_reaction_instructions` ContextVar and
the `[Reaction session]` block of the system prompt, so they appear in no
transcript at all. The stored system record still has to reach the model, so
ContextBuilder's allowlist becomes `_LLM_SYSTEM_SOURCES = {task_note,
synapse_event}`.

The dispatcher gets a document of its own — how to route, rather than what to
do — stored beside the reaction instructions, versioned separately, and edited
in its own field in the settings panel. `synapse_instruction_versions` gains a
`doc` discriminator, so existing rows keep `'reaction'` and their history
verbatim. The new columns are added by `_MIGRATE`, and the index over `doc`
lives there too: `_DDL` runs first, so an index over a column the migration has
not added yet kills the whole batch on an existing database — which is what
the prod database is. A guard test keeps it that way.

Tests: 1776 passed, 1 skipped (backend), 242 passed (webclient, 28 files).

webclient: the small UI components in en, uk and ru ...

The sixth and last area of the interface translation. The components in
components/ui/ now build their text through t(): the login screen, the welcome
screen, the confirmation dialog, the offline banner, the image lightbox, the
selection toolbar, the card grid and the form, plus the sidebar's close button,
which is one of the strings that moved.

24 new slugs in all three dictionaries, and one moved:

- 24 in ui.* — the login and welcome screens (the heading, the tagline they
  both show, the GNEXUS button), the confirmation dialog, the offline banner,
  the lightbox (its heading, its close button, the failed-to-load message), the
  selection toolbar's Reply and its tooltip, the card grid's three section
  headings and its "+{n} more", and the form's submit button, its submitted
  note and its ten validation messages;
- common.close, moved out of sidebar.*: the sidebar's close button and the
  lightbox's say the same word, so it sits in the vocabulary area now.

Four details worth knowing:

- OfflineBanner's sentence was hard-coded Russian inside an otherwise English
  file — for a reader in English or Ukrainian it was the one Russian sentence
  in the app. It is a slug now, and the Russian value is that same sentence
  verbatim, so nothing changes for the reader who could already read it.
- The form's validation messages interpolate: "{field} is required" carries the
  field's own label, and the numeric limits carry {n}. The two length messages
  are dictionary plurals now, so English says "Minimum length is 1 character"
  where it used to say "1 characters", and Russian and Ukrainian get the three
  forms a numeral needs — "1 символ", "2 символа", "5 символов".
- The card grid's "+4 more" is one slug with a count, not a sentence glued
  together in the template.
- ui.tagline is written once and read by both the login and the welcome screen,
  which show the same words.

The English values are verbatim the literals the code hard-coded, so the
English interface is unchanged and no test needed editing.

Checked live in Chromium against the built bundle on the dev backend, all three
languages: the login screen (reached with no account at all, its language
coming from navi.locale), the offline banner with the context put offline under
it, the selection toolbar over a real selection in a message, and the
confirmation dialog opened from a session row's Delete. Two further passes open
a session whose tool output carries a card grid and one that carries images, for
the card grid's section headings and the lightbox's heading and close button.

The form is the one component no saved session renders — nothing in the dev
database carries a form payload — so its messages were printed through t()
instead, including the plural ones: "Поле «Email» обязательно", "Минимальная
длина — 2 символа", "Мінімальна довжина — 5 символів", "Minimum length is 1
character".

webclient: the chat area in en, uk and ru ...

The fifth area of the interface translation. The chat screen now builds its
text through t(): the header (the rename tooltip, the sidebar toggle, the
artifacts toggle, and the recall banner with its Cancel and Skip next
buttons), the list around it (the connection-lost banner and its Retry, and —
unreachable for now — the empty state), the input bar (the sending notice, the
paperclip, the placeholder, Send and Stop generation), the attachment strip
(its alt text and its remove button), the message list (Loading older
messages… and the scroll-to-bottom tooltip) and the queued-messages chip. Also
four toasts the WebSocket composable raises — background task started /
finished, MCP server connected / disconnected — and the compression notice's
own pending text.

26 new slugs in all three dictionaries:

- 20 in chat.* — the header and recall banner, the input bar, the attachment
  strip, the queued chip and the empty state;
- 4 in toast.* — the two background-task and the two MCP toasts;
- 2 in common.* — task and toolsCount.

Four details worth knowing:

- The recall banner used to read the server's call_type enum out loud
  ("Scheduled once recall at …"). The word is now a slug
  (chat.recallOnce / chat.recallRecurring / chat.recallImmediate), so it agrees
  with the sentence around it — Russian and Ukrainian both change the
  adjective's gender and the preposition, which a bare enum cannot.
- The banner's time was formatted with the browser's locale; it now formats
  against locale.value, so the date follows the interface language rather than
  the machine.
- The queued chip counted with `count === 1 ? '' : 's'`. It is now a dictionary
  plural driven by {n}, which is what Russian and Ukrainian need — "1
  сообщение", "2 сообщения", "5 сообщений".
- toolsCount moved from messages.* to common.*: the tool-count badge in the
  assistant message and the MCP-connected toast both render it, so the same
  word lives in the vocabulary area instead of twice under two areas.
  docs/i18n.md records the move.

The English values are verbatim the literals the code hard-coded, so the
English interface is unchanged and no test needed editing.

Checked live in Chromium against the built bundle on the dev backend, all
three languages: the header title, the input placeholder, both input-row
buttons, the recall banner and its buttons, twelve message rows and the
attachment's alt and remove — read fresh for each language by picking it in
Settings first — with a scan of the page's text, titles, aria-labels, alt texts
and placeholders for a slug that leaked into the interface as the pass
condition.

Two states a saved session cannot be put into are covered by a throwaway mount
instead, and the file was removed again: the streaming input bar (Sending…,
Stop generation) and the queued chip, plus the recall words and the toast
titles, printed in Russian — "1 сообщение в очереди" / "2 сообщения" /
"5 сообщений".

The connection-lost banner never appears in this harness: with no socket token
the server refuses the socket and the client never exhausts its retries inside
the test's window, on the current build and on HEAD's alike. It is covered by
the existing tests/unit/composables/useWebSocket.test.js and by reading
ChatArea.vue; the same goes for chat.nothingOpen / chat.startConversation,
which App.vue's WelcomeScreen shadows before ChatArea can render its own empty
state — the branch is dead today and keeps its slugs for when it is not.

webclient: the message area in en, uk and ru ...

The fourth area of the interface translation. Everything a conversation is made
of now builds its text through t(): the thinking card and the status line it
replaces while the model reasons, the plan card, the tool cards (both the plain
one and its sub-agent steps), the published-content card, the UI-component card
and the compression notice, plus the two new chat bubbles' copy button and the
"Scheduled recall" mark on an injected user message.

25 new slugs in all three dictionaries:

- 23 in messages.* — the cards' own headers and labels (Thinking, Plan,
  Arguments, Show all / Hide older tools, Useful / Not useful, Open file,
  Content, Unknown UI component: {name}, Context summary, Compressing context…,
  Context compressed), the running and elapsed labels (Running {tool}…,
  Preparing next action…, running, starting) and the two counted ones that a
  compact JSON preview renders, "{n} items" and "{n} keys";
- 2 in common.* — Copy and Copied!, which the assistant and the user message
  both need.

Three details worth knowing:

- The English values are verbatim the literals the code hard-coded, with one
  exception: "{n} tools" and "({before} → {after} messages)" are now dictionary
  plurals, so English says "1 tool" and "1 message" where it used to say
  "1 tools" and "1 messages". No test asserted either string.
- The braces around the two compact-JSON counts stay in the template
  (`[${t('messages.jsonItems', { n })}]`), so a translator never has to keep a
  bracket it cannot see the other half of.
- The message list's ContentCard shows the same published-file widget as the
  artifacts drawer, so it reads the six artifacts.* slugs of that widget rather
  than carrying six duplicates under messages.*; and its two tool-output labels
  — Result and Live output — are the words the tool card already uses, so they
  sit in common.* and the drawer's copies moved there too. docs/i18n.md records
  both.

Checked live in Chromium against the built bundle on the dev backend: five
saved sessions chosen so that between them they render every component of the
area (thinking cards, plan cards, 55 tool cards, published-content cards,
UI-component cards and a compression notice), six loads per language, with
every collapsed block expanded first and a scan for a slug leaking into the
rendered text as the pass condition. The sub-agent step cannot be reached from
a saved session — the runtime does not persist tool steps — so SubagentStep was
rendered on its own in a throwaway mount instead: "выполняется", "Аргументы",
"Результат", "[3 элемента]".

webclient: the sidebar in en, uk and ru ...

The third area of the interface translation. AppSidebar, SessionList and
SessionItem now build their text through t(): New Chat, the profile strip and
its filter buttons, the list label (Conversations / Service sessions, and
"30 results" while searching), the empty and loading states, the per-session
icons' tooltips (pinned, scheduled recall, service session), the row actions
(pin / unpin / cancel recall / skip next / delete and its confirm dialog), and
the footer identity (Local mode / Log out / Log in / Settings / Admin).

Also the shared time labels in composables/useTime.js — "just now" and
"5 min ago" — which the messages area renders too; they go to common.*
because both screens say the same words. The label is a cached string, not a
template that re-renders, so the composable now watches locale and rewrites
itself when the language changes. The absolute fallbacks format against
locale.value instead of the browser locale.

31 new slugs: 28 in sidebar.*, plus common.delete, common.minutesAgo (plural)
and confirm.deleteSession. English values are verbatim the old literals, so
the English interface is unchanged and no test needed editing.

Checked live in Chromium against the built bundle on the dev backend: the
sidebar was read in all three languages both in the plain list and with the
search field open, including every title / aria-label / placeholder / alt, with
a slug-leak scan as the pass condition.

One English string stays put on purpose: GnSearchField's aria-label
="Clear search" is baked into the UI kit component, not passed in, so it is
English on every gnexus client; docs/i18n.md now says so.

webclient: the artifacts drawer in en, uk and ru ...

The second area of the interface translation. Every user-visible string in
ArtifactsPanel.vue now goes through t(): the four tab chips, the empty states,
the action labels (open preview / open raw file / download / copy link), the
pull-to-refresh captions, the background-task badges and ages, the terminal
detail rows and the live-output header.

60 new slugs, in all three dictionaries:

- 39 in artifacts.*;
- 11 in the shared col.* vocabulary (Tool, Status, Started, Finished, PID,
  Command, CWD, Uptime, Background, Reason, Sub-agent tokens) — the drawer is
  where these table headers first appear;
- 10 in common.* — Download, Yes, No, N/A, the tool-output labels Result and
  Live output, and the four the sidebar needs as well: the three
  pull-to-refresh captions and "just now". These are the same words on both
  screens, so they sit in the shared vocabulary area and the drawer keeps only
  what is about the drawer.

Four details worth knowing:

- The English values are verbatim the literals the code hard-coded, so the
  English interface is byte-identical and the existing tests stay untouched.
- Counted strings use dictionary plurals: '{n} links in session' is
  one/few/many in ru and uk, one/other in en.
- Times (formatTime / formatDate) and ages now format against locale.value
  instead of the browser locale, so a Russian interface shows 16:56 where
  English shows 04:56 PM.
- Unit suffixes in formatUptime (s/m/h) are left alone: they are symbols
  inside a number, not words.

Checked live in Chromium against the built bundle on the dev backend: the
drawer was driven through all four tabs in all three languages on two real
sessions — one with published STL files and a viewed-images group, one with
eight extracted links — with a slug-leak scan as the pass condition, and the
time/age formatting difference confirmed in the rendering.

webclient: the settings screen in en, uk and ru ...

Settings is the first area off hard-coded English: 122 strings for the shell and
its five tabs — App, Account, Notifications, Synapse and MCP — plus the 43 the
shared vocabulary contributes (common.*, col.*, confirm.*, toast.*).

The English dictionary carries the very literals the templates used, so the
interface a test reads is byte-for-byte what it was and the 56 assertions on
English UI text stay green; only a slug that is genuinely counted had to be
restructured into a plural. In ru and uk the counted strings get the three
Slavic forms driven by n. Product names are never translated: Navi, Synapse,
MCP, Ollama, Tool call, Subagent and Token read the same in all three
languages, and the settings screen keeps one settings.* area with
panel-prefixed slugs rather than a slug per panel, as the other gnexus clients
do.

Strings carrying markup are split around it instead of hiding tags in the
dictionary: the install steps keep their inline icons and <code>http://</code>
in the template, with the words of each sentence on either side. Four lists of
labels — the settings tabs, two table headers, and the reaction options — are
now computed rather than module-level constants, since a list built at import
keeps the language that was active then and ignores a switch. Dates in the
panels go through the interface language as well, not the browser's.

Checked in Chromium against the built bundle: all three languages on all five
tabs, with a scan for a slug leaking into the rendered text as the pass
condition, and the account left with no override afterwards.

i18n: en/uk/ru, and the interface language of the account ...

The client hard-coded English in every template. It now goes through t() from
src/i18n/ — a locale ref, {param} interpolation, plural dictionaries driven by
n, and flat per-area dictionaries in src/i18n/messages/ carrying the same slugs
in all three languages. vue-i18n is deliberately not pulled in: the platform
handbook rules it out, and what it would buy — plural forms, a reactive locale,
an English fallback — is about eighty lines here. A slug nobody carries falls
back to English, so a screen already translated and one still speaking
hard-coded English can coexist while the work goes area by area.

The language comes from locale_effective in GET /auth/me: the choice made in
Settings (navi_users.locale_override, a new column) over the gnexus-auth
account locale (navi_users.locale, a straight mirror the user.profile_updated
webhook keeps writing — the override sits in its own column precisely so that
mirror cannot wipe it), over en. PATCH /auth/me writes the override, and null
means "follow the account" again. With NAVI_AUTH_ENABLED=false there is no
account to follow, so the choice is kept in localStorage under navi.locale.

The picker is the first block of Settings → Account. Each language is named in
its own language, which is why those three strings are identical in all three
dictionaries. Lists of labels are computed rather than module-level constants:
one built at import would keep the language that was active then and ignore a
switch.

Checked in Chromium against the built bundle: choosing Русский rewrites
<html lang> and the document title, survives a reload, and Auto brings the
account's own language back.
