Localize behavior strings (Zone 5) — inline delivery

The ~45 client-side strings across packages/behaviors/src/behaviors/ and .../elements/. Behaviors have no server config, so translations are delivered inline (Decision D4): no fetched endpoint.

Scope

  • data-i18n-* attributes: the identity transform emits data-i18n-{key}={translated} on rune root elements for behavior strings that attach to an element it already renders. Prefer this path wherever a string has an anchor element.
  • Inline JSON block: ThemeShell (and each adapter's page shell) emits <meta name="rf-locale"> + <script type="application/json" id="rf-strings"> carrying only runtime-created strings (e.g. "No results found.", "Copied", dynamically-built gallery labels) — ~15–20 strings, active locale only.
  • Each behavior reads: element attribute → getGlobalString(key) → hardcoded English default.
  • Cover the new files the spec inventory added: behaviors/carousel.ts, behaviors/mobile-menu.ts, behaviors/section-nav.ts/scrollspy.ts, plus elements/* (audio/map/sandbox; scan chart/diagram/nav/context).
  • Tests: attribute + block resolution, and SSR-only (no-JS) fallback to English.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Element-attached behavior strings resolve from data-i18n-*; runtime-created strings resolve from the inline JSON block; both fall back to English.
  • Only the active locale is emitted; no /rf-strings.json fetch is introduced.
  • Strings are available synchronously at behavior init (no flash-of-English); no-JS pages render English.
  • All Zone 5 files, including the new ones, are covered.
