phase 7+: i18n primitive + login language picker + autocomplete-off

Adds a minimal Svelte 5 i18n primitive (`src/lib/i18n/`) backing the
login form, the layout blocker page, and the lobby placeholder.
SUPPORTED_LOCALES drives both the picker and the runtime lookup;
adding a language is a two-step change inside `src/lib/i18n/`.

Login form gains a globe-icon language dropdown (English / Русский
in their native names), defaulting to navigator.languages with `en`
as the fallback. Switching the locale re-renders the form in place;
on submit, the locale rides in the JSON body of `send-email-code`
because Safari/WebKit silently drops JS-set Accept-Language. Gateway
gains a body `locale` field that takes priority over the request
header for preferred-language resolution.

Email and code inputs disable browser autofill / suggestions
(`autocomplete=off` + `autocorrect=off` + `autocapitalize=off` +
`spellcheck=false`) so Keychain / address-book pickers and
remembered-value dropdowns no longer fire on focus.

Cross-cuts:
- backend & gateway openapi: clarify that body `locale` is honored.
- docs/FUNCTIONAL{,_ru}.md §1.2: document body-vs-header priority.
- gateway tests: body `locale` overrides Accept-Language; blank
  body `locale` falls back to header.
- new ui/docs/i18n.md; cross-links from auth-flow.md and ui/README.

+## Localisation

+The login form, the root layout's blocker page, and the lobby

+`navigator.languages` (web) with `en` as the fallback. Picking a

+# i18n (UI)
+
+The UI client ships with a minimal locale primitive used by the
+phase-7 login form, the root layout, and the lobby placeholder. The
+goal is just enough infrastructure to translate user-visible
+strings, switch the active language at runtime, and forward the
+caller's choice to the gateway. Phase 35 will swap this primitive
+for a fuller solution once message-format pluralisation, lazy
+loading, and translator workflows become necessary; until then,
+the surface here covers every authenticated and unauthenticated
+screen the client renders.
+
+## Surface
+
+```
+src/lib/i18n/
+├── index.svelte.ts       # I18nStore singleton, types, SUPPORTED_LOCALES
+└── locales/
+    ├── en.ts             # English dictionary (default, source of truth)
+    └── ru.ts             # Russian dictionary (mirrors en.ts keys)
+```
+
+The exported singleton (`i18n`) is a Svelte 5 runes class with one
+reactive field, `locale`, and a `t(key, params?)` lookup. Components
+read translations through `i18n.t('login.title')` and re-render
+automatically when `i18n.locale` changes.
+
+The runes singleton is a `.svelte.ts` file because Svelte 5 only
+processes `$state` runes inside `.svelte`, `.svelte.js`, and
+`.svelte.ts` modules.
+
+## Adding a language
+
+Two-step change inside `src/lib/i18n/`:
+
+1. Drop `locales/<bcp47-primary-subtag>.ts` mirroring the shape of
+   `locales/en.ts`. The TypeScript signature on each non-English
+   file is `Record<keyof typeof en, string>`, so the compiler
+   refuses to build until every key in `en.ts` is translated.
+2. Register the new file in the `SUPPORTED_LOCALES` array in
+   `index.svelte.ts`. That single list drives the language picker
+   (UI) and the runtime lookup table.
+
+For example, adding French:
+
+```ts
+// src/lib/i18n/locales/fr.ts
+import type en from "./en";
+const fr: Record<keyof typeof en, string> = {
+    "common.language": "langue",
+    /* …translate every other key… */
+};
+export default fr;
+```
+
+```ts
+// src/lib/i18n/index.svelte.ts
+import frTranslations from "./locales/fr";
+
+export type Locale = "en" | "ru" | "fr";
+
+export const SUPPORTED_LOCALES: readonly LocaleEntry[] = [
+    { code: "en", nativeName: "English", translations: enTranslations },
+    { code: "ru", nativeName: "Русский", translations: ruTranslations },
+    { code: "fr", nativeName: "Français", translations: frTranslations },
+];
+```
+
+No other code change is required: the picker, the detection helper,
+the `t()` function and the gateway forwarding all derive from
+`SUPPORTED_LOCALES`.
+
+## Detection
+
+`detectInitialLocale(preferences?)` returns the first
+`SUPPORTED_LOCALES` entry whose `code` matches the primary subtag of
+any preference, or `DEFAULT_LOCALE` (English) when nothing matches.
+
+The web target calls it without arguments, in which case the helper
+reads `navigator.languages` (or `navigator.language` as fallback).
+Native wrappers (Wails, Capacitor) will pass their system locale
+once Phase 31/32 lands; the helper is platform-agnostic by design.
+
+The detection runs once at module load — there is no asynchronous
+init step. Callers that mutate the locale (e.g. the language picker
+on `/login`) call `i18n.setLocale(next)` directly. The choice is
+**not** persisted between page reloads in Phase 7; the next visit
+re-runs detection. Persistence is a phase-35 concern.
+
+## Forwarding the locale to the gateway
+
+The login form passes the active `i18n.locale` to
+`sendEmailCode(baseUrl, email, { locale })`. The auth API places
+the value inside the JSON body (`locale` field) rather than the
+`Accept-Language` header:
+
+```ts
+await sendEmailCode(GATEWAY_BASE_URL, trimmed, { locale: i18n.locale });
+```
+
+The body field is the canonical channel because Safari/WebKit
+silently drops JS-set `Accept-Language` headers (a long-standing
+WebKit fingerprinting mitigation). The gateway reads the body
+field with priority over the request `Accept-Language`, and
+non-Safari clients can still rely on the header alone — the gateway
+treats body and header as a single fallback chain. See
+`gateway/internal/restapi/public_auth.go` for the resolution path
+and `docs/FUNCTIONAL.md` §1.2 for the contract.
+
+The `confirm-email-code` endpoint does **not** carry the locale.
+Per `docs/FUNCTIONAL.md` §1.3, the preferred language is captured
+at challenge issuance and replayed from the challenge row.
+
+## Key conventions
+
+- Dotted keys grouped by feature area: `login.*`, `lobby.*`,
+  `common.*`. New screens own their own prefix.
+- Templates may carry simple `{name}` placeholders. The `t()`
+  helper substitutes them with the caller-provided value via plain
+  string replacement; values are written to the DOM unescaped, so
+  callers must feed user-safe strings.
+- Lookup falls back to the default locale and finally to the literal
+  key when a key is missing in the active locale. The TypeScript
+  signature on each locale file enforces complete coverage at build
+  time, so runtime fallback is the safety net for a freshly added
+  language that has not finished its translation pass.
+- The translation file is the single source of truth — components
+  never hardcode user-visible English text; everything goes through
+  `i18n.t(...)`.
+
+## Testing
+
+- `tests/i18n.test.ts` covers `detectInitialLocale`,
+  `i18n.setLocale`, parameter interpolation, and the unknown-key
+  fallback.
+- `tests/login-page.test.ts` asserts the language picker renders
+  with native names, switching the locale re-renders the form
+  text, and `sendEmailCode` receives the active locale.
+- `tests/auth-api.test.ts` asserts the locale is forwarded through
+  the JSON body of `send-email-code`.
+- `tests/e2e/auth-flow.spec.ts` covers the dropdown-driven switch
+  end-to-end on every Playwright project, including Safari (where
+  Accept-Language is unsettable from JS).
