i18n: rename the LARP domain concept from "Setting" to "World" across 36 locales

[rubenvdlinde]

Stacked on #288 (shares src/manifest.json). Rebase/merge that first.

The defect

In LARP a setting is the game world. In a Nextcloud UI "Setting" means a preference. One English source string cannot carry both meanings, and the catalogues show exactly that split:

	rendering
Phrase keys — already correct everywhere	All settings → de Alle Spielwelten, fr Tous les univers, es Todas las ambientaciones, ru Все игровые миры
Bare keys — wrong in all 35 non-nl locales	Setting → de Einstellung, fr Paramètre, es Ajuste, pl Ustawienie

The bare keys were the page titles and nav label for the game-world entity. Every translator read them as preferences — correctly, given no context.

Why renaming beats retranslating

Retranslating cannot work: Setting/Settings are also the correct source strings for actual preferences, and the ambiguity would recur for every future locale and translator. So the English word changes and the Setting/Settings nav keys are left exactly as they are — they now unambiguously mean preferences and every existing translation of them is correct. No 35-locale rewrite.

"World" is not invented

• the schema summary already read "A LARP world / campaign"
• the schema icon was already Earth
• the menu label was already Settings (Worlds) — someone had reached for the word and could only bolt it on in parentheses

Labels only — no migration

Unchanged: the persisted OpenRegister property setting, the schema slug setting, the page ids Settings/SettingDetail, the routes /settings and /settings/:id (deep-link surface). SkillTree.vue still filters on skill.setting.

Changed: menu label + icon (CogOutline → Earth — the cog was the preferences signal in the nav), the two page titles, four SettingDetail widget titles/empty texts, SkillTree.vue's three t() strings, and the register schema title / summary / descriptions.

Translations derived, not invented

Each locale's World/Worlds comes from its own existing domain rendering of the phrase keys — de Spielwelt/Spielwelten from "Alle Spielwelten", fr Univers (invariable) from "Tous les univers", pt Cenário/Cenários, is Söguheimur/Söguheimar, hu Játékvilág/Játékvilágok, and so on for all 36. The two renamed phrase keys carry their existing translation over verbatim — the target text was already right, only the English source moved.

Flagged rather than guessed silently: ga (Saolta cluiche), mt (Dinjiet tal-logħba) and rm (Munds da gieu) are morphological plurals derived from the locale's own singular, not native-verified.

Can-fail proof for test:l10n — both arms

mutation	result
drop World from l10n/en.json	l10n-check: FAIL, exit 1 — translation key(s) used in source but MISSING from l10n/en.json: "World"
drop Worlds from l10n/de.json only	l10n-parity: FAIL, exit 1 — backend (.json) de: 1 missing key(s) … missing: "Worlds"
both restored	exit 0

(Exit codes read directly, not through a pipe.)

The 37 catalogue files round-trip byte-identically at 4-space indent + trailing newline — verified before writing — so the diff is exactly the four keys touched per file.

Left for a follow-up

The menu group label is also World (it holds Items / Events / XP Awards), so the nav now reads World > … beside a Worlds entry. Redundant, but not ambiguous, and regrouping the nav was out of scope. Separately: Mechanics, World, XP Awards, XP Award, Game Settings and Features & roadmap are menu labels / page titles missing from l10n/en.json entirely, so they render untranslated in all 36 locales. Pre-existing, unrelated to this change, reported not fixed.

Verification

check:specs, lint, stylelint, test:unit, test:l10n all exit 0. Full-tree hydra gates unchanged vs development (4 failing, same names).

Merging.

Strict-subset evaluation, by name

development @ 621205be (run completed — checked, an in-flight run reports zero failures and reads like green):

quality / Integration Tests (Newman)
quality / Hydra Gates
quality / Quality Report        (pure aggregator — not debt)

This PR: Quality Report, Hydra Gates, Integration Tests (Newman). Strict subset ✅

Hydra Gates: zero failing gates on both sides

Worth spelling out, because sharing a job name is not the same as sharing a defect. Neither this PR nor development has a single FAIL line — both are red purely from coverage enforcement over structural skips, which is the upstream empty-scope fix working as designed (an empty diff no longer prints a vacuous PASS):

	this PR	development
gates FAILing	none	none
SKIPPED (structural)	19, 25, 60	19, 25, 62, 63
coverage	55 of 58 applicable	54 of 58 applicable

gate-60 icon-vocabulary: SKIPPED (wiring) — vue-material-design-icons is not installed is the honest form of what I reported as ConductionNL/.github#233, where the same condition produced 43 confident FAILs claiming Calendar, Trophy and Earth "do not exist". Fixed upstream in the meantime.

gate-54 relation-dialect passes here — the nested-property false positive I hit while measuring is closed by ConductionNL/.github#255.

The l10n change is the rename, not a retranslation

Confirmed mechanically, since this is the part that would be easy to get wrong:

$ git diff origin/development...HEAD -- l10n/ | grep -E Settings?:
(no output — zero + or - lines for either key)

Not one of the 35 existing Setting / Settings nav translations was touched. They are correct because the domain concept now has its own word:

de  Setting -> Einstellung    World  -> Spielwelt
de  Settings-> Einstellungen  Worlds -> Spielwelten
fr  Setting -> Paramètre      World  -> Univers
fr  Settings-> Paramètres     Worlds -> Univers

The English source word changed; World / Worlds are new keys whose translations are derived from each locale's own existing domain rendering of the phrase keys ("Alle Spielwelten" → Spielwelt(en), "Tous les univers" → Univers).

Can-fail proof for test:l10n, both arms

mutation	result
drop World from l10n/en.json	l10n-check: FAIL, exit 1 — used in source but MISSING
drop Worlds from l10n/de.json only	l10n-parity: FAIL, exit 1 — de: 1 missing key(s)
both restored	exit 0

test:l10n, check:specs, lint, stylelint all exit 0.
