What changed

Fixed

• A user who had chosen Turkish saw an English admin panel on any second
  device. The language on the account (users.locale) was written by
  Profile → Save and then never read. Saving also set it in this browser's
  localStorage, so it looked right on the machine you saved it on; sign in
  from another browser, another device or a private window and the account's
  choice was ignored and the browser's language used instead.

  It was invisible while tr was the fallback for everybody — a Turkish user
  got Turkish either way, from the default rather than from their preference.
  v0.33.0 made the fallback en, which was the right change, and this
  never-read preference surfaced behind it.

  The account's language is applied wherever the user is loaded, ranked below a
  choice made on this device (the language switcher writes only locally, so it
  is the newer decision) and above the instance default.

• A red CI suite could not stop a release, and had not. release.yml now
  calls ci.yml as its first job and nothing publishes until it is green.

  Until now CI ran on the branch push and the release workflow on the tag
  pushed two seconds later — in parallel, unaware of each other, with no
  required status check anywhere in the repository. Measured 2026-09-06: CI
  had been red since v0.31.0 and four tags shipped over it, carrying the
  locale bug above. None of the release steps would have caught it: they check
  the README, the screenshots, the links, the anchors and the version
  manifests, and never run a test.

• 17-theme-locale.cy.ts asserted the account's language while measuring the
  browser's: with no stored choice the app fell back to browser detection,
  so it passed on a Turkish workstation and failed on an English CI runner. It
  now pins the browser to English, so only the saved preference can satisfy it.

• siteAssets.test.ts failed on every public CI run: site/ is withheld from
  the published tree, so the directory it compares does not exist there. It
  skips where the directory is absent and still gates where it is present. The
  failure also cascaded — the image-build job needs it, so v0.34.0's images
  were never verified on main.
