<issue_title>i18n 路由和服务注册机制需修正，开发和生产环境统一自动化/健壮化</issue_title>
<issue_description># i18n 插件注册机制需修正，生产/开发环境均需架构优化

背景

当前 ObjectStack 平台在 objectstack.config.ts 中注册多应用时，i18n 路由和翻译数据的加载存在关键问题：

没有显式注册 I18nServicePlugin 时，DevPlugin 会用简易 stub 替代，导致路由与数据流不一致；

DispatcherPlugin 为 /api/v1/i18n/* 路由注册 handler，但 handler 访问到的 i18n 服务不是正确的数据源；

翻译数据虽然在 AppPlugin 启动时从元数据 bundle（manifest/translations）自动加载，但 REST 路由 handler 获取不到这些数据；

locale code 不匹配时没有 fallback 或提示，容易导致误判数据缺失；

生产环境下如果没有注册 I18nServicePlugin，同样会导致 i18n 路由空数据（或直接 404）——这不是开发模式独有问题。

复现方式

在 monorepo 根配置中注册多个 App（如 Todo/CRM），但未添加 I18nServicePlugin。

启动 pnpm dev（或 serve --dev）后访问：

/api/v1/i18n/locales 返回空数组。

/api/v1/i18n/translations/zh-CN 返回空 {}。

/api/v1/i18n/translations/en 也可能为空。

如果手动添加 I18nServicePlugin，但包导入路径有问题（ESM/CJS），直接报错：
Cannot find module '@objectstack/service-i18n/dist/index.mjs'

问题分析

i18n 插件没有自动检测或兜底注册；

DevPlugin/生产环境都依赖 Dispatcher 的 handler，但 handler 并不保证 i18n 数据源一致；

翻译数据的加载过程与 REST 路由注册过程解耦，不易于故障排查。

期望修正

平台层应自动检测并优先注册 I18nServicePlugin——只要有多语言配置/翻译数据即自动启用 file-i18n 或 fallback；

DevPlugin 应检测 stack definition 是否有 i18n/translations，自动用 I18nServicePlugin（不是 stub）注册 i18n 服务和路由；

生产环境应明确提示缺失 i18n 服务的风险（路由缺失/数据为空），并建议手动注册或提供 fallback adapter；

REST 路由 handler 与 i18n 服务实例始终保持一致，避免实例冲突（多插件/多实例时）；

locale code 应增强健壮性，支持 fallback 和错误提示（如 zh→zh-CN、es→es-ES）。

验收标准

无论开发还是生产，配置中未注册 i18n 插件时能有清晰错误提示或自动 fallback。

路由 handler 获取到的 i18n 数据与 bundle translations 保持一致。

访问 /api/v1/i18n/locales 与 /api/v1/i18n/translations/* 均正确展示翻译数据。

文档和 CHANGELOG 增加 i18n 插件注册机制说明及故障排查建议。

18:30:11.838 @objectstack/cli:build: src/...

Fixed in 8e31dd9. The CLI package uses tsc for building (not tsup), so a static string literal in import('@objectstack/service-i18n') causes TS2307 when the package isn't in CLI's dependencies. Used a variable indirection (const i18nPkg = '@objectstack/service-i18n'; await import(i18nPkg)) to prevent tsc from attempting module resolution at compile time — matching how other truly optional dynamic imports work. Full monorepo build (all 37 packages) now passes.

Pull request overview

This PR improves i18n ergonomics across ObjectStack by introducing locale code fallback (e.g., zh → zh-CN), standardizing the in-memory i18n fallback behavior, and auto-registering the production i18n plugin when translation config is detected.

Changes:

Add resolveLocale() and integrate locale fallback into createMemoryI18n, plus extend core fallback tests.
Enhance runtime i18n REST handling (translations + labels) and add translation fallback tests.
Auto-register I18nServicePlugin in DevPlugin and CLI serve when translations/i18n config is present; improve AppPlugin diagnostics around missing i18n service.

pnpm-lock.yaml: Language not supported

+            let translations = i18nService.getTranslations(locale);
+
+            // Locale fallback: try resolving to an available locale when

The translations endpoint only attempts locale resolution when getTranslations(locale) returns an empty object. This breaks with createMemoryI18n, which now resolves locale internally (e.g. requesting zh can return zh-CN translations without being empty), causing the response to report locale: "zh" even though the payload is for zh-CN and requestedLocale is omitted. Consider resolving the locale up-front (using getLocales() + resolveLocale) and then calling getTranslations(resolved) so the response locale always matches the actual translation bundle (and include requestedLocale when it differs).

+      const hasI18nPlugin = plugins.some(
+        (p: any) => p.name === 'com.objectstack.service.i18n'
+            || p.constructor?.name === 'I18nServicePlugin'
+      );


hasI18nPlugin only detects instantiated plugin objects. serve.ts also supports plugins declared as strings (package names) later in the same command, so a config that includes '@objectstack/service-i18n' as a string can lead to the i18n plugin being auto-registered here and then registered again when iterating over plugins. Update the detection to also handle string entries (e.g. exact match / substring), or check kernel service/plugin registration state before auto-registering.

Suggested change

const hasI18nPlugin = plugins.some(

(p: any) => p.name === 'com.objectstack.service.i18n'

|| p.constructor?.name === 'I18nServicePlugin'

);

if (!p) return false;

// String plugin declaration, e.g. '@objectstack/service-i18n'

if (typeof p === 'string') {

const normalized = p.toLowerCase();

return (

normalized === '@objectstack/service-i18n' ||

normalized.includes('service-i18n')

+            // Locale fallback for labels endpoint
+            const availableLocales = typeof i18nService.getLocales === 'function'
+                ? i18nService.getLocales() : [];
+            const resolved = resolveLocale(locale, availableLocales);
+            if (resolved) locale = resolved;


New locale fallback behavior was added for the labels endpoint, but the handleI18n test suite doesn’t currently cover a fallback case (e.g. /labels/account/zh resolving to zh-CN, or case-insensitive matching). Adding a focused test will prevent regressions and confirm the resolved locale is reflected in the response.

+  (`zh` → `zh-CN`). Used by `createMemoryI18n`, `HttpDispatcher.handleI18n()`, and
+  `I18nServicePlugin` route handlers.


This changelog entry claims resolveLocale() is used by I18nServicePlugin route handlers, but the current I18nServicePlugin.registerI18nRoutes() implementation returns translations for the requested locale without any fallback. Either update the plugin routes to use resolveLocale (and document behavior), or adjust this changelog text so it matches the actual implementation.

 ### Changed


There are two consecutive ### Changed sections in the Unreleased block, which makes the changelog harder to read and can confuse release tooling/readers. Consider merging these into a single ### Changed section (or renaming one of them if it’s meant to be a different category).
