The shell is now a pure composition face: no dictionaries, no locale
dependency, and three new chrome content seats (settings.trigger /
settings.header / settings.close) whose slot content also carries the
accessible names (trigger text, dialog aria-labelledby, visually hidden
close label). ui-settings-general returns as the owner of copy that
belongs to no single feature: chrome content, the General section with
its item slot, and the settings dictionaries. Slot types split homes —
trigger/header/close/section live in the shell contract; the
settings.general.item entry moves to the locale package (the common
dependency of every item registrant), with ui-theme consuming it
through a re-export seam; the verbatim duplicate merges are gone and
the dependency graph is a clean DAG.
Full per-file coverage for the three settings packages: invariant
companions, store mirroring with revision guards, behavior-shaped
section/shell specs (props-fed, real store engine), and apply-level
suites on a real Context + SlotCore covering declaration-aware deferral
and HMR collapse recovery. All three registrants now judge presence on
the slot ledger instead of a local disposer, which went stale when a
parent redeclaration cascade removed the entry (ds-review-bot finding);
the locale re-register path keeps the same idempotence.
