Node >= 21 exposes a global `navigator` reporting the machine's own language,
so gating detection on `navigator` let a non-browser boot of the client tree
resolve to `en` instead of the documented fallback; `window` is the browser
test. `navigator.languages` is spec-required but absent on some embedders and
older WebViews, where spreading it would throw at boot, so the walk tolerates
its absence and `navigator.language` covers that host.
The per-spec pin boilerplate collapses into one suite-level
`usePinnedBrowserLanguages('zh-CN')`, which owns the rationale in
dsh-client-test-runtime, and the English-browser e2e scenario now clears the
console warnings channel too — its page has no closing inventory spec.
A first visit resolved to Chinese regardless of the browser: LocaleService
read `dsh.locale` and fell straight back to `zh` when nothing was stored,
ignoring the languages the browser already states it reads.
The initial locale now resolves through three ordered sources — the persisted
preference, then `navigator` (first entry of the ordered language list whose
primary subtag names a shipped locale, so `zh-Hans-CN` -> zh and `en-GB` ->
en), then `FALLBACK_LOCALE`. An explicit choice still wins and nothing writes
the detected locale back to storage, so "has the user chosen?" stays a
question only the stored value answers.
Specs asserting the shipped Chinese copy now state the browser they assume:
the web e2e scenarios open their page with `locale: ZH_BROWSER_LOCALE`, and
package specs pin it through the new `pinBrowserLanguages` test helper.
`settings-chrome.e2e.ts` gains an English-browser scenario as the
assembled-app proof.
A jsdom slot test runtime for feature specs: a real Cordis Context, the
production SlotsService and web-react renderer, and typed session/workspace
doubles (TestSessions implements ISessions with FixtureSession sessions;
TestWorkspaces implements IWorkspaces), so the compiler flags fixture drift
when a production face changes. Fixtures feed plain data: list rows,
conversation snapshots, and ISession-typed behavior stubs; provide-bundle
materialization runs the shared SessionProvideChannel.
DOM snapshot support: declare()/renderSlot() mount a single slot inside a
data-slot wrapper for local .snap capture, and a snapshot serializer folds
CSS-module class hashes to their semantic locals and collapses svg internals
to a content fingerprint. The typed provide() constrains declared-service
fakes to Partial of the service's outward face.
