Delete the dead `configPanel.*` (~16 keys) and `renderer.*` (~13 keys) i18n namespaces across the ten packs

[yinlianghui]

Part of #4730 — the second mechanically-safe carve-out of its CONFIRMED tier, following #4742 (workflow.* + publicForm.demo.*, landed as PR #4743). The umbrella stays open for console.objectView.* (maintainer decision pending) and the partially-live namespaces (search, table, report, form, appDesigner — key-level trims, not whole-namespace).

PM spot-check (2026-08-15, origin/main post-PR #4743)

Both namespaces pass the #4658 / PR #4731 evidence standard at the whole-namespace level:

1. configPanel.* (16 keys: save/discard/close/layout/columns/gap/rowHeight/data/refreshInterval/appearance/title/showDescription/theme/configuration/general/advanced) — a dashboard-widget config-panel vocabulary. Zero t() call sites repo-wide; no component named *ConfigPanel* exists anywhere in packages/*/src — the panel this vocabulary was written for either never landed or was replaced.
2. renderer.* (13 keys: noPageSchema/noFormSchema/noDashboardSchema/pageRendering/dashboardRendering/formRenderingMode/formRenderingFor/createRecord/editRecord/page/dashboard/save/cancel) — SchemaRenderer placeholder/status vocabulary. Zero t() call sites, and the English strings have no hardcoded twin anywhere either (grep "No page schema provided" etc. → zero hits outside packs) — unlike workflow.*, the messages themselves are gone from the product, which is the stronger form of dead.

Umbrella measurement agrees: configPanel 16 CONFIRMED / 0 NEEDS-REVIEW, renderer 13 CONFIRMED / 0 NEEDS-REVIEW.

Deliverables

• Re-run node scripts/check-i18n-dead-keys.mjs at your tree first (numbers may have drifted); verify every key in both namespaces is CONFIRMED-tier; if any key has gained a reader, exclude it and say so.
• Delete both namespaces from all ten packs; post-deletion the dead-keys report lists neither; check-i18n-call-site-keys stays green; check-i18n-en-drift abstains.
• Check the i18n test fixtures (ellipsis-glyph-3878, untranslated-identity-4376, and any other key-pinning fixture) for mentions — handle per the Delete the two spot-verified dead i18n namespaces: workflow.* (54 keys) and publicForm.demo.* (36 keys) across the ten packs #4742 precedent: a fixture pinning those specific keys gets its rows deleted with reasoning; the ellipsis census note explains count drops.
• Check both i18n baseline JSONs (i18n-en-drift-baseline.json, i18n-call-site-key-baseline.json) name no key in either namespace.
• Changeset: @object-ui/i18n patch stating counts and that no reader exists.

Out of scope

console.objectView.*, the partially-live namespaces (search has 7 live call sites in SearchResultsPage.tsx; table/report/form have NEEDS-REVIEW entries), red-ifying the script.

PR discipline

PR body line 1: Part of #4730 — no closing keyword; line 2: Fixes #<this issue> as the sole closing keyword.

 "summary": "Deleted configPanel.* (16 keys) and renderer.* (13 keys) from all ten locale packs (330 deletions, 33 lines per pack) plus a @object-ui/i18n patch changeset. Re-measured first: both namespaces were 16/16 and 13/13 CONFIRMED with zero NEEDS-REVIEW at this tree, so no key was excluded. Post-deletion the dead-keys report drops exactly 29 keys (2839 to 2810 pack keys, 294 to 265 CONFIRMED, NEEDS-REVIEW unchanged at 238) with no other key entering or leaving either tier.",

 "Re-measure before edit: dead-keys report at this tree scored configPanel 16 CONFIRMED / 0 NR and renderer 13 CONFIRMED / 0 NR, matching the card. No key had gained a reader; nothing excluded.",

 "Zero textual footprint: fixed-string grep of all 29 keys repo-wide returns NOTHING outside packages/i18n/src/locales/ (cleaner than the #4742 round, which had four fixture mentions).",
 "renderer.* hardcoded-twin check: 'No page schema provided', 'No form schema provided', 'No dashboard schema provided', 'Page rendering', 'Dashboard rendering', 'Form rendering in' and the templated 'for record {' each return zero hits outside the packs; packages/react/src/SchemaRenderer.tsx imports no translation hook.",
 "FALSIFIED sub-claim (see deviations): the card's 'no *ConfigPanel* component exists anywhere in packages/*/src' is wrong — four exist. Replaced with a sharper check: the two panels whose wording matches configPanel.* (plugin-dashboard WidgetConfigPanel.tsx, DashboardConfigPanel.tsx) import no translation hook and hardcode English; the two that do use i18n read other namespaces (ViewConfigPanel -> console.objectView.*, ReportConfigPanel -> common.* + report.editor.*). The deletion premise is unaffected.",
 "Key-pinning fixtures: ellipsis-glyph-3878 CONVERGED_KEYS (33 entries) and untranslated-identity-4376 LEGITIMATE_IDENTITIES contain none of the 29 keys, and no other file in packages/i18n/src pins them. Nothing to delete, no census note needed.",
 "Both baselines clean: scripts/i18n-en-drift-baseline.json and scripts/i18n-call-site-key-baseline.json name no key in either namespace (grep count 0 in both).",
 "Reverse verification (fixture-guard form inapplicable, no fixture changed): with the fix committed, de.ts alone restored to origin/main. Predicted red; observed red — 'de defines no key that en lacks' / 'de has 29 key(s) absent from en'. Restored from the branch; git diff --stat HEAD empty; suite re-run green from the restored state.",
 "Deletion script asserted the closing line of each block was exactly ' },' and that each block held 16/13 keys, no comments, no nesting, in all ten packs — uniform 18 + 15 lines removed per pack."

Searched first: #4024 and #1713 are the same class but closed and about other files; no open issue covers these two. States explicitly that the deletion neither creates nor deepens the gap."
