fix(i18n): converge the merged Loading… group to one rendering per language

[claude]

Fixes#5972

objectui#3878 converged all ten packs on the typographic ellipsis and, as a side effect, merged the ASCII Loading... group into the U+2026 Loading… group. Nobody re-measured the wording afterwards. This converges each pack to one rendering across that merged group and pins it beside the glyph rule that created it.

Working the grading ruling (concentrated triage, 2026-08-25), not the card body's "Suggested disposition", which the ruling superseded.

Population, re-derived on today's tree

Not taken from the card's table. Flattened all ten packs from source and selected every key whose en value is byte-identically Loading…, on origin/main @ 22ba9271f:

10 keys — lookup.loading, common.loading, fields.recipient.loading, grid.import.historyLoading, grid.bulk.loading, detail.loading, report.loading, dashboard.loading, auth.device.loading, approvalsInbox.loadingMore.

Tallies matched the filer's reading exactly: de four renderings, ko two, ar two; en/zh/ja/fr/es/pt/ru unanimous at ten.

What moved — 9 values, copy only

pack	to	keys
de	Wird geladen…	detail.loading, report.loading (were Laden…); approvalsInbox.loadingMore (was Lädt…)
ko	로딩 중…	fields.recipient.loading, grid.bulk.loading, grid.import.historyLoading, approvalsInbox.loadingMore (were 불러오는 중…)
ar	جارٍ التحميل…	common.loading, detail.loading (were جاري التحميل…)

Each direction is the group majority and independently supported:

• de — the passive is also the pack's dominant register for in-flight states generally: 37 values whose en is a bare gerund render as Wird ….
• ko — matches the pack's own pattern. 불러오는 중 is what ko uses when the string names the thing being loaded (객체를 불러오는 중…, 에이전트를 불러오는 중…, 초대를 불러오는 중…); the bare form, which is what all ten of these are, is 로딩 중 (그리드 로딩 중…, 차트 로딩 중…, 양식 로딩 중…).
• ar — see the classification below.

No key is added or removed, no en value is touched, and every value keeps its U+2026. check:i18n-drift says so directly: "No en value changed in this range."

The ar pair is an orthography split, not a wording split — reported as its own class

The dispatch asked whether the ar difference is a separate class rather than one more majority vote. It is.

جارٍ and جاري are not two translations; they are two spellings of one word, differing by a single code point at the end of the first word. جارٍ (jārin) is the indefinite منقوص participle — final yāʾ dropped, tanwīn on the rāʾ — which is the prescriptive MSA form; جاري retains the yāʾ and is the definite/annexed form, common informally.

The consequence that matters: the split does not respect this group's boundary. Counted pack-wide with a Unicode-aware standalone-word match (positive and negative controls run, including the التجارية substring trap an ASCII-boundary regex falls into), the participle is جارٍ ×90 against جاري ×10 — and only 2 of those 10 are in this group. Converging the 2 is what the ruling asks for and what the pin can hold; the other 8 are filed as objectui#6610 rather than smuggled in here, the same way #3878 fenced off the per-package fallback tables. Read this PR's green as a statement about this group only.

The fork: deauth.device.loading stays Lade…

The card floated two members as possibly deliberate. Measurement splits them.

approvalsInbox.loadingMore — hypothesis falsified, converged. The theory was that a continuation load may want its own wording. In de, the namespace's other four in-flight states are all passive (Wird genehmigt…, Wird abgelehnt…, Wird zurückgezogen…, Wird erneut eingereicht…), so Lädt… broke with its own neighbours rather than marking anything — converging it restores the namespace. In ko, the same 불러오는 중… sits on three plainly initial loads (fields.recipient.loading, grid.bulk.loading, grid.import.historyLoading), so it cannot have been marking continuation either.

auth.device.loading — genuine fork, not picked.apps/console/src/pages/auth/DeviceAuthPage.tsx renders all three of that namespace's in-flight states, and de writes all three in the same first-person voice: Genehmige…, Ablehne…, Lade…. The first two are outside this group (their en is Approving…/Denying…), so converging the third alone would leave that one screen reading Genehmige… / Ablehne… / Wird geladen… — a new same-screen inconsistency manufactured by the pass meant to remove one. Resolving it the other way means moving the whole namespace to the passive, which is a copy-voice decision over keys this card does not fence in.

So it is held out by name, in LOADING_GROUP_FORKS, with the reason. The decision is filed as objectui#6611 — which also records a second thing found while measuring: Ablehne… is not a grammatical German form (ablehnen is separable; first-person singular is ich lehne ab). That weakens, without settling, the reading that the first person was deliberate here. objectui#6611 stays open either way; this PR does not act on it.

The pin, and proof it can go red

packages/i18n/src/__tests__/ellipsis-glyph-3878.test.ts gains a second describe. #3878's own assertions are untouched — the glyph invariant, the CONVERGED_KEYS census, the four drift waivers and the placeholder check all stand exactly as they were; this adds a rule beside them.

The new block derives the group from en and asserts membership and per-language value counts before asserting uniformity, because a uniformity assertion over an empty set passes while checking nothing. Ablation, run from the committed tree with a restoring trap, each mutation confirmed on disk by grepping for the injected and removed text and each restore proven by an empty git diff HEAD:

leg	mutation	predicted	observed
A	dereport.loading back to Laden…	uniformity red	RED — "de: 2 renderings — Wird geladen… on 8 keys | Laden… on report.loading"
B	enreport.loading → Loading report…	membership red	RED — "the group emptied or changed size: expected 9 to be 10", and the uniformity assertion also fired on en (diagnostics multiplied — the predicted direction held, plus one)
C	deauth.device.loading → Wird geladen…	fork pin red	RED — "de auth.device.loading moved — update or drop its LOADING_GROUP_FORKS row"

Leg C is the point of the exemption: the waiver cannot outlive its reason. The pin asserts both the forked value and that it still differs from the converged rendering, so converging it later fails until the row is deleted.

No rebuild was needed for the ablation and none could have masked it: the test imports ../locales/index — a relative source import, not the package exports field — and packages/i18n has no vitest.config.* of its own, so nothing resolves through dist/.

Verification

All of the below ran on the final commit, daa1f57, with a clean tree.

pnpm exec vitest run --maxWorkers=2 packages/i18n/
Test Files 56 passed (56)
Tests 917 passed (917)
pnpm --filter @object-ui/i18n run type-check (tsc --noEmit && tsc -p tsconfig.test.json)
pnpm --filter @object-ui/i18n run lint
pnpm check:control-bytes ✅ OK (scanned 5455 tracked text file(s); skipped 85 binary)
pnpm check:i18n-keys Scanned 1573 files, 3786 call sites: 2586/2586 literal keys resolve
pnpm check:i18n-drift No en value changed in this range.
node scripts/check-changeset-presence.mjs ✅ 4 source file(s) of 1 released package changed, 1 changeset declared
node scripts/check-changeset-no-major.mjs ✅ No changeset declares a `major` bump.

Chained with && under the shared verify lock, whose verdict line certifies the whole chain: VERDICT command-exit 0.

The new test file really is type-checked rather than excluded: tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --listFiles lists ellipsis-glyph-3878.test.ts in the program.

Lint is a narrowed run, and the narrowing is measured, not assumed.pnpm --filter @object-ui/i18n run lint is eslint . inside the only package this PR touches. Population read from eslint's own file selection rather than my guess: --format json reports 82 files under packages/i18n, 0 errors and 34 pre-existing warnings, with all four edited files present at 0/0. Invariance for everything not in the diff: eslint.config.js configures no type-aware linting (no parserOptions.project, no projectService), so a string-literal change in three locale files plus one new test file cannot move the verdict on any file it does not itself contain. The repo-wide farm runs in CI regardless.

Changeset: .changeset/5972-loading-group-per-language-uniformity.md, patch on @object-ui/i18n (user-visible copy; never major, per the fixed-group rule).

Out of scope, filed rather than fixed

• objectui#6610 — the ar participle spelled two ways pack-wide (92:8 after this PR); the 8 remaining are outside this group and ungated. Not addressed here.
• objectui#6611 — the deauth.device in-flight register, this PR's reported fork, plus the ungrammatical Ablehne…. Not addressed here.

Neither is touched by this branch. The card body's other open question — whether approvalsInbox.loadingMore's en should become Loading more… — is the forked outcome the dispatch fenced off, so it is reported and not taken; note the surface already reads Load more on the button (approvalsInbox.loadMore) with Loading… while it fetches, which is coherent as it stands.
