Localisation slice 5: the catalog's copy model is MEASURED, not proposed (R-560)

10-localisation.md §7 goes from [DESIGN, proposed] to [FACT], with the numbers it was
specced against corrected — and one correction chose an instrument rather than a
footnote. The catalog has 1 032 copy strings, not 835. 832 carry a Hungarian letter,
which was right. But the ASCII-ONLY Hungarian is ~120 strings, not three: „Aldomain"
appears 53 times and „A szerver domain neve" 53 times, and the three the plan named
(„Igen"/„Nem"/„Nincs") do not occur in this catalog at all. An accent-only gate passes
every one of them inside an English block — R-565's blind spot arriving again in a
different repo.

New §10.6 records what was proven live rather than reasoned about: the English pages
show English; the seven Hungarian pages are byte-identical before and after the push
apart from the per-session CSRF token; and a 0.255.0 box with the block synced onto it
renders identically and logs no warning, in a 93-line window that contains the sync's
own lines, so the absence is evidence and not a dead log.

Rows R-589 (the update badge is Hungarian on an English page), R-590 (the data-folder
card's backup promise, likewise, and it is a promise about the customer's files),
R-591 (Stack.Copy() deep-copies five Meta fields and not the new I18n map — safe
today, which is precisely why it is a row), R-592 (three defects inside the new
catalog gate, closed the same session, each found by its own decoy). R-560 updated:
Parts A and B done, Part C waiting on the operator's read of the pilot.

STATUS asks for that read, and for the floor to 0.257.0.

 # STATUS — what works, what's broken, what's next
 
+**Updated 2026-09-20 — the apps can describe themselves in English. Three of them do; fifty wait for you.**
+
+> **Ready for a volunteer: yes.**
+
+**What changed.** On an English dashboard the last Hungarian left was the app text: each app's
+one-line description, its „what is it for" list, its „first steps", and the labels under every
+install setting. That text comes from the app catalog, and the catalog was Hungarian only.
+
+Now each app's file can carry an English block next to its Hungarian one, in the same file, so a
+reviewer sees one app whole. The box reads the English **line by line**: any line that has no English
+yet shows the Hungarian one, and a box running an older version ignores the block completely. That is
+what makes it safe to do fifty apps a batch at a time instead of all at once.
+
+**Three apps are done as a pilot** — PrivateBin, Paperless and RomM. I picked those three because
+between them they use every shape the mechanism has to handle, and because all three run on the demo
+box, so I could look at the real pages instead of reasoning about them.
+
+**What I checked, on the real boxes.** The three English app pages show English. The Hungarian pages
+are **identical, byte for byte**, before and after — seven pages, same size, same content. And on the
+second demo box, which runs an older version on purpose, the pages are identical too and its log says
+nothing: an old box simply does not see the new block.
+
+**Two things are still Hungarian on an English app page, and I did not fix them today** — the „up to
+date" tag on each app, and the sentence under a data folder that says whether it is backed up. Both
+come from the box's own code, not from the catalog. Rows are open for both. The second one matters
+more: it makes a promise about somebody's files.
+
+**Rows.** Four opened, one of them already closed.
+
+**Needs you — one read, ten minutes.** Before I translate the other fifty apps, please read the
+English of the three pilot apps (they are quoted in the catalog's report, and live on the demo box in
+English). Say "go", or say what to change in tone or wording. If the tone is wrong, catching it now
+costs ten minutes; catching it after fifty apps costs a day of rework.
+
+**If you do nothing:** nothing breaks. The three apps stay English, the other fifty stay Hungarian,
+and every Hungarian household sees exactly what it saw yesterday.
+
+**Also still open from before:** raise the box floor — now to **0.257.0**, so every box can read the
+English app text at all. Until the floor moves, only the demo box can. Nothing breaks if it waits.
+And whether to change the shared demo password.

 **Updated 2026-09-18 (night) — the new installer is published, and the box's screen speaks English too.**
