`ui-question`'s node half called `ctx.tools.register` on the host context.
`ScopedLayers.merge()` combines the global layer with the agent's exact-scope
layer, and an unscoped registration lands in the global one — so the tool
reached every agent no matter which preset composed it. `core-web`, sold as
a two-tool benchmark surface, really presented three, and a locally authored
`bash-only` preset presented two.
Rendering a question is a host UI capability; having the tool is an agent
capability, and only a preset decides that. The node half is now empty and
the `tool-ask-user` row moved into the presets that want it. The TUI keeps
its own row, having no presets.
The web composition test now asserts the global tool layer is EMPTY, which
is the invariant that would have caught this: any tool outside a preset
reaches every agent.
Each package ships its zh/en dictionaries as satisfies-typed pairs (zh is
the key-set source of truth; en is checked complete against it), merges its
namespace into LocaleNamespaceMap, and declares locale: NS at register —
components read the framework-injected typed t seat instead of a
hand-carried inject member. Overlapping verbatim words (retry, submit,
submitting) drop out of package dictionaries in favor of the shared common
vocabulary; the question composer stores validation feedback as dictionary
keys so shown feedback follows a locale switch.
Registrations declare a dictionary namespace (locale: NS) and the renderer
synthesizes a typed t prop for the entry's component from the installed
LocaleFace; the seat binding is re-derived per locale revision, so a language
switch hands out fresh t references and memoized consumers re-render through
ordinary shallow comparison. LocaleNamespaceMap is the declare-merge table
(namespace -> dictionary key union); TranslateNS<'ns'> is the
namespace-addressed translate type (namespace keys plus the shared common
vocabulary), carried by the t seat and by the locale service's typed bind.
LocaleService implements the face (lookup ns -> common -> zh -> key,
revision-carrying snapshots with subscriber isolation) and installs it
through the boot-once slots.installLocale seam, mirroring the renderer
install. The typed register(ns, {zh, en}) overload checks each dictionary
against the namespace's key union and requires every shipped locale, so a
missing or extra key and an unbalanced translation are compile errors.
Dictionary registration bumps the face revision without emitting
locale/change — the event now means exactly 'the active locale switched',
so registration-heavy boot cannot storm event listeners.
