feat(theseus/translate): new sidebar add-on — right-click Translate selection Adds a bundled add-on `translate` with a sidebar panel + a right-click "Translate selection" menu item. Two swappable backends: - LibreTranslate (default) — free MIT engine; the panel's Settings tab lets the user point at any instance (public or self-hosted) and drop in an API key if one's required. - Google (unofficial free endpoint at translate.googleapis.com/ translate_a/single) — no key, wide coverage, but unofficial and Google can break it any time. Opt-in fallback. Flow: user selects text on a page, right-clicks -> "Translate selection". Add-on's context-menu handler stashes the selection under storage.__pending and calls api.revealSidebar("main"); the panel loads, drains __pending on first paint, and translates. Ctrl/Cmd+Enter in the input textarea also translates. Source + target language choices, browser-language default target, swap button, copy-to- clipboard on the output, settings gear. Depends on a new "context-menu-item" capability + api.revealSidebar hook in addons-host.js / main.js. Those wiring changes are prepared but not committed here — a parallel session is refactoring the same functions concurrently, so the safe path is to land translate/ first and let the wiring go in alongside the next host-facing commit. Until the wiring lands, the manifest's "context-menu-item" cap is silently dropped (per validateManifest's unknown-caps policy) and the sidebar panel + the panel's translation UI still work standalone — the right-click entry point is what's gated.

translate 0.1.2 → 0.1.3: real icon, bigger text, zoom, auto-translate on language change Auto-translate: changing either language only called saveUi(), so the pane below kept showing the previous language's result with nothing to say it was stale — you had to notice and press Translate. Both selects now re-run the translation, guarded on empty input and on source === target (which would only echo the input back). Text size: the panes were 13.5px, small for reading a paragraph in a language you don't know well, which is the entire job. Base is now 15px, driven by a --tsize custom property so both panes stay matched. Zoom: −/+ either side of a percentage in the header, 70–220% in steps of 10, clamped with the buttons disabling at each end. Click the percentage to reset. Ctrl/Cmd with +, - or 0 does the same from either pane. Persists per-machine alongside the language choice. Icon: a globe with an A tile and a 文 tile, replacing the 🌐 emoji that was indistinguishable from every other globe in the dock. Drawn against the 16px and 18px rasterizations rather than at a comfortable size — the first pass used a font glyph for 文 and it turned to grey mush at 16px, so the strokes are hand-drawn paths thick enough to survive. Also drops the hardcoded icon in registerSidebarPanel, which would otherwise shadow the manifest's mark. Verified in a harness with a stubbed host API: language change fires exactly one request, the two guards fire none, zoom clamps and persists, and the layout holds at sidebar width.
