The account has had a `locale` since the beginning and it only chose which grammar quick add read a line with — so picking English changed nothing anybody could see, and the field said so honestly: "Sprog i hurtig tilføjelse". It says "Sprog" now, because it means it. Every component goes through `t()`. Danish is the source: a key missing from English falls through to Danish rather than to the key, because a Danish sentence in an English screen can be read and `settings.notifications.title` cannot. `tag()` is the single place `Intl` is asked. Before, `'da-DK'` was written into a dozen components, and that is the half of a translation that gets left behind — an English interface still saying "24. aug." is exactly the shape of a job half done. There is a smoke test that switches to English and refuses to see a Danish month name in the calendar's heading. Colour and theme names are keys now. `colors.js` keeps its ids untouched — they are what the database stores, and `internal/store` reads them out of that file — but `name` is `'color.tomato'`, resolved where it is drawn. The Inbox keeps its name. It is a project row the server creates at signup, not a string in the interface, and it can be renamed like any other project. Four copies of "3 hours ago" became one, in `web/src/lib/when.js`. They had already drifted: one said "aldrig logget ind", another "aldrig", and two stopped at days where the others carried on to a date. Routes stay Danish. `/indstillinger`, `/projekt`, `/uddelegeret` are bookmarks and they are in every smoke test; translating them buys nothing and costs both.

The SvelteKit PWA. Not written yet — this directory holds its place so the Docker build has something to copy, and so the frontend stage can tell "not built yet" apart from "the build failed".
The Dockerfile builds this directory when it finds a package.json here, and
otherwise emits a placeholder page. So adding the real app is exactly: put a
SvelteKit project in this directory whose npm run build produces build/.
What it needs to be
- SvelteKit,
adapter-static, output inbuild/. The Go binary embeds that directory at compile time and serves it, falling back toindex.htmlso client-side routes survive a reload. - A PWA: installable, offline reading of already-cached lists, swipe gestures for complete and schedule.
- Nordic minimalism. Dark by default, light available. One accent colour, everything else neutral. Runic mark for Verdande.
- Optimistic on every local action. No spinner ever appears for something the browser could already know the answer to.
Talking to the backend
Same origin — the Go binary serves both. /api/v1 for REST, /api/v1/ws for the
live sync. Session cookie is httpOnly, so the frontend never handles the token
itself.
During development, run the backend on 8080 and point the Vite dev server's proxy at it:
VERDANDE_DATA_DIR=./data VERDANDE_DEV=true go run ./cmd/verdande
