Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Summary

AI-assisted: Yes. Implemented with Codex, then reviewed locally.

Describe the problem and fix in 2–5 bullets:

• Problem: the Control UI overview could show mixed Spanish and English because several overview-entry translation keys were missing from ui/src/i18n/locales/es.ts, and ui/src/ui/views/overview-cards.ts still hardcoded English status copy.
• Why it matters: users selecting Spanish saw obvious mixed-language UI on the first Control UI surfaces, which made the i18n experience look broken.
• What changed: added the missing Spanish translations for the reproduced overview/navigation/palette surfaces, and replaced the overview card hardcoded English strings with localized t(...) keys.
• What did NOT change (scope boundary): this PR does not translate the broader usage.* Spanish surface; remaining untranslated usage strings are outside the issue's reproduced overview-entry scope.

User-visible / Behavior Changes

• Spanish locale now localizes the overview connection helper, overview cards, event log/log tail headings, and the command palette/section labels touched on the entry surfaces.
• Overview cards no longer show hardcoded English snippets like 0 jobs or Active: 0 under Spanish locale.

Repro + Verification

Environment

• OS: macOS 15 local dev
• Runtime/container: Node 22.16.0 / pnpm 10.23.0
• Model/provider: N/A
• Integration/channel (if any): Control UI only
• Relevant config (redacted): rendered overview with settings.locale = "es"

Steps

1. Load the Control UI overview with Spanish selected.
2. Render disconnected overview surfaces with usage/session/skills/event-log data.
3. Inspect the connection helper, overview cards, event log/log tail headings, and palette/navigation copy.

Expected

• The reproduced overview-entry surfaces remain Spanish-only.

Actual

• Before this change, those surfaces could mix in English strings such as How to connect, Event Log, Gateway Logs, 0 jobs, and Active: 0.

Evidence

Attach at least one:

• Failing test/log before + passing after
• Trace/log snippets
• Screenshot/recording
• Perf numbers (if relevant)

Human Verification (required)

What you personally verified (not just CI), and how:

• Verified scenarios: pnpm test -- ui/src/ui/views/chat.test.ts passes with the new Spanish overview regression assertions; direct translation lookups for the added navigation/palette keys also pass in that test file.
• Edge cases checked: zero cron jobs, zero enabled skills, populated event log/log tail surfaces, and locale reset back to English after the Spanish assertions.
• What you did not verify: manual browser walkthrough on Ubuntu/Linux; broader usage.* Spanish completeness beyond the reproduced overview-entry surfaces.

Review Conversations

• I replied to or resolved every bot review conversation I addressed in this PR.
• I left unresolved only the conversations that still need reviewer or maintainer judgment.

If a bot review conversation is addressed by this PR, resolve that conversation yourself. Do not leave bot review conversation cleanup for maintainers.

Compatibility / Migration

• Backward compatible? (Yes/No): Yes
• Config/env changes? (Yes/No): No

Failure Recovery (if this breaks)

• How to disable/revert this change quickly: revert commit 61a5f1be68.
• Files/config to restore: ui/src/i18n/locales/es.ts, ui/src/i18n/locales/en.ts, ui/src/ui/views/overview-cards.ts, ui/src/ui/views/chat.test.ts
• Known bad symptoms reviewers should watch for: overview cards or connection helper switching back to English under Spanish locale.

Risks and Mitigations

List only real risks for this PR. Add/remove entries as needed. If none, write None.

• Risk: broader usage.* Spanish gaps still exist and may still surface mixed English outside the specific overview-entry surfaces fixed here.
  • Mitigation: scope is intentionally limited to the reproduced issue surface; the regression test asserts those overview-entry surfaces no longer fall back to English.

Additional verification notes:

• codex review --base origin/main was rerun locally and did not produce any new actionable findings; it only kept scanning broader untranslated Spanish usage strings outside this issue's scope.
• pnpm build is currently red on unrelated repo baseline issues (@whiskeysockets/baileys unresolved jimp).
• pnpm check is currently red on unrelated repo baseline issues in extensions/matrix, extensions/openai, extensions/tlon, and src/agents/anthropic-vertex-stream.ts.
• pnpm test full-suite currently hits unrelated repo baseline failures in src/acp/control-plane/manager.test.ts and src/plugin-sdk/subpaths.test.ts.
