Feature Request: i18n support for slash command descriptions

Problem

Chinese-speaking users see English-only descriptions for slash commands (e.g. /help, /compact, /new, /model). Translating the command names themselves is impractical due to platform limitations (Discord name length limits, Telegram restrictions, user muscle memory).

Proposed Solution

Add an optional i18n description field to defineChatCommand() (or equivalent registration):

defineChatCommand({
  name: "compact",
  description: "Compact the session context.",
  descriptionZhCN: "压缩当前会话上下文",
  descriptionZhTW: "壓縮目前工作階段上下文",
})

Benefits

  • Command names stay in English (no platform/API issues)
  • Web UI and native channel menus can display Chinese descriptions based on user locale
  • No backend logic changes required
  • Each plugin/extension can add its own translations independently
  • Backward compatible (existing description field unchanged)

Affected areas

  • src/auto-reply/commands-registry.shared.ts (core built-in commands)
  • src/tui/commands.ts (TUI commands)
  • Channel plugin command registrations (Discord, Telegram, Mattermost, Slack, etc.)
  • Command spec types in src/plugins/types.ts
