# feat(i18n): Hebrew locale + full RTL support
## Summary
This PR adds full Hebrew (he) locale support to the UI, including a
complete translation of all user-facing strings and comprehensive RTL
layout support across all components.
## What was done
### Hebrew translation
- Full translation of all i18n message files for the `he` locale (17
translation files)
- Registered the language in the i18n system and the language picker
### RTL support
- Automatic direction detection (`dir="rtl"`) when Hebrew is selected
- Replaced physical CSS properties (`left`/`right`) with logical
equivalents (`inline-start`/`inline-end`) across the project
- Fixed resize direction, file path alignment, and textarea padding
- Fixed navigation button positioning in textarea for RTL
- Fixed scrollbar direction in RTL
- Fixed code block direction and selector alignment
- Fixed Monaco editor direction in the file viewer
- Auto-detect text direction in reasoning block (`dir="auto"` +
`unicode-bidi: plaintext`)
### Adapted components
- `session-layout` — sidebar and resize handle
- `prompt-input` — text direction and buttons
- `message-base` — message blocks and reasoning
- `message-timeline` — timeline bar
- `right-panel` — right side panel
- `tool-call` — tool call display
- `settings-screen` — settings page
- `selector` — selection component
- `instance-shell` — main shell

## Suggested testing
- Switch language to Hebrew and verify all strings are translated
- Verify RTL layout is correct across all screens (session, settings,
file viewer)
- Verify that English text inside a reasoning block is displayed LTR
- Switch back to English and verify everything returns to LTR

## Summary
- split the right panel, picker, and tool call secondary viewers into
smaller deferred chunks
- release hidden right-panel file buffers and stop tracking static
tool-call scrollers when they are not needed
- keep this branch focused on the remaining secondary viewer chunking
work now that the Monaco-specific chunking moved into PR 215
## Testing
- npm run build --workspace @codenomad/ui
## Summary
- lazy-load the markdown and diff render paths so they stop inflating
initial UI startup work
- move shared text rendering helpers out of the markdown path and keep
diff rendering on the deferred path
- defer the Monaco secondary viewers so the markdown and diff path no
longer keeps that work in the main bundle
## Follow-ups
- related fork follow-up: Pagecran/CodeNomad#1
- that follow-up is now independent on dev and only keeps the remaining
right panel, picker, and tool-call secondary chunking work
## Testing
- npm run typecheck --workspace @codenomad/ui
- npm run build --workspace @codenomad/ui
Add DOM instrumentation tags and harden VirtualItem visibility for hidden/zero-sized roots to prevent inactive instances from keeping heavy tool-call markup mounted; restore message stream virtualization margin.
Replace split/unified and context controls with icon toggles, add a word-wrap toggle (default on), and move the toolbar into the tab header to free vertical space.
Render SplitFilePanel consistently and move empty/loading messages into the viewer area so the right drawer keeps its standard layout even when there are no session diffs, no git changes, or files are still loading.
Split InstanceShell2 into focused shell modules (drawer chrome/resize, session context/cache, sidebar, right panel tabs/components) to improve maintainability while preserving behavior.
Use OpenCode v2 file APIs for browsing and Monaco DiffEditor for session snapshot diffs, with local baseline language metadata and optional CDN language loading.
Add a 3-state theme toggle in folder selection and instance tabs, and update tokens/styles so light mode has readable contrast. Sync MUI surfaces and Shiki highlighting to CSS variables to prevent stale colors when switching themes.
Adds an optional session filter bar to the left sidebar with title search across parent/child sessions and a scoped Select All. Introduces multi-select checkboxes, bulk delete with clear selection controls, and confirmation dialogs for both single and bulk deletions using the existing alert dialog flow. Updates session i18n strings across supported locales.
Converts hardcoded UI copy to i18n keys across the app, adds global translation for non-component modules, and splits the English catalog into feature modules with duplicate-key detection.
