# 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
