# 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
- 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
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.
