Issues encountered

• \x08 control character in "spamwords" msgid — the string For example, if you want to prevent edits containing the domain <code>t.co</code>, add <code>(\b|https://|http://)t\.co</code> to the spamwords list. contains a literal backspace byte (0x08) where the source clearly intended a regex word-boundary \b. Per instructions, left msgstr empty for every language in this batch (18 of the 23 languages had this string in their untranslated pool; es/hr/ko/sc/tl already had it translated or didn't have it pending). This is already tracked as #21 — no duplicate issue filed.

Commands that failed

None. Pre-flight, branch creation, PR creation, apply/fix/validate/test/compile all succeeded on the first attempt for every language.

Improvisations / deviations from instructions

• None. gh pr create printed a Warning: 24 uncommitted changes notice — this refers to a pre-existing, already-synced diff in messages.pot/locale/*/messages.po (comment/line-wrap reformatting from an upstream sync/extract run that predates this session, not anything generated by this run). That diff was carried on this branch and included in the batch commit alongside the new translations, consistent with "the .po files are already synced with the latest messages.pot."

Suggested workflow improvements

• None beyond what's already tracked in Source .pot bug: literal \x08 control character in spamwords msgid #21. This was a very small batch (2–3 strings per language) so most of the standard failure modes (apply-0, validate failure, test failure, fix clearing entries) never triggered.
