jcoffey-dev 54b316ae36 Report the stale keys that are stale, and remove them
The check reported 41 stale keys per catalogue. Ten of them were.

The other 31 were strings held in constants and translated where they render --
t(b.description), t(group), t(c.label) -- so they reach t() as a variable and
there is no literal at the call site to find. The script already chased two of
those shapes, `label:` and objects named *_LABELS, with a comment about crying
wolf 33 times. The shapes kept coming: `description:` and `group:` on the
keyboard bindings, the calendar's view names, the read-receipt refusals, the
palette names.

Chasing them one at a time is the wrong shape of fix. Stale detection now asks
only "is this key still written down anywhere in the source" -- any string
literal counts. That under-reports, and that is the right way round: a missed
stale key costs a line of dead translation, a false one costs the credibility
of the check and every real finding after it. Which is what happened here --
these sat unread long enough to need a commit of their own.

Coverage keeps the strict set. The two questions need different nets, and
widening the one that measures what a catalogue *owes* would count every CSS
class and JMAP method name as an untranslated string -- it read 29% while I had
them sharing a set. `wanted` is the obligation, `seen` is the evidence.

What was actually dead, removed from all nine: "Availability on {date}",
"Import vCard", "PDF", two settings hints replaced by rewordings that are still
live, the Catppuccin palette description, and Tuesday through Friday -- left
behind when the week-start dropdown narrowed to the three days a week actually
starts on, and appearing since only in comments.

Coverage is unchanged at 1269/1285: none of the ten was ever owed.

* Check a catalogue against the strings the code actually asks for.
*
* Two failures, and only one of them is visible without this.
*
* A *missing* key renders English. That is the designed fallback and shows up
* as an untranslated word on screen, which somebody will eventually notice.
*
* A *stale* key -- one whose English no longer exists, usually because it was
* mistyped when the catalogue was written -- is silent. The translation sits
* in the file looking correct, is never looked up, and the app renders English
* for ever. Nothing warns, because a catalogue is only ever read by key.

* The parser, not the compiler.
*
* TypeScript 7 is the native port: its package ships a `tsc` shim over a Go
* binary and nothing else, so `typescript` now exports `version` and
* `versionMajorMinor` and no compiler API at all. Every `ts.createSourceFile`
* in this directory started throwing "Cannot read properties of undefined
* (reading 'Latest')" the day the bump landed, and nothing noticed, because no
* workflow runs these.
*
* `typescript-ast` is an npm alias for the last TypeScript that carries the JS
* API (see package.json). It parses; `typescript` still type-checks and builds.
* Two entries, two jobs -- not a version someone forgot to remove.

* untranslated string.
*
* `seen` is every string literal in the source, and answers only "is this
* catalogue key still written down anywhere". Stale detection needs the wide
