 ## Shipping decision
 
-Published releases ship the bundled build (decided October 2026). With ten locales the bundled `main.js` is 4,264,038 bytes, under the 5,000,000-byte budget. The downloadable build is 3,612,122 bytes, so it would save about 0.65 MB. The cost would be a network dependency on first use of each language, an operated hosting and publication path, and mobile behaviour that hasn't been accepted on the current Lingui build. Keep the downloadable mode in the codebase for experimental builds, but don't enable it in releases. Revisit this if added locales push the bundled build towards the budget.

-English defines the authoritative generated-ID set. Export requires exactly all ten supported catalogues and a complete matching ID set in each.

Required plural/ordinal categories are those reached by integer counts 0–999 after the ICU offset; exact `=N` cases match the original count and satisfy a category only when they cover all its representatives in that range. Million-only `many` categories in fr/es/pt/it are optional; the follow-up removes all 90 mechanically added es/fr `many` arms. The plugin mirrors `mdbase-connect` kit `e61ab062`'s coverage rule locally: the kit exposes no standalone coverage helper, and the plugin retains stricter English-source coverage and scoped English-arm rejection. The Italian adoption pins kit `49bea0aa`; this plugin does not consume the shared UI package. There are no legacy suffix-parameter exemptions. Literal template/path/code examples remain protected data. PO is authoritative; use normal clean extraction after integration. The legacy converter and its refresh flags have been retired.

 Italian (`it`, endonym **Italiano**) is the tenth UI locale. Regional system preferences such as `it-IT` and explicit `it_CH` choices normalize to `it`. The ordinary registry includes it synchronously; the downloadable build derives its picker and pinned publication manifest from the same ten-locale kit and emits `it.json`. Neither the pack format nor source-message IDs change.

It does not consume `@mdbase-dev/ui` or compose any library catalogues: adding that unused dependency or a `--compose` path would be misleading. The shared strict check still validates composition of all configured plugin catalogue scopes. The plugin uses its own Lingui instances, not the kit runtime, so its literal-backslash protection remains in the plugin adapter.
 
 The Italian identical-term exceptions cover protected interpolation/template syntax, example paths/IDs, numeric formats, symbols, proper product names and established Italian UI loanwords (File, Frontmatter, Pomodoro, Token, Webhook, Agenda). The expand-control symbol `▶` is preserved verbatim. No English sentences are allowlisted. The single scoped English-arm exception is `FBlWXu` / `noteCount:other`: Italian plural **note** (singular **nota**) legitimately matches English singular **note**. Calendar day/week/year abbreviations, unavailable-value text and the missing-key caption were translated rather than allowlisted. The official Obsidian Italian catalogue calls the core plugin **Base**; interface references use **Base**, including the starter note's enable-plugin instruction.

 - Calendar view settings now use fewer, task-focused sections, with less common controls under Advanced and clearer names for time-grid and event limits. Saved `.base` settings keep applying unchanged. See [Calendar Views](https://tasknotes.dev/views/calendar-views/#view-options).
 
 - The Calendar view now uses TaskNotes' own calendar engine instead of FullCalendar. Existing calendar view settings in `.base` files keep working, including the saved view, custom day count, first day of week, time format, slot range and size, height mode, week numbers, weekends, all-day row, today column width, and event limits.
