The manifest said its text in English only. An add-on can now translate
what the host shows to people, and the library list shows it before the
add-on is installed.
The title and the description use the language maps of ui.title and
ui.description, which every host already reads. A new optional field,
i18n, translates the connector kinds by language tag. It stays under api
2 and its set of fields is closed: the title and the description of a
declared kind, and only where the English kind has them. Tool
descriptions, schemas and skills are for the model and stay English.
Tags follow the language map rule (at most 16, no English), each string
has the limit of its English field, all translated text has at most
12 000 characters, and markup, control characters and direction
overrides are refused. A host that does not know the field refuses the
manifest, as it refuses any unknown field. The field is part of the
manifest, so the package digest and the signature cover it.
The catalog generator copies the translated title and description of
the manifest into each library entry (ui.titles, ui.descriptions), the
host validates them like the manifest values, and a library search
matches the English and the translated text. The apps list and the
connector kinds return the text of every language and, when the request
names a language (lang, else Accept-Language), the resolved text beside
the English fields: language, localizedTitle and localizedDescription.
No existing field changes.
Every add-on on master now has its title and description in Italian,
German, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese,
Korean and Indonesian, and the chat connectors carry their kind text in
the same languages. The packaging tests require that, and that a
translation has the fields of the English text it translates. The names
of the add-ons that provide a role are matched in their English title
only: a translation is often an ordinary word of its language.

Declare the save-mode user setting (ask, auto, never; default ask) and
edit it on the Short memory page with the settings kit, a line for each
option, and the rule that messaging apps and background runs always ask.
The page reads and writes through sdk.userSettings and keeps the earlier
choice on screen when a save fails. The memory skill now says what to
tell the user for each answer of propose_change.

No release ever shipped add-ons, so there is no installed base on api 1.
The manifest must now declare api {"min": 2, "max": 2}; a manifest with
api 1, no api or a wider range is refused with a message that names the
range.
Every field that was gated on api 2 is now part of the contract, so the
Min*API constants and their gates are gone, and so are HostAPIMin and
the apiMin host field. Three older-manifest shims go with them: the
resource listing the host implied for one add-on, the legacyArgs hint
for arguments an older version of a tool took, and the tests that
checked the gates. All shipped manifests and the test fixtures declare
api 2.

The add-on declares the three index files of the person's notes
(capabilities.contextFiles, manifest API 2), so the host loads them into
the prompt and serves their topics with context_read. It ships two skills:
memory, whose description asks the model to read the matching topic before
it answers almost anything and to save a note only as a proposal the person
confirms, and memory-check-own-files, which says what the model can and
cannot read. Its executable serves no tool, and its page explains the notes
and opens the Memory tab of the account.
The add-on joins the packaging matrix, the release workflow, the library
index and the case inventory. The declared capabilities the host hands to
an add-on now include the context files.
