Two store-i18n-only code paths predate updater's custom roles
(web-app-cst-*, d92375922d), which the merge c9e7f950d9 brought in:
- utils/i18n/libretranslate.py deploys the translation tools lane with
cli.administration.deploy.dedicated but without --skip-pull. The lane
bind-mounts the checkout and its generated inventory declares no custom
role, so `make i18n-translate` would have run pull_custom_roles and
removed every pulled web-app-cst-* from the host's roles/. It now
passes --skip-pull, as every other generated deploy does.
- utils/i18n/extract.py role_messages globbed roles/*/meta/main.yml,
including the gitignored custom roles, so a checkout with a pulled
custom role failed test_core_catalogs_hold_exactly_the_current_sources
and its remedy would have written the custom role's description into
every tracked core catalog, against updater's rule that core never
tracks custom roles. It now skips is_custom(role), like the README
generators.
test_a_pulled_custom_role_stays_out_of_the_core_catalogs pins the second
point; without the skip it fails with the custom role in the list.

A deploy job name repeats the category path on every row of the matrix. One Egyptian hieroglyph costs four UTF-8 bytes where the two Chinese characters it replaces cost six. Unicode names each sign by its Gardiner code, so the opaque value stays identifiable without a comment per entry.
A label has to stay one codepoint: a sign written with a variation selector costs seven bytes and is worse than what it replaced. tests/integration/meta/categories/test_glyph.py enforces that.

Core and the documentation get gettext catalogs for all 184 ISO 639-1
languages listed in meta/languages.yml, 47 of which LibreTranslate can fill.
`make i18n-extract` merges the current sources into locale/<code>/
LC_MESSAGES/{core,docs}.po: role descriptions, category and menu titles and
the logout strings for the core domain, the Sphinx gettext output for the
docs domain. A changed source keeps its previous translation as a fuzzy
entry, and catalogs are written deterministically so an unchanged merge
leaves the files untouched.
`make i18n-translate domain=<core|docs> [languages=<codes>]` fills only the
empty and fuzzy entries with a short-lived LibreTranslate container (the
image web-svc-libretranslate pins) and removes it afterwards. It starts the
container, and loads models, only for languages that still have pending
entries. Code spans, placeholders, URLs, tags and dotted names such as
Infinito.Nexus are masked for the request and a translation that damages
one is discarded. An unreachable server stops the run instead of
discarding every remaining entry, so a rerun continues where it stopped;
machine translations carry the translator comment `libretranslate`.
