Replace all hardcoded English strings in UI components with i18n t() calls.
Purpose: Complete string extraction — after this plan, all UI chrome text comes from translation files instead of hardcoded strings.
Output: Every component uses useTranslation() hook, all strings reference keys from en/*.json.

useTranslation hook pattern:
```typescript
import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next";
function MyComponent() {
const { t } = useTranslation("common"); // or specific namespace
return ;
}
```
For multiple namespaces in one component:
```typescript
const { t } = useTranslation(["common", "collection"]);
// Access: t("common:actions.save"), t("collection:itemCard.title")
// Or with default namespace: t("actions.save") uses first in array
```
For interpolation:
```typescript
t("items.count", { count: 5 }) // "5 items"
t("items.count_one", { count: 1 }) // "1 item" (plural)
```
Task 1: Extract strings from navigation and global UI components
src/client/components/TopNav.tsx, src/client/components/BottomTabBar.tsx, src/client/components/FabMenu.tsx, src/client/components/UserMenu.tsx, src/client/routes/__root.tsx
src/client/components/TopNav.tsx, src/client/components/BottomTabBar.tsx, src/client/components/FabMenu.tsx, src/client/components/UserMenu.tsx, src/client/routes/__root.tsx, src/client/locales/en/common.json
- TopNav.tsx uses t() for "Collection", "Setups", "Discover" nav labels and search placeholder
- BottomTabBar.tsx uses t() for "Home", "Collection", "Search", "Setups" tab labels
- FabMenu.tsx uses t() for all menu item labels
- UserMenu.tsx uses t() for menu items like "Settings", "Sign out", profile-related labels
- __root.tsx uses t() for "Something went wrong", "Try again", "Delete Candidate", "Pick Winner" dialog text
- All components import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next"
For each component listed in files, add `import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next"` and destructure `const { t } = useTranslation("common")` at the top of the component function body (or use the appropriate namespace).
**TopNav.tsx:**
- Replace "Collection" with `t("nav.collection")`
- Replace "Setups" with `t("nav.setups")`
- Replace "Discover" with `t("nav.discover")`
- Replace search input placeholder with `t("nav.searchPlaceholder")`
- Replace "GearBox" brand text — leave as-is (brand name, not translatable)
**BottomTabBar.tsx:**
- Replace "Home" with `t("nav.home")`
- Replace "Collection" with `t("nav.collection")`
- Replace "Search" with `t("nav.search")`
- Replace "Setups" with `t("nav.setups")`
**FabMenu.tsx:**
- Replace all menu item labels with `t("fab.addItem")`, `t("fab.newThread")`, `t("fab.newSetup")` etc. (read the component to find exact labels)
**UserMenu.tsx:**
- Replace "Settings" with `t("nav.settings")`
- Replace "Sign out" / "Log out" with `t("auth.signOut")`
- Replace other menu text with appropriate t() keys
**__root.tsx:**
- Replace "Something went wrong" with `t("errors.somethingWentWrong")`
- Replace "Try again" with `t("actions.tryAgain")`
- Replace "Delete Candidate" dialog title/text with `t("common:actions.deleteCandidate")` etc.
- Replace "Pick Winner" dialog with `t("threads:resolve.title")` etc.
- Replace "Cancel" buttons with `t("actions.cancel")`
- Replace "Delete" buttons with `t("actions.delete")`
**IMPORTANT:** Do NOT wrap user-generated content (candidateName, thread title, etc.) in t() — only UI chrome.
If any new keys are needed that were not included in Plan 01's locale files, add them to the appropriate en/*.json file as part of this task.
- TopNav.tsx contains `useTranslation` import and `t(` calls
- BottomTabBar.tsx contains `useTranslation` import and `t(` calls for all tab labels
- FabMenu.tsx contains `useTranslation` import and `t(` calls
- UserMenu.tsx contains `useTranslation` import and `t(` calls
- __root.tsx contains `useTranslation` import and `t(` calls for dialog text
- No hardcoded English nav/tab labels remain in these 5 files
- `bun run build` succeeds
cd /home/jlmak/Projects/jlmak/GearBox && for f in TopNav BottomTabBar FabMenu UserMenu; do grep -c "useTranslation" src/client/components/$f.tsx; done && grep -c "useTranslation" src/client/routes/__root.tsx

Task 2: Extract strings from collection and item components
src/client/components/CollectionView.tsx, src/client/components/ItemCard.tsx, src/client/components/ItemForm.tsx, src/client/components/CategoryPicker.tsx, src/client/components/CategoryHeader.tsx, src/client/components/WeightSummaryCard.tsx, src/client/components/PlanningView.tsx, src/client/components/TotalsBar.tsx, src/client/components/DashboardCard.tsx, src/client/components/ClassificationBadge.tsx, src/client/components/ImageUpload.tsx, src/client/components/GearImage.tsx, src/client/components/GlobalItemCard.tsx, src/client/components/ManualEntryForm.tsx, src/client/components/LinkToGlobalItem.tsx, src/client/components/CategoryFilterDropdown.tsx, src/client/components/ItemPicker.tsx, src/client/components/ProfileSection.tsx
src/client/components/CollectionView.tsx, src/client/components/ItemCard.tsx, src/client/components/ItemForm.tsx, src/client/components/CategoryPicker.tsx, src/client/components/CategoryHeader.tsx, src/client/components/WeightSummaryCard.tsx, src/client/components/PlanningView.tsx, src/client/components/TotalsBar.tsx, src/client/components/DashboardCard.tsx, src/client/components/ClassificationBadge.tsx, src/client/components/ImageUpload.tsx, src/client/components/GlobalItemCard.tsx, src/client/components/ManualEntryForm.tsx, src/client/components/LinkToGlobalItem.tsx, src/client/components/CategoryFilterDropdown.tsx, src/client/components/ItemPicker.tsx, src/client/components/ProfileSection.tsx, src/client/locales/en/collection.json, src/client/locales/en/common.json
- All listed components import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next"
- Each component uses const { t } = useTranslation("collection") (or "common" for shared strings)
- Headings like "Your Collection", "Items", "Weight Summary" use t() calls
- Form labels like "Name", "Brand", "Model", "Weight", "Price", "Notes" use t() calls
- Empty states like "No items yet" use t() calls
- Action buttons already covered by common namespace t() calls
- Weight classification labels ("Ultralight", "Light", "Medium", "Heavy") use t() calls
- User-generated content (item names, category names) is NOT wrapped in t()
For each component in the files list:
1. Add `import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next"`
2. Add `const { t } = useTranslation("collection")` (or `["collection", "common"]` for components that need both namespaces)
3. Replace every hardcoded English string with the corresponding `t()` call
**Key mappings (use namespace-prefixed keys when mixing namespaces):**
Collection components use `collection` namespace:
- Headings: `t("title")`, `t("gear")`, `t("planning")`
- Empty states: `t("empty.noItems")`, `t("empty.noCategories")`
- Item form labels: `t("form.name")`, `t("form.brand")`, `t("form.model")`, `t("form.weight")`, `t("form.price")`, `t("form.notes")`, `t("form.category")`
- Item form placeholders
- Weight summary labels
- Classification badges: `t("classification.ultralight")`, etc.
- Totals: `t("totals.totalWeight")`, `t("totals.totalPrice")`, `t("totals.itemCount")`
Common-namespace strings (buttons, actions) accessed via `t("common:actions.save")` or by passing array `["collection", "common"]`.
**For components that only use common strings** (like ImageUpload, GearImage): use `useTranslation("common")`.
**If a component has no translatable strings** (purely renders user data with no UI chrome), skip it — do NOT add unnecessary imports.
Add any new keys needed to `src/client/locales/en/collection.json` and `src/client/locales/en/common.json`.
- CollectionView.tsx contains useTranslation import and t() calls
- ItemForm.tsx uses t() for all form labels (name, brand, model, weight, price, notes)
- CategoryPicker.tsx uses t() for search placeholder and "Create category" text
- WeightSummaryCard.tsx uses t() for summary labels
- ClassificationBadge.tsx uses t() for classification names
- No hardcoded English strings remain in UI chrome of these components
- `bun run build` succeeds
cd /home/jlmak/Projects/jlmak/GearBox && for f in CollectionView ItemCard ItemForm CategoryPicker WeightSummaryCard; do echo -n "$f: "; grep -c "useTranslation" src/client/components/$f.tsx; done

- Thread/candidate names are NOT wrapped in t() (user-generated content)
For each component:
1. Add `import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next"`
2. Add `const { t } = useTranslation("threads")` (or `["threads", "common"]`)
3. Replace all hardcoded English UI chrome strings with t() calls
**Key mappings for threads namespace:**
- Status: `t("status.active")`, `t("status.resolved")`, `t("status.archived")`
- Create modal: `t("create.title")`, `t("create.namePlaceholder")`, `t("create.description")`

- Comparison headers: `t("comparison.weight")`, `t("comparison.price")`, `t("comparison.pros")`, `t("comparison.cons")`
- Actions: use common namespace for buttons
Add any new keys to `src/client/locales/en/threads.json`.
- ThreadCard.tsx contains useTranslation import and t() calls
- CandidateForm.tsx uses t() for all form labels
- ComparisonTable.tsx uses t() for column headers
- StatusBadge.tsx uses t() for status labels
- CreateThreadModal.tsx uses t() for modal title and form labels

- `bun run build` succeeds
cd /home/jlmak/Projects/jlmak/GearBox && for f in ThreadCard CandidateForm ComparisonTable StatusBadge CreateThreadModal; do echo -n "$f: "; grep -c "useTranslation" src/client/components/$f.tsx; done

- Route pages use their respective namespace (collection routes use "collection", thread routes use "threads", etc.)
- Landing page (index.tsx) strings use "common" namespace
- Login page strings use "common" namespace
- All user-generated content (setup names, thread titles, user names) is NOT wrapped in t()
For each component/route:
1. Add `import { useTranslation } from "react-i18next"`
2. Add `const { t } = useTranslation(...)` with appropriate namespace
3. Replace all hardcoded English UI chrome strings with t() calls
**Setup namespace keys:**
- `t("title")`, `t("create")`, `t("empty")`, `t("card.items")`, `t("card.weight")`, `t("card.price")`
- Share: `t("share.title")`, `t("share.copyLink")`, `t("share.copied")`
