integrations keyed, and the Google guide's foreign labels marked (163 -> 96)

Applies the rule added to docs/localization.md in 91b9bec9: a label quoted from
another product's interface is an identifier, so the prose around it is translated
and the label itself is left in English and NOT keyed.

Gives that decision a name in the code. <Untranslated reason="foreign-ui-label">
states it at each of the ~30 call sites, where whoever next edits the sentence will
see it, and gives the scanner something exact to skip -- without which labels that
MUST stay English count as debt forever and the area can never be held at zero. That
is the same trap as counting new Error() messages. `reason` is a closed union so a
second excuse has to be argued for rather than smuggled in as free text.

The sentences needed rephrasing, not just splitting. "Go to the [New Project] page."
decomposes into "Go to the" + link + "page." -- and the Portuguese value of that
second key is "." A key that holds a full stop is the fragmentation smell, so the
English now puts the label at a clause boundary ("Open the project creation page:"
then the link), which reads naturally in both languages and needs no node-level
interpolation. Worth knowing for phase 3: sentences with an inline link are the one
shape this catalog format cannot express, and rephrasing is the cheap way out.

Scanner: the existing SCREAMING_CONSTANT rule now allows . and - so Google's
client-secret prefix example GOCSPX-... falls under it. Same rule, wider class.
