pastilhas bde59eb74e activity, capabilities, chat history and the locale picker (21 -> 2)
The locale picker's labels are now AUTONYMS computed from Intl -- each language named
in its own language, so "Português europeu" reads as Portuguese whichever locale the
UI is in. That is the convention for a language picker and the useful behaviour:
somebody who cannot read the current language still has to find theirs.

CapabilityPage interpolated the capability KIND into six strings by lowercasing it in
code. "skill" does not lowercase into a Portuguese noun, so kind is a parameter now.

What is left is two strings, both deliberate: see the next commit message.

/**
* The UI locales that actually ship — regional BCP 47 tags, per docs/localization.md D2. This is the
* one list `I18nBridge` merges catalogs for and `Languages.tsx` offers for UI localization; it is
* deliberately separate from the broader "languages you speak" / "translate to" lists, which are a
* different feature (see the doc's open question 4) and are not limited to locales with a catalog.
