feat(i18n): unit-mapped briefings with mechanical --apply, adopting the #684 planner mechanics

The briefing now maps each update at the narrowest safely aligned
granularity, widening deterministically on mapping failure: a change
confined to the pair's byte-identical code fences is computed outright
(--apply splices it into the counterpart and validates the result
against the pairing gate's structural signature before writing);
otherwise changed Markdown units — headings, paragraphs, table rows,
list items, fences, block quotes, HTML blocks, thematic breaks, link
definitions, matched by container-scoped kind sequences — each carry
their last-confirmed source, current source, and current counterpart
text; units that do not align fall back to depth-matched heading
sections (depth only, so translated heading text still maps); and when
sections do not align either, or both sides drifted, the briefing says
so and withholds the mapping. Terminology rows now match the changed
spans only, English terms on word boundaries with plural inflections,
and Chinese-target briefings track each relevant term's document-wide
first occurrence — a moved occurrence pulls the vacated and receiving
spans into the briefing with an explanatory note.

The unit mapping, mechanical code splice, and first-occurrence tracking
adopt the planner design from the incremental prompt-pipeline PR (#684),
whose provider-backed bake-off independently validated the same scope
ladder; this PR carries those mechanics into the agent-facing briefing
path so both consumers of the consistency records behave alike. The
prior line-hunk section mapping and its heading-text alignment (which
could not map cross-language sections) are replaced wholesale.

Docs: SKILL.md update path, i18n README pair, development.md pair, and
the briefed-updates Agent Note pair brought along; the development.md
fence edit was applied with --apply itself, and the prose updates were
made through the new unit/section briefings.

-  Blob hashes, not commit hashes, so the record is computable for files edited in the same PR (`git hash-object foo.md`) and consistency is a pure content comparison. The recorded hashes also recover the exact last-confirmed text of either side, so an out-of-sync pair is updated by patching the counterpart minimally against the edited side's diff — never by re-translating whole files. `pnpm run gen-translation-brief <pair>` assembles that update's working set mechanically: the edited side's diff since last confirmation, the counterpart sections it lands in, the terminology rows it touches, and the binding update rules ([briefed-updates Agent Note](../../.agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-07-26-briefed-minimal-translation-updates.md)). After bringing the pair back in line, `pnpm run verify-translation-pairing --write <pair>` re-records both hashes; that yaml diff is the reviewable act of confirming consistency, which is why `--write` requires naming the pairs you confirmed (`--write --all` is the explicit corpus-wide form).

 - **Language switcher.** Both files link to each other immediately after their H1 heading: the English file carries `English | [中文](foo.zh.md)` and the Chinese file carries `[English](foo.md) | 中文`.
 - **Structure mirrors the counterpart.** Heading depths and order, list kinds, ordered-list starts, list item counts, table row and column counts, link targets, and verbatim code blocks match one to one across the pair — see [translation-rules.md](translation-rules.md) for the full preservation rules. Existing Markdown gates apply to `.zh.md` files unchanged (`verify-md-wrap`, `verify-md-links`).
