defmodule BDS.Desktop.UILocale do @moduledoc """ Per-render UI locale binding for the desktop LiveView shell. The shell renders the UI in the user's selected language, which can differ from the OS locale and from the project's `mainLanguage`. Phoenix HEEx templates call `translated/1,2` helpers without an explicit locale, so we bind the active locale once per `render/1` and the helpers read it back. This module encapsulates that binding so call sites do not touch the raw process dictionary directly. Use `with_locale/2` around any render or component that needs a locale binding; use `current/0` to read it. ## Invariant Every code path that evaluates HEEx templates containing `translated/1,2` calls **must** call `UILocale.put/1` before template evaluation: * `ShellLive.render/1` — sets locale at the top of every LiveView render. * `SidebarComponents.sidebar_content/1` — sets locale before the function component's HEEx (runs in the same process, may be called outside the parent render cycle via `send_update`). * `MenuBar.mount/1` and `MenuBar.handle_info({:set_ui_locale, _})` — set locale in the separate menu-bar process which has its own render cycle. Violating this invariant causes `current/0` to return a stale or `nil` locale, producing untranslated UI text. Direct use of `Process.put(:bds_ui_locale, _)` or `Process.get(:bds_ui_locale)` is forbidden outside this module.

Used at LiveView render boundaries. The binding persists past the call (mirroring per-process locale state) so that lazily evaluated child components see the active locale.

Safe under exceptions: the prior binding is restored in an `after` clause. Use this for short-lived non-LiveView contexts (background tasks, scripts) where eager evaluation guarantees the binding is consumed before `fun` returns. Do not use around LiveView `render/1` because the returned `Phoenix.LiveView.Rendered` struct evaluates its dynamic parts lazily.
