Store kind "strings": string packs install like themes and plugins (dropped .strings.json, links, the signed Store), validated as plain data on this side (envelope, plain text, size caps, the app's own site), kept in app data strings/ with their order and which are on (at most 8); licence and credits are optional fields of every catalog item; five shell-only commands (strings_list, strings_read, strings_set, strings_remove, strings_apply); the shell's delivery (packs + the inventory slice) goes into site tabs' session storage by revision, as the first document-start layer of a site tab and never in safe mode
