Subject: [PATCH] Two gates:post reds from this landing's own commits, fixed at
 the source

check:optional-t-equivalence evaluates useOptionalT.js on its own, with its
imports stripped and tStatic and useI18n handed in. The composable now also
imports getRuntimeLocale and cldrChoiceIndex, so every section died with a
ReferenceError. The gate now hands in a bare host's getRuntimeLocale and the
shipped cldrChoiceIndex, lifted from library/i18n/index.js's own text; its
import control accepts tStatic among several names, but still only from
'@map/i18n/index.js' (a catalogue import of the module's own still fails).

check:frozen-labels caught the research filters' new search placeholder:
tStatic inside a computed that reads no locale never re-runs, so the
placeholder stayed in the boot language. It now reads and passes
locale.value, like the search chip in the same file.
