+<!--
+  Trans renders an i18n message that contains inline markup tags — the Svelte
+  analog of react-i18next's <Trans>.
+
+  It resolves the message with svelte-i18n (so ICU {placeholders} are still
+  interpolated from `values`), parses the resulting string with parseRichText,
+  then renders the node tree. Text nodes render as escaped text; tag nodes are
+  matched against the `tags` snippet map, falling back to built-in p/br/title.
+
+  SECURITY: `key`/`values` are app-controlled, but the resolved *string* comes
+  from a locale file that is community-maintained via Weblate and must be
+  treated as untrusted. Rendering never uses {@html}: every text node is
+  escaped by Svelte, and only allowlisted tag names map to real markup. A tag
+  the app didn't provide (and isn't a built-in) renders its children only, with
+  the wrapper dropped — so injected tags/attributes cannot become live DOM.
+
+  Usage:
+    <Trans key="home.description" tags={{ helpPageLink }} />
+    {#snippet helpPageLink(children)}
+      <a href="/help">{@render children()}</a>

+// component tags like <helpPageLink>Help</helpPageLink> or <itemsHelp/>.

+// that Trans.svelte renders safely.
+//
+// SECURITY: every non-English locale is community-maintained via Weblate, so a
+// translated string is untrusted input. This parser therefore only ever
+// recognises *bare* tag names (no attributes are read from the string) and
+// produces text + tag nodes — never HTML. Trans.svelte renders text nodes as
+// escaped text and maps tag names against a fixed allowlist, so a hostile
+// translation can at worst produce odd-looking but inert text. Do not feed the
+// raw string into {@html}.
