Host (applied with root@192.168.88.30) - [service] REQUIRE_SIGNIN_VIEW = false in /etc/gitea/app.ini (backup written alongside), Gitea restarted. Verified anonymously: repo page 200, API 200, and a release asset downloads at full size (50.8 MB AppImage). Localization safety (Open Polish) - Strings.placeholder_count() counts conversions and ignores %% escapes. - Strings.fmt() validates the count and fails safe (warns, returns the template) instead of raising an engine error when a key's placeholders drift. - Strings.validate() lints the table for a trailing %, unsupported conversions, and mixed positional/sequential placeholders. - Tests cover the counter, the fail-safe path, a clean table, and a formatting pass over every placeholder key with type-correct arguments. Docs - TODO: distribution, release-pipeline, and open-polish sections are complete and moved to DONE; the v0.2.4-v0.2.8 backfill is closed as superseded. - README/MEMORY updated. Version 0.2.14.
