What does this PR do?

This PR adds Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR) localization for the Hermes Agent desktop application.

It translates the desktop application's user-facing interface strings into Brazilian Portuguese, making the application more accessible to Portuguese-speaking users while preserving the existing functionality and behavior.

No application logic or functionality is changed by this PR; the changes are limited to UI text localization.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e4ea8

This PR only adds Brazilian Portuguese UI text. The sole current issue is a minor import-order lint violation in the translation catalog, which is a trivial fix and poses no product or runtime risk; merge is appropriate after the import is reordered and normal checks pass.

Fix the import order.

Line 6 violates perfectionist/sort-imports. Move ./pt-br before ./zh so the lint check passes.

Fixed — applied the import reorder exactly as suggested (moved ./pt-br before ./zh).

This was generated by AI during triage.

Related to #76863, #65064, and the desktop pt-BR request #40239. These are overlapping desktop Portuguese locale implementations with different locale scope and completeness; maintainers should consolidate rather than merge parallel catalogs.

feat(desktop): add Brazilian Portuguese localization

  1. Import ordering nit — in apps/desktop/src/i18n/catalog.ts the import { ptBr } from './pt-br' sits between the zh and zh-hant imports while the map entry is inserted between en and zh. Keep import and map ordering consistent; the linter will likely flag it.

  2. Concrete PT-BR typos / naturalness issues in pt-br.ts (sample, there may be more):

    • settings.resetToDefaults: 'Restaurar padrãos' → "padrões"
    • notifications.kinds.turnDone.label: 'resposta pronto' → "resposta pronta"
    • notifications.test: 'enviar testar Notificação' → "Enviar notificação de teste"
    • settings.config.noResults: 'Nenhum resultados encontrado' → "Nenhum resultado encontrado"
    • gateway.savedTitle: 'Gateway Configurações salvo' → "Configurações do gateway salvas"
    • gateway.sshHermesPathTitle: 'Hermes caminho (opcional)' → "Caminho do Hermes"
    • voice.playbackFailed: 'Voz reprodução falhou' / voice.recordingFailed: 'Voz gravação falhou' → "Reprodução de voz falhou" / "Gravação de voz falhou"
    • Inconsistent capitalization: signOut: 'sair' (lowercase) vs sibling menu items; signInIncompleteTitle: 'login incompleto' mid-sentence lowercase.
      A native-speaker pass over the file before merge would catch the rest.
  3. Translation drift riskTranslations is a typed record so TS enforces key completeness against the type at compile time, but keys added to en.ts/types.ts after this fork won't surface as missing here; the UI would silently fall back to English. Consider a CI key-set comparison across locales (like the zh/ja locales presumably have) to catch drift.
