Describe memory-pressure hibernation the way it works - #15290

With routine Agent Hibernation off, cmux still hibernates safe idle agents
under memory pressure. The docs, config schema and settings subtitle said
this happens only under critical pressure and in a bounded batch ("at most
two"). The planner actually takes every eligible agent, and the aggregate
lane also fires at cmux's own warning threshold (50% of physical memory).

Add the missing hibernation-description translations.
This description is updated in 9 locales. The catalog also contains bs, da, it, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, and uk, but this entry has no translations for them. Add translations for those locales so users receive the updated behavior description.
As per path instructions, “Flag production changes that add or materially change user-facing text if the affected surface is not fully localized across its supported locales.”

Independently, under memory pressure (critical pressure from macOS or from the cmux app's own footprint, or cmux's total memory use past its aggregate warning threshold) cmux may hibernate every safe idle background agent even when enabled is false; visible, running, needs-input, recently changed, and unprotectable agents remain excluded.

Add the Agent Hibernation messages to every supported locale.
web/i18n/routing.ts defines 20 supported locales, but both schema description keys exist only in en.json and ja.json. Add accurate translations for the other 18 locale files. The schema references these keys, so its descriptions lack localized coverage.

Summary
With routine Agent Hibernation off (
terminal.agentHibernation.enabled: false, the default), cmux still hibernates safe idle background agents under memory pressure. The user-facing text described that safety path wrongly:docs/agent-hooks.md, the config schema (web/data/cmux.schema.jsonand its generated Swift copy, web messages en/ja, the settings-keys skill reference) and the Settings subtitle said this happens only under critical pressure, and in a bounded batch ("at most two of the oldest").The code does something broader. There are two lanes:
AgentHibernationMemoryPressureResponder)AggregateMemoryPressureResponder, min severity.warning)Neither checks
enabled, and the planner returns every eligible agent for both (AgentHibernationPlanner.orderedPanelKeys,scheduledExcess = nil).docs/configuration.mdalready said this.This PR only corrects the text, so that turning the setting off doesn't read as "never". Whether off should mean off, with a prompt instead of silent hibernation under pressure, is a product call, raised on cmux#13742.
Part of the hibernation safety work in manaflow-ai/cmuxterm-hq#880.
Testing

Corrects the user-facing text so turning off routine Agent Hibernation no longer reads as "never hibernates under pressure." The docs, config schema, and settings subtitle claimed pressure hibernation happens only under critical macOS memory pressure and in a bounded batch, but the planner actually hibernates every eligible safe idle agent under critical pressure (macOS, or cmux's own footprint reaching 16 GiB) or when cmux's total memory use passes the aggregate warning threshold (50% of physical memory), regardless of the
enabledsetting.configuration.md.Written for commit f7a066e. Summary will update on new commits.
