colour -> color, behaviour -> behavior, centre -> center, favourite ->
favorite, and about twenty other pairs, applied consistently across
comments, docs, error/UI copy, and a handful of QML identifiers that
used the British spelling as their actual name: SystemSettings'
serialiseValue/serialiseTable/normaliseGradient, Displays'
normaliseModes, Wallpaper's normalisePolicy, SettingsBackup's
serialiseHomeState, DateTime's ntpSynchronised property, Clipboard's
_normalise helper, and ShortcutCapture's cancelled signal (with its
onCancelled handler in ShortcutsPage.qml). Every call site and the two
tests that assert on the literal source text (settings-ownership and
settings-backup-live contracts) were updated in lockstep.
Left untouched: config/dot/espanso/match/packages/misspell-en/ is a
vendored third-party autocorrect dictionary -- its entries are typo
corrections, not our prose, and rewriting them would fight the
package's own purpose (and any future re-sync from upstream).
The already-American `favorites` property (Home page pinned
accessories) was never actually misspelled -- only nearby comments and
error strings said "favourites" -- so no data migration was needed
there.

WifiList and the notification toasts built their model from a plain
computed array, so any background property tick (a scan result, an
unrelated notification arriving) reassigned the whole array and the
Repeater destroyed and recreated every delegate -- including one with
an open, focused password field or an in-progress reply. Switched
both to a ScriptModel, which diffs by identity instead of resetting.
ValueSlider had its pointer-to-value mapping offset by 16px (the
hit-area margin was applied with the wrong sign), so 0% was
unreachable and every click landed to the right of where it was
placed -- affects every slider in the shell. SliderRow used -1 as a
sentinel for "nothing pending," which collides with legitimate
negative preference values like pointer sensitivity.
Dock intellihide read the globally focused workspace instead of each
monitor's own, so an empty workspace on one screen could hide the
dock on another; ActivityPanel rebuilt every row once a second during
a recording because the elapsed-time read lived in the model
construction instead of each row's own binding.
