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.

A Process's exited and streamFinished signals aren't guaranteed to
fire in order, and several services decided an outcome on whichever
fired first: KdeConnect could report a successful file transfer as
failed if exited landed before the real stdout payload; Clipboard
could present a failed history query as an empty-but-healthy one;
Brightness could strand the last queued write of a drag; SoundFeedback
and SystemLocale could drop or misapply a rapid second toggle/click
because re-arming an already-running Process is a no-op. All five now
wait for both signals and let the authoritative one decide, matching
the pattern HomeAssistantConfig.qml already used correctly.
Health's "copy report" never enabled stdin, so it copied nothing
while claiming success. Capture announced every recording as saved
regardless of the recorder's actual exit code. Connectivity never
restarted Bluetooth discovery when the adapter was enabled from an
already-open page. CalendarAgenda left the UI in "loading" forever if
its helper died at startup, and the helper itself could crash
unguarded instead of reporting unavailable. Geocoding silently
dropped a query typed while the previous one was still in flight.
Notifs leaked tracked-but-undisplayed notifications under Do Not
Disturb, and dismissAll() skipped them.

The last two values that could only be changed by editing a file.
Weather was pinned to hardcoded coordinates, so the card could not be
pointed anywhere else. It is a location search now, not latitude and
longitude fields: nobody knows their own coordinates, and a control that
demands them is one nobody uses. Open-Meteo's geocoding endpoint needs
no key, the same reason the forecast already uses them. Only the search
term leaves the machine -- the stored place name is a label -- and
coordinates are rounded to four decimals, far finer than a weather
reading resolves and coarse enough to keep a precise home location out
of the settings file.
The graphics readout was hardcoded to card1. This machine has two amdgpu
cards, discrete and integrated, so that was right only by luck, and the
path is meaningless on any other machine. GPUs are enumerated with a
readable name from lspci, since sysfs exposes only numeric ids, and the
picker appears only when there is more than one to choose between. A
stored path the machine does not have is refused and reported rather
than silently measuring nothing.
Also merges the per-application notification rules UI. Its three commits
were believed integrated but the page half was not actually in the tree:
main had the service side in Notifs.qml and zero references to
setAppRule in NotificationsPage. Ancestry is not content.
