Seeding is deliberately conservative: a role whose preferred applications
are all missing is left alone rather than forced. That is right, and it
is also silent -- so a curated handler nobody installs presents as the
machine quietly going back to deciding defaults by installation order,
which is the problem seeding exists to fix. None of Loupe, Papers,
Decibels, Nautilus, mpv or sushi was declared anywhere.
Preview works, on org.gnome.NautilusPreviewer2 rather than the interface
its bus name suggests, but it opened tiled -- shoving the file manager
aside for something meant to be an overlay -- so it gets a float and
center rule sized to leave the file underneath visible.
xdg-utils and desktop-file-utils were undeclared too; seeding from
link-dotfiles started calling them, and the dependency contract said so.

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.
