Give every locale its own strings on the non-prompt surfaces

Four locales received English on surfaces whose translations were already complete, because the resolving code was a de/en binary. - Medication reminder push and the Telegram inline-keyboard labels admitted only de/en, so es/fr/it/pl got the English template on every channel. Route the resolver through a shared coerceLocale(). - The Coach's trailing "reply now in X" clause said English for any non-German locale, overriding the correct system-prompt directive. Read the language name from a shared map instead. - Coach refusal copy was a de/en constant pair, answering four locales in English at the one turn the Coach is declining to help. Move the copy into the bundles; the EN/DE constants now derive from them. - The sleep-stage chart formatted axis ticks as en-US for four locales; the cycle calendar and the device-score tile followed the *browser* locale rather than the app locale. - Three components carried a byte-identical duration formatter that branched on German. Lift it to one key-driven helper. Polish needs a third plural tier: 2-4 takes a "few" form a two-form scheme cannot express, so "2 godzin temu" read as "2 of-hours ago". Add a pluralKey() helper driven by Intl.PluralRules and a Few tier to the relative-time and stale-hint keys. The five locales whose rules have no "few" category resolve exactly as before by construction, and their Few values mirror Other. Teach the reverse-coverage guard to expand a pluralKey() base into its three tiers.

+ * The bundle originally carried a two-form scheme per countable string —

+ * English, German, Spanish, French and Italian correctly, but not Polish:
+ * Polish splits the non-singular range into a "few" form (2–4, 22–24, 32–34,
+ * …) and a "many" form (0, 5–21, …), so a two-form scheme rendered
+ * "2 godzin temu" where the language wants "2 godziny temu".
+ *
+ * Rather than hand-roll the modulo arithmetic, the tier comes from
+ * `Intl.PluralRules`, which carries the CLDR rules for every locale we ship.
+ * The three tiers map as:
+ *
+ *   CLDR "one"            → `One`
+ *   CLDR "few"            → `Few`
+ *   CLDR "many" / "other" → `Other`
+ *
+ * For de / en / es / fr / it the "few" category never fires on an integer, so
+ * those locales resolve exactly as they did before this module existed — the
+ * change is inert for them by construction, not by a special case. For Polish
+ * the surviving `Other` tier carries the "many" form, which is what the key
+ * already held, so only the new `Few` tier needed fresh strings.
+ *
+ * `Other` is the floor: an unknown category, an unsupported locale, or an
+ * `Intl.PluralRules` that throws all resolve to it, which is the pre-existing
+ * behaviour. A caller can therefore add the `Few` key for Polish alone and
