Correction: the reported premise held for only one of the three templates,
verified by running the core migration set against an empty database.
- expiration_warning is German-is-English on every fresh install, exactly as
reported. Repaired with migration 194's pattern verbatim.
- gallery_expired and archive_complete are NOT German-is-English -- they do
not exist at all. Their master rows are inserted only by migrations/legacy/
010+020, which never run on a fresh install, so 075/099/106/108 seeded zero
translations for them (they key off a master row that is not there). A
fresh install's email_templates holds 17 keys and neither is among them.
The consequence is worse than a translation gap: expirationChecker's
sendGalleryExpiredEmails and archiveService's completion mail both hit
"Email template not found", retry three times and die silently in
email_queue on every expiry and every archive.
So 195 also seeds those two (master row + en/de translations + category),
but only when the master row is absent -- it never overwrites. English
follows legacy 028, which emailProcessor's own comments call the shipped
copy; German follows legacy 026's wording. Both are restructured into the
plain unstyled shape the other core-seeded templates use, so wrapEmailHtml's
configurable palette governs styling rather than hard-coded hex. The
support-contact line is wrapped in {{#if support_email}} because
getSupportEmail() can return ''.
196 adds the {{#if welcome_message}} block that nl/pt/ru/fr/es/sl already
have in gallery_created but en and de lack, so the photographer's personal
note was silently dropped for those two locales even though the value is
passed at send time. safeTemplateReplace does resolve {{#if}} before variable
substitution, so this is a real conditional -- there is a test rendering the
migrated body both ways. HTML body only, matching the other locales:
emailProcessor rewrites welcome_message through formatWelcomeMessage
(escape + nl2br) once for both bodies, so the text part would print literal
<br /> and &.
Both migrations keep 194's conservative condition -- rewrite only while the
German is still byte-identical to English or empty -- so admin-edited and
legacy-translated installs are untouched. Idempotent, guarded, no-op down().
Known gap, documented in 195's header: the two newly seeded templates get
en/de only. nl/pt/ru/fr/es/sl fall back to en via processTemplate's fallback
chain, which is strictly better than today's hard failure but is not real
localisation.
