packages: the registry text a game fills is keys (Maroon Lake's phase 26.4) - ThingKind.name, GearKind blurb/howto/names, HintCard's words, JobDef title/text/how, NpcLine and NpcChoice text, WeatherKind.name are @Text Key fields (a compiled row that leaves one out takes its derived key, the English is the game's en.po); what a package hands back as text is the key's marked text, "" for none; NpcName.name, NpcChoice.line and SettingDef.text are not text and lose @Text; ludic.i18n's tr/trf/trn/key_text say @alloc_ok (tr is a cast); the packages' tests with key literals (built, not run); changes/text-keys-data.md
