 - **Voice list rows no longer show the "Source unknown" badge** (it crowded the play buttons). The badge stays in the voice inspector, next to the Source & consent panel.
 
 ### Fixed
+- **Duplicate German i18n keys and dead frontend code.** Removed 14 shadowed duplicate keys in `i18n.js` (effective translations unchanged), the unreachable body of `audiobookShowPreview`, and two identical-branch ternaries.
 - **Security hardening (Sonar findings).** The Docker installer downloads `get-docker.sh` into a private `mkdtemp` dir (not a predictable `/tmp` path) and removes it afterwards; the OMDb poster lookup uses HTTPS; the fish.audio cache key marks MD5 as `usedforsecurity=False`.
 - **Background jobs could be garbage-collected mid-run.** Fire-and-forget `asyncio.create_task` calls (magazine, conversation, tts, stt, library, sources) now go through `core.tasks.spawn`, which keeps a strong reference until the task ends and logs failures by exception class only.
 - **Voice archetype gallery broke `npm run check:frontend`**: its `say` helper collided with `magazine.js`; renamed to `archSay`.
