+- **Frontend namespace migration completed.** The remaining utility, library, cast-compatibility, i18n, and settings/log
+ surfaces now keep implementation state private while preserving explicit legacy compatibility exports.
- **Conversation/log namespace migration.** Settings log state and About rendering helpers now use a private scope with
compatibility exports and a `window.TTVC.conversation` API.
- **i18n namespace migration.** Language dictionaries and mutable language state now use a private scope with compatibility
