## Decision
**The initial locale resolves through three ordered sources: the persisted preference, then the browser, then `FALLBACK_LOCALE`.** `resolveInitialLocale()` in `packages/client/locale/src/client/index.ts` runs at service construction and is the only place the order is expressed; `restorePreference()` now returns `LocaleId | undefined` (an absent, unparseable, or unreachable store reads as *no preference*) so the next source can speak.
**The provisional locale resolves through the browser, then `FALLBACK_LOCALE`; an explicit Host preference replaces it live.** `resolveInitialLocale()` in `packages/client/locale/src/client/index.ts` runs at service construction and expresses the browser/fallback order. The nonblocking settings lifecycle then applies optional `locale.preference` from `$DSH_HOME/settings.yaml`; absence leaves the browser-derived value active.
**Browser matching is on the primary subtag, over the ordered list.** `detectBrowserLocale()` walks `[...(navigator.languages ?? []), navigator.language]` and returns the first entry whose primary subtag names a shipped locale, so `zh-Hans-CN` and `zh-TW` both land on `zh` and `en-GB` on `en`, while a browser asking only for languages this app does not ship (`fr`, `de`) yields nothing and leaves `FALLBACK_LOCALE` in charge. `navigator.language` trails the list and covers its absence on hosts that ship a Navigator without `languages` — the DOM lib types it as always present, so that tolerance carries a narrow lint exception, the same environment-boundary distrust the `localStorage` guards already express.
**`window`, not `navigator`, is the browser test.** Node ≥ 21 exposes a global `navigator` reporting the machine's own language (`en-US` on the CI runners), so gating on `navigator` would have let a node boot of the client tree resolve to `en` instead of the documented fallback. Gating on `window` keeps every non-browser run on `FALLBACK_LOCALE`.
**An explicit choice is permanent.** `setLocale` persistence is untouched, and the persisted value is consulted first, so a user who picked a language keeps it even when travelling between browser profiles or system languages. Nothing writes the detected locale back to storage: detection is re-derived every boot and stays invisible to the "has the user chosen?" question.
**An explicit choice is durable.** `setLocale` writes through the Host settings API, so a user who picked a language keeps it across browser origins and system languages that share the same DSH home. Nothing writes the detected locale back: detection is re-derived every boot and stays invisible to the “has the user chosen?” question.
**The browser e2e lane now pins the browser language, not just storage.** Scenarios asserting Chinese copy (`access-confirmation`, `models-settings`, `onboarding-deepseek-config`, `settings-chrome`) open their page with `locale: ZH_BROWSER_LOCALE` from `apps/web/tests/support.ts`; `newEnglishPage` keeps pinning `dsh.locale=en`, which still wins over any browser language. `settings-chrome.e2e.ts` gained a scenario opening a second `en-US` page with empty storage and asserting the settings surface comes up English — the assembled-app proof of this feature.

- A first visit from an English browser lands in English, and the Language row still shows the same two self-described options, so the escape hatch is unchanged in either direction.
- `FALLBACK_LOCALE` narrows to its real job — the dictionary fallback and the no-signal answer — and stops standing in for "the user has not chosen".
- Tests that construct a `LocaleService` under jsdom now depend on the environment's `navigator`: specs asserting localized copy declare their browser with one suite-level `usePinnedBrowserLanguages('zh-CN')` (dsh-client-test-runtime), and any future spec asserting a default must do the same. This package's own specs stub the globals directly, because they need shapes the helper deliberately cannot express (absent `languages`, a list decoupled from `language`, no `window` at all).
- Detection cost is one array walk per service construction, and no storage write, so boot behavior and the persisted-state surface are unchanged.
- Detection cost is one array walk per service construction and no implicit settings write; an explicit Host preference may cause one live convergence after plugin activation.
