Move all entity-detection lexical patterns (person verbs, pronouns,
dialogue markers, project verbs, stopwords, candidate character class)
out of hardcoded module-level constants and into the entity section of
each locale's JSON in mempalace/i18n/. Adds a languages parameter to
every public function so callers union patterns across the desired
locales. The default stays ("en",), so all existing callers and tests
behave unchanged.
Also adds:
- get_entity_patterns(langs) helper in mempalace/i18n/ that merges
patterns across requested languages, dedupes lists, unions stopwords,
and falls back to English for unknown locales
- MempalaceConfig.entity_languages property + setter, with env var
override (MEMPALACE_ENTITY_LANGUAGES, comma-separated)
- mempalace init --lang en,pt-br flag (persists to config.json)
- Per-language candidate_pattern so non-Latin scripts (Cyrillic,
Devanagari, CJK) can register their own character classes instead of
being silently dropped by the ASCII-only [A-Z][a-z]+ default
- _build_patterns LRU cache keyed by (name, languages) so multi-language
callers don't poison each other's cache slots
Why now: the open language PRs (#760 ru, #773 hi, #778 id, #907 it) only
add CLI strings via mempalace/i18n/. PR #156 (pt-br) is the first that
needed entity_detector changes and inlined a _PTBR variant of every
constant. That doesn't scale past 2-3 languages — every text gets
checked against every language's patterns regardless of relevance, and
candidate extraction still drops accented and non-Latin names.
This PR sets the standard so future locale contributors only edit one
JSON file (no Python changes), and entity detection scales linearly
with how many languages a user actually enabled, not how many ship.
