Dialects existed but had nowhere to come from. The only way to create
one was the "New dialect" branch buried inside the add-artifact form,
which meant a dialect could only be born as a side effect of adding the
first artifact written in it. A group that wanted to line up the
languages it works in before any source material arrived had no way to
say so, and a dialect created that way was invisible afterwards -- there
was no screen anywhere that listed what the group had defined.
Give the group detail screen a Dialects section between Library and
Projects: the dialects defined in this room, each showing its name over
"<language> · <country>", and an Add Dialect button. The cards do not
navigate -- there is no dialect detail screen to open, and a card that
goes nowhere is worse than one that plainly does not.
The add screen is the add-artifact form with the artifact half removed:
the same chat-room title bar, the same bottom bar with an extended FAB,
the same three fields (name, country, language) styled the same way.
On success it returns to the group with popUpTo<ChatRoomDetailRoute>
{inclusive = true}, replacing the stale detail screen beneath it so the
new dialect is actually in the list when you land -- these lists load
once, in the view model's initiate().
One deliberate difference from AddArtifactViewModel: it wraps its whole
body in `localChatRoom.chatRoom.toMlsGroup()?.let { ... }` and so does
nothing at all, silently, in a NIP-17 room. Nothing under
MantraRepository.addDialect needs an MLS group, so the gate is left out
rather than copied into a new screen as a button that does nothing.
