Operator UAT 2026-05-20 rejected the build because the OS notification fired
on `chrome.runtime.onStartup` ("Recording started. I'm watching the last 30
seconds.") implied recording had auto-started when in fact recording was
not running. Per Phase 1 always-on charter recording does NOT auto-start;
the notification is the gesture surface that invites the operator to start
one (notifications.onClicked → startVideoCapture, src/background/index.ts:1038).
Root cause: a single i18n key `notifStartup` conflated the pre-recording
CTA-with-gesture path (the only path actually wired today) and a future
post-manual-start confirmation path. The key's own `.description` field
acknowledged the conflation. Operator-facing text leaned toward the
confirmation phrasing.
Fix (key split, no behavior change):
- `notifStartupCta` — EN: "Mokosh ready. Click to start a recording." /
RU: "Mokosh готов. Нажмите, чтобы начать запись." — wired into the
onStartup handler.
- `notifRecordingStarted` — preserves the original text ("Recording
started. I'm watching the last 30 seconds." / "Запись запущена…") for
a future post-manual-start confirmation flow.
- Fallback constant renamed `NOTIF_STARTUP_FALLBACK` →
`NOTIF_STARTUP_CTA_FALLBACK`; value updated to match the new CTA text.
- Inline test comment in tests/background/onstartup-notification.test.ts
refreshed to reference the new key + fallback. Assertion regex
/recording|recor|click/i covers both fallback + resolved locale variants,
no logic change.
Notification behavior preserved: same id prefix `mokosh-startup-`, same
priority, same icon, same onClicked → startVideoCapture wiring. No new
test-mode symbols (FORBIDDEN_HOOK_STRINGS inventory stays at 12).

Verification:
- npx vitest run --exclude tests/build/** --exclude tests/background/no-test-hooks-in-prod-bundle.test.ts: 104/104 GREEN
- npx vitest run tests/i18n/ tests/background/onstartup-notification.test.ts: 18/18 GREEN (locale-parity 4/4 + onstartup-notification 14/14)
- npx tsc --noEmit clean on src/background/index.ts
The 2 build-dependent vitest gates (tests/build/no-remote-fonts.test.ts +
tests/background/no-test-hooks-in-prod-bundle.test.ts) and npm run test:uat
are deferred to orchestrator-level re-verification after the parallel
Plan 01-10 mark-bundling fix also lands (operator-UAT re-spawn coordinated
by orchestrator).
