feat(cases): new case form defaults, Tasks as a tab, and spec ids out of user-facing text

[rubenvdlinde]

Three manifest-level changes to the case surfaces, plus a text cleanup on the registers.

The New case form opens with sensible defaults

The action seeds assignee: @me and confidentiality: vertrouwelijk. Both stay editable: props resolve through the token grammar and arrive as the dialog's initial values, not as fixed ones.

Worth knowing about precedence, because it is deliberate: picking a case type still overrides the assignee, since case.caseType carries an x-openregister-prefill mapping defaultAssignee onto assignee. The type knows who handles its cases, so it should win over the current user.

Tasks becomes a tab

Tasks moves into the case-panels strip after Sub-cases, so work items sit beside the case's own structure instead of being a tenth card down the page. It leaves layout in the same move: the tabs widget renders its own children, so a widget left in both renders twice, which that widget's own _note warns about.

Spec ids out of text a user reads

A field's help text carried the requirement it traces to, so the intake channel dropdown told the person filling in a case (REQ-INTAKE-08b, REQ-INTAKE-11a). That is our traceability leaking onto their screen: it means nothing to them and it costs the sentence its ending.

61 strings across the two register files. 54 where the id sat in brackets as a pure annotation and simply goes; 7 where the id was load-bearing and the sentence needed rewriting.

Those 7 are why this is not a regex. My first pass stripped bare ids mechanically and produced "Input type — drives validation in", a sentence ending on a preposition, which is worse than the id it removed. I reverted that and rewrote each of the 7 in the Conduction voice, which also removes their em-dashes per voice rule 8.

Internal _note fields are untouched: traceability belongs there, and nobody reads them in the product.

A note on the diff size. An earlier attempt used a JSON writer that reformatted the whole register files into a 14,739-line diff. This is the surgical version: 18 changed lines per register file, formatting preserved.

Verification

check:manifest PASS against schema 2.29.0, plus check:schema-l10n and check:l10n-js green. Zero spec ids remain in any description / title / label / placeholder / help value across lib/Settings/** and src/**.

Measured on the running instance before the changes: the new-case action still carries its nine includeFields, columns: 2 and the description textarea override, so the #1708/#1713 regression site is intact.
