Contour: make it a built-in add-on and translate its labels

Review of #5694 asked for two changes. Add-on, not a core tool, as Enclosing Lasso is: - The command is addon.contour.set, in an add-on module of its own (crates/engine/src/cmd/addons/contour.rs) with its tests beside it. - The tool is listed under Object > Plug-ins > Contour and under its own "Contour" heading in All Tools. It has no Basic or Advanced toolbar slot and no default shortcut. The Contour bar is unchanged. - The add-on drawer test lists Contour with the other add-on tools. - Docs (mcp.md, the parity documents, ROADMAP) say add-on and use the new command name; mcp.md gains a Contour add-on section. Translations: rows for "Contour", "Contour Tool", "Sharp", "Bake" and "Turn the Contour into plain paths" in all 26 catalogs ("Round" and "Square" already had them). Drafted from each catalog's own vocabulary (for Bake, the verb it uses for Expand Appearance; a word other than the catalog's Stroke or Path word for the tool's name where they collide); they are not native-speaker reviewed.

+## Contour add-on
+
+Contour is a built-in add-on: it grows or shrinks a copy of a path or shape by a distance, live. Its command is
+`addon.contour.set`; in the desktop app it lives in Object › Plug-ins › Contour and in the Contour Tool (`contour`), which
+the toolbars don't show until it is added from the All Tools drawer (or chosen with `tool.select`); it has no shortcut. A
+floating bar over the selection (the distance, Sharp / Round / Square and Bake) acts through the same commands.
+
+`addon.contour.set {offset, corners?, miterLimit?}` puts a copy of each selected path, shape or compound path directly above
+it with a live Offset Path effect of `offset` points (negative insets), and selects the copies. `corners` is `"sharp"`
+(default), `"round"` or `"square"` (corners cut off flat), `miterLimit` 1 to 500 (4; sharp corners). A selected object that
+already has that effect (a Contour made earlier) has its effect changed instead of getting another, so the same call
+adjusts a Contour. The original is kept, and nothing is baked: `effect.expandAppearance` turns a Contour into plain paths.
+Type, images and groups are left alone; with nothing to offset it says "select paths or shapes". One undo step. Result:
+`{ids, created, updated}`.
+
+The tool (`contour`) drags a distance from the selected shape's edge, outward to grow and inward to shrink: the press
+changes nothing until the pointer moves, a Contour that already stands at a distance continues from it, Shift rounds to
+whole points and Escape cancels. A drag keeps a Contour's own corners and miter limit; a new Contour takes the tool's
+options `corners` and `miterLimit` (`tool.setOption`). A border with a gap is two Contours of one shape (the gap first, so
+it ends up in front), baked with `effect.expandAppearance`, then `object.pathfinder.minusFront`.

 | **Agent automation** | beyond Illustrator | Every command, gesture and dialog is drivable over MCP, the CLI and the control channel; synthetic-input counts, pending events and per-frame control requests are bounded (#1709); what an agent reads and writes on disk can be confined to chosen folders (`--automation-read-root` / `--automation-write-root`, as in PhotoCraft, #832) |
 | **Scrubby numeric fields** | beyond Illustrator | As in Photoshop, dragging a numeric field's label (`W:`, `Opacity:`, the Character panel's icons) left or right steps its value live; one undo step per drag, Escape cancels (#400) |
 | **Align Stroke on live type** | beyond Illustrator | The Stroke panel's Align Stroke works on type's character stroke: inside or outside the glyphs without Create Outlines, the type staying editable (as InDesign does; users have asked Illustrator for it since 2010, e.g. [redd.it/1dwhos6](https://redd.it/1dwhos6)). Canvas, PDF and EPS clip it to its side of the glyphs; SVG keeps the text live and draws the stroke on the glyph outlines (#2294) |
-| **Contour tool** | beyond Illustrator | Drag away from a selected shape's edge to grow a live copy of it, or toward the inside to shrink it (Shift: whole points); the copy carries a live Offset Path effect so it stays editable, with its own fill and stroke, until Bake (Expand Appearance). A second drag on a selected Contour changes it instead of nesting another; Escape cancels. A floating bar above the selection sets the distance and the corners (Sharp, Round, Square); `object.contour` makes or changes one over MCP and the control channel. Two Contours baked and combined with Minus Front give a border with a gap. Paths, shapes and compound paths only; type isn't offset. Tests: `crates/engine/src/tests/contour.rs`, `crates/ui-egui/src/canvas/tests.rs` |
