Adds a new "Read Books" section below "Currently Reading" in the About
page. Book reviews with star ratings and comments are fetched from a
Directus CMS collection (book_reviews) and displayed with the existing
liquid design system. Includes i18n support (EN/DE), show more/less
toggle, and graceful fallback when the CMS collection does not exist yet.

Move hardcoded labels/strings in About, Projects, Contact form, Footer and Consent banner into next-intl message files (en/de) so content is maintained in one place.

Do not decide consent during SSR. Read consent cookie after mount and only render the banner once consent is loaded, avoiding both hydration errors and the brief banner flash on reload.
Co-authored-by: dennis <dennis@konkol.net>
Initialize consent state from cookie synchronously so the banner only shows when no choice was made.
fix(api): fail-soft when DB schema missing
Return null/empty content for CMS endpoints when migrations are not applied instead of crashing with Prisma P2021/P2022.
fix(n8n): parse status response defensively
Handle empty/invalid JSON bodies from n8n to prevent activity feed from getting stuck.

Use locale-prefixed <Link> elements for EN/DE so language switching works even when client-side hydration is broken.
Co-authored-by: dennis <dennis@konkol.net>
Switch locales via window.location.assign to guarantee the URL and messages update even if client-side router navigation is blocked.
Co-authored-by: dennis <dennis@konkol.net>
Stop setting NEXT_LOCALE cookie client-side and refresh after navigation, avoiding swallowed cookie errors that can prevent router.push from switching languages.
Co-authored-by: dennis <dennis@konkol.net>
Move ConsentBanner rendering into the locale layout so next-intl context is always available (prevents missing provider errors).
fix(activity-feed): use dark styling for disabled state
Avoid white disabled cards so the feed never appears as a white/transparent block after reload.
test(e2e): assert nav text changes on locale switch
Strengthen i18n test to verify translated labels.
Co-authored-by: dennis <dennis@konkol.net>
Use next-intl translations instead of reading NEXT_LOCALE cookie once, so banner text updates immediately when switching languages.
fix(activity-feed): make loading UI match dark theme
Avoid the white loading card on hard reload by using the same dark styling as the normal feed.
Co-authored-by: dennis <dennis@konkol.net>
Disable initial animations for the feed's fallback UIs so a hard reload can't leave the component stuck small/transparent before any state updates.
Co-authored-by: dennis <dennis@konkol.net>
Read tracking preference after mount instead of during initial render to prevent SSR/client divergence that can leave the feed stuck in its initial (small/transparent) styles after page reload.
Co-authored-by: dennis <dennis@konkol.net>
Avoid shared dev rate-limit bucket for n8n status and fall back to a stable offline state when the status call fails, preventing the widget from getting stuck in the small translucent loading UI.
