Subject: [PATCH] feat(i18n): make lib.js strings I18n source keys (strategy
 A); remove dead symbol exports; update tests; add i18n/ scaffolding + en.json
 placeholder

- getStrings().copied now returns template key "Copied %1 to clipboard" (interpolation at QML call site via .arg)
- Removed unused clearExitNode/setExitNode from getStrings (were dead code)
- Tests updated for new shape while preserving coverage
- New tailscalectl/i18n/ with README + en.json for future-proofing (per dms-plugin-dev best practice)
- Exact behavior preserved; no logic changes

+# I18n for tailscalectl
+
+This plugin is fully instrumented with `I18n.tr(...)` (from `qs.Common`) for all user-facing strings.
+
+- Source keys are the American English strings defined in `lib.js` (returned by `getStrings()`, plus bases from `errorMessage()` / `formatError()`).
+- Call sites in `TailscaleWidget.qml` wrap them: `I18n.tr(TailscaleLib.getStrings().foo)` or `I18n.tr(TailscaleLib.getStrings().copied).arg(text)`.
+- Today: falls back to the key (perfect en-US).
+- Future: Drop additional `xx.json` here (or contribute keys to DMS core translations) when a loader or extraction process supports per-plugin locales.
+
+## Current keys (source of truth)
+
+See `getStrings()` and `errorMessage()` in `lib.js` for the canonical list.
+
+Example `en.json` (for documentation / future tools):
+
+```json
+{
+  "Tailscale": "Tailscale",
+  "Connected": "Connected",
+  "Disconnected": "Disconnected",
+  "Exit node: ": "Exit node: ",
+  "None": "None",
+  "Copied %1 to clipboard": "Copied %1 to clipboard",
+  "Invalid exit node hostname": "Invalid exit node hostname",
+  "Failed to connect to Tailscale": "Failed to connect to Tailscale",
+  "Failed to disconnect from Tailscale": "Failed to disconnect from Tailscale",
+  "Failed to set exit node": "Failed to set exit node",
+  "Failed to read Tailscale status": "Failed to read Tailscale status",
+  "Error copying to clipboard": "Error copying to clipboard",
+  "Tailscale command failed": "Tailscale command failed"
+}
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Symbols/glyphs ("×", "↗", "—") are intentionally left as literals in the UI (not run through I18n as they are not linguistic content).
+- Plugin name/description in `plugin.json` and technical IDs ("tailscalectl") remain English.
+- This follows DMS `dms-plugin-dev` best practice for future-proofing even when only en is shipped.
