fr.js speaks to the user in two registers. Sign-in, the plan, the workout screen and the Coach chat say tu ("Choisis un nom, puis confirme avec ton appareil.", "Ta routine hebdomadaire", "Demande une révision, ou dis quelque chose au coach…"). The sync and pairing messages, the custom exercise sheet, the missed-workout reminders and most of the Coach's intake and consent lines say vous ("Votre serveur est injoignable", "Créer votre propre exercice", "D’où partez-vous ?", "Vous me manquez"). The intake's goal screen shows both at once: "Quel est votre objectif ?" above "Choisis-en une pour continuer."

I counted strings, not lines. A string says vous if it has vous, votre, vos, vôtres or a second-person plural verb (the -ez and -iez forms). It says tu if it has tu, te/t’, toi, ton, ta, tes, tiens, or a tu imperative with no pronoun ("Choisis une icône", "Le serveur est occupé. Réessaie dans un instant."). I picked those imperatives by hand, because "Note" and "Passe" are nouns as often as verbs. 126 strings address the user with vous, and every other string that addresses the user says tu. No string mixes the two. Four more could go either way ("Copie" for 'Copy', "Remplace les noms traduits par les originaux anglais.") and are in neither group.

This PR moves the 126 to tu. Only the register changes: Choisissez → Choisis, votre → ton/ta, vos → tes, vous → tu/te/toi, les vôtres → les tiens, D’où partez-vous ? → D’où pars-tu ?, avant que vous les acceptiez → avant que tu les acceptes. Word order, punctuation and placeholders are untouched. After the change no string says vous to the user.

The server sends the missed-workout reminders from api/nudge-copy.js, which is generated from the packs. Its 9 French lines are regenerated here with node scripts/build-nudge-copy.mjs (in api/).

One string keeps vous. 'e.g. “swap the squats for split squats, and Mondays are short”' ("ex. « remplacez les squats… »") is the user talking to the Coach, and no screen shows it; #415 removes it from every pack. The other four lines the user sends the Coach ('Have a look at my training…', 'Build me a fresh plan…', 'Improve my routine “{0}”.' and the instruction that goes with it) already say tu to the Coach. The title «Garde-à-vous, recrue !» is left alone too, since garde-à-vous there is the drill command.

No string uses vous for several people at once, so nothing needed an exception.

The change was made by Claude, and no native French speaker has checked it.

Tests: the only test that reads these French strings is the api test that checks api/nudge-copy.js against the packs, and it passes. check-locales.mjs: 17 locales, 1,979 keys each. check-source-strings.mjs --strict: 1,555 strings, all in the packs. pt-br-locale.test.js passes with the fingerprint unchanged. The full frontend and api suites pass on 39bc71e.

Of the open PRs that change fr.js, this branch adds a conflict only to #415 (below).

Seven open PRs add French strings that say vous: #373 (26), #314 (14), #371 (5), #312 (2), #441 (2), #222 (1) and #435 (1). Whichever of them lands after this one brings the mix back unless those strings move to tu as well. #165 and #167 added one each, and each now has a commit that moves it to tu.

#415 and this PR conflict in one place in fr.js. That PR deletes the 'e.g. “swap the squats…”' line, and this PR changes the three lines above it ('Replaces your current week…', 'Want something different?', 'Say it in your own words…'). The resolution keeps this PR's three lines and drops the e.g. line. That PR's French consent and intake lines already say tu, so the two agree once both land.
