Add new help and error messages with metavars expanded inline

2026-08-16T08:52:13+02:00

For all texts that aren't one-line option descriptions, add versions of
the text where the metavar is expanded inline, instead of referencing
a different translation string inline.  If multiple texts need to use
the same metavar consistently, pick one of them, and reference that
canonical entry in the other entries' commentary.

This is partly based on search engine/AI feedback on how other projects
solve the problem of wanting to explain mini-formats or other
conventions common to multiple messages to translators: there is no
place to put (machine-readable) references or common explanation, so it
is typical instead to refer inline in the translation commentary to
a canonical entry that contains longer-form explanation instead.  This
is rather awkward to work with if there are multiple layers of expansion
(metavars) in the messages, so it is probably easier on the translators
to include the metavar inline and just note that "canonical text X" uses
the same metavar.  Of course, the canonical text should be short enough
to be easily included inline in the commentary.

Set the Python path correctly during pytest invocation

2026-07-05T21:31:22+02:00

Some of our tests spawn subprocesses, and without this, the subprocesses
fail to import code from the `tests` hierarchy (e.g., `tests.data`.)

We have so far sidestepped this issue by requiring `$PYTHONPATH` to be
set accordingly, but it turns out that setting this in the pytest
settings works even more reliably.

In the long run, it might be smarter to use a similar source layout
in `tests` as we already do in `src`: a top-level
`test_derivepassphrase` package, and the `data`, `machinery` and other
tests modules/packages as submodules/subpackages of
`test_derivepassphrase`.
