+ * `resolveServerTranslator(namespace)` — server-side companion to the
+ * client `useTranslation(namespace)` hook.
+ *
+ * Resolves the request locale via the same cascade the client hydrates
+ * against (preferred → cookie → Accept-Language → default), constructs
+ * a formatter bound to the registered translation bundle, and returns
+ * a `{ t, locale }` for the requested namespace. The shape mirrors
+ * `useTranslation` so callers can swap surfaces (loader vs component)
+ * without rethinking the API.
+ *
+ * Typical use:
+ *
+ *   import { resolveServerTranslator } from '@byline/host-tanstack-start/i18n'
+ *
+ *   export const sendInviteFn = createServerFn(...).handler(async () => {
+ *     const { t } = await resolveServerTranslator('byline-admin')
+ *     return { subject: t('email.invite.subject') }
+ *   })
