feat(inbox): translate the read-side protocol strings to English

Browse source 
The injected header, message/reply framing tokens and the unknown-sender
fallback were Norwegian while the rest of the surface is English
(review §6). English is the contract for a distributable plugin; the
forgery-resistance selftest assertions now pin the English tokens
('--- message:', '-> reply:', UNTRUSTED) and failed 3/3 against the
Norwegian read side before the change. Selftest 48/48, ASCII-clean.
