Research direction

Start with components/streams/stream-timeline.tsx and list every visible label, aria-label, toast and placeholder string. Compare with lib/copy/streams.ts and lib/copy/dashboard.ts to match the existing export shape, then create lib/copy/stream-detail.ts and import from it. Run the existing tests for the stream timeline and update any string imports they need. Done when no user-facing literals remain in the component, tests pass, and the rendered text is unchanged.

Description

frontend good first issue

Description

Most pages now keep user-facing text in lib/copy/* modules, but StreamTimeline still hardcodes its labels, aria-labels, toasts and placeholders inline.

Location

components/streams/stream-timeline.tsx. Existing examples: lib/copy/dashboard.ts, lib/copy/streams.ts.

Task

Move every user-visible string into lib/copy/stream-detail.ts and import it in the component. Keep wording identical.

Acceptance criteria

  • No user-visible string literals remain in the component
  • Existing tests still pass (update string imports in tests if needed)
  • UI is unchanged

Good for contributors because

Mechanical refactor following an established pattern.
