docs: reflect the config, branding, i18n and plugin-API changes
- config.md: add server.guestIdent, report.service, defaults.lang; correct the
  turnstile.enabled / features.* descriptions; add a Languages section; complete example.
- branding.md: branding.name/icon now drive the favicon, notifications, PWA and push;
  fix the feature-flag notes; add a Languages note.
- plugins.md: document orbit.config() and orbit.i18n (language/t/pick) + a Localization
  section; note they arrived in apiVersion 4.
- overview.md: add the 10-language support bullet.

# Branding & themes
Everything that ties Orbit to a particular network or brand lives in
[`config.json`](https://orbit.tchatou.fr/docs/config/) under `branding` and `defaults` — no code changes, no rebuild.
## Rebrand
```json
{
"branding": {
"name": "ExampleChat",
"icon": "https://example.org/logo.svg",
"url": "https://example.org",
"tagline": "Chat with",
"taglineEm": "everyone.",
"subtitle": "Public rooms, private messages, no signup required."
}
}
```
`branding.name` and `branding.icon` reach **everywhere** the app identifies itself: the connect
screen, the browser tab title + **favicon**, desktop and Web Push notifications, the PWA install
prompt (name + description, localized), the iOS home-screen title, the network icon, and the CTCP
VERSION/SOURCE replies. Point `icon` at your own logo URL and the tab icon follows.
## Themes
Orbit ships four themes:
- **light** — clean, default.
- **dark** — easy on the eyes.
- **yomirc** — a retro mIRC / Windows-95 skin (silver chrome, fixed-width log lines).
- **yomirc-dark** — the retro skin in a dark palette.
Set the default for new users:
```json
{ "defaults": { "theme": "dark" } }
```
Users can switch any time in **Settings → Appearance**. See the [Themes wiki page](https://orbit.tchatou.fr/wiki/themes/).
## Feature flags
Hide whole features per deployment:
```json
{ "features": { "push": true, "imageUpload": true, "register": false } }
```
- `push` — Web Push notifications: the Settings row **and** the re-subscribe-on-connect.
- `imageUpload` — the composer image button **and** paste / drag-drop upload.
- `register` — account self-service: the "Create account" button, the "Forgot password" link, and their FAQ entries (all hidden together).
## Languages
The UI and the bundled plugins are fully translated in **10 languages** (auto-detected). Pin a
default with [`defaults.lang`](https://orbit.tchatou.fr/docs/config/); users can switch in Settings.
