Windows toasts cannot call back into the daemon, so the Cancel button opens
a talk: link instead: `talk:cancel?id=<id>&port=<port>`. The daemon
registers the talk: URL protocol for the current user (HKCU, no admin) and
points it at `talk uri "%1"`; Windows starts that on the click, and `talk
uri` posts to the new endpoint POST /cancel-item, which cancels only the
announcement with that id (queue.CancelItem). The toast is tagged and
removed again when the announcement ends. For now the toast is shown under
Windows PowerShell's app identity, which unpackaged programs can use
without a Start Menu shortcut.
Verified on the Windows 11 VM: registry entry written by the daemon,
Start-Process "talk:cancel?id=…&port=7800" (what the button does) stops
the playing announcement within two seconds, no toast errors in the log.
Tests: `talk uri` against a real handler on a loopback port (playing vs
waiting id, dead daemon, talk:test, garbage links), POST /cancel-item
process test (only the playing item, waiting one plays next, 400 without
id).

talk is going to be published. Code comments, CLI output, error messages,
daemon log lines, MCP descriptions and results, test names and assertions,
README, spec, skill, build scripts and flake are now English. Only the
spoken announcement texts stay bilingual: the wrap result and the test
sentence are German or English depending on the detected language.
Language fallback is now configurable: `lang = "en" | "de"` (env
TALK_LANG, default en) is used when detection cannot tell (numbers, single
words, ties) and for talk's own announcements. langdetect.Detect takes the
fallback as an argument instead of hard-coding German. `talk setup` asks for
it; `talk doctor` and `talk status` show it.
Vocabulary pinned across packages so the process-boundary tests observe
stable strings: chain log lines ("chain: tier X skipped (not available)",
"falling back to the next tier", "spoken via X"), queue lines ("discarded:
quiet hours ... active", "replaced by toast", "max_age"), CLI notes
("speaking directly", "daemon started at", "no daemon", "nothing to cancel"),
status block with aligned English labels, MCP messages, origin guard 403.
