Catalog search: typo tolerance and aliases - #1051

Conversation
Optional "aliases" on adapter JSONs (AdapterMeta, listAdapters, validator, docs) for former names, translations, short forms and umbrella brands. Added to 24 adapters: Mercado Livre, amoCRM, Facebook/Meta on the Meta connectors, Twitter, D365, Navision, SAP B1, lexoffice, base.com, Sendinblue, AdWords and others. Aliases do not change adapter versions.
One search module (backend adapters/catalog-search.ts, byte-identical copy
in frontend lib/, checked by a spec) replaces the scorer in
setup_find_connectors and the store's matchesSearch:
- stopwords in en/de/es/it/pt/fr dropped ("bot de telegram" -> telegram);
- direct matches ranked: whole name or alias, word, word start, other text;
- fewer than 3 direct results: Damerau-Levenshtein fallback on slug, name
and aliases (1 edit for 4-6 letters, 2 for longer, same first letter for
short words), capped and ranked below direct matches;
- a multi-word query with no full match falls back to partial matches;
- a one-letter query matches only an exact slug, name or alias.
catalog_search events now carry missing words from every surface and
match=direct|fuzzy|partial, so typo-rescued searches stay visible.

From the 12 Oct demand review: 11 workspaces got nothing for typos such as "telgram" (Telegram is the most-searched term), and "mercado livre", "amocrm" and "facebook" found nothing.
What changes
One search module,
adapters/catalog-search.ts, now drives three places: the chat find tools (setup_find_connectors/anythingmcp_find_connectors), the store and /welcome. The frontend keeps a copy, and a test fails if the two drift apart.How a query is matched:
Aliases. There is a new optional
aliasesfield on adapters, and 24 adapters get it, e.g. Mercado Livre, amoCRM, Twitter, Sendinblue, OTRS, D365 and GA4.Logging.
catalog_searchevents now carrymissingandmatch(direct/fuzzy/partial), so searches rescued by typo matching are still counted.Unlisted adapters never appear, on Cloud or self-hosted.
