Sweep the whole blog, not just the front page

153 posts under the SwiftUI tag, plus wwdc25 and wwdc26. Filtering them
against what our code actually contains turned up one real defect and a
short list worth keeping.

The defect is plurals. A checkout screen renders "\(count) coupons",
whose Czech translation is the single form "%lld kupónů" — so it says
"1 kupónů" and "3 kupónů", wrong for every count below five. The article
that surfaced it recommends inflect:, which covers English, Spanish and
six others but not Czech, the language that needs three forms rather than
two. Plural variations in the String Catalog are the fix for us; the
entry says so rather than repeating the article's advice.

Two entries are filed against a future rather than now: swipe action
buttons draw their titles from iOS 26, which will surprise us the day we
add a custom one, and a Form inside a sheet covers the glass behind it,
which starts to matter if the payment sheet ever gets a medium detent.

The rest is recorded as swept and skipped, with reasons — including that
Core Spotlight and the search tab are things we already do correctly, and
that three posts are covered better by the skills shipping inside Xcode.
A sweep that leaves no trace of what it rejected gets repeated.

## Swipe action buttons now show their title
**What it is.** Before iOS 26, a `Button("Delete", systemImage: "trash")`
in a swipe action rendered as the symbol alone. From iOS 26 it draws the
title too, stacked or side by side depending on row height. To get the
old look back, say so explicitly:
```swift
Button("Delete", systemImage: "trash", role: .destructive) { … }
.labelStyle(.iconOnly)
```
**What it replaces.** Nothing of ours yet — our rows use `.onDelete`, so
the system supplies the button and this does not apply. Recorded because
the moment we add a custom swipe action, the rows will look wider than
intended and the cause will not be obvious.

## A Form inside a sheet hides the glass behind it
**What it is.** `Form` and `List` paint their own opaque background, which
covers the Liquid Glass surface of the sheet they sit in. Clearing it
takes two modifiers, because a pushed navigation destination adds a second
opaque layer of its own:
```swift
.scrollContentBackground(.hidden)
.containerBackground(.clear, for: .navigation)
```
**What it replaces.** Nothing yet. Our sheets that pair `NavigationStack`
with `Form` — the payment code sheet, the card editor — are presented at
full height, where the opaque background is what you want anyway. It
starts to matter the day one of them gets a medium detent, which is
plausible for the payment sheet: the amount is three fields, and a
half-height sheet would keep the card visible behind it.
