Subject: [PATCH] fix: add post-processing script to fix i18n nodeDefs array
 corruption (#8718)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary
@lobehub/i18n-cli (GPT-4.1) converts numeric-keyed objects like {"0":
{...}, "1": {...}} into JSON arrays with null gaps, which
crashes vue-i18n path resolution.

Add a post-processing step that converts arrays back to objects after
translation.
