/**
 * Locale-preserving URL helper.
 *
 * When the operator is browsing on a localized URL (e.g. `/es/about/`) and
 * follows an internal link whose href doesn't include the locale prefix
 * (e.g. `/contact/`), naive navigation drops them back to the default
 * language. This helper rewrites same-origin URLs to keep the current
 * locale prefix in front, matching the `/{lang}/{path}` shape the server
 * already routes.
 *
 * No-op when:
 *   - href is cross-origin (don't touch external links)
 *   - href is malformed (can't parse — leave as-is)
 *   - the current locale IS the default locale (no prefix needed)
 *   - the URL already has a locale prefix (don't double-prefix)
