/**
 * Picks the plural form matching `count` for `locale`.
 *
 * @param count - The number to pluralize
 * @param candidates - One string per plural category `locale` distinguishes, in canonical CLDR order
 *   (zero, one, two, few, many, other) filtered to that locale's categories — e.g. 2 entries for 'en'
 *   (one, other), 4 for 'ru' (one, few, many, other). The caller (or its translation catalog) owns
 *   supplying the right length and order for the given locale. In dev, a length mismatch against
 *   `locale`'s actual category count throws instead of silently resolving the wrong form.
 * @param locale - BCP 47 locale used to resolve the matching category via `Intl.PluralRules`.
 *   Invalid locale tags silently fall back to the runtime default — validate the locale upstream.
 * @returns The matching candidate with # replaced by count
 *
 * @example
 * resolvePluralForm({ count: 1, candidates: ['# item', '# items'], locale: 'en' }) // "1 item"
 * resolvePluralForm({ count: 5, candidates: ['# item', '# items'], locale: 'en' }) // "5 items"
