docs(changelog): correct the two published Seed.locale claims that PR #17013 falsified

`packages/spec/CHANGELOG.md` and `packages/metadata-protocol/CHANGELOG.md`
carry the same compiled 17.4.0 entry for the `Seed.locale` axis. Two of its
present-tense claims were true when written and false by the time the entry
was published: "no first-party call site supplies one" and "the liveness
ledger records `seed.locale` as `experimental`".

Both are corrected to the post-#17013 truth, each followed by one erratum
line naming PR #17013 and the correction date, per the maintainer ruling
recorded on #17026 (director decision batch #119 item 1, 2026-09-12).

The clause "on the default boot path the axis is inert" is falsified by the
same landing and is corrected in the same sentence; the residual bound is
stated rather than dropped — three request builders outside `AppPlugin`
still pass no locale.

 - 615fac3: A publish now refuses an object whose `highlightFields` names a field that does not exist on it — the same gate that refuses a code-authored stack.
 
   `list-view-field-unknown` inspects `view.columns`, and Studio's app builder mints no `view` items at all, so the reference-integrity family had nothing to inspect on the only artifacts the click path authors. What it authors is the **object**, and an object-level field-name list was covered by nothing that could refuse: measured on `origin/main`, `runtimeAuthoringRulesFor('object')` dispatched seven rules with no reference-integrity rule among them, while the object-level existence check that did exist (`semantic-role-field-unknown`) is `warning`, advisory-tier and CLI-only. So `os validate` exited 0 on a dangling reference and the runtime publish door — the only door a Studio, REST `/meta` or MCP author has — said nothing at all.
