/**
 * Recursively load every translation JSON under `messages/<locale>/`
 * and assemble them into a single nested object that next-intl can
 * read via `useTranslations(namespace)`.
 *
 * Convention:
 *   - `common.json` or `index.json` at any folder → its keys are merged
 *     at the current level (no extra namespace).
 *   - any other `<name>.json` → its content becomes a nested key under
 *     `<name>`.
 *   - subdirectories become nested keys themselves.
 *
 * Example:
 *   messages/en/common.json                 → root  (nav.home, footer.*)
 *   messages/en/docs/monitor/index.json     → docs.monitor.*
 *   messages/en/docs/monitor/access-auth.json → docs.monitor.accessAuth.*
 *
 * This runs at build time (Next.js `getRequestConfig` is invoked during
 * static generation under `output: "export"`) so the filesystem walk is
 * fine — no runtime cost.
