A tag with a region (en-US, es-419) matches only that variant and reports a miss instead of taking another region. A bare tag takes the variant it means (pt -> pt-BR, es -> es-ES) and falls back to any variant only when that one is missing. `orig` prefers the title's own tag, `-sl orig` resolves, forced and SDH subtitles are picked from their own pools, and the track name no longer strips the region from the cached language.
BREAKING CHANGE: -l es-419 no longer selects es-ES, and language_priority, language_tags and muxing.default_language treat a regional tag as exact.
Missing requested subtitle and audio languages now warn and continue when --best-available is set instead of hard-exiting. Without the flag, missing languages still produce an error and exit, matching the prior strict behavior. Audio missing-lang detection is now symmetric with subtitles.
- add find_missing_langs helper in core/utilities for reuse between s_lang and a_lang paths (skips all/best/orig sentinels)
- refactor dl.py s_lang/a_lang checks to share the helper
- add tests/lang_selection covering match primitives, helper output, and tricky langcodes corners (zh-Hans/zh-Hant/zh-CN/zh-TW/zh-HK, cmn/yue, fil/tl/tgl)
- clean up unused-var ruff F841 in tests/remote/unit/
