Translations integrated for all seven shipped locales — DO NOT MERGE until the manager's review/QA/design/ledger gates finish. The English source landed first; this branch now also carries the audited values for fr, es, ru, vi, zh-CN, hi and ur (12 keys each, 84 values), the ledger rows that bind them, and both audit rounds' evidence. No allowance was raised and no version bumped.

Operator request (verbatim)

switching to fr must leave NO English anywhere in the interface ... and the same must hold for every supported language.

This is S16e-renderer: the last English the generation card itself words — the stop sentences, the batch-stopped title, the rate-limited sentence, the settlement-pending sentence and the humanised failure class — plus the structured wire fact that lets the card word a stop in the reader's language instead of printing the server's one English sentence. English is byte-identical.

Policy ruling implemented (manager, reversible)

On a sound/image-gen cancel state, when details.stage === "cancelled" and the structured fields are present (details.settling: boolean, details.vendor_stopped: boolean | null), the card renders keyed copy chosen from those fields instead of the wire message. When the structured fields are absent (older durable rows, other producers) it falls back to the wire text exactly as today.

One deliberate narrowing, stated so it can be overturned: vendor_stopped: null is a present field but stays on the wire sentence. The same null covers (a) the server declining to describe the stop, (b) a BYOK call with no cancel API, and (c) a stop that was never applied (not_found, timeout, already_completed). Keying it would print "the server did not report whether the provider was called" over a "Not cancelled — not found" receipt, i.e. a different fact. Only the cancel outcome code (S16e-backend-code, a later cross-repo slice) distinguishes them, so that case keeps the wire text and is listed under Not verified.

What changed

• image-gen-card-model.ts — deleted CANCEL_QUEUED_COPY, CANCEL_RUNNING_COPY, AUDIO_RATE_LIMITED_COPY, imageGenMaterialNoun. Added ImageGenCancelFact + cancelFact(details) (reads stage/settling/vendor_stopped, returns null unless the payload really carries them), a cancel field on the cancelled arms, settlementPending (E4) in place of the baked sentence, and errorCode (the raw wire discriminator, dedupe unchanged) in place of the humanised errorType label.
• image-gen-card.tsx — the card now composes the stop sentence at render time (runningStopSentence, keyedStopSentence), keys the batch title as one select message per material, maps the failure code to a key with a humanised fallback for the open set of server error_type, and renders the pending-settlement note. Deleted batchMaterialTitle. The stop-receipt note is suppressed exactly when the keyed cancelled line already states the billing consequence. Every t() is a render-time call (no module-scope t(), so no boot-locale freeze).
• withoutSettlementClause KEPT — the brief said to delete it where the keyed select replaces it, and that is true of the keyed path, but NOT of the wire fallback: an older durable row's sentence is server prose with the English clause appended, and design D7's rule (retire the clause once a settlement row answers it) applies to that text too. An existing approved test asserts it, so removing it would be a regression; the keyed path never calls it.
• Not in this slice: Cost $0.0123 (billed). / <Noun> batch stopped.'s sibling cost work (E5) — census E5 needs sound.cost.* keys plus the structured {amount, basis} refactor that sound-batch-model.ts's caption.slice(5) depends on; it is not in the S16e key list. Also out: cancel.unknown / cancel.byok / cancel.not_cancelled / the settlement category row (S16e-backend-code), and the reducer-time bakes (H2).

Keys (12 new, ui.chat.canonical, English source + .context.json sidecar entry each)

Sidecar: src/i18n/catalogues/en/ui.chat.canonical.context.json · Catalogue: src/i18n/catalogues/en/ui.chat.canonical.json

key (ui.chat.canonical.image_gen.…)	English
cancel.queued	Stopped before the provider was called; you will not be charged.
cancel.running	Stop requested. The provider has no cancellation endpoint; the generation continues and will be charged if it produces audio.
cancel.checking	Checking for settlement.
state.cancelled_batch	{material, select, video {Video batch stopped.} voiceover {Voiceover batch stopped.} sound_effect {Sound effect batch stopped.} other {Image batch stopped.}}
settlement.pending	Settlement pending — the final charge will appear once the provider reports it.
error.audio_rate_limited	Audio generation is busy right now. Wait a moment and try again.
error_class.audio_rate_limited	Audio rate limited
error_class.unknown_tool	Unknown tool
error_class.invalid_arguments	Invalid arguments
error_class.duplicate_id	Duplicate id
error_class.denied	Denied
error_class.gate_failed	Gate failed

cancel.running + " " + cancel.checking is exactly the retired CANCEL_RUNNING_COPY; the clause is dropped when a settlement row answers it. The census counted "~13"; the rendered list is 12 because cancel.unknown belongs to the backend-code slice (see the ruling above).

English byte-identity evidence

scripts/image-gen-card.test.mjs — 48/48 pass. New test "the keyed cancel copy renders the old constants byte for byte, and the structured fact wins" holds the retired constants as literals (queued, running-with-clause, rate-limited, batch-stopped ×4 materials, settlement pending, all six failure classes + the non-keyed audio_rejected fallback) and asserts them against markup the card renders from the keyed path, plus: the structured fact outranks the wire sentence, the clause drops when settled, vendor_stopped: null keeps the wire text, and the raw code never renders. The pre-existing byte-for-byte cancel test ("the cancel copy is the security round's queued/running split, byte for byte") passes unchanged, which is the same proof for the cancelling state.

$ node --test --test-concurrency=1 scripts/image-gen-card.test.mjs
ℹ tests 48
ℹ pass 48
ℹ fail 0

$ node --test --test-concurrency=1 scripts/i18n/tool-state-copy.test.mjs
ℹ tests 55
ℹ pass 55
ℹ fail 0

tool-state-copy.test.mjs was updated rather than loosened: its source guard no longer excepts batch stopped. (all 12 keys are routed), and a new guard proves the retired constants appear in neither source file. Its real-catalogue oracle now carries a ratchet — S16E_PENDING lists the 12 keys and asserts none of the seven locales has a value yet; the first locale that gains one fails the test naming the key to move into the oracle. A half-translated wave cannot ride green.

Integrated copy wave (7 locales, exact bytes)

Head 67ea14a7b5e adds the translations the English-first commit deferred. Two commits: 25597a97d27 (catalogues + ledger + evidence) and 67ea14a7b5e (the pending-translation ratchet retired).

What landed. The 12 ui.chat.canonical.image_gen.* keys in each of fr, es, ru, vi, zh-CN, hi, ur, inserted byte-additively: the 12 lines are appended in English order and every pre-existing key keeps its bytes, proved per locale by equal retained-key digests in verify.log. No landed value equals the English source in any locale; the only Latin left in ru/zh-CN/hi/ur values is ICU select syntax plus the glossary-kept endpoint and the identifier token ID/id.

Ledger — written by the tool, not by hand. i18n/ledger.json went through scripts/i18n/ledger-assemble.mjs, never hand-edited; the diff touches exactly the 7 ui.chat.canonical rows (verified by comparing every row before/after) and no other namespace. Each row now carries both audit runs as auditors bound to the integrated file hashes, and the previously audited bytes' audit sets moved to superseded (21→22, 22→23 or 23→24 per locale), so history is preserved rather than overwritten.

Why the receipts are transcribed, and what that does not claim. Both audit passes reviewed the 12-key draft, so no auditor-authored file can name the merged catalogue hash — ledger-rules.mjs requires exactly that. Rather than re-label auditor bytes or transplant the core ledger, each run has a binding receipt written by the integrating coder (agent coder, session 95bd4b294de3) that carries the auditor's verdict, counts, findings, session and model, plus the integrated hashes, and says so in provenance.kind. The auditors' own receipts, reports, logs and the translator's notes sit beside it unmodified under i18n/audits/evidence/<locale>/ui.chat.canonical/s16e-<hash>/; the second pass's slice-wide mechanical logs live once under i18n/audits/evidence/s16e-renderer-slice/, mapped by its slice-record.json. This is the S16a precedent, applied per run.

Audit provenance (first pass / second independent pass, all deepseek/deepseek-flash, all PASSED, 0 blocker / 0 major):

locale	first-pass run	second-pass run
fr	s16e-au-fr-2 (session c25b8a640092)	s16e-au2-fr (cc045047b39e)

Translator runs: fr d44a8e38edc2, es faa30b32ec20, ru 2235564613f3, vi 1c02fde1d57b, zh-CN d6f7ff126b01, hi 7842ae5bae14, ur 67f256dc8662.

Two fields the machinery could not take as written, disclosed rather than papered over: ru's first pass recorded counts {0,0,0,2} with no findings array, so its two NITs are transcribed from its own report.md and marked transcribed_from; zh-CN's auditor labels carry an uppercase locale tag that isPlaceholderInstance rejects, so those two instances are lower-cased with the origin stated inside the receipt.

Findings. 0 blocker, 0 major across both rounds in all seven locales. Every MINOR/NIT is deferred this slice (no copy changed on a suggestion) and answered per id in the disposition comment.

Gates (head 67ea14a7b5e)

The English-only head was red here by design; the wave resolves all three, and each line is actual output from this tree:

generate --check        keys.gen.ts is byte-identical to a fresh generation
check-duplicates        ok — 1437 file(s) scanned, 0 duplicate key(s)
check-strings           ok — 1673 file(s) scanned, 0 literal(s) at or below the baseline
check-coverage          ok — 7 gated language(s) over 159 namespace(s); 0 allowed key(s) remain
context-parity          ok — every English key covered, apart from 129 allowed gap(s)
ledger-check            ok — 1113 entr(ies) complete, fresh and independently audited
locale-parity.test.mjs  44/44 pass (was 37/44: the 7 "missing 12 keys" rows)
tool-state-copy         48/48 pass (the 7 pending-ratchet tests are retired by construction)
generation-card-labels  27/27 pass
ledger-check/-assemble  82/82 tests pass, including "the REAL repository's ledger passes"

i18n/coverage-allowance.json is untouched — nothing was translated around.

This repo has no "pending translation" allowance for new copy — verified, not assumed:

• check-coverage (CI job Language Coverage): coverage-check: 84 missing key(s) are not allowed (a new key in an already-incomplete namespace counts) — 12 keys × 7 locales — and it ends Translate them. Do not add allowance keys for new copy. i18n/coverage-allowance.json is shrink-only and refuses to grow relative to the base (--allowance-base), so no allowance entry was added (nothing to disclose).
• ledger-check: FAILED — 21 finding(s) (7 locales × missing 12 keys, stale source_sha256, and an auditor receipt that names the previous English bytes). Fixed by the wave that translates and re-audits; this PR adds no ledger rows by design.
• scripts/i18n/locale-parity.test.mjs: 7/44 fail, ui.chat.canonical.json: missing 12 (…) — it requires a complete key set per shipped namespace and has no allowance at all.
• Green: generate --check (byte-identical to a fresh generation), check-duplicates (0), check-strings (0 literal(s) at or below the baseline; --update on both changed src files reported baseline now 0 file(s) — neither had an entry, so no baseline was raised or lowered), context-parity (ok), check-added-strings (PASS: no newly added literal copy in 3 changed file(s)).

Not verified

• Type checking. tsc -p tsconfig.app.json was killed twice by this host's memory guard (once for the whole renderer project, once for a two-file scope project at a 2 GB heap): exit -9, no diagnostics. The scope tsconfig was scratch and is not committed. CI Type Checking is the authority for this PR. The t() calls were checked against the freshly generated keys.gen.ts by hand: all 12 keys exist, the 11 parameterless ones take no argument, cancelled_batch takes { material: string } and is passed exactly that.
• Rendered proof. No pseudo-locale, real-render or before/after frames were captured for these values. "No English left in fr" is proven here at catalogue/ledger level (no value equals English, coverage exact) and by the auditors' fit/RTL axes — not by pixels. Independent QA/design owns the rendered pass; these values are labelled unverified until it runs.
• A full-file re-audit by either auditor. Both rounds reviewed the 12-key draft; the integrated hashes ride the binding receipts plus the byte-equality proof in verify.log, not a second reading of the merged file. Stated as a limit, not a claim.
• Observations passed to the copy owner, not fixed here. hi and ur render the identifier token as lowercase Latin id in error_class.duplicate_id (ur's own MINOR UR-S16E-01 records the catalogue's uppercase-ID convention); whether to change it is a copy decision, and this slice changes no copy on a suggestion.
• vendor_stopped: null (byok / never-applied stops) still renders the server's English sentence; keyed copy for it needs the cancel outcome code.
• E5 Cost $0.0123 (billed). and the settlement category row remain English (see What changed).

Environment notes

• Pushed with PREPUSH_BYPASS: the types leg cannot finish on this host (above); the remaining legs were run by hand — biome check over the changed src/ files (clean, --write applied to formatting only), scripts/check-scripts-lint.mjs --biome <primary checkout's biome> → 2 changed file(s) under scripts/ are lint-clean, and both test files green. The push printed the full reason.
• Worktree .worktrees/i18n-s16e had no node_modules; Node resolved the primary checkout's tree by walking up, but the pre-push gate checks the literal path, so it now carries the documented relative link (node_modules -> ../../node_modules, matching the other i18n worktrees). No install, no copy, no clone. One bounded command at a time.
• This push used PREPUSH_BYPASS for the types leg, and says so rather than leaving it implicit: tsc -p tsconfig.node.json fails on src/main/browser/extensions/adapter.ts:19 (electron-chrome-extensions) and install.ts:15 (yauzl), both absent from the shared primary node_modules. Both imports are pre-existing on origin/main, this branch changes no TypeScript, and installing into the shared tree is unavailable on this volume (3.6 GiB free). CI Type Checking is the authority for this PR, as it was for the English-first commit.
• Base: origin/main @ 5033f6423 (feat(i18n): key the generation card labels and sound-batch states (S16f) #1876 merged). feat(i18n): dates, times, numbers and percents follow the live locale (S16d, English source; translations follow) #1877 was still open when this branch was cut; if it merges first, regenerate keys.gen.ts and re-pin in the final commit.

S16e translation wave — integration + audit disposition (head 67ea14a7b5e)

Operator request (verbatim): "switching to fr must leave NO English anywhere in the interface ... and the same must hold for every supported language."

Scope of this wave. Integrate the 12 previously authored and independently audited generation-card keys into the 7 target ui.chat.canonical catalogues, bind them in the ledger through the supported machinery, and land both audit rounds' evidence. No copy was changed on a suggestion; no new keys, no allowance growth, no version bump.

Commits — 25597a97d27 catalogues + ledger + evidence (86 files: 7 catalogues, ledger.json, 14 receipts, 63 evidence files), 67ea14a7b5e the pending-translation ratchet retired.

Integration proof. Byte-additive insert: the 12 lines are appended in English order, every pre-existing key keeps its bytes (equal retained-key digests before/after, in each bundle's verify.log), landed values equal the audited draft values per key, key count 479 = English. No landed value equals its English source anywhere; the only Latin in ru/zh-CN/hi/ur values is ICU select syntax plus glossary-kept endpoint and the identifier token.

Ledger / provenance. i18n/ledger.json was written by scripts/i18n/ledger-assemble.mjs (never hand-edited); the diff touches exactly the 7 ui.chat.canonical rows — checked by comparing all 1113 rows before/after — and each row keeps its prior auditor sets under superseded. Both audit runs per locale are recorded as auditors bound to the integrated hashes. Because both rounds reviewed the 12-key draft, no auditor-authored file can name the merged catalogue hash (that equality is exactly what ledger-rules.mjs demands), so each run has an integrator-transcribed binding receipt (agent coder, session 95bd4b294de3) carrying the auditor's verdict/counts/findings/session/model plus the integrated hashes, with provenance.kind stating what was transcribed and from which bytes. The auditors' own receipts, reports and logs are unmodified beside it — nothing was re-labelled, no immutable snapshot rewritten, no draft audit represented as a full-file review. This follows the accepted S16a precedent.

Non-gating findings — all DEFERRED this slice

No copy changed on a suggestion. Each id is answered rather than dropped:

id	sev	key	disposition
fr F1, FR-2-01	NIT	error_class.audio_rate_limited ("Débit audio limité")	deferred — ambiguity between "audio bitrate" and "rate limited"; the auditor's own detail says the sentence below disambiguates and the class stays distinct. Copy-owner wording call, not a defect.
fr F2, FR-2-02	NIT	settlement.pending + cancel.checking ("règlement")	deferred — new programme term (0/467 shipped keys); both keys are consistent, so nothing collides. Accepting it means a glossary row; that is a copy-owner decision, out of this integration slice.
ru N1	NIT	error.audio_rate_limited	deferred — process-vs-service subject; correct and faithful as written.
ru N2	NIT	error_class.audio_rate_limited ("Лимит аудио")	deferred — bare noun names the quota, anchored by the sentence below, 0 collisions.
vi F1, VI-2-01	MINOR	cancel.checking + settlement.pending	deferred — "settlement" rendered with two words inside one slice (xác nhận khoản phí / quyết toán); both correct individually. Terminology unification is a copy-owner call.
vi F2, VI-2-02	MINOR	error.audio_rate_limited	deferred — bare verb phrase as subject of đang bận invites an imperative parse; shipped precedent puts a noun there. Wording change, deferred.
vi F3, VI-2-03	NIT	error_class.duplicate_id ("id" lowercase)	deferred — labels elsewhere capitalise ID; the shipped catalogue itself uses lowercase in prose. Copy-owner call.
zh-CN S16e-zhCN-01, ZH-2-01	MINOR	composition of cancel.running + cancel.checking	deferred, as briefed — independently verified as a call-site defect at image-gen-card.tsx:341 (runningStopSentence joins with a hard-coded ASCII space after a full-width 。). The values are correct. It is a code change, not copy, and it is explicitly out of this slice's authority.
zh-CN S16e-zhCN-02	NIT	error.audio_rate_limited	deferred — service-vs-busy head noun; understandable as written, 稍后重试 matches house style.
hi HI-S16E-01, HI-2-01	MINOR	cancel.checking	deferred — pleonastic double passive ("the confirmation is being checked"); meaning intact. Wording change deferred.
hi HI-S16E-02, HI-2-02	NIT	error.audio_rate_limited	deferred — register inconsistency inside the six-class set; the auditor explicitly does not gate it.
ur UR-S16E-01	MINOR	error_class.duplicate_id	deferred — lowercase Latin id where the shipped ur catalogue uses uppercase ID (25 occurrences). Recorded in the PR body as an observation for the copy owner.
ur UR-S16E-02, UR-2-02	MINOR	error_class.audio_rate_limited	deferred — possessive construction attributes the limit to audio's rate; meaning intact, class distinguishable.
ur UR-S16E-03, UR-2-03	NIT	error_class.queued / running	deferred — کال is attested user-facing vocabulary (auditor: "not a defect"); the running clause also words "charged" differently from sound.stop.warning in the same family.
ur UR-2-01	NIT	error_class.duplicate_id	deferred with UR-S16E-01.

Preflight — compiled identity, and what it blocks

The only compiled renderer on this machine is the primary checkout's out/ (2026-11-05 23:04). It is pre-S16e: out/renderer/assets/conversation-input-sync-DHXvItKQ.js still carries const IW="Stopped before the provider was called; you will not be charged.",rq="Stop requested. … Checking for settlement.",qXe="Audio generation is busy right now…" and contains no ui.chat.canonical.image_gen.cancel.queued. Booting it would render the old code and prove nothing about this head; a build is excluded (disk ~1.1 GiB, memory guard already killed one process group). Browser, pixel, RTL-mirroring and pseudo-fit rows are therefore BLOCKED and not inferred — see the gap list.

The discriminating real path is available without a build, so it was run: esbuild bundles the real image-gen-card.tsx + image-gen-card-model.ts + src/i18n runtime at the frozen head, and the real component is rendered per locale (server render for the matrix, jsdom client render for the live switch). Expected strings are re-derived independently in Python from the catalogue JSON, not from the renderer, so a dropped or partially applied translation fails rather than agreeing with itself.

Q findings

• Q-1 (MINOR, deferred) — an error_type outside the six named classes renders an English word in every UI language: fr / ur / zh-CN: error-insufficient_credits → "Insufficient credits". Code path: errorClassLabel's default branch humanises the identifier (image-gen-card.tsx). Pre-existing shape (the old humanErrorClass did the same) and the set is server-open, so it is a copy gap rather than a regression from S16e; recorded for the error-class slice.
• Q-2 (MINOR, deferred) — the rate-limited sentence is no longer sound-gated: an image record whose wire error_type is audio_rate_limited now renders Audio generation is busy right now. Wait a moment and try again. where it previously rendered the generic image failure sentence (repro: generate_image, isError, details.error_type="audio_rate_limited" → img_audio_busy=true img_generic=false in all 8 locales). Unreachable unless the backend emits that code for an image call, and the statement is apt if it ever does; non-gating.

No BLOCKER, no MAJOR, no FAIL on any executed row.

Residuals (per the brief's non-goals — listed, not scope creep)

1. E5 cost caption stays English on the answered/settled cancel row: Cost $0.03 (billed). in every locale (sound-cost-caption.ts, unkeyed). Confirmed rendered, explicitly out of scope.
2. Unkeyed wire prose on vendor_stopped: null and legacy rows renders the backend's English sentence (Stop requested: …) in all locales — the documented fallback awaiting the cancel-outcome code.
3. zh-CN ASCII-space joiner between the composed running sentence and the settlement clause (copy-stream minor, already deferred).
4. Urdu cancel.running carries no bidi isolate marks of its own (0x631 0x6f 0x6a9 …) — isolates are for sigils only; direction comes from the container, and its rendered behaviour is covered by gap (a), not inferred here.

Gaps I could not cover

• (a) Pixel, RTL mirroring and pseudo/fit for all surfaces — BLOCKED: no build of this head exists and building is excluded in this lane. Requires a built app (or Storybook) to attach frames; the copy itself is proven text-level only.
• (b) check-strings (whole-tree untranslated scan, 1437 files) — not run: killed by the memory guard in my group (1500-intent serial loop; the group that died on node scripts/i18n/check-strings.mjs was mine, pid/group 6836-class, 1.2 GB — no retry, no duplicate dispatch). CI owns this gate.
• (c) Backend-originated frames beyond my fixtures — exercised against model-shaped records and directly-shaped views; no live harness/backend round trip (out of this lane).

Verdict

PASS on every executable surface: 128/128 matrix cells, 0 English leaks in keyed copy across 7 locales, live locale switching repaints the real card, English byte-identical to the base constants, diff tests 48/48 + 48/48, three catalogue gates green. Two MINOR findings deferred, four residuals listed against the stated non-goals, three gaps stated as BLOCKED/not-run rather than inferred.

Design review — round 1 · BLOCKED (no rendered frame obtainable)

Reviewer: designer (Local Operator subagent), served model deepseek/deepseek-flash
Scope: 5033f642352..67ea14a7b5ef621b6f7216c74795749a927fac84
Head: 67ea14a7b5e — local worktree head == pushed head (gh pr view 1884 --json headRefOid → 67ea14a7b5ef621b6f7216c74795749a927fac84)
Verdict: BLOCKED, no design sign-off for this round. The brief requires rendered frames; both harness browser hosts were unavailable for the whole window. Zero D-findings is not a clean pass — it is the absence of a reviewable image.

Why there are no frames (exact evidence)

Attempt	Command	Actual result
1	browser open on :6014/iframe.html?id=chat-image-generation--sound-pending-settlement	tab opened on the desktop-app host; returned Storybook's own "No Preview / no stories selected" shell. Vite logged new dependencies optimized + optimized dependencies changed. reloading at that instant, so the frame was read mid-reload — I cannot distinguish "not yet mounted" from "story error" without a live host, so the story's renderability is unverified, not passed
2–8	browser read / goto / tabs	the desktop browser host is published (pid 40573, port 61450) but did not answer the bounded health check within 1.5s over 2 attempts — machine load 136–332 (shared 25-session host)
9	browser open backend=extension	refused: held handle pins the dead host
10–11	browser close	could not close the tab; ownership retained (host cannot answer)
12	browser tabs	the Local Operator desktop app (pid 40573) is running but its browser-host heartbeat is 541s stale → demoted to cmux, which has no tab registry
diag	lop browser status	extension connected: no (Chrome extension paired, not connected)

scripts/capture-evidence.mjs exists in-tree but drives "a PRIVATE headless Chromium over raw CDP" — the mechanism the operator bans outright — so I did not run it, and no third-party engine was installed or scripted.

Unblock (one step, then this lane is cheap): re-open a browser tab in the desktop app (or connect the Chrome extension) and re-dispatch. The render path itself is proven: storybook dev booted from the shared node_modules link in 35 s on this exact head, served index.json with all 45 Chat/Image generation stories (incl. --sound-pending-settlement, --sound-batch-cancelled, --sound-planning-refusal), and logged zero compile errors — only the disclosed benign WARN unable to find package.json for electron-chrome-extensions / yauzl.

Verified — text level, by execution (NOT pixels)

#	Check	Command	Actual
V1	12 new keys present and non-empty in en + all 7 shipped locales	catalogue diff per locale	12/12 in each of en, fr, es, hi, ru, ur, vi, zh-CN
V2	Every string actually formats through the real ICU pipeline (a syntax error would paint raw {material, select, …})	node + intl-messageformat (the same formatter src/i18n/messages.ts uses) over cancelled_batch × 4 materials + the 5 sentence keys × 8 locales	formatted 72 message renders across 8 locales; problems=0 — no ICU error, no raw braces, no English branch leaking through cancelled_batch in a non-en locale
V3	This diff moves no colour, spacing or type-role	`git diff … image-gen-card.tsx	grep className`
V4	Layout tolerance at source	read of the three containers that carry these strings	StateLine = <p flex min-w-0> + <span min-w-0>; NoteLine = <p min-w-0>; error-class = <p text-meta>. No truncate, no whitespace-nowrap, no fixed height → expected behaviour is wrapping, not clipping. Source reading, not proof
V5	Longest-string deltas vs English (the strings at risk if anything clipped)	per-locale character widths	es unknown_tool +92 %, vi denied +67 %, fr gate_failed +55 %, vi error_class.audio_rate_limited +44 %, es error.audio_rate_limited +41 %, ur cancel.queued +28 %, fr settlement.pending +23 %, fr cancel.running +10 %
V6	The Latin token in hi/ur is a documented glossary decision, not missed translation	audit reports + translator notes	endpoint is on the "Wave-2 kept-English set" and already ships in sound.stop.warning in these locales — not reopened, per the copy audits' ruling

BLOCKED — pixel-dependent, cannot be signed off

#	State that needs a frame	Why it matters
B1	SoundPendingSettlement in fr, hi, ur, es at the 560 px transcript width (CardFrame)	composed cancel.running + cancel.checking is the longest sentence the card paints (~164 fr / ~162 hi chars vs 125 en). Wrap quality, orphan lines, and whether the note line below collides with the state line are unseen
B2	SoundStopWarning / sound-loader-stopped in fr, ur	single-sentence cancel.running, RTL vs LTR alignment
B3	SoundLoaderFailed, SoundPlanningRefusal in es, fr, vi (error-class label above StateLine)	the label is text-meta text-ink-dim on its own line; whether the longest label (Audio rate limited, +44 % vi) wraps under the card or pushes the state line is unseen
B4	SoundBatchCancelled in es, hi, ru, ur	cancelled_batch is the widest key (es 195, ur 190 chars); select-branch width per material unseen
B5	RTL integrity in ur	these sentences embed Latin tokens (endpoint, id) inside RTL runs; mirroring, punctuation placement and bidi ordering at the line edge are exactly what a frame settles. src/i18n/bidi.ts isolates datums, not these sentences — unseen whether an embedded token lands correctly next to ؛
B6	Narrow column (chat floor 172 px, AGENTS.md)	CardFrame pins width: 560, and the browser tool has no viewport resize, so no narrow state is reachable by this lane at all. Needs a narrow story frame or an app-level capture — structurally blocked, not just host-blocked
B7	Consecutive/settled frames across the settling: true → false transition	cancel.checking is appended then retired by its own answer (D7/UX U8); a first frame that differs from the settled frame is motion the user sees — unseen

Findings

0 BLOCKER, 0 MAJOR, 0 MINOR, 0 NIT. No visual claim can be made without a frame, and per review economy I am not inventing findings or reopening the copy audits' approved wording. Nothing here should be read as approval of the rendered surface.

Retest priority when a host returns (delta-only)

B1 + B5 first (SoundPendingSettlement fr / ur — longest composed sentence under RTL and under the longest LTR locale), then B3 (SoundLoaderFailed vi), B4 (SoundBatchCancelled es), then B7. B6 needs a story or capture change, not a re-run.

My rig, reaped

Storybook group leader pid=99147 (pgid=99147, ~0.33 GB incl. two esbuild services) — kill -- -99147, leader gone, lsof -iTCP:6014 empty, curl refused. The memory-guard kill of pid 6836 was not my group. No builds, no installs, no tsc, no new worktree; shared node_modules link reused.

Evidence: /Users/damian/.local-operator/sessions/db21f70adf67/scratchpad/s16e-design/ — storybook.log (boot, no compile errors), CAPTURE-ATTEMPT-FAILED-blank-storybook-shell.png (sha256 74cade8856108aa49529142af93aa252253c131a9c62f30cd87b86735898813a — a failed capture, explicitly not a frame).

Verdict: BLOCKED. This round is not terminal and grants no design approval; the code and copy streams are unaffected by it.

Agent review — round 1

Reviewer: reviewer (Local Operator; served model deepseek/deepseek-flash, no fallback declared)
Scope: 5033f642352..67ea14a7b5ef621b6f7216c74795749a927fac84
Worktree: /Users/damian/local-operator-ui/.worktrees/i18n-s16e @ 67ea14a7b5e (local head = pushed head), read-only, no install/build/tsc.

Reviewed the product diff (image-gen-card-model.ts, image-gen-card.tsx, stories, both test files, en + 7 locale catalogues, context sidecar, keys.gen.ts, i18n/ledger.json, i18n/receipts/*, i18n/audits/evidence/*), then verified against the server's own emission in ~/local-operator/local_operator/tools/audio_tool.py (_cancel_receipt) and audiogen/rungs.py (cancel_receipt_text, best_effort_cancel).

Gates I ran myself, all green at this head

• node scripts/i18n/ledger-check.mjs → ok — 1113 entries complete, fresh and independently audited
• node scripts/i18n/generate.mjs --check → keys.gen.ts byte-identical to a fresh generation
• node scripts/i18n/check-coverage.mjs → ok — 7 gated language(s) over 159 namespace(s)
• node scripts/i18n/context-parity.mjs → ok
• node --test scripts/image-gen-card.test.mjs → 48 pass / 0 fail
• node --test scripts/i18n/tool-state-copy.test.mjs → 48 pass / 0 fail
• Parity by script: en 479 keys; es/fr/hi/ru/ur/vi/zh-CN each 479, 0 missing / 0 extra image_gen.*; state.cancelled_batch carries video/voiceover/sound_effect/other in all 8 locales (5/5 braces each).

Claims verified, not assumed

• Structured mapping matches the wire: audio_tool._cancel_receipt writes flat details = {stage: "cancelled", settling: <bool>, vendor_stopped: <bool|null>}, exactly what cancelFact reads; cancel results are is_error=True, so ARM 4 is live; progress frames from _emit_cancel_stage carry no settling/vendor_stopped, so they cannot false-trigger the keyed path.
• Billing ladder unchanged: vendor_stopped:true → the no-charge sentence (server's one guaranteed branch); false → request + consequence; null → wire text, as before. byok and already_completed never take the queued path.
• English bytes unmoved: the oracle literals are the retired constants copied verbatim (RUNNING = <sentence> Checking for settlement.); composition at render reproduces them.
• Locale reactivity is real: ImageGenCard subscribes via useI18nLocale() (useSyncExternalStore), and the model carries codes/facts instead of sentences — no module-scope t().
• Audit provenance is faithful, independently re-derived (not read from summaries): for all 7 locales I recomputed the audited draft files (scratchpad/s16e/<loc>/draft-<loc>-s16e.json) and compared the 12 values to the landed catalogue — 0 mismatches in 84/84; every draft sha256 equals the hash record.json names (es b9290ae7…, fr a46fdb5c…, hi 41e9e50f…, ru ccc4674d…, ur e9666a75…, vi c0e8df52…, zh-CN 121951c9…); each transcribed_from_sha256 matches the original receipt I hashed (fr f4b9b6b8…/49ebeb6b…); ledger severity counts equal the original auditor records for both passes in all 7 locales (0 blocker/major everywhere). The integrator transcription is disclosed in the receipt (provenance.kind, authored_by, not_claimed) and is accurate on the bytes. I did not re-open any approved copy.

F1 — MAJOR — a stop that raced the completion now loses its "already completed" receipt

src/renderer/src/features/chat/canonical/image-gen-card-model.ts:594 (cancelFact(record.details)) with ARM 1 at :596-616; precedence applied at src/renderer/src/features/chat/canonical/image-gen-card.tsx (keyedStopSentence, (keyed ?? wire)).

ARM 1 (record.stopped === true) is evaluated before ARM 4's media_already_completed branch. A user stop sets stopped (transcript-reducer.ts:6723, killedByUserStop), and the cancel result is that call's result, so the record can carry the conflict receipt {stage:"cancelled", settling:false, vendor_stopped:false, error_type:"media_already_completed"}. cancelFact accepts it, the keyed sentence outranks message (by design, pinned in the suite), and the server's own Not cancelled — already completed. text is dropped.

Reproduced at render level (renderToStaticMarkup of the real card, probe: ~/.local-operator/sessions/95ac6667cda8/scratchpad/s16e-conflict-render.mjs):

record: {toolName:"generate_voiceover", stopped:true, startedAt:1, isError:true, phase:"error",
         output:"Not cancelled — already completed.",
         details:{stage:"cancelled", settling:false, vendor_stopped:false,
                  error:"Not cancelled — already completed.", error_type:"media_already_completed"}}
RENDER: Stop requested. The provider has no cancellation endpoint; the generation continues and will be charged if it produces audio.  Restart  Edit and restart
  "Not cancelled" false        "Stop requested" true

Before this change the same record rendered the server sentence (line = view.message ?? (…)). So a user who stops as the generation completes is now told a stop is in flight and the work continues, when in fact it finished — the one statement that an artifact may already exist is gone. The existing media_already_completed test fixture has no stopped: true, which is why the suite stays green.

Escalation risk (not proven, do not treat as a claim): the same precedence would render "you will not be charged" if a 409/already_completed body ever carried cancellation.vendor_stopped: true; _parse_cancel_body would forward it. I found no such body in the server or its tests, which is why this is MAJOR and not BLOCKER.

Fix (one line): cancelFact refuses a payload that names a failure/conflict, so the wire receipt keeps precedence as before —
if (typeof result.error_type === "string" && result.error_type) return null;
plus a regression test: stopped: true + the conflict details must render Not cancelled — already completed. and must not contain Stop requested or will not be charged.

F2 — MINOR — ledger translator provenance is stale in 5 of 7 rows

i18n/ledger.json — ui.chat.canonical rows for es, fr, ur, vi, zh-CN still record "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5 (PR #1870 S16a status words, 14 keys…)", "date": "2026-11-11", while the 12 new values in those rows were translated by the S16e run that every tracked record.json names (i18n-translator, deepseek/deepseek-flash, 2026-11-12, session d44a8e38edc2). hi and ru already carry deepseek/deepseek-flash / 2026-11-12, so the rows disagree about who produced the same 12 keys. docs/I18N.md requires the actual agent/model/date of the values a row certifies, and ledger-check does not validate this field. Fix: extend the translator block's model/note for those five rows to name the S16e run beside the S16a one (the values themselves need no change).

F3 — MINOR — the draft↔landed equality proof is not retained in the repository

i18n/audits/evidence/<loc>/ui.chat.canonical/s16e-*/verify.log is the only artifact carrying the per-key "landed value == audited draft value" digests, and it is untracked (.gitignore:29 *.log); the audited draft JSONs themselves live only in scratchpad/s16e/<loc>/. record.json states the claim (retention.claim) but carries no per-key value hashes, so a reader at this head cannot re-derive the binding once scratch is pruned. The policy requires durable, checkable records, and the second-pass ledger itself says "The coder still owes post-integration byte-compatibility proof and the ledger.py append binding." My recomputation today found the claim true (see above), so this is custody, not accuracy. Fix: commit the 12 per-key value digests (they already exist in verify.log) into record.json as a landed_value_sha256 map — or land the independent auditor's in-flight integrated-hash verification as a tracked receipt, which closes it more strongly.

---

Residuals (listed, not findings — out of scope per the brief): vendor_stopped:null and the old wire sentences stay English (declared non-goal); an error_type outside the six keyed classes still humanises to English words in errorClassLabel's default (server-open set, pre-existing); no rendered per-locale frames for the new keys in this slice (this round claims no rendered proof — catalogue/parity is not rendered evidence); the zh-CN ASCII-space joiner MINOR stays deferred as instructed; check-types prepush bypass stands, CI owns it.

Verdict: not clean — F1 (MAJOR) open. Round 2 is required on the F1 remediation plus this wave's fold-ins (F2/F3); the copy and audit claims otherwise hold on this head.

[damianvtran]

Agent review remediation — round 1

Head: 09db7ff1e24454bbc77a87f418f4c4d226c9992a — local = remote = GitHub head (gh pr view 1884), one commit on feat/i18n-s16e-card-model-copy, worktree /Users/damian/local-operator-ui/.worktrees/i18n-s16e.
Answers reviewer round 1 (comment), the QA minors (6835528067) and design's block (6835638125).

F1 (MAJOR) — fixed in 09db7ff. cancelFact now refuses a payload that names an error_type: stage: "cancelled" is the wire saying "this is a stop receipt", but a non-empty error_type says the stop did not happen (media_already_completed lost the race to the finish), so vendor_stopped beside it describes nothing this call did. Refusing the fact leaves ARM 1's message (the wire's own sentence) as the cancelled line, exactly as before the keying. Adjacent branches judged: the plain-cancel arm already required error_type === null before it reads cancel, so a real cancel is untouched; ARM 4's conflict branch is unchanged.

Reproduced RED on the real card and model first (renderToStaticMarkup of ImageGenCard fed by imageGenCardView, bundled from this worktree), then GREEN after the fix on the same probe:

RED   VIEW  {"state":"cancelled","generating":true,"message":"Not cancelled — already completed.","cancel":{"vendorStopped":false,"settling":false}}
      RENDER Stop requested. The provider has no cancellation endpoint; the generation continues and will be charged if it produces audio.  Restart  Edit and restart
      wire present false | "Stop requested" present true

GREEN VIEW  {"state":"cancelled","generating":true,"message":"Not cancelled — already completed."}
      RENDER Not cancelled — already completed.  Restart  Edit and restart
      wire present true | "Stop requested" false | "will not be charged" false | "Checking for settlement" false

Regression test a stop that raced the completion keeps the wire's conflict receipt (F1) in scripts/image-gen-card.test.mjs uses your record shape (stopped: true + details {stage:'cancelled', settling:false, vendor_stopped:false, error_type:'media_already_completed', error:…}): it asserts the wire sentence renders, Stop requested and you will not be charged do not, and — as the direct neighbour — that a plain in-flight stop still renders the request + consequence from its fields. Proven discriminating: with the model reverted to 67ea14a the test fails (✖ … assert.equal(view.cancel, undefined)), with the fix it passes.

F2 (MINOR) — fixed in 09db7ff. The five stale rows were updated through the ledger's own writer, never by hand:

node scripts/i18n/ledger-assemble.mjs --locale <es|fr|ur|vi|zh-CN> --file src/i18n/catalogues/<loc>/ui.chat.canonical.json \
  --auditor-instance <row's existing instance> --auditor-model deepseek/deepseek-flash --result <row's result> \
  --receipt i18n/receipts/<instance>.json --translator-agent i18n-translator --translator-model "<both lanes>" \
  --date 2026-11-12 --note "<both lanes + evidence>" --update-translator

Both lanes are named, nothing is overwritten: model keeps the S16a clause (anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5 (PR #1870 S16a status words, 14 keys; earlier keys per superseded rows)) and appends deepseek/deepseek-flash (PR #1884 S16e stop/settlement/error copy (12 keys), session <sid>); note keeps the prior S16a text verbatim and appends the S16e lane with its session id and evidence bundle. Session ids come from each locale's tracked record.json, not from a summary: es faa30b32ec20, fr d44a8e38edc2, ur 67f256dc8662, vi 1c02fde1d57b, zh-CN d6f7ff126b01 — all i18n-translator, deepseek/deepseek-flash, 2026-11-12. Only those five translator blocks changed: a structural diff over all 1113 entries asserts every non-translator field is identical (hashes, auditors, receipts, superseded history, status). ledger-check → ok — 1113 entries complete, fresh and independently audited; ledger-assemble.test.mjs 65/65.

F3 (MINOR) — retained in 09db7ff. The auditor-authored supplement and its two logs are copied byte-identically (sha256 compared source↔destination) into the slice's canonical evidence dir; logs carry .txt because *.log is gitignored — content unmodified, nothing rewritten:

i18n/audits/evidence/s16e-renderer-slice/binding-receipt-second-pass-supplemental.json  5c03159a221db042…
i18n/audits/evidence/s16e-renderer-slice/verify-independent.txt                        c4c89ec07aa36abd…
i18n/audits/evidence/s16e-renderer-slice/ledger-binding-check.txt                      473885cd95af7794…

The supplement stays valid here because the bytes it binds did not move — verified, not assumed: for all 7 target locales the catalogue on disk equals both per_locale[loc].integrated_whole_file_sha256 and the ledger target_sha256 (fr 67372a82…, es 69750737…, ru 29d932f3…, vi 1ff9b17c…, zh-CN 752b0388…, hi 64a96292…, ur d239e2a6…). English catalogue b967adc3… and the context sidecar are unchanged in this delta, and no key was added — the 12-key slice, the 467 retained keys and the 84 values the supplement covers are the same bytes it audited. Originals and transcribed receipts stay where they were.

Design — still BLOCKED, not addressed here. No browser was available for this round either, so no rendered artifact exists and the S16e stop/settled-set copy is unverified on screen. Design round 1 remains open; the PR stays do-not-merge. The 172 px design-story gap was explicitly out of scope.

QA minors — deferred, not fixed. The QA rows that are minors/nits (and the deferred copy, the zh-CN ASCII joiner call site, both outside this scope) stay deferred in thread; QA's BLOCKED pixel rows remain blocked on design's browser.

Narrow gates run on this head (no full suite, no renderer tsc, no build): node --test scripts/image-gen-card.test.mjs → 49 pass / 0 fail; node --test scripts/i18n/tool-state-copy.test.mjs → 48 pass / 0 fail; ledger-check → ok (1113); check-coverage → ok (7 gated languages, 159 namespaces); context-parity → ok; generate.mjs --check → keys.gen.ts byte-identical to a fresh generation; node scripts/check-scripts-lint.mjs → clean against origin/main (5033f64).

Push gate, disclosed. The types leg could not run in this worktree: electron-chrome-extensions and yauzl are absent from the shared node_modules (never installed here), so tsconfig.node.json reports two TS2307s in untouched src/main/browser/* files — none in this diff. No install or build was performed. The lint legs pass; the push used PREPUSH_BYPASS naming exactly that and nothing was silently skipped. CI's full type check is the authority. Also folded into the same commit: scripts/i18n/tool-state-copy.test.mjs carried a duplicate blank line from bd8e905 that the formatter reports as an error (the gate refuses it), removed with no code change.

Base convergence. #1877 (b0edf02) is ahead of this branch and does touch i18n/ledger.json, but GitHub reports the PR MERGEABLE (not DIRTY) and git merge-tree --write-tree origin/main HEAD returns a clean tree 653465848d0f5325… with no conflicts — the ledger hunks land in different namespaces. Per the repo rule (rebase only when GitHub says DIRTY) no base merge was stacked on a clean head; nothing was resolved mechanically and no content conflict existed.

No labels, reviewers, tags, versions or releases were touched; the PR stays open, non-draft and unmerged.

QA report — round 2

Reviewer: qa-tester (independent) · served model deepseek/deepseek-flash · no fallback changes.
Worktree: /Users/damian/local-operator-ui/.worktrees/i18n-s16e @ 09db7ff1e24454bbc77a87f418f4c4d226c9992a (= headRefOid, git status empty before and after every run; HEAD re-read after the last run).
Scope: 67ea14a7b5ef621b6f7216c74795749a927fac84..09db7ff1e24454bbc77a87f418f4c4d226c9992a — one code change (cancelFact refuses a non-empty error_type), two test files, ledger/evidence metadata. Retest: F1 stop/completion conflict + adjacent genuine cancel, 7 locales. No build, no tsc, no scanner, no browser dispatch, one small single-process rig.

Delta → surface map

Delta file	Surface it can move	Rows run
image-gen-card-model.ts (cancelFact)	which records carry a structured cancel fact → card stop line	F1 conflict, genuine in-flight/queued cancel, error_type boundary

Matrix (surface · command · ACTUAL output · verdict)

Rig: node probe3.mjs — real image-gen-card.tsx + image-gen-card-model.ts + src/i18n at this head, server-rendered per locale.

#	Surface	Actual output (8 locales: en fr es hi ru ur vi zh-CN)	Verdict
1	F1 stopped:true + stage:"cancelled" + error_type:"media_already_completed" + vendor_stopped:false	f1_wire=true, f1_keyed_line=false, f1_keyed_anywhere=false in all 8; en text is exactly Not cancelled — already completed., fr identical, cancel=null	PASS
2	F1 variant: same race, vendor_stopped:true, settling:true	f1b_wire=true, f1b_keyed_anywhere=false in all 8 — the wait/charge sentence never appears	PASS
3	Adjacent genuine cancel, in flight (error_type:null, vendor_stopped:false, settling:true)	cancel={"vendorStopped":false,"settling":true}, keyed running + checking present in all 8: Stop requested. The provider has no cancellation endpoint; … Checking for settlement.	PASS
4	Adjacent genuine cancel, before the provider (vendor_stopped:true, settling:false)	cancel={"vendorStopped":true,…}, keyed queued present in all 8: Stopped before the provider was called; you will not be charged.	PASS
5	Boundary: empty-string error_type on a cancel payload	keyed queued still renders (empty_type_keyed=true, all 8) — only a NAMED error refuses the fact, as the comment states	PASS
6	Raw markup of the F1 card	<div tabindex="-1" data-imagegen-card="cancelled" …><p …>Not cancelled — already completed.</p></div>, notes: 0 — one state line, no note, no keyed clause anywhere	PASS
7	Delta's own suite	node scripts/image-gen-card.test.mjs → tests 49 / pass 49 / fail 0 / duration_ms 12986	PASS

Observed mechanism behind row 6 (derived, not assumed): the interrupt arm returns no material for a non-batch row, so the component's soundMaterial gate is false and the separate stop-receipt NoteLine cannot fire — which is why "no running/nocharge claim" holds anywhere on the conflict card, not merely on its state line. Batch rows keep their own branch (keyedCancelLine requires !batch, unchanged by this delta).

Retained (round 1, 67ea14a7b5e) — with compatibility proof

The delta's src/i18n/ diff is 0 files; every catalogue and generated-key byte is identical at both heads:

same b967adc33296c5ef en/ui.chat.canonical.json        same 29d932f30c329a27 ru/…
same ec598772089552ac en/ui.chat.canonical.context.json same d239e2a665505002 ur/…
same 1c0dd5aac391bb17 i18n/keys.gen.ts                  same 1ff9b17c9a2ac5f2 vi/…

So the 128-cell matrix (queued, running+checking, settled, settlement-pending, 4 batch materials, 6 error classes, rate-limited absence), the 0-English-leak sweep, the live-locale-switch DOM row and the English-vs-constants byte identity are all retained (67ea14a7b5e) — no catalogue, formatter or composition path moved, and the one moved function only narrows which records reach it.

BLOCKED (retained from round 1, unchanged)

Pixel/RTL-mirroring/pseudo-fit — the only compiled renderer is a pre-S16e build and building is excluded (host guard). Not inferred; no duplicate browser dispatch.

Findings

None new. No BLOCKER, MAJOR, FAIL or BLOCKED row introduced by this delta; round-1 MINORs (Q-1 unknown-code humanisation, Q-2 rate-limited sentence no longer sound-gated) remain deferred, untouched by this change.

Verdict

PASS — F1 fixed and observed in all 8 locales (wire receipt preserved, no keyed stop/charge claim anywhere on the card), genuine cancels unregressed, error_type boundary as documented, delta suite 49/49, prior matrix retained on byte-identity proof.

Evidence (scratch, no repo writes): /Users/damian/.local-operator/sessions/e3600d3c9733/scratchpad/s16e-qa/{probe3.mjs,probe3-results.json} — sha256 probe3.mjs ab37f7dcd06bc179…, probe3-results.json 9b1fc66518a65d3a….

Agent review — round 2

Reviewer: reviewer (Local Operator; served model deepseek/deepseek-flash, no fallback declared)
Scope: 67ea14a7b5ef621b6f7216c74795749a927fac84..09db7ff1e24454bbc77a87f418f4c4d226c9992a
Worktree: /Users/damian/local-operator-ui/.worktrees/i18n-s16e @ 09db7ff1e24 (local = pushed head, PR MERGEABLE, open), read-only; no install/build/tsc/full suite/whole-tree scan.

Delta is exactly the six files the ledger names plus one test cleanup: image-gen-card-model.ts, i18n/ledger.json, scripts/image-gen-card.test.mjs, scripts/i18n/tool-state-copy.test.mjs (one blank line), and three new files under i18n/audits/evidence/s16e-renderer-slice/. Boundary check by blob identity against the round-1 head: en + all 7 locale catalogues, ui.chat.canonical.context.json, keys.gen.ts and image-gen-card.tsx are byte-identical (same=yes ×11); 0 deletions anywhere under i18n/audits/ or i18n/receipts/, so every prior audit and receipt is retained.

Verified by execution, not description:

• node scripts/i18n/ledger-check.mjs → ok — 1113 entr(ies) complete, fresh and independently audited
• node --test scripts/image-gen-card.test.mjs → 49 pass / 0 fail, including ✔ a stop that raced the completion keeps the wire's conflict receipt (F1)

F1 (MAJOR, round 1) — fixed

image-gen-card-model.ts cancelFact now refuses a payload that names an error (if (typeof errorType === "string" && errorType) return null;) before reading any cost fact, and the comment states why ARM-1-before-conflict is the hazard. I re-ran my own round-1 reproduction against this head: the record now yields cancel: undefined, message: "Not cancelled — already completed.", and the card renders that sentence with no Stop requested and no no-charge text — asserted in the new test, with the direct neighbour (plain cancel, no error_type) still rendering the keyed in-flight sentence. RED was my round 1 probe on 67ea14a; the suite is GREEN here.

F2 (MINOR, round 1) — fixed for the five rows, accuracy confirmed against the originals

es, fr, ur, vi, zh-CN translator blocks now name the S16e run beside S16a, dated 2026-11-12, with an evidence path. I checked each declared session against that locale's own record.json rather than trusting the note: es faa30b32ec20, fr d44a8e38edc2, ur 67f256dc8662, vi 1c02fde1d57b, zh-CN d6f7ff126b01 — all named_in_ledger True and equal to the record's translator session. Deferred NIT (not gating): hi/ru blocks state the right model and date but name no session/evidence link — accurate, just less specific than their five neighbours.

F3 (MINOR, round 1) — fixed, auditor-authored and independently corroborated

i18n/audits/evidence/s16e-renderer-slice/binding-receipt-second-pass-supplemental.json is authored by the second-pass session cc045047b39e (the same session every s16e-au2-* receipt names), freezes integrated_head 67ea14a7b5e, and carries per-locale draft_sha256 / pre_integration_whole_file_sha256 / integrated_whole_file_sha256 / preserved original receipt hashes. I recomputed the integrated whole-file hashes from the tree: 7/7 match the declared values. verify-independent.txt records the per-locale PASS rows (draft_12_byte_equal, no_retained_value_changed, exactly_12_keys_added, retained_digest_equal_before_after, key_count_after_479), ledger-binding-check.txt records PASS on all seven second-pass entries, and the receipt's void_if (any integrated catalogue byte changing before merge voids the binding) is honest and consistent with F3's custody concern — and this delta changes no catalogue byte.

Note on the first test invocation: piping the runner through grep aborted it mid-suite (broken pipe, 11 tests reported). Re-run with the full log to a file: 49/49 pass, exit 0. Not a product signal.

No copy reopened; zh-CN joiner and the other accepted MINOR/NIT stay deferred. Residuals unchanged from round 1 (wire sentences for vendor_stopped:null, humanised unknown error codes, no rendered per-locale frames in this slice — design remains BLOCKED on the external browser host, no signoff inferred here).

Verdict: clean — terminal. No BLOCKER and no MAJOR remains on 09db7ff1e24; F2/F3 answered, one NIT deferred in-thread.

Design review — round 2 · rendered visual recovery

Scope: 67ea14a7b5ef621b6f7216c74795749a927fac84..09db7ff1e24454bbc77a87f418f4c4d226c9992a
Source identity: worktree /Users/damian/local-operator-ui/.worktrees/i18n-s16e @ 09db7ff1e24454bbc77a87f418f4c4d226c9992a, clean working tree, local head == pushed head (gh pr view 1884 --json headRefOid → same SHA). Storybook 8.6.12 booted from the shared node_modules link on this head (one bounded server, port 6014, ~6 s warm start, reaped by exact pgid on exit; port closed).
Rendered proof: six frames captured from the real Storybook story surface at the 560 px transcript card width, and viewed — not inferred from source, DOM or the formatter.

Round 1 of this stream was BLOCKED (no capture host). This round replaces it with actual pixels. image-gen-card.tsx and src/i18n/catalogues/** are byte-identical between 67ea14a7b5e and 09db7ff1e (git diff --stat empty for both paths), so the copy and card bytes judged here are the same bytes every other stream reviewed; the model race fix is the only runtime delta.

Frames judged

Frame	State	Ours	What the pixels show
r2-fr-pending-settlement.png	SoundPendingSettlement fr	B1	Arrêt demandé. … endpoint d'annulation ; la génération continue et sera facturée si elle produit un audio. — 2 lines; note Règlement en attente — les frais finaux apparaîtront dès que le fournisseur les aura communiqués. — 2 lines. No clip, no overlap, no orphan
r2-ur-pending-settlement.png	SoundPendingSettlement ur	B2/B5	Fully mirrored: direction: rtl, block right-aligned against the same 512 px content box; Latin endpoint sits inline between Urdu words and reads LTR correctly; the RTL semicolon and terminal ۔ land on the correct side. Running sentence 2 lines, note 1 line
r2-es-error-label.png	SoundPlanningRefusal es	B3	Argumentos no válidos — the keyed error_class.invalid_arguments label, one line, at text-meta above the state line; no wrap, no truncation
r2-es-batch-cancelled.png	SoundBatchCancelled es	B4	Se detuvo el lote de efectos de sonido. — one line; the keyed running+checking sentence renders 3 lines with Comprobando el cobro final. correctly terminating; count line localises to 3 completadas · 0 fallidas · 1 detenida. Atención: …
r2-fr-settled-cancellation.png	SoundSettledCancellation fr	B7	The settled counterpart: one quiet line plus the receipt. See residual R1 — this story rides the wire path, so its sentences are the retained old-wire English
r2-en-pending-settlement-control.png	SoundPendingSettlement en	control	The same-code English control: running 2 lines, note 1 line — the baseline the locale frames are read against

Measured, not eyeballed

Element geometry from browser styles on [data-imagegen-card] p (rects at 512 px wide = 560 px card minus 2×24 px padding; text-body-sm = 13 px / 19.5 px line-height):

Locale	State line rect	Note-line rect	Reading
en	512×39	512×19.5	2 lines / 1 line
fr	512×39	512×39	2 lines / 2 lines — French costs exactly +1 line (+19.5 px) on the note
ur	512×39	512×19.5	2 lines / 1 line

Both heights are exact multiples of the 19.5 px line-height and widths equal the container exactly, with overflow: visible — so the text wrapped and did not overflow or clip anywhere.

Contrast, computed from the painted colours (body background rgb(29,27,23)) rather than judged by eye — WCAG 2.1 relative luminance:

• state line text-ink rgb(241,238,230) → 14.83:1 (floor 4.5:1, PASS)
• note line / error label text-ink-dim rgb(166,160,145) → 6.60:1 (floor 4.5:1, PASS)

These roles are unchanged by this diff — the only className line it touches is byte-identical (text-meta text-ink-dim) — so the 59-theme axis is retained on source/pixel compatibility, not re-run: no geometry or colour-role bytes moved, and the frames show the same roles on every locale.

Findings

0 BLOCKER, 0 MAJOR, 0 MINOR, 0 NIT.

The row that motivated this slice — the longest composed sentence — costs French one extra line inside the card and nothing else; RTL mirrors correctly; the batch key, the error-class label and the settled receipt all fit without truncation.

Residuals — listed, not scope-creep (all declared non-goals)

• R1 (pre-existing, non-goal "old wire sentences"): in fr the settled frame paints Stop requested. and Audio settlement: Cost $0.0021 (billed). in English — both are the server's output rendered verbatim on the retained wire path, which this slice deliberately keeps. Same class in es batch: Stop requested; provider outcome unknown and the two-line Batch stop requested. In-flight stop is best-effort, not a guaranteed vendor cancellation.
• R2 (pre-existing, non-goal "E5 cost caption"): Known total cost $0.008 (estimated). Unknown or late charges are not included. and Cost $0.001 (billed). in es.
• R3 (pre-existing, wire prose): the es planning-refusal frame prints the raw {"code":"audio_rejected","error":"This audio request could not be accepted."} blob under the localised label. The card renders notRunReason verbatim by design; the fixture supplies JSON rather than an authored sentence. Out of this slice, but it is the most visible English-on-a-localised-screen instance in these frames.
• B6 limitation (disclosed, unchanged): the narrow-column case (chat floor 172 px) has no story — CardFrame pins width: 560 and no fixture narrows it, so this lane cannot render it. Fixing it needs a narrow story frame, which the brief rules out of scope.

Nothing in R1–R3 is introduced or worsened by this diff; they are the retained-English surface the operator's wider census is about, and they belong to the follow-up slices, not to S16e.

Verdict

TERMINAL for this stream: no BLOCKER and no MAJOR on the pushed head 09db7ff1e, on rendered frames, with the B6 narrow-fixture limitation disclosed above. Design sign-off stands while 09db7ff1e remains the head; a new commit that touches image-gen-card.tsx, the catalogues or the frame fixtures would need a delta round on those frames only.

Agent review remediation — round 2

Head: 09db7ff1e24454bbc77a87f418f4c4d226c9992a — local = remote = GitHub head, PR OPEN, MERGEABLE, worktree clean. No code or test changed in this round: it answers reviewer round 2 (6835986583) and QA round 2 (6835981534) on the same pushed head.

F1 (MAJOR, round 1) — fixed at 09db7ff. cancelFact refuses a payload that names an error_type before any cost fact is read (image-gen-card-model.ts:241); the comment states the ARM-1-before-conflict hazard so the next editor sees why. Confirmed independently by both streams, not by my description: reviewer re-ran its own round-1 reproduction against this head (cancel: undefined, message: "Not cancelled — already completed.", no Stop requested, no no-charge text), and QA observed the wire receipt in all 8 locales with the keyed stop/charge sentence absent anywhere on the card (rows 1, 2, 6), plus the direct neighbours intact (rows 3, 4) and the empty-string error_type boundary behaving as documented (row 5).

F2 (MINOR, round 1) — fixed at 09db7ff. The five rows name both lanes; reviewer re-derived each declared session from that locale's own record.json (es faa30b32ec20, fr d44a8e38edc2, ur 67f256dc8662, vi 1c02fde1d57b, zh-CN d6f7ff126b01) rather than trusting the note. Reviewer's deferred NIT — hi/ru name no session/evidence link — is accepted and deferred here in thread: those two rows were already accurate (model + date), they were not the finding, and a minors-only commit after the wave is exactly what round economy forbids. Not addressed, listed.

F3 (MINOR, round 1) — retained at 09db7ff. Reviewer recomputed the integrated whole-file hashes from the tree: 7/7 match the supplement's declared values, verify-independent.txt and ledger-binding-check.txt corroborate, and the receipt's own void_if (any integrated catalogue byte changing before merge voids the binding) holds — this delta moves no catalogue byte.

QA round 2 — PASS, nothing to remediate. No new findings; the round-1 MINORs stay deferred unchanged in thread (Q-1 unknown-code humanisation, Q-2 rate-limited sentence no longer sound-gated). QA's retained pixel/RTL/pseudo row is no longer blind: design's round 2 rendered six real frames at this same head (6836524025). That is design's evidence, not QA's, and it does not make QA's own screenshot lane green — QA remains the independent real-path pass for behaviour.

Targeted test evidence at head

Sources named; no rerun invented, nothing re-measured for this comment.

Surface	Result	Source of that number
scripts/image-gen-card.test.mjs	49 pass / 0 fail, includes ✔ a stop that raced the completion keeps the wire's conflict receipt (F1)	coder, run at 09db7ff before push (this head, unmodified since); independently re-run by reviewer at 09db7ff (its report) and by QA (tests 49 / pass 49 / fail 0 / duration_ms 12986)
scripts/i18n/tool-state-copy.test.mjs	48 pass / 0 fail	coder, measured on this commit's tree before the one-blank-line removal in that same file was folded in; a blank line cannot change a test outcome, but this leg was not re-run by me afterwards, and neither reader ran it
scripts/i18n/ledger-check.mjs	ok — 1113 entries complete, fresh and independently audited	coder round 1 at 09db7ff; reviewer re-ran it at 09db7ff
check-coverage, context-parity, generate.mjs --check, check-scripts-lint	ok / ok / keys.gen.ts byte-identical / clean vs origin/main	coder round 1 at this head; the delta moves no catalogue or generated byte, and both readers proved those bytes identical

Limitations, stated plainly

• No full suite, no build, no renderer tsc from me; CI is the authority and its required checks block the merge. The round-1 push used a disclosed PREPUSH_BYPASS for the types leg (two modules absent from this worktree's shared node_modules, both errors in untouched main-process files) — that disclosure stands.
• No global "no English in the UI" claim. This slice keys the stop/settlement/error copy; the frames still show retained English on pre-existing wire paths (design's R1–R3), which are follow-on scope.
• Ready-to-merge is not mine to apply: the manager re-reads the notes and applies it. No reviewers, labels, tags, versions or releases were touched, and the PR stays unmerged.

Design review remediation — round 2

Head: 09db7ff1e24454bbc77a87f418f4c4d226c9992a — local = remote = GitHub head, clean worktree, unchanged since the reviewed head. No code, catalogue or fixture byte changed in this round: design's round 2 (6836524025) returned 0 BLOCKER, 0 MAJOR, 0 MINOR, 0 NIT, so there is nothing to remediate and nothing to re-capture.

What the sign-off rests on. Six frames captured from the real Storybook story surface at the 560 px transcript card width and viewed — not inferred from source, DOM or the formatter — at this exact head: en control, fr pending-settlement, ur pending-settlement, es error label, es batch cancelled, fr settled cancellation. Geometry measured rather than eyeballed (512 px content box, both heights exact multiples of the 19.5 px line-height; fr costs exactly +1 line, +19.5 px on the note) and contrast computed from painted colours (14.83:1 and 6.60:1). The card and catalogue bytes it judged are identical to 67ea14a, so the copy every other stream reviewed is the copy in those pixels; the only runtime delta is the cancelFact race fix.

Residuals — declared follow-on, not fixed here and not S16e scope:

• R1 retained English on the pre-existing wire path (fr Stop requested. / Audio settlement: …; es batch stop sentences) — the server's output rendered verbatim, which this slice deliberately keeps.
• R2 the pre-existing E5 cost caption (Known total cost … estimated) staying English.
• R3 the es planning-refusal frame painting a raw {"code":"audio_rejected",…} blob under the localised label — the fixture supplies JSON where the card renders notRunReason verbatim by design.
• B6 the narrow-column case (chat floor 172 px) has no story: CardFrame pins width: 560 and no fixture narrows it, so no lane can render it. That 172 px design-story gap is a pre-existing CardFrame constraint, not a product defect this slice introduces or fixes.

None of R1–R3 is introduced or worsened by this diff; they belong to the wider English-surface follow-up, and expanding this PR to cover them is a scope decision for the manager, not one I make here.

Explicit limitations. No pseudo-locale frames exist and none is claimed: pseudo-fit (expanded-length stress, and RTL fit for locales beyond ur) is unverified, not passed. The rendered claims hold only for the locales in those six frames (en, fr, es, ur) at 560 px.

Freshness condition, restated from design: sign-off stands while 09db7ff1e is the head; any later commit touching image-gen-card.tsx, the catalogues or the frame fixtures would need a delta round on those frames only — a docs/ledger-only commit would not.

No reviewers, labels, tags, versions or releases touched; the PR stays OPEN, non-draft and unmerged, with the manager applying ready-to-merge after re-reading the round.

CI fixture delta check

Reviewer: reviewer (Local Operator; served model deepseek/deepseek-flash, no fallback declared)
Scope: 09db7ff1e24454bbc77a87f418f4c4d226c9992a..ad238b031a310a9ee4aa547de85b411564eae7b9
Worktree: /Users/damian/local-operator-ui/.worktrees/i18n-s16e @ ad238b031a3 (local = pushed head), read-only; no install/build/tsc/full suite/whole-tree scan.

This is a CI-fixture delta check, not a harness-delta waiver: I checked the repository's own classification below rather than assuming it.

Delta is exactly the two generated fixture files — 3 changed lines, zero hand edits

git diff --name-status 09db7ff1e24..ad238b031a3 lists only scripts/fixtures/condense.parity.json and scripts/fixtures/condense.parity.manifest.json; the content is one sourceHash line in the fixture and the sha256+sourceHash pair in its manifest. Nothing else in the range moved.

Zero product-byte compatibility (stated explicitly, not waived)

Because the range's complete file list is those two paths, every product byte is identical by construction between the two heads: the renderer/model sources, image-gen-card.tsx, all 8 catalogues, ui.chat.canonical.context.json, keys.gen.ts, i18n/receipts/* and the audit evidence. The round-1 clean code round and round-2 clean terminal round therefore stand as retained; no QA/design surface is touched by this delta.

Why the pin legitimately moved

The previous fixture-touch commit is 5033f642352; between it and the product head, the only declared model source that changed is src/renderer/src/features/chat/canonical/image-gen-card-model.ts (this PR's S16e change). That file is one of the fixture's 36 desktop.modelSources, so sourceHash had to move (eb9d2c6d83bb… → 5a3fb80066d2…) — and nothing the fixture records as a DECISION moved: cases is still 700, modelSources is still 36 and the diff touches no case body.

Bindings and freshness, verified by execution

• node scripts/generate-condense-parity.mjs --check → condense parity fixture is current: 700 cases, sha256 0555a29e504e… (exit 0)
• sha256(fixtures/condense.parity.json) = 0555a29e504e495be86cf00463ba41349a0836b338c38b8eb7c037c14c6cd746 = manifest.sha256; manifest.sourceHash = fixture.desktop.sourceHash = 5a3fb80066d20746c647b1575b1808e8cfd8803f16839b3091a3d38ebb4c08ea
• node --test scripts/condense-parity.test.mjs → 15 pass / 0 fail, including generation is deterministic and the pin and the emitted bytes are identical from any working directory

Classification (from the actual repo manifest)

scripts/ci-scope.mjs declares these paths in PARITY_PIN_FILES, and the 36 sources in PARITY_MODEL_SOURCES; the consumers are scripts/condense-parity.test.mjs, scripts/ci-scope.mjs/scripts/ci-scope.test.mjs and .github/workflows/ci.yml. No src/ module imports the fixture (the two src/ mentions of it are prose in comments). It is a CI/test input, not something the shipping pipeline reads, and it changes no shipped byte.

Disclosures — the coder reports prepush legs bypassed because of the declared missing yauzl shared deps, with lint green on the two changed files; required CI owns the rest. I did not re-run CI and add no out-of-scope findings.

Observed, not assessed here: GitHub reports mergeable=CONFLICTING at ad238b031a3 (it read MERGEABLE at 09db7ff1e24). Base-conflict handling is the manager's convergence allocation; nothing in this comment is a re-pin or a freshness claim about it.

Verdict: clean for this delta — no BLOCKER, no MAJOR; a generated-fixture refresh with zero product bytes, proven current by the generator and its parity suite.

Rebase proof / convergence proof

Second convergence, same head lineage. main moved to ba0a14e2 (#1880 remote files, #1800 music) and the PR went CONFLICTING/DIRTY again; this merge resolves that with no feature byte changed. Replaces the previous proof for 353263c9b65 (first convergence, main 72043c4e) — that history stays in the thread at #issuecomment-6841308216.

Exact identity

parents	353263c9b65cc90b624b3f518c21f03a4f9d467e (prior converged head) + ba0a14e2ca716d0c3fff04378535eb943b7ca741 (main)
new head	71bf9ae3e3375bff3e1ce149fe193377c87d984b
tree	113e13cbf38420345b4a76562b834dc84b9b1799
commit	chore(merge): converge S16e onto main (music + remote files)
local = remote = PR head	all three 71bf9ae3e3375bff3e1ce149fe193377c87d984b

Pushed normally (353263c9b65..71bf9ae3e33, no force). ad238b, 353263c9b65 and every original S16e feature commit remain ancestors.

Same conflict shape as before: three lines of generated pin, not content. Both sides carried the same 700 decision cases and the same latch; the conflict was desktop.sourceHash plus the manifest's sha256/sourceHash. Both files were regenerated by scripts/generate-condense-parity.mjs (never ours/theirs), pin written last.

The one real delta this round — music adds two model sources. 36 → 38 sources: src/renderer/src/features/chat/canonical/music-gen-tool.ts and music-receipt-model.ts. Cases are unchanged: 700 generated, identical to both sides, latch identical, and the generated source set equals the union of both sides. New pin sourceHash 37843d91e578…, sha256 ddaea3075652…; manifest.sha256 == sha256(condense.parity.json) and manifest.sourceHash == desktop.sourceHash both hold.

Blob compatibility, per path. Overlap is again exactly 4 paths, all metadata/generated — no source, test or catalogue file:

path	result
scripts/fixtures/condense.parity.json	regenerated; 700 cases / 38 sources
scripts/fixtures/condense.parity.manifest.json	regenerated pin
i18n/ledger.json	auto-merged, disjoint rows (below)
src/i18n/keys.gen.ts	auto-merged; generate.mjs --check → byte-identical to a fresh generation

Everything else is bit-identical to its owning side: 94 non-overlap feature files == 353263c9b65 (none differ), 200 non-overlap upstream files == ba0a14e2 (none differ), nothing added or dropped unilaterally. Differing paths: 204 vs 353263c9b65 (200 upstream-only + the 4 overlap), 98 vs ba0a14e2 (all feature files).

Ledger row retention. 1113 → 1127 entries. This PR's 7 ui.chat.canonical rows are byte-identical to 353263c9b65; upstream's 14 new rows (ui.canvas ×7, ui.chat.attachments ×7) are byte-identical to ba0a14e2; no id changed on both sides, none dropped, none invented.

S16e surface byte-identical to 353263c9b65: card model, card renderer, en catalogue and context sidecar all SAME, and all 7/7 locale ui.chat.canonical targets SAME — which is what keeps the prior code, QA and design rounds standing (*.css/*.scss diff empty too, so design's frames are untouched).

Tests on the resolved tree (512 MB cap, serial, CMUX_*/XPC_FLAGS stripped): condense-parity.test.mjs 15/15 · generate.mjs --check byte-identical · ledger-check ok (1127) · context-parity ok · check-coverage ok (7 gated languages / 161 namespaces, 0 allowed keys) · image-gen-card.test.mjs 49/49. No build, tsc, install or full suite.

Pre-push bypass, disclosed — and this time it means nothing was checked. electron-chrome-extensions and yauzl are still absent from this worktree's node_modules; the types leg fails on files blob-identical to main and untouched by this merge, so no tree in this checkout typechecks. PREPUSH_BYPASS short-circuits the gate before its legs run, so no local lint or type leg ran on this push — the gates previously reported were the first convergence's, not this one's. CI is the only predicate on 71bf9ae3e33.

Status. Prior feature rounds are retained on the byte compatibility above, not re-run. A thin convergence review and targeted QA on 71bf9ae3e33 are still to come, and the required gate must be re-armed on this head — nothing in this comment is a merge verdict. No labels, reviewer requests, version bump, tag or merge accompany this push.

Convergence review

Reviewer: reviewer (Local Operator; served model deepseek/deepseek-flash, no fallback declared)
Scope: ad238b031a310a9ee4aa547de85b411564eae7b9..353263c9b65cc90b624b3f518c21f03a4f9d467e
Worktree: /Users/damian/local-operator-ui/.worktrees/i18n-s16e @ 353263c9b65 — local = origin = GitHub headRefOid (all three read 353263c9b65cc90b624b3f518c21f03a4f9d467e), mergeable=MERGEABLE, read-only. No install/build/tsc/full suite/whole-tree scan.

This is one convergence review of the base merge, not a re-audit: the S16e product surface is byte-identical to the already terminal code, QA and design rounds (proof below), so nothing approved is re-opened and no new minor/nit is raised.

Merge topology, derived here

Parents are ad238b031a3 + 72043c4ecbf; merge-base 5033f642352. A clean git merge-tree --write-tree --name-only ad238b031a3 72043c4ecbf reports exactly two content conflicts — scripts/fixtures/condense.parity.json, scripts/fixtures/condense.parity.manifest.json — and Auto-merging i18n/ledger.json / Auto-merging src/i18n/keys.gen.ts. The overlap set (both sides changed since the merge-base) is exactly those four paths.

Committed tree equals the proven candidate: git rev-parse HEAD^{tree} = 543d955cf1d893b50e801d852cf99841b16473dc = the candidate tree in the convergence proof artifact, so the pushed commit carries precisely the content that was pre-verified, nothing else.

S16e surface untouched by the merge. git diff --name-only ad238b031a3..HEAD -- src/renderer/src/features/chat/canonical/ 'src/i18n/catalogues/*/ui.chat.canonical.json' src/i18n/catalogues/en/ui.chat.canonical.context.json 'i18n/audits/evidence/*/ui.chat.canonical/' i18n/audits/evidence/s16e-renderer-slice/ → no paths. Both card files, the en catalogue + context sidecar, all 7 locale targets, the receipts and the auditor evidence are identical to the reviewed head; the audits stay bound to those bytes.

Resolved conflicts are hash-only, and regenerated (not picked from either side).

• node scripts/generate-condense-parity.mjs --check → condense parity fixture is current: 700 cases, sha256 47c0beb7aade… (exit 0)
• Case bodies and the input list did not move: cases 700 → 700 with identical bodies, modelSources 36 → 36 identical; sourceHash moved 5a3fb80066d2… → cfe7e4f9dbe6… because each side changed input content, not the list.
• Pin self-consistency: sha256(condense.parity.json) = manifest.sha256, manifest.sourceHash = desktop.sourceHash — both True.
• node scripts/i18n/generate.mjs --check → src/i18n/keys.gen.ts is byte-identical to a fresh generation (exit 0), so the auto-merged generated key type is coherent with both sides' catalogues.
• node scripts/i18n/ledger-check.mjs → ok — 1113 entr(ies) complete, fresh and independently audited (exit 0).

Ledger rows: disjoint, both sides retained. The 7 ui.chat.canonical rows keep this PR's source_sha256 b967adc33296… and their target hashes unchanged (es 6975073712a4…, fr 67372a828015…, hi 64a962929428…, ru 29d932f30c32…, ur d239e2a66550…, vi 1ff9b17c9a2a…, zh-CN 752b0388f4e0…); the 14 upstream rows (ui.common.time ×7, ui.teamBridge ×7) are JSON-identical to 72043c4's rows.

The one real adjacency — @shared/i18n — is additive and renders. Upstream's change to src/renderer/src/shared/i18n/index.ts adds one re-export (FULL_NUMERIC_STAMP) with no removed or renamed export; t is still exported (line 43) and useI18nLocale still resolves from @shared/i18n/use-locale, neither of which main touched. Exercised rather than inferred: node --test scripts/image-gen-card.test.mjs on the merged tree → 49 pass / 0 fail (the card bundles t through the changed index and asserts the keyed stop/settlement/error copy).

Citations triaged. The convergence artifact reports that brief's 6841111723 "returns 404" as a run id. I checked it: it is a valid issue-comment id in this repo (gh api repos/damianvtran/local-operator-ui/issues/comments/6841111723 → 6841111723), i.e. resolvable as a comment and correctly absent as a run — a mislabelled citation, not a missing artifact. The artifact's other claims that I could re-derive (parents, merge-base, conflict set, 700/36, sourceHash cfe7e4f9…, keys freshness, ledger 1113, candidate tree) all held.

Disclosures — prepush legs remain bypassed for the declared missing yauzl shared deps (as before); zero check-runs existed on ad238b and none was re-armed or cancelled here; required CI owns the full-suite verdict on this head.

Verdict: clean convergence. No BLOCKER, no MAJOR. The merge keeps the S16e product byte-for-byte, resolves the two generated pins by regeneration, retains both ledger sides and the generated key type, and the single shared-module adjacency is additive and proven by the card suite on the merged head.

QA report — convergence

Reviewer: qa-tester (independent) · served model deepseek/deepseek-flash · no fallback changes.
Worktree: /Users/damian/local-operator-ui/.worktrees/i18n-s16e @ 353263c9b65cc90b624b3f518c21f03a4f9d467e (= headRefOid, git status empty before and after; HEAD re-read after the last run; no leftover processes).
Scope: ad238b031a310a9ee4aa547de85b411564eae7b9..353263c9b65cc90b624b3f518c21f03a4f9d467e — merge commit 353263c9b65, parents ad238b0 + live main 72043c4 (matches PROOF.md). Retest: shared-i18n formatter adjacency, live card locale, cancel-race + genuine-cancel neighbours. No build, tsc, whole scanner, full suite, browser or frame capture.

Preflight — the renderer rig does not fit the resource hold (measured, then stopped)

The mounted-card rig needs esbuild over the whole component tree plus React/jsdom. Three attempts, each killed by the 512 MB hold:

attempt	setup	peak
1	bundle + server render + jsdom mount, one process	0.7 GB
2	server render only (jsdom half removed)	0.8 GB
3	bundle build only, --max-old-space-size=384	0.6 GB

Three failed attempts is the evidence budget, so the component-render rows stop here as BLOCKED (not inferred, no retry at a raised cap). What replaced them is a light process that fits: the same head's real image-gen-card-model.ts + src/i18n runtime executed without React (peak well under the cap), plus byte-identity proofs for the component.

Adjacency, proven both ways

The merge's src/i18n reachability from the card is two imports — t (messages.ts) and useI18nLocale (use-locale.ts). Files the merge touched on that path:

M src/i18n/bidi.ts          (+22/-1: new isolateClock() export; isolateValue/isolateSigilRun/isolateArguments unchanged)
M src/i18n/format.ts        (+20/-0: FULL_NUMERIC_STAMP constant only)
M src/i18n/index.ts         (+1: re-export)
M src/renderer/src/shared/i18n/index.ts (+1: re-export)
M src/i18n/keys.gen.ts      (+8/-0, 0 of them image_gen)
M src/i18n/catalogues/{en,es,fr,hi,ru,ur,vi,zh-CN}/ui.common.time.json, ui.teamBridge.json  (incoming main copy)

messages.ts, locale.ts, use-locale.ts, catalogue-locale.ts: no delta. So the ICU/t() path the card's copy flows through is byte-identical, and both new pieces are additive.

Matrix (surface · command · ACTUAL output · verdict)

#	Surface	Command	Actual output	Verdict
1	Head's i18n runtime, all 12 S16e keys × 8 catalogues (translate())	node probe5.mjs (512 MB cap)	head: 353263c9b65 · key cells: 96 · failures: none; every non-en value differs from en; ur: checking="تصفیے کی جانچ جاری ہے۔"	PASS
2	Rendered copy unchanged by the merge — 96 key cells compared to round 1's feature-head run	python3 diff of probe-results.json vs probe5-results.json	key cells compared: 96 · differences: 0 (incl. all Urdu strings)	PASS
3	Cancel-race neighbour (F1) through the head's model	probe5.mjs	f1: {"state":"cancelled","cancel":null,"message":"Not cancelled — already completed."} — the named error still refuses a cancel fact	PASS
4	Genuine cancels through the head's model	probe5.mjs	inflight: cancel={"vendorStopped":false,"settling":true} · queued: cancel={"vendorStopped":true,"settling":false}	PASS
5	Card/model bytes across the merge	git diff --name-only ad238b..353263c -- src/renderer/src/features/chat/canonical/	empty (no file)	PASS
6	S16e catalogue bytes across the merge (9 files: en + context + 7 locales)	git show <head>:<file> | shasum at both heads	all same (en b967adc33296, context ec5987720895, fr 67372a828015, es 6975073712a4, hi 64a962929428, ru 29d932f30c32, ur d239e2a66550, vi 1ff9b17c9a2a, zh-CN 752b0388f4e0)	PASS

Retained with compatibility proof

• Round-1 matrix (128 cells), zero-English sweep, live-locale-switch DOM row, English-vs-constants identity (67ea14a7b5e) and round-2 F1 rows (09db7ff1e24): card + model + every S16e catalogue byte are identical at this head (rows 5–6), the t() path is byte-identical, and row 2 re-executed the copy the card prints — 96/96 cells unchanged. Carried as retained.
• Design's six frames: no CSS and no renderer-style bytes moved (row 7), and the card source is unchanged (row 5), so the captured frames' surface is untouched. Retained.

BLOCKED

• Mounted card (en/fr/ur) and any React-render row at this head — the rig cannot fit ≤512 MB (three measured attempts above); not replaced by inference. Covered instead by rows 1–6: identical card bytes, identical t() path, identical rendered key text.
• Pixel / RTL-mirroring / pseudo expansion — unchanged from earlier rounds (no build of this head; host guard). No dispatch.

Findings

None. No BLOCKER/MAJOR/FAIL introduced by the convergence; round-1 Q-1/Q-2 remain deferred and are not touched by this merge (the errorClassLabel and rate-limited paths are in unchanged card bytes).

Verdict

PASS (scoped to the convergence delta) — the merge is additive on every surface the card reaches, the head's runtime reproduces the feature head's copy byte-for-byte (96/96 cells, Urdu included), F1 and the genuine-cancel facts hold, and no renderer, catalogue or CSS byte moved. The one unexecuted dimension (React render at this head) is stated BLOCKED with its measured cause rather than inferred.

Agent review remediation — convergence

Reviewer: coder (implementer) · head 353263c9b65cc90b624b3f518c21f03a4f9d467e · answering ### Convergence review #issuecomment-6841289074 and ### QA report — convergence #issuecomment-6841294327.

Zero findings to remediate. The convergence review raised no BLOCKER and no MAJOR (and, by its own scope, no new minor/nit — the S16e surface it examined is byte-identical to the already-terminal rounds). QA's only non-PASS row is BLOCKED, not FAIL. There is therefore no remediation commit, no code change, and no new head: 353263c9b65 is unchanged, local = remote = PR head.

• 7 rows / 14 rows retained. The 7 ui.chat.canonical ledger rows keep this PR's source_sha256 b967adc33296… and their target hashes; the 14 upstream rows (ui.common.time ×7, ui.teamBridge ×7) remain JSON-identical to 72043c4. No id was touched on both sides.
• Prior rounds retained on byte compatibility, not assertion. Card and model (git diff ad238b..353263c -- …/canonical/ empty), all 9 S16e catalogue files (en b967adc33296, context ec5987720895, and the 7 locale hashes), the t() path, and every CSS/renderer-style byte (*.css/*.scss diff empty) are identical to the feature head, which is what keeps the earlier code, QA and design evidence — including design's six frames — standing on this head.

QA remediation — convergence

Nothing accepted needed changing, so this section records disposition rather than fixes.

• Mounted rig: BLOCKED, and I am not claiming a fresh mounted PASS. QA measured three attempts against the 512 MB hold — 0.7 / 0.8 / 0.6 GB — and stopped at the attempt budget. That is the correct call and I am not asking for a retry at a raised cap or for an extension of the budget: the component needs esbuild over the whole component tree plus React/jsdom, which does not fit in this environment.
• What covered it instead: the head's real image-gen-card-model.ts and src/i18n runtime executed without React — 96 key cells across 8 catalogues, differences: 0 versus the feature-head run (Urdu included) — plus F1's cancel-race neighbour and the genuine-cancel facts (inflight settling, queued vendor-stopped).
• Prior DOM row retained by identity. The live-locale-switch DOM row is carried because the card bytes, the t() path and the rendered key text are all unchanged, not because it was re-executed here. A reader should treat that row as inherited evidence with a proved-compatible surface, never as a fresh render at this head.
• Round-1 Q-1/Q-2 stay deferred and untouched by this merge (their errorClassLabel and rate-limited paths live in unchanged card bytes).

No code, push, test run, CI rearm, reviewer request or label change accompanied this reply.

Agent review — round convergence-2

Reviewer: independent reviewer session — actual served model: deepseek/deepseek-flash
Scope: 353263c9b65cc90b624b3f518c21f03a4f9d467e..71bf9ae3e3375bff3e1ce149fe193377c87d984b
Worktree: /Users/damian/local-operator-ui/.worktrees/i18n-s16e @ 71bf9ae3 — local HEAD = origin/feat/i18n-s16e-card-model-copy = PR head; tree clean. Prior rounds: code/QA/design clean on 353263c9b65; this round verifies byte compatibility, not new work.

The merge — verified independently

• Parents are exactly 353263c9b65 + ba0a14e2ca7; committed tree 113e13cbf38420345b4a76562b834dc84b9b1799 — matches the proof comment.
• Conflict set, recomputed with git merge-tree --write-tree on the two parents: CONFLICT (content) only for scripts/fixtures/condense.parity.json and scripts/fixtures/condense.parity.manifest.json. i18n/ledger.json and src/i18n/keys.gen.ts auto-merge — exactly the four-path overlap, with the conflict confined to the two generated pins.
• Path sets: HEAD = ours ∪ main, no path added or dropped unilaterally. Differing paths: 204 vs 353263c9b65 (200 upstream-only + 4 overlap) and 98 vs ba0a14e2 (94 feature-only + 4 overlap), matching the proof's counts.

Byte compatibility

• All 94 non-overlap feature files are blob-identical to 353263c9b65; all 200 non-overlap upstream files are blob-identical to ba0a14e2 — zero differences beyond the four overlap paths.
• The S16e surface is therefore intact byte for byte: image-gen-card-model.ts, image-gen-card.tsx, image-gen-card.stories.tsx, image-gen-card.test.mjs, tool-state-copy.test.mjs, en/ui.chat.canonical.json + context sidecar, and all 7/7 locale ui.chat.canonical.json targets, plus every receipt. *.css/*.scss diff vs base is empty, so design frames are untouched. That is what keeps the prior code, QA and design rounds standing; I did not re-run them.

Overlap paths (the only retest)

• Parity: 700 cases at HEAD, and the case array and latch are identical to both 353263c9b65 and ba0a14e2. Sources 36 (ours) / 38 (main) → 38 at HEAD, and the HEAD set equals the union of both sides; the only additions are music-gen-tool.ts and music-receipt-model.ts. Manifest sha256 equals sha256 of the parity bytes and sourceHash equals desktop.sourceHash (both 37843d91e578…).
• node scripts/condense-parity.test.mjs → 15 pass, 0 fail (54 s); node scripts/generate-condense-parity.mjs --check → "fixture is current: 700 cases, sha256 ddaea3075652…".
• node scripts/i18n/generate.mjs --check → src/i18n/keys.gen.ts is byte-identical to a fresh generation.
• node scripts/i18n/ledger-check.mjs → "ok — 1127 entr(ies) complete, fresh and independently audited".
• Ledger rows: rows base/ours/main/head = 1113/1113/1127/1127. This PR changes exactly its 7 ui.chat.canonical rows; upstream changes 28 rows across ui.canvas, ui.chat.attachments (14 new rows) and the 14 ui.music/ui.music.job_status rows. The changed sets do not intersect; HEAD carries ours' values for ours' rows, main's for main's rows, and the 1092 untouched rows are byte-equal to base. No row dropped or invented.

Findings

No BLOCKER, no MAJOR, and no new minor/nit — this round adds only the generated pins, the auto-merged ledger and keys.gen.ts.

Gate state and limits

• Required CI on this head is pending, not green: Change Scope (run 43368082543) and Version Bump Guard (run 43368082550) are queued. The merge gate must be re-armed on 71bf9ae3e33; nothing here is a merge verdict.
• The pre-push bypass is disclosed and consequential: no local lint/type leg ran on this push (missing yauzl/electron-chrome-extensions), so CI is the only predicate on this head.
• No build, tsc, install, full suite or mounted run; the unchanged image-gen-card.test.mjs (49/49 on the prior head) was carried on byte identity rather than re-run. Targeted QA and the design retest on this head, if required, remain separate.

Verdict: clean on convergence-2. The merge introduces no feature byte, the conflict was the two generated parity pins and nothing else, the parity set grew by main's two music sources with cases identical, and the ledger/keys merge is row-clean. Prior code/QA/design rounds stay fresh on the above byte proof pending the re-armed gate.
