Comments in library/ and internal/ that quoted a person, attributed a decision to one, used first person,
named fleet agents or carried private host names now state the same technical fact in neutral words:
poster-render (including the comments it writes into generated posters), packet-render, the poster and
research scripts, PosterWall, DataTable, the legends, the layouts and the gates. The network-policy note
states the policy itself. Behaviour is unchanged: a few printed gate messages and reason labels drop an
agent name, the poster-render integrity pin follows its comment-only edit, and series.json changes only in
its _meta and _why notes. The historical poster design snapshots (library/scripts/posters/snapshots/),
which nothing reads, are removed.
Every reference to the Driver in internal/ is reworded the same way as in
library/: the reason stays, the speaker and the quote go, an open decision
reads "provisional, pending a product decision", and agent names and decision-
sheet rows are dropped. Where a gate printed the word, its message now names
the reviewer or the ruling instead.
Three spots were code, not comments, and changed with their callers:
- the element census's allowlist field `driver` is now `ruling`, in the gate
and both presets (same validation: match, ruling, date and card required);
- check:i18n-never-translated's DRIVER-GATED marker is DECISION-PENDING, in
the entries and in the regex that counts them (its output is otherwise
byte-identical);
- the package.json description of the census says "ruling".
public-hygiene-check keeps its two patterns for the word: they are what keep
it out of the served folder.
rega's ?lang=ar pass (KA3, 3d64bcad) found English on a localized map in four places, and the census
behind it explains why no gate saw them. Catalogue coverage is COMPLETE: of the 760 keys my bundles
name across the 21 areas they reach, ZERO are missing from any of the ten non-English locales, and the
per-locale English-identical values are numerals, acronyms and cognates rather than debt. Everything
rega actually read was a string no catalogue ever held.
· THE PROJECTION PILL said "🌐 Globe" / "▭ Flat" in all eleven locales. The icon is now the label.
Neither word has a catalogue entry and authoring ten new strings for a two-state toggle to say what
a glyph already says is the wrong trade — but mapui.enableGlobe / mapui.disableGlobe DO ship in all
eleven, as the ACTION, which is what a button should announce. They become the accessible name and
the tooltip. min-width joins min-height on the pill: the 24px used to come free from the text.
· THE TABLE FOOTER said "Σ 2,107 groups". dashboard.groups has shipped in eleven locales all along
(ar "مجموعة") and this one call site never read it. Written with the same singular/plural test as
the header count so the two cannot disagree at one row.
· THE REGION CHART labelled its bars with the prayer API's English region names. Seven regions is a
closed set, so they are now CATALOGUED — five generated from vendored CLDR by
internal/generate-wagf-region-names.mjs, which is the same data countryName.js already trusts.
Generating is what keeps seventy translations out of my hands. middle_east and
north_america_&_non-spanish_caribbean stay English: M49 145 is "Western Asia" and 021 is "Northern
America", and neither means the region we draw. An English label a reader can match to the map beats
a localized one that names the wrong territory. --check verifies the catalogue against CLDR.
· TOP COUNTRIES labelled its bars with the API's English country names. By aggregation time the
alpha-3 is gone, so countryName.js gains iso3ForEnglishName() — reversing its OWN table, exact where
it matches and silent where it does not — which is precisely the ✓ case its header describes.
One thing found while wiring those: the BAR label was the only chart surface still printing the raw
facet key. The donut, its legend and both tooltips already went through legendLabel(); the bar list did
not, which is why these labels stayed English after the donut was fixed for rega's earlier survey. Both
new facets are projected there, so the two charts cannot disagree about a name again.
English is left EXACTLY as authored. Both projections return the key untouched at locale 'en', which
also keeps the 42 countries whose CLDR name differs from ours reading as they do today. Nothing
localizes a VALUE: data-key, isActive() and every click and filter path still carry the canonical
English, the rule the religion donut already followed.
Verified: gates:pre 12/12, check:i18n-keys-exist / parity / never-translated PASS, and the generator's
own --check PASS. Rendering on ?lang=ar goes to rega.
