Goal (c), and it turned into a goal (d) fix. Every profile element is
defineCustomElement(ProfileLoader, { configureApp }), and the configureApp has four
steps. The fourth, app.provide('appI18n', i18n), is the one that gets dropped.
ProfileLoader injects that instance (ProfileLoader.vue:176) to drive its locale from
profile-config. Without the provide the watcher holds null and the drive NEVER RUNS --
while setRuntimeLocale() on the next line still fires, so tStatic strings DO follow the
host. The element renders a convincing MIXTURE of the reader's language and English, and
nothing throws, because the t() shim falls back to its key. It reads as "a few strings
not translated yet".
SHIPPING THAT TODAY: country-posters, key-cities, gospel-resources, cities-internet and
my-upg-100-list. regions-plugin censused all 19 entry files independently and found the
same five and no sixth. The measurement is regions-dashboard's, from when they hit it:
a Spanish catalogue present, es set, and every t() string still English.
All sixteen entries now call library/elements/defineMapElement.js, so the five are fixed
by construction rather than by five separate edits. Behaviour is otherwise identical --
same options, same element names, same per-plugin extras. wall-of-people-groups needed
the helper to hand its pinia back, because it takes a store off its own instance and a
helper that hid pinia would have given it a second one: two stores and a silent state
split.
★ AND THE CENSUS THAT RECOMMENDED THIS SAW FOUR OF SIXTEEN. My detector hashed function
BODIES; eleven sites are not `function buildXElement()` at all, they are
`const El = defineCustomElement(...)`. I wrote "every number here is a lower bound" in
the census as a caveat and it was the headline within the hour -- a 4x undercount of the
item it recommended. So this gate greps for the SHAPE, not for a known list: a check
written around the four that matched would have passed the twelve that did not.
check-element-bootstrap has two arms. No entry may build a profile element by hand, and
the helper itself must provide appI18n -- PLANTED as a negative case, so the regression
cannot return by editing library instead of a plugin. It also fails if it finds fewer
than ten entries, because a detection that stops matching reports the same green as a
tree with no problems.
THE PLANT CAUGHT TWO BUGS IN THIS GATE BEFORE IT CAUGHT ANYTHING ELSE. The predicate
matched the helper's DOCSTRING, so it would have passed a helper that only mentions the
provide in prose -- comments are stripped now, because a check that reads comments is
reading the author's intentions rather than the program. And the plant itself used /m
instead of /gm, so it deleted the documentation and left the code, then reported that it
could not detect an absence that was not there.
First palette migration from SPEC-LIBRARY-CURATION.md. Source only; studio rebuilds
(rule 5B — library/ plus four other owners' plugins).
WHY THIS ONE FIRST: the duplication was not idle. doxa-research-map's
affinity-block.js carried A018 'Tibetan Peoples' and A019 'Himalayan Peoples' —
live on the pray-tools API — with colours measured to WCAG 1.4.11's 3.0:1 non-text
floor (A013 5.28 unchanged, A018 7.69, A019 3.53; sibling separations 2.61/1.46/1.79).
country-posters' copy covered only A001–A017, so 134 rows (6.4% of 2,107) fell to the
grey fallback #95a5a6 — the "bunch of grey colours" report. exp-shepherd confirmed
that code path headlessly. So the correct copy wins with no judgement call, and the
move FIXES country-posters rather than changing it.
FOUR CONSUMERS, NOT THE TWO THE SPEC COUNTED, and finding that is the sharpest
argument for the migration: research-dashboard/index.js and dashboard-plus-grid/index.js
each imported `../doxa-research-map/src/colors/affinity-block.js` — a cross-plugin
RELATIVE import into another plugin's PRIVATE folder. Both now import @map/colors/.
Only the build found this; no gate names cross-plugin reach.
THE GLOB STAYS in both plugins' index.js, deliberately, and is documented there:
resource.js is still plugin-local pending C1b, so deleting the glob would unregister
it and colour those pins by the soft fallback — the same silent wrong-colour class
being fixed here. Deleting the two STALE FILES is what stops the stale copy winning.
THE REJECTED-CANDIDATE NOTE MOVED ABOVE `export const PALETTE`, and this is a real
constraint rather than tidying: check:one-palette slices from that export to END OF
FILE and matches every hex, despite its own comment claiming it reads "only the
PALETTE export". #AF7AC5 was rejected for A019 at 2.95 — under the accessibility
floor — and mentioned below the export it would have been DEMANDED of every consumer
bundle. The note keeps the reasoning without creating the obligation; the gate bug
itself is reported separately since internal/ is not mine to edit.
The legend needed no change and that is by design: useAffinityBlockLegendData resolves
via getColorStrategy(COLOR_MODES.AFFINITY_BLOCK) — the same strategy the pins use — and
reads labels from the data, so map and legend gain A018/A019 together. Its comments
claiming the strategy lives in a plugin folder were corrected; they now describe where
it actually is.
GATES: check:one-palette PASS — 8 strategies, 16 bundle/palette pairs (baselined at 6
and 12 before the move, so a red would have been mine). check:library-index PASS after
regenerating the derived menu. check:no-free-identifiers PASS. All four consumer
bundles build; their artifacts reverted for studio.
Embedded with profile-config {"locale":"ar"}, this dashboard rendered entirely
in English. Not a missing catalogue and not a missing i18n install — the install
was there, one line short of being usable.
ProfileLoader is the root of this custom element, and vue-i18n's useI18n()
cannot resolve its injection at a custom-element root. So ProfileLoader takes
the i18n INSTANCE by reference through inject('appI18n') and drives its global
locale from the host's config. This entry called createAppI18n() and installed
it, but never provided it under that key, so the inject returned null and the
watchEffect that applies the locale quietly did nothing.
The sibling map entry (doxa-research-map/index.js:66) has always provided it,
and this file's own header calls itself a mirror of that one. That is how the
divergence survived: the two read as identical plumbing until you diff them.
MEASURED with check:host-locale-contract, before and after:
research-dashboard/research-dashboard host 0 of 1891 -> host 75 of 1891
75, not 1891, and the remainder has the one known cause already recorded against
Big Picture: most of this dashboard's chrome is read through tStatic, which
resolves the locale from the URL and the document and cannot see a locale set at
runtime. That change is parked behind another agent's landing in the same file.
The cap-4 composite bakes research-dashboard's .vue directly, so it never runs
that bundle's entry file and has to repeat everything the entry does. It
repeated Pinia, i18n and the colour strategies. It did not repeat this one.
Measured in the shipped bundles:
research-dashboard.js ..... 1 occurrence of mapbox-gl-rtl-text
doxa-research-map.js ...... 1
dashboard-plus-grid.js .... 0
So Arabic, Hebrew and Persian labels rendered reversed inside the cap-5 shell
and correctly standalone. Not cosmetic here: Arab World has 99 rows and
Persian-Median 49, and a reversed label is a wrong NAME for exactly the groups
this map is about. It failed silently -- no error, no warning, just mirrored
text that reads as a font problem to anyone who does not read the script.
Fixed as a shared library function rather than a fourth hand-copy, which is
what the composite-registration card asks for: one definition, two callers,
nothing to drift. Idempotent by construction, since Mapbox throws on a second
setRTLTextPlugin in a session and that throw is swallowed.
Four of the five entry side effects fail silently; only provide('profileModules')
throws, and that is the one safe to omit because a baked composite does not use
ProfileLoader. So "it renders" is no evidence the entry's work was done.
Found by the map-beauty agent, which I verified independently before acting
rather than taking the bundle counts on report.
