rega measured the WAGF Regions tab on Simple Research: the polygon highlight lands 51-85 ms after the
click, then 433-667 ms later it is gone — fill-opacity back to 0.7, line-width back to 0.6, no row
marked, every region at full colour. That reads exactly like the Driver's "the legend isn't connecting
with the map", and it is worse than not connecting: it connected and then undid itself.
Those two values are the fingerprint. 0.7 and 0.6 are written only by this profile's CLEAR paths, every
one of which is reached from a deselect — so something sent select(null) half a second after the click,
and nobody clicked twice.
SemanticTreeLegend watches the IDENTITY of its nodes array, and every tree feeding it is a computed that
returns a NEW array each evaluation. Any late async that touches a dependency — pins still arriving, a
lazily loaded layer, a refresh — rebuilds the array with IDENTICAL CONTENT, and the reset in that
watcher then cancelled the reader's selection: expandedIds cleared, selectedNode nulled, select(null)
emitted. The reset is right for genuinely new data; what was wrong is that it could not tell the two
cases apart.
It asks one question now: does the selected row still EXIST in the new nodes? If it does, re-point at
the new object and leave the tab and the expansion alone, because nothing about the reader's state has
become invalid. If it is gone, the reset runs exactly as before and the deselect is honest. Re-pointed
rather than kept, because the old object belongs to the discarded array and holding it would compare the
highlight against a node the tree no longer contains.
This is shared, so it is every tree legend on every map, not only mine: any profile whose data arrives or
refreshes after a click was silently losing that click.
NOT changed, and deliberately: the WAGF Regions TAB click also compiles shaders for regions-fill and
regions-border (rega: 2.9-4.1 s on SwiftShader), because those layers are added on that click. Warming
them at boot would mean paying for two more layers on every reader of every tab to save a one-time cost
on one tab, and the 6.4 MB regions GeoJSON is lazily loaded there on purpose. SwiftShader inflates a
compile by roughly an order of magnitude — the pins variant measured 3.2-3.5 s there and +0.5 s of real
boot delta — so the honest expectation on a GPU is a few hundred milliseconds, once, on a tab that is
already loading megabytes. That is a trade I am declining to make rather than one I missed.
Verified: gates:pre 12/12. Needs eyes: rega, the same WAGF Regions row click — the highlight should now
still be there at 5 s, and the variant compile may appear on that click once the selection sticks.
rega's contact sheet showed what no gate could: page 3 read as ONE SOLID GREEN BAR. 32 contiguous cells
fill most of row 1 of 52, so the page said "a big green block" where the Driver's intent is "32 boxes lost
in 5,200". Rarity is the whole message and a bar cannot carry it.
⚠ AND THE COMMENT I DELETED SAID THE OPPOSITE, WHICH IS THE PART WORTH KEEPING. It read: "Row-major, so the
shaded run reads as a contiguous block from the top — a scattered shading of the same COUNT would be honest
arithmetic and an unreadable picture." I wrote that reasoning about a picture I had never looked at, and it
was exactly backwards. Scattering is what makes the eye hunt for them, which IS the point.
DETERMINISTIC, NEVER Math.random(): a 32-bit FNV-1a hash of the ZONE ID feeds a mulberry32 PRNG, so the
same packet prints identically every time — two copies of one zone must not disagree — while different
zones get different constellations, so a print run is not 28 sheets wearing the same pattern. Verified: two
consecutive renders produce byte-identical files (md5 febafc1813c6 both times).
Partial Fisher-Yates over the index space rather than shuffling all 5,200, so a large share degrades into
an even spread rather than clumping.
★ AND THE NEW ASSERTION IS THE ONE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THIS. check-packet-render now measures the shaded
cells' VERTICAL SPREAD as a fraction of the grid height, at the RENDERED layer via getBoundingClientRect —
because a COUNT cannot tell a scatter from a bar. 32 shaded is 32 shaded either way, which is precisely why
every existing assertion stayed green on a broken page.
POISON-TESTED rather than trusted: rebuilding the same 32 cells as a contiguous run makes it FAIL with
"span only 0% of the grid height". The real packet measures 95% (32 cells across 26 distinct rows). The 50%
floor is deliberately loose — a genuine scatter spans nearly the whole page, a bar spans ~1%, and anything
between deserves a human look.
⚠ The poison test first ran on a copy in /tmp and the gate REFUSED it — "outside any checkout, so which
build produced it cannot be checked". A sensible guard, and it meant my first poison run proved nothing;
re-ran inside the tree.
en and ar both PASS at 9 sheets. Page 2 (the empty life grid reading as blank graph paper) is UNTOUCHED and
held for the Driver with the page-order question — shading a reader's life we do not know would be a guess
presented as a fact, which is a product decision, not mine.
English readers got the style's own bilingual labels, native script under every name,
so an English page fetched a glyph range for every script at world view: Prayer
Progress loaded 18 font/sprite requests (777 KB) in English against 5 (185 KB) in
Arabic. English now gets the same single-language labels as every other locale.
rega's load waterfall: the engine was requested only after the component tree
had rendered, and the dashboard's 384 KB country boundaries only after the whole
basemap style had loaded, so each waited on the other. The engine download now
starts when the map composable is set up, and the boundaries when the dashboard's
map panel mounts; the style handler awaits that same download.
The Driver, 2026-09-28: an export-poster button must open the PRINT DIALOG with a poster preview,
never a direct download. Simple Research was doing exactly the forbidden thing — render a PNG, hand it
to a download helper — so a reader got doxa-prayer-poster.png in their downloads folder with no
preview, no paper size, and no way to print it without opening it somewhere else first.
The dialog IS the preview. printImageBlob() puts the rendered poster on a sheet of exactly the spec's
size (@page 8.5in x 11in, margin 0 — the renderer already composed the margins in) and raises the
dialog over the map. It goes in library/composables/printInPlace.js, which is THE print mechanism here
and already carries the Driver's earlier ruling that killed the pop-up path: an iframe cannot be
blocked and needs no user gesture, so the same call works for a human click and for an agent.
The ellipsis comes back on the label. It was stripped while the button handed over a file directly,
and an ellipsis promises a dialog — which is now what happens.
★ AND THE GATE ASSERTED THE OLD RULING, which is the part worth naming. check-export-one-click passed
while the button did the thing the Driver has now ruled against: it waited for a download and checked
the PNG's dimensions. A gate that encodes a superseded ruling does not just miss the defect, it defends
it — the next person to "fix" this button would have had to break a green gate to do it. It is replaced
by check-export-poster-prints, same four cases (leaf and gallery, en and ar), asserting the new
contract: one click, some frame calls window.print() within 120s, the printing document is the
1700x2200 poster on an 8.5in x 11in sheet, and NO download arrives. window.print is stubbed in every
frame — the native dialog is modal and would hang the run — so this measures everything up to the
dialog and not the browser's own chrome, which is the right boundary for a headless gate.
Why the download half is asserted separately: a button that opens the dialog AND saves a file still
breaks the rule, and a download that lands late is still a download, so it is judged over the whole run
rather than at a moment.
Verified: gates:pre 12/12, check:doc-scripts and check:no-credentials-omit PASS with the rename.
NOT verified here: the new gate needs a browser, and this agent does not start one — rega runs it.
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.
doxa-maps-spa.js carried "internal role noun (Driver)" twice. It was not the
SPA's own file: the text is a CSS comment inside VerticalTabsLayout's style
literal, so it is string content and ships to every bundle using that layout.
Rewritten in BOTH synced copies (lines 355 and 844) to state the decision
rather than who made it. check:synced-css passes, so the copies stayed
identical. Verified against output: doxa-maps-spa.js goes 2 occurrences to 0.
Located by matching the SHIPPED text back to source, after two wrong guesses
worth recording. A backtick-parity test over a whole .vue file said all 25 of
that file's "Driver" mentions were outside a template literal, while 2
demonstrably shipped -- the crude lexer again. And the leak was not in
doxa-maps-spa.vue at all, which is where the bundle name pointed.
check:public-hygiene flags "internal role noun (Driver) — process vocabulary"
inside shipped bundles. Three of those reach regions-dashboard.js, and they
are not from the regions components: they come from the shared poster and
packet code, which every bundle using PosterWall carries.
The worst is not a comment at all. packet-strings.json's note_on_scripture is
a shipped STRING, so it is data a reader can read. The other two are a JS
comment and a CSS comment that both live INSIDE template literals, which
makes them string content rather than comments -- the minifier cannot strip
what is not a comment, and the shadow-CSS stripper does not reach a print
stylesheet.
Rewritten to say what the decision was rather than who made it. Three lines,
no behaviour, no reformatting. regions-dashboard.js goes from 3 occurrences
to 0 after a rebuild.
This is the white-label requirement, and it matters most for the artifact we
intend to hand over: a recipient reading our bundles should not meet our
internal process vocabulary.
ShareButton is not a .mcb. It wraps its button in a .share-wrap div carrying
border-radius:50% and a conic-gradient ring on ::before at inset:-2px, so the
button rules missed it and it kept a round rainbow halo inside the square
panel -- breaking the single-card illusion at the corner the eye lands on.
rega measured it at 390 and asked whether square should flatten it. It
should: in this variant the panel owns the outline, so a child may not bring
its own. The round default is untouched.
Gated, with a control asserting ShareButton really does carry a 50% radius,
so the two rules are not decorative.
A zero-width segment button was still rendered: an invisible tab stop, and the
first child that took the bar's rounded left end. Segments with no width are
now left out.
The dev backend answers /status with the same offline status as /events, and
Rudder reads it on mount and whenever the event stream drops, so a proxy that
buffers the stream no longer leaves it saying "Runs on your computer" on a
server that should run the engine. The local-microphone notice no longer shows
off this computer. The legend progress bar paints its grey band as a rounded
strip and rounds the first and last segment, which the 24px touch targets had
squared off.
Each segment was a 10px-tall button, under the 24px minimum (WCAG 2.5.8). The
track is now 24px with a centred 10px painted band, the segment buttons clip
their colour to that band, and negative margins keep the legend's layout
unchanged.
Collapsed, the pill reads "Rudder · voice to text". While recording it drops the
label for a red dot, a mic that lights only while speech is detected, and the
last few words on one truncated line, so a closed panel still shows the reader
is being heard. Rudder reports this through an `activity` event. Open, the
panel no longer scrolls: the draft fills it and scrolls on its own, stays
editable while recording, and notices sit above it; with settings or info
open the panel scrolls so they stay reachable.
The Scripture chip reads gospel.charts.newTestament and fullBible, so the two
gospel.res copies had no reader. In Arabic the count now follows a label
("number of parts: {n}"), which is correct for every n.
Links on partner pages write band=yes|partial, and the reader split on ',' only,
so such a link read back as one value and matched no row. Reading now accepts
either separator; writing stays ','. A literal '|' in a value is percent-encoded
before any join, so every separator left in a URL is a real one.
With no facet filter and no selection, a table narrowed by typing exported every
row in the source. The export now takes an optional search transform, and the
data table passes the matcher it already uses for its visible rows. An explicit
selection still outranks the search, and a caller that passes nothing is
unchanged.
A shared table link can now be written as one query param per facet, and a
param name may map to a different bus key, so links already published on
partner pages keep working. The CSV export matched no rows once a reader picked
a second value in a filter; the default row match now reads a multi-value filter
as OR, and the gate no longer exempts that line.
Card BUILD-SHAREABLE-FILTERED-TABLES, for researchers and media-to-movements teams: narrow the table to
the peoples you are working on, then give that exact view to a teammate or reopen it on a phone.
TWO GAPS, both measured on main before building.
1. IT WAS NOT REUSABLE. The share hash was a PRIVATE function inside
plugin-designs/research-dashboard/src/composables/useDashboardShell.js, so exactly one dashboard in
the fleet could produce a link. go-int's board had none — grepped, zero matches — and every future
kit dashboard would have had none either. Nothing in it was research-specific except its address.
It is now library/composables/useShareableView.js, parameterized: the bus and labelFor are passed
in, the filter and search param names are options, and no dashboard is named inside it. The
research dashboard supplies the one genuinely research thing — labelFor, for the display-only slug.
2. THE LINK WAS INCOMPLETE, AND SILENTLY SO. The hash serialized filterSet ONLY. Typing in the search
box is the commonest way this persona narrows a table, so a shared link reopened with MORE ROWS than
the sender saw, with nothing to tell the recipient their set was wider. For population data passed
between teams that is worse than a link that plainly fails. `q` is appended only when a term is
present, so a dashboard with an empty search box writes byte-identically the hash it wrote before.
`&` joins params now, so it is reserved in values alongside `;` `:` `*` `,` `%` — otherwise a search for
"rice & beans" would truncate the link at the ampersand.
check:share-policy grows a DRIVEN arm: the two pure functions are lifted from the kit source and RUN,
so nine guarantees are measured rather than asserted — the old format byte-for-byte on an empty search,
slug still display-only, multi-value still dropping the slug, the typed search reaching the link and
coming back, a literal comma in a people-group name surviving, an ampersand in the search surviving, and
both legacy shapes (JSON hashes, and old #f= links with no q) still restoring. No browser needed to
prove a string round-trips.
Source only. Rebuild: research-dashboard, dashboard-plus-grid.
check:filter-multivalue arm C follows the file: it lifted escapeValue/unescapeValue from the shell to
drive the hash round-trip, and said so plainly when they moved ("the hash format moved and this gate is
blind to it") rather than passing vacuously. Repointed to the kit module.
gospel-plugin's field card (f0798a67) shows them with English inline until the keys exist. share reuses each
locale's existing buttons.share wording; linkCopied is new. From dx-shepherd (CARDKEYS).
unicode-bidi:plaintext (row 86) also resolves a cell's alignment from its own text, so English cells
left-aligned inside an rtl table, and at its left edge 'Mandarin' clipped and 'Spanish' rows looked blank
(rega, L20 at ee1cbc05). Cells in an rtl table now align right; the per-cell bidi isolation stays.
rega row 86 (gospel tables at ?lang=ar; every table renders DataTable.vue): English and mixed cells flipped
under the page's rtl ('(Open Bible Stories (Door43-Catalog'), and the English hint tail and the meta caveats
rendered with their full stop leading. Cells take unicode-bidi:plaintext (Tabulator generates them, so CSS is
the lever); the English hint tail and each caveat are isolated in <bdi dir="ltr">. From gospel-plugin.
The Plugin Studio's corner button read "rudder-voice" (rega, repo: it showed in the README retake). A widget
button now reads studio catalogue key widget:<row key>, falling back to the row label; widget:rudder-voice/
rudder-voice is "Rudder — voice to text" in all 11 locales (Rudder kept as the product name).
rega measured the Arabic packet (row 83) and found page 8 still English. dx-shepherd's rule, which this
follows exactly: NEVER machine-translate Scripture — use a published public-domain translation per locale,
cited with its name (END-DXS-MK5GO).

★ VERSE NUMBERING VERIFIED AGAINST THE ENGLISH, not assumed. All five extract exactly verses 1-20 of 43 in
the chapter; verse 1 matches the WEB's "they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the
Gadarenes" and verse 20 ends at "Decapolis ... everyone marveled". Lengths land within 1,689-2,399 chars
against the English 2,141, which is the spread you would expect across languages rather than a truncation.
The English passage carries no verse numbers, so these are joined as continuous prose the same way.
⚠ AND I DID NOT WRITE ANY OF IT FROM MEMORY. Scripture reproduced from recall is machine translation with
extra confidence — the same failure the rule forbids, one step removed. Every character came from the API
and was checked against the English before storing.
hi/zh/pt/it/ro STAY ENGLISH and stay in DECLARED_ABSENT, which is now narrowed rather than deleted: PD
candidates exist (Hindi 1851 Serampore-lineage, Chinese Union Version 1919, Almeida 1819, Diodati 1649,
Cornilescu 1924) but their licence status varies by jurisdiction and I could not confirm it. The entry
shrinks one locale at a time as each is cited.
VERIFIED: check:packet-strings-parity PASS, and the ar and de packets both render 9 sheets PASS with the
passage and its credit on page 8.
rega, row 82 (gospel-internet board at ?lang=ar; gospel-resources charts share the component): under an
inherited rtl the SVG's text-anchor start flipped, so category labels ran off the left edge and value
labels drew back over their bars ('869' cut to '9'). The chart's SVG is direction:ltr, since its geometry
is left-to-right by construction; each label still shapes as Arabic. In every locale the value column was a
fixed 74px, which clipped '10,160,000' in a 335px card; it now fits the longest value label (never under
74px). Needs eyes: row 82 in ar and en.
With provider=mapbox explicit and no token, useMapInstance logged 'No Mapbox access token provided' as
console.error once per map (7x on pplr), while the UI already says "Map unavailable". It is now a single
console.warn per page, so production consoles stay at 0 errors (dx-shepherd, TKWARN).
upg100's 6b1f0ba4 gave the zoning gate a committed fixture (it now measures on a clean tree, exit 0) and
dropped the last reader of upg100WallIntro, so both land: the gate beside check:zone-census, and the
markup-carrying key deleted from all 11 catalogues (its three plain parts replace it).
The gate caught what I shipped: rendering the Tibet packet at PACKET_LANG=ar failed with "the funnel page
carries Latin-script prose in a ar packet: 'This packet is', 'UPG-', 'lists … How each number is reached'".
Exactly right — my new strings were English-only, and two of them PRINT on a page whose siblings
(funnel_title, funnel_intro, funnel_people) are fully translated. English text on an otherwise Arabic page
is not a graceful fallback, it is a half-translated page.
So all 17 new keys are now genuinely translated across es fr pt de it ro ru ar hi zh — 150 values — and
DECLARED_ABSENT is back to its original two entries (the Mark 5 passage and its credit). The declaration
mechanism was the right call while they were untranslated and the wrong place to leave them.
⚠ 'UPG-' IS ALLOWLISTED, AND THE ORDER MATTERS. It is the Latin run left by "UPG-100", the product name every
locale keeps verbatim — the same reason 'Project' is already in LATIN_OK. But it is allowed only AFTER the
real translations landed: an allowlist entry added when the failure first appeared would have silenced the
gate on fifteen genuinely untranslated strings. The allowlist is for names, not for work not yet done.
VERIFIED at the rendered layer in BOTH locales: en and ar each PASS with 9 sheets, map painted, content
intact. The Arabic packet carries its life-calendar title, christian-share title, both legend labels, the
three prayer columns and the "1 of 28" tip in Arabic, with 2 grids and 32 shaded cells — the same numbers as
the English one, which is the point: the arithmetic is language-independent and only the words change.
check:packet-strings-parity PASS.
Driver, 2026-09-27, in his own page order. Nine pages now, was seven.
1 map the zone's vertical one-pager (unchanged)
2 LIFE CALENDAR 100 years x 52 weeks = 5,200 boxes — a whole human life on one page
3 THE SAME GRID shaded by the evangelical share of these groups' POPULATION
4 funnel now an UPSIDE-DOWN TRIANGLE with an equation sidebar and a "1 of 28" tip
5..n groups 20 per page with photos AND three prayer tick columns
then the 12 prayer points and the prayer wheel (both unchanged)
★ THE 12 PRAYER POINTS WERE NOT LOST. The Driver believed they had gone; all 12 are intact in
packet-strings.json with his rhythms and sub-titles — praise/Two-Cross Gospel, wait/Holy Spirit &
deliverance, confess, read/the Father's love, ask/baptisms, intercede/laborers & shepherds,
pray_word/Persons & Houses of Peace, thank/rest, sing, meditate/communion, listen/accountability,
praise_end/great-greater-greatest — plus the Mark 5 passage and the Metacamp attribution.
★ PAGES 2 AND 3 ARE ONE GRID READ TWICE, which is the whole idea. 5,200 is the Driver's own arithmetic
(100 x 52), not a layout choice, so both pages derive from it and cannot drift into two grids that merely
look alike. A percentage drawn as a bar is an abstraction; drawn on the grid the reader has just
understood as their own life, 32 shaded boxes of 5,200 is the same fact made unavoidable.
★ AND PAGE 3's NUMBER IS POPULATION-WEIGHTED, because he asked for "% of Christian population vs lost".
That matters: by GROUP COUNT 69.1% of the 2,091 matched DOXA groups have no known evangelicals, but by
POPULATION the evangelical share is 0.61% of 209,079,159 people. The group-count version is a materially
milder picture of the same data. Computed in data/people-groups/christian-share.json, joined IMB
CSV ROP3Code+ISOAlpha3 to DOXA's snapshot — the same join the Vision Card uses — and READ here, never
re-derived, so one fact has one source.
⚠ THE BAND MIDPOINT IS AN ASSUMPTION AND THE PAGE SAYS SO. peoplegroups.org publishes EvangelicalLevel
as a BAND ("Less than 2%", "No Known Evangelicals"), never a number, so any percentage requires choosing
a value inside each band. The file records the method, the page prints it, and 0.61 + 99.39 = 100 exactly
— my first formatter rounded the large side to "99%", which loses the asymmetry that IS the point and
leaves a reader checking the arithmetic to find the page wrong.
⚠ GEOMETRY MEASURED, NOT EYEBALLED: square cells would need 26.5px x 100 rows = 2,654px of grid in
1,521px of printable height, overflowing the sheet 1.7x. 13px rows put 100 rows in 1,498px with 23px
spare. Caught by computing the height before rendering.
⚠ AND THE TIP SAID "1 of 27". listCount spread the three cluster keys and omitted `deaf`, whose two
deaf_lists entries buildLegendNodes collapses into one leaf — the same omission allZones() had before
3ef164c0, and this was its last copy. It prints on the page, so a 27 there is a visible wrong fact.
THE GATE IS TAUGHT, NOT TOLERANT: the two new sheets are DETECTED (.sheet-life/.sheet-christian) and
added as known terms, exactly as the funnel was, because that assertion exists to catch silently dropped
people groups and a ±1 tolerance is the slack a lost list page hides in. New assertions: 5,200 cells per
grid, the shaded count neither 0 nor 5,200 (either means the percentage never arrived), and exactly
3 x cards prayer boxes. Probes scoped to .lc-grid — the legend swatches share the cell class and made the
count 5,201 on the first run.
The 17 new strings are English-only and DECLARED_ABSENT with reasons rather than back-filled: English
copied into ten locale blocks would read as translated to this gate and to a reader, and the per-key
fallback already renders English without the lie.
VERIFIED: check-packet-render PASS (9 sheets, map painted, content intact) and
check:packet-strings-parity PASS on the Tibet fixture.
PosterWall remembered the card it had shown, so after Show zone -> Map -> back the same press toggled the
selection off instead of showing it (rega row 79; UPG-100 and country-posters share the shape). The wall
now forgets its last-shown card when its pane goes inactive: it watches its ancestor chain, through shadow
roots, for the inert / hidden / aria-hidden a composite puts on an inactive view (the PinHint contract).
dx-shepherd ruled option (a). Needs eyes: rega row 79 plus the same arm on country-posters.
Two certain defects from source. What I could NOT settle without a browser is stated at the end
rather than guessed at.
1. THE PROBE READ THE WRONG NODE. The sign has to match the element the GRID lays out with. Both
probes read the SHELL; the handle is a grid child, so whatever direction the grid resolves the
handle inherits — and the shell is one node further out. A host that sets dir between the two, or
a shellRef that is not the grid itself, yields a sign that disagrees with the mirroring the reader
can see. Both the pointer and the keyboard path now try the handle first and fall back to the
shell, then to ltr, so a detached handle cannot throw mid-gesture.
2. research-dashboard's two handles used PHYSICAL margins (margin-right / margin-left) while the grid
they sit in mirrors — grid-template-columns and justify-self both follow the inline direction — so
in Arabic each handle's 4px overhang sat on the wrong side of its own column. go-int's board
already used the logical pair; this makes them agree.
WHAT WAS ALREADY RIGHT, so nobody re-fixes it: the xSign inversion itself is correct for a mirroring
grid and is DEPLOYED — 2 of 2 rtl checks present in the built gospel-internet, dashboard-plus-grid and
research-dashboard bundles, so this was never a stale-rebuild problem.
MEASUREMENT I NEED (rega, one line): during a drag in ar on the Gospel x Internet board, log
getComputedStyle on BOTH the handle and the shell and report each .direction. If the handle says rtl
and the shell says ltr, item 1 above is the whole bug. If both say ltr while the grid is visibly
mirrored, the mirroring comes from somewhere my probe cannot see and I will need that.

Five lenses answered one question five ways on a 40-country snapshot, and the default
one silently dropped 27% of its senders. They are replaced by two views over one
dataset built from peoplegroups.org (7,307 unreached groups):
Mobilize pick an unreached group; see its reached neighbors at E-1 (same language),
E-2 (near culture) and E-3 (nearby, other culture), its P-level, what
resources exist in its language, and export them as audience segments.
Campaigns bridge languages spoken by believers and by unreached groups, ranked by
the unreached population one campaign in that language reaches: where to
run it, whom it reaches, exportable.
The dataset is fetched (bundle 1.27 MB -> 0.55 MB); the old view names open the new
views so existing embeds keep working. 65 new strings in all eleven languages.
createAppI18n already read ?lang= / ?locale=, so an embed opened with ?lang=ar showed Arabic text, but
ProfileLoader's own lang read only profile-config, so dir stayed ltr and the data language did not follow.
The URL is now its last rung; profile-config still wins. From upg100-plugin (ProfileLoader.vue:161).
82 lines, one importer (useDashboardShell), and every import already @map/ — so it moves as-is with
no adapter and no shim. Its inject('profileConfig') stays inside its try/catch: it can be called from
outside setup, and that is the property the move had to preserve.

The Driver: a public plugin that is not yet a production map shows under Experimental until it is. A
profile's .meta.json declares "stage": "production" | "experimental" (default experimental; a bundle is
production if any profile says so) and "heavy": true for a live WebGL owner. generate-tree carries both into
manifest.json, so the Studio and the gallery read the same field and neither keeps a list.
The seven production bundles are marked: dashboard-plus-grid, research-map-plus-grid, regions-dashboard,
my-upg-100-list, doxa-simple-map, cities-internet, gospel-resources. The Studio rail keeps its capability
sections for them and puts every experimental bundle (gospel-internet among them) in one final Experimental
section. The gallery's auto-discovered Experimental folder skips a production bundle. gospel-internet-board
joins HEAVY_ELEMENTS (it can own two WebGL contexts). check:studio-rail asserts the split.
The numerals policy is HELD — whether counts follow the reader's locale is the Driver's decision — so
this changes nothing anyone can see. Every caller renders exactly the digits and separators it
rendered before. What changes is how many places that decision is written down: thirteen call sites
across four bundles becomes one, library/utils/formatCount.js, and eight of the thirteen (mine) now
read it.
That is the whole value while the policy is held. If the answer becomes "follow the locale" it is a
one-line edit in formatCount.js instead of thirteen edits by four owners, each free to pick a
different locale source — and the first divergence in that world would be invisible: two panels in
one dashboard, same number, different separators.
★ IT FORMATS. IT DOES NOT DECIDE WHAT EMPTY MEANS, and that is the bug this fold would otherwise have
shipped. I told dx-shepherd these three helpers were "byte-identical". They are not:
DashboardDataTable null/undefined -> '' and '' falls through to Number('') === 0, so "0"
DashboardDetailDrawer null/undefined/'' -> '—'
useDashboardShell null/undefined -> '—' and '' likewise becomes "0"
Three different answers to "what does a missing count look like", inside one dashboard. Folding them
onto one empty policy would have silently changed two of the three — a table cell going from blank to
an em dash, or an em dash where a zero used to be. So each caller KEEPS its own guard and hands
formatCount a value it has already established is real. The locale decision folds; the empty policy
does not, and the difference is written into the helper's header so the next person does not re-merge
them.
Folded: DashboardDataTable, DashboardDetailDrawer, useDashboardShell (its exported fmt keeps working
for the KPI strip), DashboardFacetRail's three inline template calls, people-groups-grid's two.
NOT folded, because they are other owners': regions-dashboard (3) and pplr-data-maps (2). The helper
is theirs to import when they want it; nothing forces them, and no gate demands it — a gate requiring
the helper everywhere would fail on their files today, which is not a thing to land on someone else.

THE GROUP WAS SCHEDULED AS ONE LANDING AND DELIVERED AS TWO. Section 8 of the spec puts the facet
rail, the chip bar and the BREADCRUMB in a single landing. The rail moved in 4c-3 and the chips in
4c-2; the breadcrumb was left behind, and nothing failed, because it is mounted by nobody. A leftover
like that is invisible unless someone re-reads the spec against the tree, which is what this landing
came out of.
The breadcrumb gets exactly the inversion the chip bar got: no useTreeLegendLabels import, the
resolver read from dashboardConfig.legend, and the SAME unconfigured default — identity, joining an
array. Identical on purpose rather than by copy-paste: the breadcrumb and the chips render the same
filterSet in the same band, so if their defaults differed a half-configured dashboard would show one
value resolved and the other raw, side by side. Its dead `dataStore` / `searchSourceId` injects go
too; they existed only to build the composable that is no longer imported.
★ AND THREE ONE-CYCLE SHIMS FROM LANDINGS 2 AND 3 WERE NEVER RETIRED. plugin-designs/research-
dashboard/src/composables/ still held useDashboardLayout.js (11 lines), useSelectionCamera.js (11) and
useCsvExport.js (14), each a pure re-export of the library module. MEASURED before deleting: ZERO
importers. Every consumer — including DashboardMapPanel, DashboardDataTable, DashboardDetailDrawer,
useDashboardShell, gospel-internet's board and research-dashboard.vue — already reads
'@map/composables/…' directly, and a tree-wide grep for a relative import of any of the three returns
nothing. So they were dead code that made the plugin look like it still owned three library modules.
I wrote "a one-cycle shim that nobody retires is permanent" into the previous landing's gate comment
while three older ones were sitting in the tree unnoticed. They were not found by a gate; they were
found by listing what is still in plugin-designs and comparing it against the spec.
check:legend-mirrors arm 5 now guards three moved names instead of two, so a re-export of the
breadcrumb creeping back into the plugin barrel is caught the same way.

A media query adds no specificity. The mobile block's
`.map-toolbar { gap: 6px }` is (0,1,0) exactly like
`.map-toolbar--square { gap: 0 }`, and it comes later in the sheet, so it
won: on every phone a square toolbar fell back to separate buttons inside
one ringed panel. The shape broke precisely where the Driver is most likely
to look at it.
The --no-geocoder pair is (0,2,0) and outranked the variant whatever the
order, so it needs the two-class answer.
This is the same lesson as the goal cards' gap-vs-margin: a ported mechanism
is only ported if it still WINS, and specificity is the part that decides
whether it does. Found by following the phone thread rather than by looking
at the variant again.
check:square-map-controls now asserts the override is inside the mobile
block, that the two-class form answers --no-geocoder, and -- as a control --
that the base rule really does come first, which is why the override is
needed at all. Removing it turns the gate red.
The CSS comment explaining it cost one more mistake: I wrote the selectors
in backticks, inside the template literal that holds the stylesheet. A
backtick ends the literal, which is the trap check:sfc-parse names in its own
failure text, and it caught me with it.
The Driver asked for square controls by name. The fact that shaped this:
the square look is not a DX-life design at all. Their CountryMap.vue adds
NavigationControl + FullscreenControl and overrides nothing, so what he
admired is the ENGINE'S default grouped card -- which makes the target
published and exact instead of a matter of taste. Every value here is read
from node_modules/maplibre-gl/dist/maplibre-gl.css, and the check compares
ours against that file rather than against my memory of it.
SQUARE IS NOT A RADIUS SWAP, which is why it lives on the TOOLBAR. Round
controls are separate floating circles with a gap and a shadow each; the
engine's square form is ONE panel that owns the background, the 4px corners
and the 2px ring while its buttons own nothing and are divided by 1px lines.
Setting border-radius:0 on the buttons alone gives squares floating 8px
apart -- neither shape. So MapToolbar takes controls="round"|"square", and
MapControlButton keeps a shape prop only for a button used outside a
toolbar, where a lone control gets the engine's 4px.
THE 29px IS DELIBERATELY NOT PORTED. Ours stay --map-btn-size, capped to
32px in this toolbar. 29px would cut the touch target below what this
project has already ruled on twice, so the variant takes the shape and
leaves the size. It is therefore not pixel-identical to the engine, and
that is a choice, stated.
No overflow:hidden. Clipping was the quick way to round the panel, but it
also clips a focus ring on any inner button, and the engine does not do it
-- it rounds the first and last buttons instead. Ported as their mechanism.
MapControlMenu teleports out of the toolbar, so clipping would not have
hidden a menu; the focus ring was the real cost, and the invisible kind.
Forced colours ship with it, which the round buttons never had: an rgba()
ring and a #ddd divider both vanish under a replaced palette, leaving one
undifferentiated block where the controls were.
BLAST RADIUS: round is the default and none of the nine MapToolbar
consumers passes controls=, so every map renders exactly as before.
Asserted, not claimed -- opting one consumer in turns the check red.
The regions dashboard is NOT switched. Its map already uses the engine's
native controls, ported from DX-life, so it already looks like this;
replacing them with ours would risk clone parity to arrive at the same
picture.
One near-miss, recorded because of how it hid: the first cut added a second
:class to a <button> that already had one, and Vue rejects a duplicate
attribute, so the SFC did not parse. check:sfc-parse said so IMMEDIATELY --
and I had piped it through `head -2`, which printed its counting line and
cut off the FAIL beneath. The block count fell 133 -> 132 in that same
output, I noticed, and then checked script TAGS rather than parseability and
talked myself out of it. Two separate signals, both read past. The two
bindings are merged into one; the count is 133 again.
A page's own reduced-motion reset never crosses a shadow boundary, so library components rendered inside
custom elements slid, faded and spun for readers who asked for less motion: thirteen of them, including the
legends and map controls (regions-plugin found it on ProgressBar and named the class).
useShadowStyles now injects one prefers-reduced-motion reset into each shadow root it styles, which covers
every component styled through it, including later ones. PosterDialog, FilterDropdown and SearchFilterHeader
style themselves with <style> blocks and carry their own guard.
check:shadow-reduced-motion (in gates:pre): useShadowStyles must inject the reset, and every animating
library component must be covered. It fails without the reset (negative-tested) and found the three
<style>-block components on its first run.
iso3-to-iso2 mapped SJM to NO, so every research fetch keyed through it filed
Norway's figures under Svalbard. With SJM -> SJ on main, the four fetched tables now
hold what the pipeline produces for Svalbard itself, re-fetched for SJ through each
script's own code:
network-operators 60 Norwegian networks -> none (RIPEstat: 0 ASNs for SJ)
platform-reachability 15 rows of Norway's OONI -> 15 not-measured (no SJ probes)
social-platforms 8 rows of Norway, 2026-07 -> 4 rows of Svalbard, 2026-09
messaging-channels 3 rows from Norway's store -> none (no SJ storefront)
Norway is not added: it is not in the DX country spine these tables are built over,
so no build produces Norway rows here. Svalbard's own people group rows elsewhere
are untouched, and every other country's rows are unchanged and in order.
The three goal cards, the stat row and their bars were the regions
dashboard's own markup. They are library components now, and the plugin
renders them instead of holding a copy:
GoalCard title + figure + a goal line pinned to the card's bottom,
with a slot for whatever sits between
StatCard one figure and its caption
ProgressBar a single-value track, or a segmented one with a legend
useCardSurface the card surface both cards share, injected once per
root under a stable label instead of copied into each
The bar and its legend now read from ONE list of segments, so a width and
the number printed beside it come from the same figure and cannot drift
apart; before, each was computed separately. A segment's colour is a prop
carrying the same token its .rd-seg--full/--partial/--none class used to
set, so a shared bar needs no vocabulary about prayer and those three
rules are deleted rather than left unreachable.
ProgressBar carries its own reduced-motion guard. The plugin's reset is
scoped to .rd-root and would not have followed the component anywhere
else, which would have reintroduced the one-second sliding bar their own
site suppresses.
The rendered DOM is unchanged for all four instances, measured by
server-rendering the real components and comparing against the markup
that was deleted, including that the bar widths equal the percentOfSubject()
they replace.
check:regions-uses-library grows to cover all four, asserting both halves
again: the plugin imports and renders them, and no longer ships their
markup or CSS. The .rd-root strong rule STAYS in the plugin -- UupgsList
renders a <strong> in the same shadow root and depends on it, which a
file-scoped read would have called dead.
gospel.tableTitles.<tab id> and gospel.columns.<English title>, requested by gospel-plugin
(KEY-REQUEST-gospel-tables.md): under ar the tabs were Arabic and every heading and header above the
table was English. Standards stay as they are (ISO 639-3, ISO3, JSON, CSV, ROP1, SUN; a bare "ISO" header
gets no key and keeps its English). JESUS Film uses each locale's existing title; "Heart language" uses
each locale's own-language wording.
Reviewed against the data by gospel-plugin before insertion, which corrected five wrong-sense readings:
ALIGNED (conditions met, not layout), Band (a coverage level), Basis (the level the answer came from),
Code unlookupable (no source indexes it, not an invalid code), Scope (extent). Machine-drafted; not
native-reviewed.
upg100WallIntroA / Emph / B split the one catalogue string that carried markup (a <strong>), which vue-i18n
flags as "Detected HTML" on every mount. Values from upg100-plugin's split, each re-asserted here to
recompose byte for byte (A + <strong>Emph</strong> + B) in every locale; three parts because de, hi and zh
carry text after the emphasis. upg100WallIntro stays until upg100's consumer, which composes the parts and
escapes each, lands.
