Each of these shadow roots is position:absolute; inset:0, while its :host had
display:block with no position. An absolutely positioned element resolves against
its nearest POSITIONED ancestor, and an unpositioned host is not one -- so the
root fell through to whatever the partner page happened to have, or to the
viewport. It only looked right standalone, where the page fills the viewport
anyway, and inside a composite's .pane, which is itself positioned. A partner
embedding the element directly gets it painted outside its box.
All three are the shadow root's own root element, with only comments between
<template> and them, so none of them has a positioned ancestor to fall back on:
regions-list.vue:408 .rl-root at :409
region-dashboards.vue:733 .rd-root at :734
regions-mfe.vue:194 .rmfe at :199
dx-shepherd's census named the first as confirmed and the other two as
candidates to check. Checked: both are roots, not children of something already
positioned, so all three are real.
The fix is the house pattern -- position:relative on :host -- matching the
already-fixed cities-internet/connectivity-map byte for byte in shape, and
prayer-walk-planner.vue:628.
One line changed per file. Verified in the ARTIFACT rather than the source: the
rebuilt regions-dashboard.js carries all three corrected host rules (two at
min-height 320px, one at 420px). check:sfc-parse, check:synced-css and
check:one-scroll-container pass; the manifest diff is integrity hashes only,
0 other lines.
country-map.vue fetched /api/people-groups/list and mapped the posts straight to
points, without applyPeopleGroupList(). Every other consumer of that endpoint
calls it -- DataSourceManager, useDashboardData, useCsvExport, peopleGroupRecords
and the people-groups grid. So a host that asked for one curated list got the
WHOLE endpoint drawn on its country map, and nothing said so: the pins looked
like data rather than like the wrong list.
The list is applied to the raw posts, before they become points, which is where
every other consumer applies it. That is what keeps this element and a dashboard
showing the same country from disagreeing about which groups are in it -- the
same reason the country filter beside it is client-side.
The default list returns the rows untouched and makes no fetch, so an
unconfigured host pays nothing. A list whose membership cannot be loaded yields
NO groups rather than the wrong ones: applyPeopleGroupList's own contract, and
the safer failure for a prayer surface.
Measured three ways, with a temporary copy of check:universal-props that adds
country-map to its BUNDLES list (the reason the gate never saw this: 19 bundles
listed, this one absent):
- RED on the base: BYPASS country-map LIST-FETCH country-map.vue:98, exit 1;
- GREEN here: 20 bundles read engine, token, locale and list through the
library, exit 0, the gate's 9 planted-bypass self-tests still caught;
- a real list value changes the drawn count, through the shipped
applyPeopleGroupList and the served membership files: Nepal draws 34 points
on the default list, 29 on "frontier", 0 on "frontier-500k". That last zero
is data, not a failed load: the same membership matches 2 India rows.
Rebuilt on this base rather than carrying the earlier bundle, because
development rebuilt the same files in between and generated output is
regenerated, never merged. The list-membership URL is present in the built
bundle; the manifest diff is integrity hashes only, 0 other lines.
The row meta joined its first three languages with English commas and cut the rest silently, so a truncated list read as complete. It now goes through formatList (Intl.ListFormat) as a conjunction whose LAST item states the cut, from keyCities.list.moreLanguages ("{n} more", landed in R29): "Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, and 2 more" / "Hindi وUrdu وBengali و2 أخرى" / "Hindi、Urdu、Bengali和另外2种". Three or fewer languages show as they are. Not 'unit': in zh it joins names with no separator, and in ar and hi it still adds a conjunction (studio, measured).
join(', ') is English list grammar. The two user-facing sites now go through the library's formatList (Intl.ListFormat, R29), as conjunctions because each is the FULL list:
- PPLR's Rosetta popup, "Not yet cross-mapped in PPLR: {ids}";
- UPG Neighbor's bridge-language cards, "Believers in: {list}".
Key Cities' shortened language list follows once its "{n} more" key (keyCities.list.moreLanguages) is on development. The joins that stay are not reader lists: a thrown error's details, the bridge-languages CSV columns, and a gate's console line.
Two reader-visible lists were joined with a hardcoded ', ': the ADM1 names
in the selection error ('no people-group data for {names}') and the
selected territories in the batch HUD. Both use formatList now (R29), so
de reads 'Gujarat, Rajasthan und Odisha', zh 'Gujarat、Rajasthan和Odisha',
ar 'Gujarat وRajasthan وOdisha'. The locale is passed from the i18n ref
(packetLang), not left to getRuntimeLocale, so the HUD's list re-renders
on a runtime language switch. formatClipboard's join stays: its only
caller is a test handle.
Three places joined names with ", ", which is a list only in English. Arabic
separates with a word, Chinese uses a different mark entirely and no comma at
any position, and German and French put a word before the last item. The
separator and the final connector are the grammar, so no catalogue key can fix
them from outside.
Two of the three carried a second, worse error. A multi-value filter holds
ALTERNATIVES -- the bus matches a row if ANY of its values matches, in
useSelectionBus with some() and in the data table with includes() -- so the
chip means "Islam or Hinduism". Joined with a comma it reads as "and" in every
language with an explicit connector, which states the opposite of what the
filter does. Those two become a disjunction.
The third is the screen-reader live region, which names the facets currently
applied. Those hold together and narrow the set in turn, so it is a
conjunction. It is also the one string here that some readers rely on entirely,
having no chips to glance at.
The composable is the single owner: every surface that turns a filter into
words comes through it, so the chip bar, the research-filter chips and the CSV
provenance line now say the same thing in the same language.
Left alone deliberately: five joins in this plugin's gate scripts. Those are
failure messages read in a terminal by whoever runs the gate, not text shown to
a reader, and formatting them per locale would help nobody.
Source only. This needs the bundle rebuilt before it ships.
formatList (R29) replaces join(', ') at the two sites that a reader sees. The
separator was never a missing key — no key can fix punctuation between
interpolated values — which is why both survived every i18n gate.
connectivity-map.vue:365, CONJUNCTION. The Indian states with no boundary are
ALL missing one. The names land inside a translated sentence at :595, and the ar
message reads "لا توجد بعد حدود ولاية لـ {names}: …", so English commas were
being printed inside Arabic prose.
GiCombos.vue:49, DISJUNCTION, decided from the matcher and not from what reads
better: useSelectionBus.js:299 tests cur.includes(value) and toggleFilterValue
adds to the list, so two values on one facet WIDEN the result set. "Africa and
Asia" would state the opposite of what the filter does. This changes the English
too — "Africa, Asia" becomes "Africa or Asia" — which is a gain, because a comma
silently reads as ALL.
Measured, the same three names and two facet values through each type:
en "Ladakh, Puducherry, and Chandigarh" "Africa or Asia"
ar "Ladakh وPuducherry وChandigarh" "Africa أو Asia"
zh "Ladakh、Puducherry和Chandigarh" "Africa或Asia"
was "Ladakh, Puducherry, Chandigarh" "Africa, Asia"
ar joins with و and no comma at all; zh uses 、. Neither is reachable by keying.
Not converted, and deliberately: useBoard.js:126 is a console.warn for
developers, and rudder-voice.vue:971 is in a component with zero i18n imports and
no catalogue area — English by construction, so it converts with the rest of
Rudder if Rudder is ever localized.
Source only. The rebuilds are regenerated after this rebases onto landed R29.
73bc270bc gave :host a height and stopped the ELEMENT overflowing. It did not
stop the MAP, because it never made the host a containing block.
.gm is position:absolute;inset:0, which resolves against the nearest POSITIONED
ancestor. :host had display:block and a height but no position, so on a partner
page .gm resolved against whatever the PARTNER had positioned and the map sized
itself to that. rega measured it in the hostbox run on ca07fc3c8: the element
correct at 420px inside a 420px box, the canvas inside it still 900px, and the
"Tap a coloured dot" pill and the attribution painting 478px below the box —
538px in a 360px box — over the partner's own text, whose top sits at y=464/404.
position:relative on :host is the whole fix, and it is the house pattern:
prayer-walk-planner.vue:628 carries the identical shape with an absolute child.
Worth recording, because the first fix passed every check: a host box that is
the right size proves nothing about what is drawn inside it. Only a partner-page
shot with content BELOW the box can see this, which is why rega's hostbox run
found it and my source reading did not.
With no resolver configured, the kit chip bar joined a multi-value filter with ', ', so "Africa,
Asia" read as ALL to most people and carried English commas in every locale. The selection bus
matches several values on one facet with includes() (useSelectionBus isFilterActive), so adding a
value WIDENS the result: they are alternatives. The chip now uses formatList(value, { type:
'disjunction' }): "Africa or Asia", "Africa أو Asia", "Africa或Asia". gospel traced the matcher
and made the call as the only consumer's owner (gospel-internet's GiCombos). The English on this
chip changes from a comma to "or".
check:legend-mirrors lifts this exact expression and drives it with no resolver. It now lifts
formatList from library/i18n the same way (the shipped grammar, not a copy) and expects
"Islam or Hinduism". Poisoned with the old join it fails; restored it passes. formatList's doc now
says to choose the type by what the list MEANS, and never 'unit' for names.
useLegendMapBridge.js now exports regionIdle (sr, pair 1). The local
function is deleted and the name imported beside the bridge's other
exports; all 15 calls keep their values, the dynamic regionIdle(v)
included. Built bundle: the idle expression occurs exactly once before
and after (the local copy before, the library's after), 1 byte apart;
the country-posters composite still mounts. check:region-paint-single-
source PASS. Also drops a comment left behind when clearCountryHighlight
moved to the same library module.
useLegendMapBridge took the idle paint helper as an injected dependency and
called it five times, while each consuming map defined its own copy of the
one-line body and handed it over. The library owned the paint logic and not the
expression it painted with, so the copies could drift apart silently and the
two maps would render the same idle state differently.
Export it from the composable instead, and take it from there in this map. The
injected parameter is deliberately KEPT for one round: inside the composable
the parameter shadows the module export, so what the bridge paints with is
still exactly what its callers pass, and this change cannot move behaviour. It
is a deletion in the plugin and an addition in the library, nothing more. The
parameter goes when the second map has adopted the export too.
This map held a THIRD copy under a different name -- a function-scoped helper
in the paint prewarm, byte-identical body, used once. It now refers to the
library helper.
Verified rather than assumed: the library version and both original plugin
versions produce identical output for every value the maps actually pass,
including the dynamic one. check:region-paint-single-source is green for this
map and stays red for the other until it adopts the export, which is the state
the gate is meant to report.
The second map is the other plugin's file and is not touched here; its owner
takes that half.
Until now these ran from _qa-cycle, so they proved a landing once and guarded nothing after it. Each now lives with its plugin, locates the repo from its own path, and fails on its known-bad:
- wall-of-people-groups/scripts/check-wall-wysiwyg.mjs: the screen poster and the print are one layout on every preset (sheets, 2,107 card rects to 0.002 in, name size and wrap, reference size, chrome blocks). Planted: a card moved 0.01 in, a name a point larger, the footer missing on screen. About 0.6 s.
- wall-of-people-groups/scripts/check-wall-print-watch.mjs: the HD print counts its photos while they load, counts the ones that could not load, finishes at load or the 10-minute ceiling, and ends when its frame is gone. Planted copies of printWatch.js now go to the OS temp folder, never into the tree. About 0.3 s.
- wall-of-people-groups/scripts/check-wall-no-bg-photos.mjs + fixtures/pray-list-sample.json: the real store (through Vite) never requests a photo on its own, a group with no photo URL gets none, and one with a URL keeps it. Planted: the old background test, added through the store's $onAction. The store from before L12 (d9e9aa448) fails both arms: 12 photo requests in 3.5 s and 3 groups on the 404 placeholder. The fixture is a trimmed sample of the live list: 200 rows (120 with has_photo, 77 without, 3 synthetic with no image_url), only the fields the check reads, 66 KB. About 10 s.
- template-bundle/scripts/check-template-i18n.mjs: profile B renders from template.json in en, ar and zh, one sentence in each language's own order with both <code> islands, and no raw key. Planted: the English catalogue served as Arabic. About 4 s.
All four are headless: no browser seat.
This corrects my own "Other" fix (9d12e59b6), which could never fire. gospel's cities-internet analysis (87a168195) showed the same shape here: key-cities.json has no row with an empty region (1,646 rows), "Other" (2) and "N/A" (19) are region VALUES, and every section heading printed its raw English data string in every locale. The fallback I translated also put a label into the grouping key.
Now, as in cities-internet: the raw region string stays the grouping key (sections, :key, collapse state), with 'Other' as the data guard; the heading is projected at render by regionLabel.js from the keys the data's strings already are the English values of (dashboard.wagfRegion.*, dashboard.other, wall.na), written out in full so the build ships those areas. The poster wall, whose PosterWall prints its section name as given, groups by that projected heading, as country-posters' wall does. keyCities.posters.otherRegion is no longer used.
Headless (_qa-cycle/exp-shepherd/check-keycities-regions.mjs): every one of the nine region values maps to its catalogue heading in ar, zh, es and ru, and an unknown value passes through as data. key-cities is gated, so nothing in public/ changes.
The chips a reader sees on a group's sheet — "Scripture,", "Bible video",
"Training", "Gospel presentation" — were plain template text. All four already
had keys with real ar and zh translations, so this routes them through
gospel.res.* and adds nothing: scripture, bibleVideo, training,
gospelPresentation.
WHAT IS DELIBERATELY LEFT ALONE, because it is not a label:
- g.audio.m keeps its raw value and its 'audio' default. That is the table's own
media descriptor, data rather than UI text.
- gospel-resource-rows.js is already correct. add(title, type, …) translates
title through tx() and keeps type as the category identifier the rows are
grouped by; the gate flags those type strings, but translating them would
break the grouping — the same value/label trap as the region headings.
- d.s.replace('Open Bible Stories', 'Bible Stories') at :2754 rewrites a DATA
value, not a label.
- data-tables.vue:122 already carries labelKey; its `en:` is the fallback beside
it, by design.
- The caveat prose (Driver row 80) and the title= tooltips (row 120) are
untouched and stay that way until those rows are answered.
check:hardcoded-english on gospel-resources: 91 -> 87, which is these four.
rega's L12 photo probe read host.__wallLod().cardPx as 0 after 46 wheel ticks: the field was set once when the cards were first laid out and never again, since the canvas renderer replaced the LOD component that used to update it. The canvas now records one card's on-screen width at every frame it draws (stats.cardPx, both the grid and the poster), and the hook returns that. The container's header comment no longer claims Font Awesome is loaded: the canvas draws its own icons, and d3 is pinned and kept off window.d3 (src/wallD3.js).
rega saw "Other" in ar and zh. The reported cause — `c.region || 'Other'` at
:65 — is not one: of 175 rows in connectivity.json NONE has a falsy region, so
that fallback never fires. The "Other" section is one row (United States) whose
region IS the string "Other". Patching :65 would have changed nothing on screen.
The render site is `{{ sec.name }}`, and it printed the raw data value for ALL
NINE regions, so this was nine English headings rather than one.
All nine already had translated keys — dashboard.wagfRegion.* for the seven WAGF
regions, dashboard.other, wall.na — in all 11 locales. None needed adding.
THE LABEL IS PROJECTED AT RENDER, NEVER AT GROUPING. sec.name keys the Map, the
:key, and the collapse state, so translating it where the rows are grouped would
reset every open section on a locale switch and filter on a value no row carries.
That is the value/label trap useFacetAggregation.js documents at OTHER_KEY; this
follows the same shape.
The name->key map is built by asking the ENGLISH catalogue what each key says,
rather than writing the English phrases here: the data's region strings are the
catalogue's own English values, so English is the join and never has to be
duplicated. Written the other way it added two check:hardcoded-english findings
to a file that had none — an English phrase used as a lookup key reads exactly
like a user-visible string.
tStatic(path, 'en'), not t(). t()'s signature is (key, params, plural), so
t(k, 'en') passes 'en' as params and returns the RUNTIME locale's value: the map
would be built from Arabic values and match no region at all.
The keys are written out in full because internal/i18n-areas.mjs bundles an area
only when its name appears literally in a reached file. cities-internet shipped
14 areas and neither dashboard nor wall; assembling these at runtime would have
left all nine unresolved in the shipped bundle while working in the dev tree.
Measured both ways — written out, the bundle takes 16.
`|| 'Other'` stays as a data guard so a future row with no region cannot key the
Map on undefined, and 'Other' is the sentinel dashboard.other projects.
9 of 9 headings translate in ar and zh, verified against the real catalogues.
rega's L15 (e7f343d4c, ar + zh): every PPLR map view's fullscreen button read "Toggle fullscreen" in English, title and aria-label. It is PPLR's own control (FullscreenToggleControl in src/utils/pplrMap.js, not MapLibre's), and it wrote the English itself. It now takes the shared buttons.toggleFullscreen, already translated in all 11 locales, when the map is built.
cities-list.vue grouped region-less rows under a hardcoded 'Other' section heading, a single English word, which is the hardcoded-english gate's blind spot. It now reuses keyCities.posters.otherRegion (all 11 locales, landed in R25). The same literal in cities-internet's connectivity-list, where rega's R25 look found it in ar and zh, is gospel's and goes to gospel. The SSR check (check-keycities-i18n.mjs) passes; key-cities is gated, so nothing in public/ changes.
boardEngine.js was createWhiteboardMap under another name: the bodies are
identical line for line, and every import it made already came from library.
It is deleted and the four components import @map/maps/whiteboard-map.js.
The copies were NOT interchangeable, which is the part worth recording. Their
DEFAULTS are opposites, because the library file was extracted for the
whiteboard case and boardEngine served both map kinds:
boardEngine whiteboard:false boundaries:true centre [60,20] zoom 1.4
library whiteboard:true boundaries:false centre [0,0] zoom 1
Three of the four callers pass all four options explicitly, so they were never
at risk. GiMap — the geographic map — passed only a token and took every
default. Swapping its import alone would have set whiteboard:true, hiding every
basemap layer, dropping boundary attribution and moving the camera: a blank map
in production, from a change that reads like pure de-duplication.
So GiMap now states its four options. Every effective option is unchanged from
today's values, verified field by field, and the call reads the same against
either module.
Twenty-six references in capitals, which the earlier case-sensitive pass
could not see. Every requirement, date and measurement is kept: the 2026-09-23
instruction that removed the engagement and status filters, the MapLibre ask
with its Mapbox-compatibility condition, the blue-water-black-galaxy style,
the red ramp and the bin that collided with the heartbeat zone, the white
rings around the blue dots, the zoom that did not work inside the bounded map.
Two that are not quotes and were handled differently. The reduced-motion gate
opens with a medical reason — a reader of this map is photosensitive, and a
camera that sweeps the globe on every filter is a strobe — which is the whole
justification for the gate, so it stays as a fact about a reader rather than
about a person. And BpResearchHeader's "CAT-1 DRIVER CONTRACT" was a code
term; it is now the CAT-1 HEADER CONTRACT, checked for other references first.
Eleven lines broke and were found by re-reading every changed line, not by the
count. Removing an attribution left seven continuation lines holding the
closing half of a quotation that no longer opened, and four sentences carried
a pronoun for the speaker who had just been removed. The reference count was
correct at every point while the prose was wrong.
grep -wi driver across the three plugins: 0. The widened gate reports 40
swept, 14 still baselined. All six SFCs parse.
Chrome only, as scoped: the controls, status lines and navigation, not the data labels or the research notes. 192 English strings → 155; the 155 left are data and notes by that decision:
- the Semantic Trees reference (85: sample tree rows, API field names, taxonomy levels);
- the data-source panel entries (layer names, FeatureServer paths);
- the language family names and the tree level definitions;
- the index tiles' descriptions and source line;
- the cross-system ID names;
- five CSS/SVG values the scanner reads as prose.
What changed:
- The ten view names were written twice, English beside their tKey. The dead English goes, and the bar's brand is pplr.title.
- The theme and projection buttons on the three map views said "Theme: Dark (click to toggle)" / "Switch to Globe". They now say what they do, from the shared keys buttons.switchTo{Light,Dark}Mode and mapui.{enable,disable}Globe, as both title and aria-label.
- The sunburst's status is a key in state (pplr.status.d3Failed / readyD3), translated where it shows, so it follows a language change. Its count uses formatCount like the other views.
- The name-locales view's pill (pplr.pill.translations) and its data-sources button and header (pplr.ui.dataSources) are keys.
- The coverage scale's "0 locales" stop reads 0, like its other stops; the legend title names the unit.
- The index's title and help line are keys, and its tiles are named by their views' own names. Its old help line pointed at an Overview button that no longer exists.
22 English strings outside the catalogue. 10 were dead duplicates: the filter, tab and band labels were already translated from keyCities.* in the templates, so the English copies go. The rest now come from keys:
- the list's caveat is three translated lines, and its long sentence is ONE key rendered with useSentence, with the named-centre count and "Nominatim/OpenStreetMap" passed in as values (the name as its own left-to-right island, never translated);
- a row's group count reuses keyCities.list.peopleGroups, and the unknown internet pill reuses keyCities.map.unknown;
- a load failure reads "The data could not be loaded: {detail}" in the reader's language, with the server's own words as the detail (list and tables);
- the poster wall's intro and its "Other" region come from keys.
Headless, SSR with the real catalogue (_qa-cycle/exp-shepherd/check-keycities-i18n.mjs): the caveats render from keyCities in en, ar and zh, the gazetteer's name stays a <bdi dir="ltr"> island, no raw key or placeholder. The experimental English scan: key-cities 22 → 0. key-cities stays gated (dev only); it builds.
The starter every new plugin copies had 7 English strings outside the catalogue: profile A's "map engine not loaded" and all of profile B. Now profile A keeps its error's KEY in state (errorKey) and translates it in the template, with the engine's own message passed in as a value; profile B's heading, its note line and its sentence are keys, and "Served from {file} in the {bundle} bundle." is ONE key rendered with useSentence, the file and bundle names passed in as their own <code dir="ltr"> islands so each language orders the sentence itself. t() is called in the template throughout, never frozen into a constant at setup. The README's pieces table and "Your own text" section say the same three habits.
Headless, SSR with the real catalogue (_qa-cycle/exp-shepherd/check-template-i18n.mjs): profile B renders in en, ar and zh from template.json, with the sentence in each language's own order (zh puts the bundle first), both islands intact, and no raw key or placeholder. The experimental English scan: template-bundle 7 → 0.
check:no-new-driver-references matched "Driver" case-sensitively, so lines in
capitals passed unseen -- and my own greps were blind the same way, which is why
I reported this plugin clean twice. A case-insensitive sweep finds four, and one
of them carries a verbatim quote.
All four keep their engineering reason and lose the speaker:
· the reuse check states the negotiating position rather than whose it is;
· the substituted button font is blocked on a licensing decision, not a person;
· the code, not just the screenshot, is required to match;
· the table's ring and gridlines live in a global stylesheet, which is why
reading RegionDetail.vue alone could not show them -- the misspelt verbatim
quote is gone, the finding it pointed at is not.
Verified with grep -wi rather than the grep that missed them: 0 remain across
regions-dashboard and country-map. The four reasons are each still present by
their own text. sfc-parse, mjs-parse and no-new-driver-references all pass.
The gate matched "Driver" only, so "THE DRIVER'S ASK" and "HELD FOR THE DRIVER"
passed unseen — and so did my own verification, which used the same
case-sensitive pattern and reported zero. I checked the thing the gate checked
rather than the thing that mattered.
Seven lines across six files: five banner headings, one quoted requirement, and
the row-130 marker. Same rule as the first sweep — keep the reason, drop the
speaker — with the verbatim quote in build-doxa-gospel-access.mjs restated as
the question the map answers, since its content is the requirement and its
framing was attribution.
Comment-only: 0 non-comment lines changed, tree regenerates identically.
Case-insensitive grep across all three plugins now returns nothing.
check:no-new-driver-references matched 'Driver' only, so lines in capitals
passed unseen (and so did my own grep -w Driver). In my-upg-100-list:
'BATCH-UNION DRIVER' and 'gate drivers' are test handles, so they say so;
'in its driver' is generate.mjs's main routine; the zoning declarations'
'PENDING DRIVER' and 'In DRIVER-DECISIONS-DIGEST' become a pending product
decision and the product-decisions digest. grep -rni driver across both
plugins: 0.
Since the regional grouping, buildLegendNodes assembles the tree from the
LEAVES under the poster page's nine region sections. The old India, China,
"Asia (admin-1)" and "Frontier Asia (uncovered)" parents were still built
and never returned: dead code whose English labels the call-site triage
read as reader text. They are deleted, with sumCount, which only they used.
The legend's output is byte-identical for all four configurations
(with/without records, with/without the localizing options; 2,107 records).
The L15 shape assertion now composes its text inside the throw: the
offending leaves are collected as data and formatted in new Error(...), so
the message is visibly developer text. Same message, checked on bad input.
pop-proof.mjs had been failing on every run, because section 3 looked up
those same dead parents, and section 1 expected their count (32). It now
rolls up the nine region parents the tree actually has (each pop = the sum
of its children, and there must be at least one) and expects 28 leaves + 9
regions = 37. ALL PASS, identically against the previous legend-tree.js.
Fourteen references, each rewritten to state the requirement directly. Every
date, measurement and pixel coordinate is kept — the y=1827/y=1865 redundancy
that prompted the count line, the 2026-09-22 interoperability report behind
the Language and Status props, the 220x130 letterbox the square image
replaced, the dev-server path that showed "view more information" reaching
the wrong page, and the India click that left the grid unchanged.
Thirteen were found by a case-sensitive search and a fourteenth was not: a
line in capitals, carrying a verbatim quote, which `grep -w Driver` cannot
see. The check that catches both is `grep -wi driver`, and it now reports 0.
Two sentences broke in the first pass and were found by re-reading every
changed line rather than by the reference count: one left "the control the"
with its object removed, and one left a quotation with an unclosed quote when
the surrounding attribution went. The count was correct while the prose was
wrong, which is why the count is not the check.
check:no-new-driver-references passes. research-map-plus-grid and
dashboard-plus-grid both rebuild byte-identical.
rega at 390 (b07fc59e0, en + ar, both views): the sheet lowers and raises as it should, but
- the map's attribution control sat under the sheet, lowered or raised, in all four cases. On a phone the map's bottom control corners now sit above the sheet: 55% + 6 px when it is up, 62 px when it is down;
- a pick with the list lowered moved the map but showed no detail, because the detail is in the sheet. A pick (a group, a neighbour dot, a bridge language, a group opened from Campaigns) now raises the sheet FIRST, so the frame is computed for the sheet that shows the detail;
- the hover tip was cut off at the right edge in ar ("Ko…"): it opened to the right of the point wherever the point was, and after a tap it stayed where the tap had been while the map flew to the pick. It now opens toward the side with more room, is at most 45% of the map wide, and clears when the map moves.
gospel-resource-rows.js builds each resource row's display text, and its
fallbacks were English literals: a record with no name of its own showed
"Scripture in this language", "Audio Scripture", "Listen in a browser" to an
Arabic or Chinese reader — precisely the rows whose source data was least
complete. check:hardcoded-english does not read .js files, which is why the
bundle's sweep never saw them.
Thirteen keys in eleven locales, and the translator is PASSED IN rather than
imported: the module is a pure function with no component context, and it stays
optional, so a caller without one degrades to the English written at the call
site instead of throwing.
Three publisher names stay verbatim — JESUS Film, Scripture Earth, Zume — but
where a name sits inside an ordinary phrase the phrase is keyed and the name is
INTERPOLATED, so "Zume discipleship training" translates around a brand a
translator never retypes. SE_KIND's values are displayed and take keys; its keys
are the upstream feed's codes and must not be touched.
Verified by running the module both ways: without a translator every row reads as
it does today; with an Arabic one the labels and scopes are Arabic while
"Scripture Earth" and "Zume" are unchanged.
ROUTED TO STUDIO, not self-landed: the eleven locale files make this a library
change. The route test says 11, and the last time I judged a landing by which
plugin the work was for rather than which directories it touched, the scan ran
against most of the fleet and timed out twice.
The shell's comments carried 23 of the reference baseline's lines, one more written in capitals that
the baseline's pattern never saw, and four internal card ids. Each is reworded to keep the engineering
reason: the 404s, the grey pane, the scroll trap, the device rule and the curated order all stay
explained. Quotes became the rule they stated.
Comments only. The script (esbuild, whitespace and syntax only, no renaming), the template (compiled
without comments) and the styles (comments removed) are identical before and after. The baseline
shrinks by the 23 lines that are gone.
<doxa-country-map> sent center: null when the host set none, and null is not
absent. Vue applies a prop default only for undefined, so an explicit null
REPLACED RegionCountryMap's [20, 10] default rather than falling back to it. The
null reached the Map constructor, and the engine's LngLat.convert threw before a
style or a tile was ever requested.
So any host that gave countryCodes without a centre got a dead map -- and the
page told them it was "a map-token or connection problem", which blamed the
wrong thing entirely and sent two rounds of investigation after providers and
tokens. Both center and bounds are documented OPTIONAL in this element's
contract, and the manifest's own embed snippet sends neither, so a partner
following our published snippet got nothing.
MEASURED on a host page across twelve cases: MapLibre selected correctly in all
of them, 0 requests to mapbox.com, 0 responses >= 400, 0 failed, 0 unanswered --
and no request to the tile host at all, because the map never got as far as
asking. The console carried the real cause the whole time.
The element now sends undefined, which is what "the host set none" means. That
alone restores the default and starts the map; the defensive guards inside
RegionCountryMap go separately as a library change, because they protect a
different caller rather than this one.
Probe reads the shipping source and states Vue's own rule independently, since
that rule is what makes this a bug. It reports whether the library guards are
present rather than requiring them, so it stays honest on either tree.
Two untranslated strings on a production print surface, both reported by the
Country Posters plugin after it fixed the same pair on its own wall.
THE CARD NAMES. postersFor returned the country-posters.json record unchanged,
and that record carries its label in English only -- so every card with a poster
was named in English in every locale. label is not decoration: it is the card's
accessible name, the print HUD's title, and the title on the printed list, deck
and packet. It now goes through countryName(iso3, locale) for a non-English
reader. English keeps the data's own names, because Intl's English differs from
them for 32 of these 175 countries and that swap is a recorded product decision.
The sheet generator still receives the original record; the poster itself is
English by the same decision. The locale REF is read, not a snapshot, so a
runtime language switch renames the cards.
INDIA'S REASON. posterUnsupported returned the record's own English note, so one
untranslated sentence sat on the wall in every locale. The record still decides
WHETHER a country is unsupported; only the wording now comes from the catalogue.
The key needs no number in it because the card shows the count directly above.
★ AND IT NEEDED A SECOND TRANSLATOR, which is the part that would have shipped
broken. This page's t() is useRegionsI18n's: it resolves DX-life's English
sentences as keys inside the `regions` namespace, because that is what the page
is cloned from. messages.countryPosterTooMany lives in another area, so t()
would have missed and rendered the literal string "messages.countryPosterTooMany"
on the wall. tKey is vue-i18n's own lookup, added for keys outside this page's
namespace.
Verified in the built bundle rather than the source: DisplayNames present,
countryPosterTooMany present. A probe over the real alpha-2 table confirms the
localisation across ar/ru/zh/de/fr and that an unknown iso3 falls back instead
of throwing. gates:pre 75 PASS / 0 FAIL / 1 NOT MEASURED of 76; i18n-parity and
i18n-keys-exist both pass. Cost +244 B.
FIX-RUDDER-PANEL-DRAFT-LAST-LINE-UNREACHABLE-WITH-TALL-HEADER.
.compact .compose carried min-height:120px, so the column refused to shrink and
whatever the header took was pushed past the panel's clip. The draft's own
scrollbar cannot help: the overflow is OUTSIDE the scrollable area, which is why
a wheel over it reaches the end of its content while the last line stays hidden.
Measured in the corner widget with the engine offline, header 237px:
390x560 — panel leaves 99px, the floor forces 120, overflow 21px.
375x450 — panel leaves 33px, overflow 87px.
Both reproduced independently, and both are exactly 120 minus the room available,
which is what makes the floor the mechanism rather than a coincidence.
Pre-existing: present on plain development as well as on my earlier branch, so
this is its own defect and not something a previous round introduced.
The floor is removed unconditionally. A viewport-height guard would not work —
what consumes the room is the HEADER, and a notice can make it 237px at any
viewport; an earlier version of this fix guarded above 520px and would have left
the 560px case still broken.
Cut clean onto development rather than carried on the branch it was written on:
that branch also held two hunks that were deliberately withdrawn after an A/B
showed they changed nothing measurable, and landing it would have quietly
reinstated them.
From the fleet census: 620 function bodies indexed across 29 plugin trees,
16 identical in two or more. These are the four cheapest — none closes over
anything beyond its own parameters, so each is a file move plus an import
rather than a new dependency to thread.
hostElement resolves the custom element a component is mounted inside, one
hop out through the shadow root. It was identical in three plugins, and it
is the piece worth sharing for a reason other than line count: every plugin
ships through defineCustomElement, a composite nests two shadow roots, and
code that forgets the hop operates on the wrong node while looking correct.
A document-level query for a node inside a shadow root returns null on a
working build, which reads as a broken feature rather than a wrong query.
Three copies were three chances to write that.
findScrollportAncestor walks up to the nearest ancestor that actually
scrolls, crossing shadow boundaries on the way — parentElement stops at a
root, so a plugin in a custom element would otherwise find no scrollport and
conclude the page does not scroll.
findNodeInTree and buildFlatLegendMatchExpr join useLegendMapBridge, which
already holds four functions from the same seam. They sit at module level
rather than inside the factory because they close over nothing: a pure
function hidden in a closure can only be reached by constructing the whole
bridge.
Call sites keep their old names through a one-line local binding, so no
call changed and the diff is the declaration plus an import.
Rebuild-and-compare, all five affected bundles, before -> after:
regions-dashboard 1,098,469 -> 1,098,479 +10
country-posters 1,484,053 -> 1,484,028 -25
doxa-research-map 1,354,051 -> 1,354,061 +10
dashboard-plus-grid 915,660 -> 915,644 -16
big-picture 366,907 -> 366,719 -188
net -209, and country-posters gains 25 bytes against the 1.5 MB ceiling.
Every behaviour-bearing token counted, not set-compared, and unchanged in
all three map bundles: regions-fill, peoplePraying, engagementStatus,
adoptionStatus, overflowY, scrollHeight, getRootNode, _flat_filter, religion.
Owners cleared their own files first: regions for regions-list.vue, upg100
for countries-map.vue. check:selection-kinds, check:legend-matches-source,
check:legend-data-contract, check:packet-variants, check:no-dead-library and
check:no-cross-plugin-imports all pass.
rega measured dashboard-plus-grid's own leaf at 390px: the page carried
"mobile": "desktop-only" in its profile-config, and the dashboard, the grid
and a MapLibre canvas mounted anyway. The rule lived in ProfileLoader, and
this composite defines its element without ProfileLoader (it bakes its
children in), so nothing on that page read the flag.
- library/composables/useScreenGate.js holds the rule (narrow screen, not
inside the Gallery, dismissed for the session); ProfileLoader uses it,
unchanged in behaviour.
- dashboard-plus-grid calls it: on a narrow screen the desktop-only message
replaces the element, and the dashboard and grid never mount.
- check:mobile-gating (g): every flagged profile's element must mount
through ProfileLoader (an import in its index.js, not a mention in a
comment) or call useScreenGate itself. The pre-fix composite fails it.
A commit on 09-25 gave some 30 browser gates `const ROOT = …(_fileURLToPath(…))`.
Two never imported it, and crashed with a ReferenceError the moment they
loaded: check-legend-info-localized (found by hand after four days, fixed
this morning) and library/scripts/posters/verify-posters.mjs, found now by
this change and fixed here. Both run only by hand, so nothing noticed.
The gate read only .vue and .js under plugin-designs/ and library/. It now
reads .mjs as well, and internal/. Scanning them surfaced standard globals
the list lacked (eval, EvalError, Bun, and the window members that
page.evaluate() callbacks use), which are added. A file tagged @one-shot
is skipped: it is kept as a reproduction recipe, not run.
item.label is the card's accessible name, the print HUD's title and the
title of the printed list, card deck and packet, and country-posters.json
carries it in English only, so every locale printed "Chad" and "India".
Cards are now named through countryName (Intl, joined from our ISO-3):
all 175 countries localize in ar, zh and ru. English keeps the data's
own names; Intl's English differs for 32 of them, and countryName.js
records that swap as a product decision. The list reads the i18n locale
ref, so a runtime language switch renames the cards.
The generated poster sheet still receives the data's own English record
(the poster surface is English by recorded decision), and its series
index is found by id, because a language switch rebuilds the cards.
check:poster-browser-equiv still passes, byte for byte.
ProfileLoader switches the i18n locale mid-session, and two things the i18n
batch localized were resolved once and then kept:
- the legend tree, built through legendOpts() and stored, so every region
and zone name stayed in the boot language (as did the flat zone list and
the search feed built from its labels);
- poster-wall's card names, a computed that read only getRuntimeLocale(),
a plain getter, so it never re-ran.
check:frozen-labels cannot see either: t() runs inside a function, and the
computed has no t() in it at all.
One buildLegend() now serves all three build sites and remembers the last
records; a watch on the locale rebuilds the tree, relabels the flat zone
list in place (colours and selectors unchanged) and rebuilds the search
feed. The wall's computed reads the i18n locale ref, so it re-runs.
The first-status watch (ac5a14ffa) now watches packetLang() rather than packetLocale:
the host may install i18n with a plain-string locale, and watch() on a non-ref never fires.
The 40 baselined references in my-upg-100-list (32) and country-posters (8),
plus 3 unbaselined ones in data/*.js, each wrapped an engineering reason in
an attribution. The reason stays; the speaker, the quotation marks and the
pronouns go. Dates and measurements are kept where they were ("decided
2026-09-24", "Reported 2026-09-24: the UPG-100 list legend on the map
overflowed beyond the height of the map"). Where a quote carried a
requirement, the requirement is now stated directly.
Comment-only, one line for one line (73 against 73), including the
meta.json note, which does not reach the manifest. Both bundles build
byte-identical to the base. Route test: 0 files under library/ or
internal/.
GiCombos built its facets object inside provide() at setup, so T() ran once and
the result was handed to the consumer as a literal. After a live switch to Arabic
every facet name stayed in English — the labels were keyed, the keys resolved,
and the reader still saw the wrong language, because what was wrong was WHEN they
were read rather than whether they were translated.
check:frozen-labels cannot see this: every call site passes a real key and every
key exists in all eleven locales. The defect is a lifetime, not a string.
The facets are a computed now, provided through a getter so a consumer reading
.facets re-reads it rather than taking a snapshot. Demonstrated rather than
asserted: with a locale ref driven en -> ar, the old shape keeps returning
"Access" and the new one returns "الوصول".
Audited all 179 t() call sites across the three plugins by enclosing scope, not
by grep. This was the only frozen one; the six GiDrawer hits my first pass
flagged are inside a computed 60 lines up, which is why a lookback window is the
wrong tool for a lifetime question.
The 36 baselined references in gospel-internet (23), gospel-resources (9) and
cities-internet (4) each wrapped a real engineering reason around an attribution.
The reason is what a reader needs; the speaker is process vocabulary that does not
belong in shipped text.
Every one is rewritten in place, keeping the measurement and the date where they
were there: "NUMERALS ARE HELD fleet-wide (2026-09-26)", "(2026-09-27: one more
level of zoom-out was needed)", "Reported from use: it overlapped the bottom of
the page". Where a quote carried the requirement, the requirement is now stated
directly rather than quoted.
Comment-only: 36 insertions against 36 deletions, one line for one line, and no
built text changes. Route test passes — 0 files under library/ or internal/, so
this self-lands rather than going through studio.
Two things I nearly shipped by accident, both caught before committing:
`git add -A` swept in a 1,961-line vite.config timestamp artefact from my own
build, and editing the JSON meta through a parser reformatted "composes" from one
line to three. The artefact is deleted and the JSON is edited as a string, so the
diff is only what I meant to change.
21 lines in seven of exp's bundles (upg-neighbor 4, prayer-walk-planner 8, doxa-simple-map 2, pplr-data-maps 2, wall-of-people-groups 1, doxa-vision-card 1, all-people-groups 3): each keeps its engineering reason, its dates and its measurements; the speaker and the quotes go (a quote becomes a plain statement of the defect). Comments only. Five bundles rebuild byte-identical; doxa-simple-map and pplr-data-maps change only in their Vue scoped-style ids, which hash the SFC source.
The HD poster prints on its frame's 'load', which waits for every photo: up to 2,107 photos, 132 MB, which can take minutes on a slow connection, and a photo that fails prints as a grey box without a word. The print button now reads "Preparing the poster: n of 2,107 photos" while the frame loads, and if any photo could not load, a toast says how many print as grey boxes. The counting is src/printWatch.js (it never decides when to print; the frame's own 'load' does). It finishes at 'load', at the frame's 10-minute ceiling, or at once if the frame is gone (closed), so the busy button never outlives its frame. The busy state's fallback moves from 120 s to that ceiling, because the frame is now kept until it has loaded (printInPlace, exp-shepherd/print-floor).
Headless, fake timers and a fake frame (_qa-cycle/exp-shepherd/check-wall-print-watch.mjs): progress climbs as photos load; 3 photos with no pixels are counted as failed; a load that never ends finishes once at the ceiling and not before; a frame removed at 60 s ends the watch within a tick; 4 planted defects (failures not counted, no ceiling, no progress, a removed frame holding the watch) each caught.
A single-file build inlines every import, dynamic ones included, so
packet-strings.json (~115 KB minified: every language's prayer points,
captions and headings) rode in every bundle that can print a packet, list
or card deck. With the wall's print messages translated, country-posters
crossed the 1.5 MB ceiling (1,502,226 bytes).
The table is now served at <assets>/lib/packet-strings.json and fetched at
the first print by library/packet/packetStrings.js, the same move as the
sheet generator and ne-places.json:
- Pinned like them: PACKET_STRINGS_SHA384 in poster-render.integrity.js
(pin-poster-render.mjs); the text is hashed before it is parsed, and an
unmatched table is not used. These strings are laid into the print
document, so an unverified copy never reaches it.
- English is bundled as the fallback (a named import of the JSON, so only
the en block ships): with no asset base, on file://, on a network error or
an integrity mismatch the print comes out in English and the console says
why. A print never fails for want of this file.
- generate-tree copies it into the pool AND the served allowlist; verified
by regenerating the tree (the served copy is byte-identical to source).
- check:poster-render-pinned, two-sided: the pin matches source and served
copy, the genuine copy loads all 11 languages, a tampered copy falls back
to English (mutation-tested: disabling the hash check fails it), and an
unserved one falls back rather than failing.
- sha384 is one shared helper (library/packet/sha384.js).
Sizes: country-posters 1,378,463 (was 1,484,053), my-upg-100-list 1,143,456
(was 1,243,509), regions-dashboard 973,802 (was 1,079,448).
The legend's region sections, its Deaf row and its one-country zones, the
wall's card names, the print progress and error messages, the map's status
badge and the Population column all rendered English in every locale. None
of them was visible to check:hardcoded-english: they were single words, .js
modules, Error() arguments, library components or number formatting.
- Legend: region rows through one REGION_KEY table shared with the wall
(poster.region_*, new region_deaf); zones through zoneTitle (tier A by
country, the Deaf row by its bloc name); node ids stay English-derived.
- Wall: card labels through zoneTitle, so the Show-on-map name, alt text,
tooltip, HUD title and printed title agree with the legend and packet.
- Errors a reader sees are keyedError(key, English, params);
errorText(e, t) shows them translated, and an unkeyed error still shows
its own message. Developer detail for a failed data load goes to the
console; the badge says upgMap.mapDataFailed.
- Population: Intl compact notation in the app's locale, same precision.
- Country Posters: the unsupported card's reason is
messages.countryPosterTooMany, not the data file's English note.
- Strings only the UPG-100 map shows move to a new upgMap area, so other
bundles do not carry them (country-posters 1,490,907 bytes).
- check:hardcoded-english judges keyedError's English as a fallback
(quiet when the key resolves everywhere, a finding when it does not);
check:label-key-coverage follows REGION_KEY to legend-tree.js and covers
the legend's table and its regionFor producer. Both self-tests two-sided.
Found while classifying the remainder rather than by the gate pointing at them:
the search box's aria-label was hardcoded English — screen-reader text, the same
class as the resize-handle bug that check:i18n-keys-exist documents — along with
the legend's open/close label, the three gap-chart titles, "unnamed language",
the unchecked-link notice, and "no code", which appears at six call sites and is
now one key.
Nine keys, sixteen call sites. 102 -> 88.
These were hiding inside the 102 I had described as mostly-deliberate. The
classification was worth doing for its own sake: four of the five classes really
are deliberate, but the fifth had real defects in it, and I would not have found
them by reading the count.
Five more keys: the table's loading line, the language sheet's population and
countries line, and the two bold lead-ins that introduce the caveat prose in
resources-list. The caveat prose itself stays inside its dir="ltr" island, which
the gate already marks deliberate — only the heading that introduces it is
language.
Not touched, and not oversights: "· GRN", "· Zume" and "· Door43" are a separator
plus a publisher's name, on lines whose translatable half is ALREADY keyed. A
brand name after a middot is not a sentence.
106 -> 102.
"Showing {shown} of {total}." appears twice, for the with-resources and
without-resources lists, and is ONE key used twice. The population suffix and the
related-language line join it; "way in:" reuses the key the gap list already has
rather than authoring a second one for the same words.
Three new keys, five call sites.
