Resolving package.json conflicts by unioning unique lines is right for a file
that holds one entry per line. Applied to ordinary source it duplicates
declarations, because both sides of a hunk keep their copy and nothing
de-duplicates across the join.
Eleven plugin entry points ended with the same import twice, and the poster
renderer with two identical `const sheet`. Each is a SyntaxError: every one of
those bundles would have failed to build, and the poster export would not run.
Found by parse-checking every changed .js against the merge base, not by the
gates -- gates:pre passed 101 of 102 with all twelve files broken, because its
parse gates do not cover plugin entry points.
One measurement trap worth recording. `node --check` on a .js file parses it as
CommonJS, so a bare `import` is a syntax error and ALL 28 entry points appear
broken, on development too. That reading says the tree is on fire and is simply
wrong. Copying each file to a .mjs and checking that parses it as a module,
which separates the eleven that are genuinely broken here from the rest that
are fine.
Three lines brought in with the list-pattern doc cited the Driver; the
reference gate refuses them. The rule, the scope and the open exception
stay as stated, without the attribution.
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.
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.
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/.
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.
Generating map sheets in the browser inlined Natural Earth's capitals and cities (170 KB) into every
bundle that can print one: single-file builds inline lazy imports, so the whole page paid for a table
only a reader who prints needs. The tree now serves it beside the boundaries (boundaries/
ne-places.json, one line in generate-tree's copy list; public domain, no credit to carry) and
posterSheets fetches it at the first print, with the boundaries. No asset base, or a failed fetch,
draws no city dots — the generator's own rule for absent data. The Node generator reads the same file
from its source.
Measured: my-upg-100-list 482 -> 432 KB gzipped, country-posters 547 -> 496 KB. check:poster-browser-
equiv still passes byte-identical through makeZoneSheet and generateCountrySheet, which now fetch the
served table — so the fetch path draws the same dots Node does. gates:pre 73/73.
Ten agents read today's branch (five finders, one skeptic per area who had to confirm each finding
against the current code); 21 distinct defects survived. All are fixed here.
Generator and its proof
- generateCountrySheet fed only ADM0, so a country beside India or China printed without their
provinces (Nepal: 251 KB against Node's 921 KB). It loads the full boundary set, as the driver does.
- check:poster-browser-equiv rebuilt its own feed, so it could not see that. It now calls what the
browser calls (makeZoneSheet, generateCountrySheet — Nepal), deletes the target before the Node run,
runs Node with a clean environment, and FAILS (not "not measured") when the Node generator breaks.
Proven two-sided: it fails with the ADM1 fix reverted.
- The facts table's country list sorted in the reader's browser locale; pinned to en-US (Node's
default, so Node's output still hashes to the baseline).
- zone-sheet-print.js imports the library relatively, so bun, Node and the bundler resolve it alike.
Print seams and wiring
- The wall's Poster Map button used its own stored-file fetch and never the generated sheet, so every
country poster 404'd on the published tree; it now prints the generated sheet first.
- Country Posters wall: card stocks passed (its Card Deck could never print), iso3-names passed (zh/ar
page 1 kept English names), the stored fallback reads previews/ (where the tree serves them).
- Card-stock labels render at render time, so a locale change relabels them.
- The records provider caches by language AND list, and does not keep a failed membership load.
- The UPG-100 legend's Card Deck returns quietly on a parent row instead of an evaluator error; the
selection fetch uses PRINT_FIELDS.
Packet
- The centered-set caption counts what is DRAWN (a ring too full to separate reports its remainder).
- Each ring's number lane is sized to its own radius (ring 1 put a dot under its badge).
- Per-box line keeps a decimal below 10 people ("≈ 0" for small lists); worksheet rows name the country;
the localized poster kicker is fitted against the poster's real 19px, not 22.
Plurals and gates
- regions.countryCount / regionCount were authored in English zero|one|other order in de, es, fr, hi, it
and pt, so CLDR picked "27 Land", "1 países". Rewritten in each locale's own order; check:plural-forms
now fails a string in English order (proven on the old German string).
- check:optional-t-equivalence (gates:post) crashed on the new plural fallback's imports; it injects the
real cldrChoiceIndex and asserts the plural path (ru 21/3/5, en 0/1/7).
- check:packets-all and check-packet-render counted people as cards only, so every lightweight packet
read as "a packet of nobody"; worksheet rows count, and the browser gate checks the grid's top fill
(the renamed .lc-frame) instead of the retired scatter. check:packet-variants now reads the grid itself
— 5,200 boxes, Jesus' 1,716 from the top, the % shading from the top — proven: it fails on a renderer
that shades the last boxes.
gates:pre 68/68, check:optional-t-equivalence PASS, both bundles build.
The Driver's print standard: every export is generated when it is asked for, and only previews are
stored. The zone and country map sheets — the poster, and the map-only sheet on a packet's page 1 —
existed only if library/scripts/posters/generate.mjs (Node) had written them ahead of time; no country
had a print-resolution sheet at all.
- library/packet/poster-render.js is generate.mjs's drawing layer (2,645 lines) as a pure factory,
createPosterGenerator({ env, SERIES_DEF, ISO3_NAME, adm0, adm1Ind, adm1Chn, nePlaces, series }). Moved
VERBATIM (template literals carry their whitespace into the output), `process.env` read through a
local shadow; its inputs are its free variables, found by a scope-aware parse, not a grep (a grep
missed adm0, and the proof caught it). generate.mjs is now its Node driver.
- PROVEN BYTE-IDENTICAL: all 118 sheets of a pinned offline matrix — the 28 zones in 3x4, 3x3, letter
and packet, and a country sample at both sheet sizes — hash the same before and after.
- data/zone-sheet.js is which group pins in which zone (first claim wins), now ONE function both the
Node driver and the browser call, so a group cannot pin in one zone on paper and another on screen.
- library/packet/posterSheets.js feeds the factory in the browser: the served full-resolution
boundaries, the shared series and places tables, a generator per call (caching by format pinned the
first caller's data on every later sheet). generateCountrySheet does a country end to end;
data/zone-sheet-print.js a UPG-100 zone. ISO3_NAME moves to library/data (territory-counts re-exports).
- usePosterPrints gains opts.sheet: the poster print is the generated letter sheet as a VECTOR page,
and the packet's page 1 the generated map-only sheet (item.mapId honoured); stored images remain the
fallback when generation fails. PosterWall forwards it; the Country Posters wall, the UPG-100 wall and
the UPG-100 map pass it. The UPG-100 wall and map drop their own record fetches for the shared
provider, and the map's legend and selection HUD offer the card deck (production).
- check:poster-browser-equiv: the browser feed's sheet is byte-identical to the Node generator's for an
India zone (packet) and a country — proven two-sided (it fails when the feed drops the city dots).
check:selection-kinds reads the handler's branches instead of a fixed poster/packet pair, anchored on
`if (` (proven: it fails with the cards branch deleted). library/packet/README.md: the standard.
gates:pre 68/68; both bundles build.
The list kept its own page-1 map lift (packetMapSvg + packetLabelFor) beside the one in
usePosterPrints, and the two drifted: the list's relabelled country names, the wall's did not, which
is the zh finding rega made in the app. With the composable now taking iso3Names, the list passes it
and deletes its copy, so the list, the wall and any other map print page 1 through one path.
The selection packet borrowed one list's sheet when it held exactly one list. That is now a general
seam: item.mapId names the sheet when it is not the item's own id, and mapId: null says the item has
none, so a multi-zone selection fetches nothing and page 1 says the map is missing. Measured two-sided
through the real printPacket. gates:pre 66/66.
The i18n + RTL audit of Country Posters (the hardcoded-English gate only reads production plugins,
so it had never read this one; its scanner was run on the plugin directly and every hit triaged for
reachability, since the country map mounts one tab):
- 9 strings a reader sees were English in every locale: the search placeholder, the packet title's
"— 50 of N", the map-failed message, the wall's heading, tag, intro, soon message and item nouns,
and the view switcher's legend and label. All read from the catalogue now, reusing the existing
keys where they exist (tabs.selectView/views, the UPG-100 wall's tag and emphasis).
- The wall's section headings are the WAGF region labels in the data, English everywhere; they now
resolve through the Regions dashboard's own WAGF table, which gains its two missing regions.
- The three WAGF tier tooltips had no keys in any locale (legend.tabInfo.region/block/country).
- 0 physical-CSS findings.
PosterWall counted "N countries" as a number plus a 2-form noun pair and defaulted the plural to
noun + "s" — wrong for Russian and Arabic whatever strings it was given. It takes itemCountKey, a
plural catalogue key rendered with the count; useOptionalT forwards a plural count to vue-i18n (the
CLDR map picks ru 4 forms, ar 6, zh 1), and a host without i18n picks the English form by
vue-i18n's own rule. The people-group counts on the section heads and placeholder cards use
wall.peopleGroupCount the same way ("people groups" was hardcoded English on the cards).
The UPG-100 wall: its Americas and Europe section headings had no key (single words, invisible to
the gate), and it counts its lists with wall.listCount.
Checked: plural-forms, i18n-parity, keys-exist, never-translated, and i18n-treeshake against both
bundles built (26 bundles carry every area they ask for); gates:pre 66/66.
The list's own print relabelled the map sheet (mapLabels.js); the wall's print, through
usePosterPrints, lifted the sheet with no relabeller, so a zh packet printed from the wall kept
INDIA, CHINA … on page 1. The generator's ISO3 -> name table is plugin data the library cannot
import, so the host now supplies it: PosterWall iso3Names -> usePosterPrints iso3Names, and the
UPG-100 wall passes its territory-counts table lazily. A host that passes nothing prints exactly as
before. Measured two-sided through the real printPacket on a tracked sheet: without the table the
page carries CHINA and no 中国; with it, 中国 and no CHINA.
The map sheets are generated once, in English, so in an Arabic or
Chinese packet page 1's map labelled every country in Latin capitals,
and its privacy line was English.
The labels are now replaced as the sheet is lifted into the packet.
They are recognised by the generator's own rule rather than a list:
generate.mjs draws each label as esc(ISO3_NAME[iso3].toUpperCase())
from the zone data's ISO3_NAME table, so inverting that table under
that transform names the country behind every label it can draw. The
inverse is unambiguous (162 labels, no two countries sharing one), so a
label is known exactly or left as drawn. The map's privacy line is word
for word the packet's privacy_note, so it takes this language's.
A width guard: the generator placed every label and then dropped any
that would collide, measuring the English name, so a translation is
fitted into that same box - estimated wider, it shrinks in proportion
and cannot reach a neighbour the English name did not. On the Sudan
poster, six Arabic names shrink (the longest, Saudi Arabia, from 15px
to 10px); none of the narrower Chinese ones do. Capitals' tracking is
dropped for scripts without capitals, where it breaks Arabic joining.
English is untouched: its relabeller is null, and the lifted sheet is
byte-identical with and without it. No sheet or poster is regenerated -
the change is in the lift, so the tracked 3x4 posters page 1 now uses
are relabelled as they are.
Both print paths supply the relabeller: the UPG 100 profile from its
own ISO3_NAME and the library's country-name resolver, the offline
generator from the same table and the injected ISO-3 to ISO-2 table.
check-map-labels (gates:pre), on the tracked Sudan poster: English
byte-identical; in ar and zh no known English name left, halo matching
fill, privacy localized; the guard fires for Arabic, not Chinese, and
grows nothing; Arabic tracking off, Spanish kept; an unknown label left
alone. Mutation-tested five ways, each caught.
The Deaf zone printed "Deaf (affinity bloc A017)" as its title - on
page 1, at the head of every profile page and in the document's own
title. That is the legend's internal label: the unified Deaf row is an
affinity bloc spanning every region, so there is no country to name it
and zone-title.js declined it, leaving the label to print.
An affinity-bloc zone has a name of its own even though it has no
country. zone-title.js now reads it from the packet strings, keyed by
bloc (zone_affinity_A017: "Deaf people groups", in all eleven
languages), so another affinity bloc a list adds is named with one
string and no code. With no strings it still declines and the label
stays - it never invents a name. Both print paths now pass the
language's strings, English per key, the same fallback the renderer
applies.
check-zone-title-tier-a covers the unified Deaf zone, which it never
saw (it enumerates clusters.json entries, where Deaf is two older
lists): the translated name in en/es/ar, never internal text, and a
decline without strings. It now tests with the real packet strings,
which carry the multi-country joiner, so a broken one-country guard
would generate a title and be caught.
Every packet was titled with its zone's hand-written English label, so
a Spanish Sudan packet said "Sudan" and an Arabic one printed Latin
script on page 1, on every profile page's header and in the document's
own title.
A one-country zone's title is that country's name, and Intl supplies it
in every language: the packets now carry it - Sudán, السودان, सूडान,
苏丹 - through zone-title.js's tier A, on both print paths. Every other
zone keeps its hand-written label, since a region's name is not a list
of its countries (tier B and C are a pending product decision). The
selection packet names its cover the same way.
In the browser the title uses the library's country-name resolver; the
offline generator cannot load that module under Node, so it reads the
ISO-3 to ISO-2 table and injects it, the path zone-title.js was built
for. A data set without zone-title.js keeps its labels.
check:zone-title-tier-a was committed unregistered and so never ran; it
is now in gates:pre. Its comments, and zone-title.js's, no longer cite
people or dates.
Measured all 29 zones in en/es/ar with a real country-name supplier
before wiring anything, and the result split cleanly.
A one-country zone generates a correct title in every locale at zero
translation cost: Sudan / Sudán / السودان.
A multi-country zone generates a title WORSE than the hand-written
label it would replace, in English too, so this was never a
localization trade-off:
"Middle East Core" would become "Iran + Yemen + 11 more"
"Scattered / Diaspora" would become "Andorra + Cocos (Keeling)
Islands + 2 more"
and no maxParts rescues it -- 2, 3, 4, 13 just walks toward a full
13-country enumeration. A multi-country zone has a name that is not a
list of its members, so no assembly of country names can produce it.
The generator is correct; the approach does not fit that tier.
The guard is in zone-title.js, not at the caller, because six product
call sites supply this across three surfaces (the legend three times,
posters, packets). A caller-side test would be repeated six times and
would drift the first time one was missed, silently regressing one
surface while the others stayed right.
Tier B now keeps its label through the same null-means-keep-yours path
tier C already used, so this widens an existing contract rather than
adding a new one.
check-zone-title-tier-a.mjs is two-sided on purpose: a gate that only
checked "the 3 generate" would pass a build that also regressed the
other 26. It asserts the 3 produce non-code titles that differ across
locales, AND that every other entry returns null so its label survives
byte-identical -- by value, not by count, since "26 declined" would
pass even if the wrong 26 declined.
Shown capable of failing four ways: removing the guard (the forbidden
regression), declining tier A too, a supplier returning raw codes, and
a supplier ignoring locale. The third exits 75 NOT MEASURED rather than
failing, because a broken supplier makes every zone decline and would
otherwise look like a clean pass.
FULL DETAIL is four front pages, the profiles, four back pages:
map, triangle, life calendar, % evangelical, profiles,
bounded set, centered set, prayer wheel, 12 prayer points.
LIGHTWEIGHT is two front, the profiles, two back:
map, triangle, profiles, prayer wheel, 12 prayer points.
Both are generated from data, in every packet language, from the
browser and from the offline generator.
PAGE 1 - the map, on a vertical page. One lift for every caller
(packet-render.js liftMap): the browser composable, the UPG 100
profile and the offline generator each carried an identical copy of
the old wrapper (250px down, scale 0.62), and three copies of a layout
decision is how page 1 drifts between print paths. The lift prefers
the map-only vertical sheet (mapSheetFiles: <zone>.packet.html, then
the poster) and places it so its names land on the same 60px margin
every other page keeps; a poster falls back fitted under the title at
0.81 rather than 0.62. The title block is drawn after the map, since a
map-only sheet begins with a full-page background. Anything that is not
a map sheet - an icon-sized <svg> from a host that answers a missing
file with a 200 page - is refused, and page 1 says the map is missing.
Page 1 now states which set it belongs to ("One of 28 UPG 100 prayer
lists"), only when the caller supplies the count.
PAGE 2 - one inverted triangle in the Vision Card's look. The card's
steps are the top (every people group, the unreached, the frontier,
the network's list), narrowing to the UPG 100 packets and, at the tip,
this packet. The card's greens, darkening as it narrows, walked
through its own colour stops; every numeral picks white or ink by the
WCAG ratio (all at least 3.4:1, large bold type). Tier widths are
geometric, not proportional - 2,107, 28 and ~100 against 12,379 would
be hairlines - so where two sets truly nest the caption states the
step removed, and the network's list, which does not sit inside
frontier, gets the card's "N of them are frontier" note instead of a
false subtraction. The packets tier and its count appear only when the
caller supplies one.
BACK PAGES - the bounded and centered sets get a page each at twice the
width, under the one page key, so lightweight drops the pair together.
THE WHEEL - the Metacamp Module 1 prayer wheel: its twelve colours,
sampled from the fill operators in the source PDF's content stream; its
orientation, the opening PRAISE at nine o'clock and READ THE WORD at
twelve; white labels with a shadow and a faint outline, so a print
path that drops SVG filters still leaves them legible on the palest
segments; "5 minutes" badges; the attribution with the website. The
labels stay the packet's own rhythm names, translated in every
language and matching the 12 points page.
The offline generator makes both packets (PACKET_VARIANT=lightweight;
the full packet keeps its names, lightweight is <zone>.lightweight and
stamped with its variant).
STRINGS: four new keys, in all eleven blocks - each block's own words
for "packet" and "prayer list", the frontier note aligned to the word
the frontier tier uses on the same page.
GATES: check-packet-a1-structure (registered in gates:pre) reads every
sheet's CONTENT for the order of both variants, page 1's lift in all
four cases, the triangle's tiers and steps, the wheel's colours and
orientation, and all 28 zones. Mutation-tested eleven ways, each caught
by its own message. check-packet-variants now asserts both sets pages
and a four-sheet difference. The browser gate check-packet-render
counted funnel rows and bars by inline-style substrings, which an SVG
triangle has none of - both would have read zero and passed - so it
now counts .funnel-n against .funnel-tier, its sheet arithmetic counts
the sets pages, and its Latin allowlist carries the renamed product
name. check-packet-browser used a copy of the old wrapper; it now uses
the product's lift.
The legend offers 28 zones; every place that turned a picked id back
into a zone spread clusters.json's three geographic buckets, which is
27. The missing one is Deaf, whose two deaf lists the legend collapses
into a single affinity-bloc row. So in the browser, silently:
- the Prayer packet for Deaf returned on "if (!zone) return";
- the Deaf poster titled itself by its slug;
- a selection containing Deaf dropped it in .filter(Boolean);
- the packet count read 27 while 28 packets exist, and that count
prints on page 1 and at the tip of page 2's triangle.
The packet fetch also lacked rop1, the field the Deaf selector reads,
so even a found Deaf zone would have resolved to nobody.
The fix is one enumeration. legend-tree.js now exports DEAF_SELECTOR
(the unified row's selector, which exists nowhere in clusters.json) and
zonesWithSelectors(clusters): the legend's leaves with their selectors
attached. The plugin's printableZones() keeps the 27 catalogue objects
exactly as they were and adds only what the catalogue lacks, so the
packet, poster, selection and count all see the same 28. rop1 joins
both packet fetches.
The three hand-typed copies of the Deaf literal (the map, the poster
generator, the offline packet generator) now import the one
definition; the offline generator's own id-to-selector table is
replaced by zonesWithSelectors. The copies left are frozen snapshots and
proof scripts, which keep independent literals on purpose.
The offline sweep gate's coverage had the same 27: it never required a
Deaf packet. It now counts through the legend.
Verified: the live API carries exactly 123 A017 rows, matching the
legend's Deaf count; the default 3x4 posters for sudan, kerala, deaf
and west-africa are byte-identical before and after.
Project 7000, 4700, 2000 and 700 each need their own clusters of about
100 groups, and the next one should be built by following a pattern
rather than by copying this plugin.
The document separates two halves that turn out to be independent:
which GROUPS are in the list (library/lists/, shared, already built and
gated by check-list-prop-unit) and which ZONES they are cut into (this
plugin's data/clusters.json). A new list needs the second half only if
it wants its own territories.
Measured rather than described:
28 leaf zones from 29 clusters.json entries -- the two deaf buckets
collapse into one leaf. Never count zones from the buckets; ask
leafZones(buildLegendNodes(...)), which is the one answer poster,
packet and legend all agree on. Counting by hand produced 27 once
(forgetting deaf) and a delete of 30 files another time.
5 registry lists, all present, with the membership counts they
actually have (unreached 2082, unengaged 1929, frontier 1745,
frontier-500k 71). doxa has no membership file, correctly: it is the
unfiltered default.
7 selector types, and which type a zone uses IS the statement of how
it was zoned -- from wagf_block (pure geography) through to an
explicit pg_slugs roster. The 12 pg_slugs zones are the honest case,
not the lazy one: below country level there is no ADM1 field to select
by, so a rule would be a fiction that looks principled.
The deaf poster stays recorded as the known exception. It is global and
non-geographic by construction, the Driver has not solved it and said
so, and the pattern says that rather than inventing a zoning.
check-list-pattern-doc.mjs re-derives every number from clusters.json,
lists.json and the membership files and compares them to the document's
own text. Neither side is hardcoded twice, so it fails in both
directions: a doc that drifts, and data that moves while the doc sits
still.
Shown capable of failing, five ways: leaf count 28->27, a membership
count, a selector count, and a real new zone (which trips three claims
at once). The fifth is the useful one -- malformed data now exits 75,
NOT MEASURED, because an uncaught throw exits 1 and would read exactly
like the document being wrong. Found by mutation-testing; the first
draft crashed with a stack trace I would have mistaken for a pass at
catching drift.
Also fixed in the harness: the registry-id parser matched any backticked
lowercase table cell and read the selector table's `union` as an unknown
list -- a false failure against a correct doc. Each table is now parsed
from its own section.
Diffing what the lightweight packet ACTUALLY prints on each path against
its card (map, triangle, profiles, wheel, points) found the wall path
missing two pages and half of a third -- while the legend path matched.
Same class as the sets page: the renderer could draw every page, and
only one of the two hosts supplied the arguments.
Three gaps, three suppliers:
The map. printPacketAs passed no mapSvg and there was no default, so a
wall-printed packet opened on a title-only cover. printPacket now lifts
the bundle's own poster (posters/<id>.html, the same file printPoster
already reads) when the host passes nothing -- via a liftPosterSvg
helper shaped for unit-testing against a real generated poster, no
fetch. Verified on laos: the svg is found and lifted. And PosterWall now
actually passes assetsBase into its print opts; without that one line
the lift's guard would skip silently and the wall would STILL print a
mapless packet -- the seam-without-supplier failure one layer down,
caught in the same pass.
The triangle. No funnel was supplied and none defaulted. The default
states ONLY the steps: listCount and unassigned stay absent, so
funnelPage omits the share line and the tip rather than printing a
denominator that is wrong under a non-default list. Proved two-sided:
steps-only renders the triangle with no share claims; adding listCount
renders both.
The profiles. The wall's fetch carried primary_language but not
imb_gsec, so every wall-printed description ran at half length -- the
third fetch site with the same missing-field defect, found the same way.
setsPage landed as a renderer capability with no data supplier: it
returns '' without data -- correctly -- which meant the FULL-DETAIL
packet had never once printed its distinguishing back page in real use.
The full-vs-lightweight split existed in code while the full packet was
missing the page that makes it full.
packetSets.js is the supplier: a pure decode+join with zero imports, so
the identical function runs under Node (the generator reads the table
from disk) and under Vite (the browser fetches it) and the join cannot
fork between the two. The table stays with the caller -- the same seam
as strings, christian and describe.
The join is measured, not assumed: 2,091 of 2,107 groups match by slug,
rings distribute 1-10 with real shape, and the 16 unmatched are inked as
UNKNOWN on the bounded figure rather than guessed onto a side --
an un-inked category reads as zero on paper.
Wired at every path that prints a packet: the offline generator (all 28
zones verified carrying the page, e.g. laos: 0 inside, 94 outside, 1
unknown; 94 placed with "25 same dialect, same people"), the legend
Export menu, the poster wall, and the selection packet -- the last three
through one opts.sets loader fetching the SAME served asset-pool copy
the generator reads, so an embedded bundle prints the same page as the
dev tree.
The decode is a third reading of near-neighbors.json's cols/dict format
(nearRows.js documents being a copy of upg-neighbor's, pending promotion
to library/). Flagged in the header rather than hidden: when the loader
is promoted, the decode here collapses into it and only the join
remains.
The generator could already serve a second group set -- series.json's
country series proves it -- but only one wired into series.json, reading
upg100's bucketed clusters, upg100's legend tree for enumeration, and the
shared records cache. A fork had no way in.
The contract is now one folder. DATA_DIR points at it; clusters.json with
a flat lists[] is the group set; records.json in the same folder means no
API and no cache; selector-evaluator.js resolves from there, as it always
did. normalize.js and legend-tree.js become optional -- absent, records
are used as-is and the flat file IS the enumeration -- and the absence is
logged rather than silent, because a silent fallback would let a typo'd
normalize.js skip normalization on the real series. PACKET_OUT keeps a
fork's output away from the real artifact directory, where toy packets
would be counted as coverage.
unlisted: true carries upg100's reachability idea across as data: the
list is defined and selectable with ONLY=, and not generated by default.
The bucketed shape keeps its legend-tree enumeration untouched, so the
deaf collapse and the 28-zone arithmetic are byte-for-byte unchanged.
The smoke test was written first and failed first, on all four counts.
Its fixture is synthetic -- every slug and number invented -- and it
asserts the unlisted list does NOT generate, which is as load-bearing as
the two that do: an unlisted entry that generates anyway is the
reachability bug inverted.
One bug found in my own work while proving it: allZones became async, and
the funnel's listCount read it from inside a try/catch that returns null
on error -- so a use-before-init did not crash, it silently deleted the
triangle from all 28 packets. Caught because a probe for the tip's "1 of
28" found nothing, not because anything failed. Resolved once, before
the funnel is built; regenerated and verified -- funnel present, tip
reads 1 of 28, 95 photos, 11 sheets.
Round 2 item 6. The control was already built in PosterWall -- state,
persistence, grid binding, markup -- and gated behind an opt-in prop that
only the regions dashboard passed. So most of this is enabling it rather
than writing it, which is what "reuse the pattern, don't re-derive" asked
for. I checked that before building anything, because the last time I
added a feature without checking which surface already had it, it landed
somewhere nobody looks.
Auto is genuinely new: the choices were 2 to 5, always forcing a count,
and the brief asks for Auto meaning today's CSS with overrides on top.
gridStyle already returned {} for a non-positive value -- the comment at
that line even says so -- so Auto needed no new layout branch. It needed
to become REACHABLE: a 0 in the choice list, a label, a read path and a
write path. It extends the earlier min-2/max-5/default-2 ruling rather
than contradicting it, since those bound the counts and Auto is the option
that declines to pick one.
Round-tripping the storage values, rather than reading the code, caught a
bug I had just written: getItem returns null when nothing is stored, and
Number(null) is 0 -- which is exactly Auto now that 0 means something. So
every first-time reader would have silently got Auto instead of the
default, and merely ADDING an option would have changed the layout for
everyone who never touched the control. A missing key now returns null and
falls back to the default; a stored 0 reads as Auto.
Auto is also persisted, which needed its own clause: the range check
rejects 0, so without it the one value that is not a count would be the
one value that never survived a reload. A preference that forgets only
some of its values is worse than one that forgets all of them, because the
reader cannot tell it is broken.
A window key holding a closure pins the whole app after unmount -- the
component, its shadow root, and everything they reference, measured at
roughly 10 MB per mount. The three test handles here each close over live
state (the search index, the map, the selection), so each one is a full
retention path.
SIX GLOBALS, NOT THREE. The check names the three it can see, but each
named handle has a paired per-instance registry --
__UPG_SEARCH__/__UPG_SEARCHES__, __UPG_MAP__/__UPG_MAPS__,
__UPG_SELECT__/__UPG_SELECTS__. Releasing only the named half leaves the
registry holding the same closure, so the leak survives in the copy nobody
was looking at.
The two halves need opposite handling, which is why this is not one loop.
A named handle is a single slot that the last mount overwrites, so
deleting it blindly would strip a LIVE sibling's handle -- it is cleared
only if it is still the object this instance published, captured at
assignment so it cannot drift from what went out. A registry entry is
keyed by instance, so my key is always mine to delete, and deleting the
whole registry would strip the siblings.
Verified against the two-instance case rather than the single-mount one:
A mounts, B mounts and takes the named slot, A unmounts -- B keeps its
handle and its registry entry, and after both unmount nothing is
retained.
One delete per line, deliberately: the check reads these statements, so a
loop over a key list would release correctly and still be reported as a
leak. The whole block is wrapped because a frozen or cross-origin window
must never break teardown.
The Prayer-list dropdown went into PosterWall's per-card print row. The
profile people open -- upg-100-list -- does not render PosterWall at all;
its print path is the legend's Export menu, which still offered two items
and printed immediately. So the feature was built, landed and served, and
invisible on the only screen it was asked for.
Two surfaces legitimately offer printing and both carry a button labelled
Prayer list, so the label was not enough to tell them apart. The grep that
would have caught it -- does this profile mount that component -- takes
five seconds and I never ran it.
The legend's packet item is now a disclosure: it is named UPG 100, it
explains what a UPG 100 list is, and it reveals Full detail and
Lightweight. The explainer matters because this menu item is the only
place a reader meets the idea, so it wraps rather than truncates.
The submenu opens BELOW its trigger by construction, not by positioning:
the menu is a flex column, so a block after the button flows underneath
it. A panel that grows its parent cannot cover its parent -- which is
exactly what the card-deck row could do, hanging out of its card at
top:100% with nowhere to go on a short viewport.
emitExport widens its existing string to packet:full / packet:lightweight
rather than adding a second event; poster and a bare packet still work, so
an older consumer keeps working and one event means nobody can handle only
half the menu. printPrayerPacket takes the variant and forwards it to
printPacket, which already accepts it.
UPG 100 is allowed to be identical in all eleven locales, recorded in
check:i18n-never-translated as a brand name rather than as debt: it is not
waiting on a ruling, it IS the ruling, and the explainer beside it carries
the meaning per locale. Inventing eleven names for one product would be
the failure that gate exists to prevent.
Found by the bug-CLASS sweep, which is the point of doing one: the busy
indicator was added to the selection HUD after a report that pressing its
buttons showed no sign of work, and the legend's Export menu -- Poster and
Packet -- had none at all. Same defect, different surface, and I fixed the
reported instance without looking for its siblings.
Both do the same slow work: two dynamic imports, a map-SVG fetch, a funnel
fetch, then a multi-sheet render. onLegendExport now guards re-entry (a
second click would run two renders over one print frame), sets busyAction
so the control says what it is doing, and clears in finally on every exit
path including the early return inside the try.
The gate's busy assertion had two holes that let this through, and both
are fixed. It counted setters by matching the literal strings 'packet' and
'poster', so a ternary assignment was invisible -- a regex that enumerates
the shapes it knows about will always miss the next one, so it now matches
the assignment and excludes the clear. And it only asserted a whole-file
count, which "some handler somewhere sets it" satisfies; it now asserts
PER FUNCTION for all three print paths, so a surface cannot be forgotten
while the file as a whole looks fine.
Mutation-tested: removing the busy handling from onLegendExport now fails
naming that function, and dropping a finally fails naming its own.
Also drops a stale "page 3" from a shipped CSS comment -- page order is
variant-dependent since lightweight started omitting two sheets, so a
fixed page number in the output is wrong even where no reader sees it.
Per the 17:25Z rule: no quotes, no citations and no transcript references
in strings, commits or code. Studio had to strip these from two of my
commit messages during L64, which is a sign I should be doing it at the
source rather than leaving it to whoever lands the work.
Nine sites across five files, all of them lines I added. The engineering
content is unchanged -- what goes is the attribution, not the reasoning.
"A disabled button is visually indistinguishable from an unresponsive one"
is the durable fact; who observed it is provenance a later reader cannot
verify and that ties shipped code to a private transcript.
Where a decision is genuinely still open I keep the tracking reference
("still open, tracked as row 89") but not the speaker, because a reader
hitting that comment needs to know the value may change and where the
answer will come from.
Scope is deliberately my own unlanded additions. packet-render.js,
PosterWall.vue and upg-100-list.vue carry many more such comments from
before the rule; those are not mine and a fleet-wide sweep is a separate
decision. Flagged rather than silently rewritten.
All seven gates green after the edit, including the two whose own header
text changed.
My scripted migration inserted the import behind a guard that silently did not fire:
`if 'defineMapElement' not in s.split('function')[0]` became false as soon as the
inserted CALL appeared before the first `function` keyword — so the files that most
needed the import were exactly the ones that did not get it. 11 of 16.
Every one of those elements would have thrown "defineMapElement is not defined" on
load. A bundler does not error on a free identifier; only loading does. studio caught it
in L64 via landing-preconditions, which imports each profile, and fixed it there
(37f75601) plus added an arm to check:element-bootstrap.
This repairs the same 11 on this branch so it is not a landmine if it lands after L64,
and it is byte-equivalent to studio's fix in effect. Verified by PARSING each entry and
resolving the identifier against its import bindings — 16 of 16 bound — rather than by
re-running the kind of regex that wrote the bug.
The element-bootstrap migration called defineMapElement in eleven entry files that never
imported it. A build does not fail on an unbound name; the element does, the moment it loads,
with 'defineMapElement is not defined'. The landing precondition caught it by importing each
profile. check:element-bootstrap now fails when an entry calls the helper without importing it.
On mobile, selecting countries and pressing Prayer list reported zero UPGs and would not generate a prayer list.
selectedTerritories holds three kinds -- 'zone' (a legend row), 'adm0' (a
country tapped on the map) and 'adm1' (an India state / China province) --
and selectedLists() kept only 'zone'. So a map selection resolved to an
empty list and selectionAsList threw "nothing selected", while the HUD,
which sums t.count straight off the selection, showed a correct non-zero
total. Two sources of truth for one selection is why it read as a nonsense
error rather than an empty state: the app said 87 and the generator said
zero.
The adm0 key already carries the ISO3, which IS country_code on a
people-group row, so a tapped country becomes a country_codes selector the
evaluator already handles. No new selector type, and a mixed selection
unions and de-duplicates for free. The cover label now names the countries
too -- built from lists alone it was empty, and reduce() on an empty array
throws, so the packet would have died on its cover even after the selector
was fixed.
adm1 cannot resolve and that is a data fact, not an oversight: a
people-group row has no province field and the evaluator has no adm1 case.
Folding it into the country union would print a packet for the whole
COUNTRY while the reader had selected one STATE -- a plausible packet that
is quietly wrong. So it is refused BY NAME, which "nothing selected" was
not: that is a lie the reader can see is false with their selection
highlighted on the map.
Also, nothing showed that the action was running: batchBusy only
DISABLED the buttons, and a disabled button is visually indistinguishable
from an unresponsive one, so on a phone you tap, see nothing change, and
tap again. busyAction names which action is running so only that button
relabels, and it is cleared in every finally -- otherwise a failed print
leaves the button reading "Working..." forever.
check-selection-kinds.mjs reads the kinds OUT of resolveTerritory rather
than listing them, because listing them is how this survived: 'adm0'
existed in the resolver and nowhere in the consumer, and a test written
from the same mental list as the consumer would have missed it too.
Mutation-tested: reverting the guard, dropping the selector, and leaving
busyAction uncleared each fail with their own message.
Goal (c), and it turned into a goal (d) fix. Every profile element is
defineCustomElement(ProfileLoader, { configureApp }), and the configureApp has four
steps. The fourth, app.provide('appI18n', i18n), is the one that gets dropped.
ProfileLoader injects that instance (ProfileLoader.vue:176) to drive its locale from
profile-config. Without the provide the watcher holds null and the drive NEVER RUNS --
while setRuntimeLocale() on the next line still fires, so tStatic strings DO follow the
host. The element renders a convincing MIXTURE of the reader's language and English, and
nothing throws, because the t() shim falls back to its key. It reads as "a few strings
not translated yet".
SHIPPING THAT TODAY: country-posters, key-cities, gospel-resources, cities-internet and
my-upg-100-list. regions-plugin censused all 19 entry files independently and found the
same five and no sixth. The measurement is regions-dashboard's, from when they hit it:
a Spanish catalogue present, es set, and every t() string still English.
All sixteen entries now call library/elements/defineMapElement.js, so the five are fixed
by construction rather than by five separate edits. Behaviour is otherwise identical --
same options, same element names, same per-plugin extras. wall-of-people-groups needed
the helper to hand its pinia back, because it takes a store off its own instance and a
helper that hid pinia would have given it a second one: two stores and a silent state
split.
★ AND THE CENSUS THAT RECOMMENDED THIS SAW FOUR OF SIXTEEN. My detector hashed function
BODIES; eleven sites are not `function buildXElement()` at all, they are
`const El = defineCustomElement(...)`. I wrote "every number here is a lower bound" in
the census as a caveat and it was the headline within the hour -- a 4x undercount of the
item it recommended. So this gate greps for the SHAPE, not for a known list: a check
written around the four that matched would have passed the twelve that did not.
check-element-bootstrap has two arms. No entry may build a profile element by hand, and
the helper itself must provide appI18n -- PLANTED as a negative case, so the regression
cannot return by editing library instead of a plugin. It also fails if it finds fewer
than ten entries, because a detection that stops matching reports the same green as a
tree with no problems.
THE PLANT CAUGHT TWO BUGS IN THIS GATE BEFORE IT CAUGHT ANYTHING ELSE. The predicate
matched the helper's DOCSTRING, so it would have passed a helper that only mentions the
provide in prose -- comments are stripped now, because a check that reads comments is
reading the author's intentions rather than the program. And the plant itself used /m
instead of /gm, so it deleted the documentation and left the code, then reported that it
could not detect an absence that was not there.
Goal (c), and it turned into a goal (d) fix. Every profile element is

The API returns imb_gsec as { value:'1', label:'…' }. It was missing from
NESTED_FIELDS, so describeGroup did Number({value:'1'}) -> NaN, the level
never matched, and the reachedness sentence was dropped for every group --
silently, because dropping a clause is the deliberate design for a missing
field. Every profile description shipped at half length.
Measured through the real normalizer and real catalogue: nested -> one
sentence, flattened -> two.
GOSPEL'S LEGEND RENDERS IN THE BROWSER and needs these zones at runtime; a
build-time import path would not reach the bundle. data/tables/ is the pool the
tree copies into public/dx-maps/assets/tables/, which is how near-neighbors.json
already reaches a browser, so this makes the zone data a single source the same
way (dx-shepherd, 2026-09-28).
admin-to-list.json deliberately does NOT move: it waits on the Driver's row 87,
the "zones fold" regeneration.
★ TWO ROOTS IN internal/check-list-selection.mjs, NOT ONE. Its readJson helper
reads all three files through a single DATA constant, and only two moved.
Collapsing them to one root silently breaks whichever file is not where you
pointed — so the helper now routes admin-to-list.json to the plugin dir and the
other two to data/tables/, with the reason in the comment.
★ THE ASSET-POOL COPY IS MANUAL, AND IT HAS ALREADY DRIFTED. There is no
automated copier: `git grep` finds no rule in vite.config.js or internal/ that
writes public/dx-maps/assets/tables/, and exp's rings note says the same ("only
the tree copies tables"). Measured before copying: data/tables has 309 json
files, the asset pool 304 — and the five missing were groupings.json,
zone-regions.json AND THREE THAT PREDATE THIS COMMIT (index.json,
open-doors.json, platform-reachability.json). So these two would have joined an
existing gap rather than created one. Both are copied here and verified with
cmp; the other three are reported separately, not silently fixed in a move
commit.
Paths verified to resolve, not assumed: P(GROUPINGS) and the REGIONS join both
resolve to existing files. Gates green after the move: check:list-selection,
check:selector-fields, check:describe-group, region-hue-proof.
zone-regions.json was missing madhya-pradesh, uttarakhand and west-bengal. All
three are in clusters.json AND groupings.json — printable, grouped zones with no
region — so their groups reached a reader only through the vertical legend's
unassigned bucket, which is honest but wrong for a list picker.
★ THE FOUR NAMES IN THE REPORT WERE NOT ZONE IDS, and following them literally
would have created rows that match nothing. The report said guizhou, xinjiang,
bihar, madhya-pradesh; the canonical ids are fully qualified
(asia-china-guizhou-province, asia-india-madhya-pradesh, …), and the bare
`bihar` that exists is an admin-to-list.json KEY whose value IS the zone id.
Only ONE of the four (madhya-pradesh) was a zone at all; the other three are
absent from clusters.json and go to the zone-universe card as a product
question, not a data edit.
★ AND THE REPORTED SET WAS INCOMPLETE. Checking the PROPERTY — which printable
zones lack a region — rather than the four names found uttarakhand and
west-bengal by the identical two-file test. Second time today an enumeration
handed over was short: the wagf fetch was 6 reported / 8 real. regions-plugin's
gap number could never have contained these, because it is admin-to-list VALUES
minus zone-regions KEYS and none of them is an admin-to-list value — their
output now states it is a lower bound.
deaf-old-world and deaf-new-world-asia-pacific stay unfiled by design: the
"deaf": "exempt" umbrella key covers them (dx-shepherd).
Lands ATOMICALLY with regions' f3c050ae, which updates the pinned gap to
[guizhou, xinjiang, bihar] and asserts these three STAY filed — filing is as
revertible as any data edit. Verified the pair before sending: their gate
against this data exits 0.
Completes the i18n card. L58 landed the four keys the first spec was missing.
poster.region_india / region_other — all SEVEN poster-wall headings now
translate. The first key spec had five because check:hardcoded-english reported
five: its header states it cannot see SINGLE-WORD strings, and 'India' and
'Other' are single words. That is the gate's own documented blind spot, not an
oversight in the spec, and it is why a green run is not "no English".
messages.bandInRange / bandOutOfRange — the band ternary was
`'✓ 50–100 band' : 'band 50–100'`. TWO keys rather than a ternary over one,
because these are two STATES of one label: a locale may not phrase "in range"
and "out of range" as a tick plus the same words. The ✓ lives in the catalogue
string so a locale can drop it.
check:hardcoded-english on my two files now reports only REGION_OF's values,
which are grouping IDENTITY by design — regionLabel() translates them at render
while the map keeps English keys, so the grouping cannot re-key per locale.
MEASURED, not inferred. The packet fetch requested
slug,name,country_code,population,religion,image_url(+language,gsec) while SIX
of the 27 printable zones select on wagf fields it never asked for:
west-africa, east-africa, central-africa wagf_block
europe wagf_region
southern-africa-islands union of two wagf_block
oceania-indonesia union of wagf_region + country_code
Proved with the real evaluator: a wagf_block selector returns 0 members on
packet rows and 1 on map rows. So those packets resolved to nobody and printed
empty — while the SAME selectors resolved correctly on the map, whose fetch
(:1988) has carried wagf_region,wagf_block all along. One file, two fetches,
two different field sets, and only one of them agreed with the data.
★ oceania-indonesia IS THE DANGEROUS ONE. Its union still matched country_code
IDN, so it did not print empty — it printed a PLAUSIBLE packet silently missing
every Oceania group. An empty packet is noticed on the first page; a packet
that is quietly 40% short is not. Same shape as the 514-of-1009 join gospel
measured today: a result that returns HALF looks like a smaller dataset, while
one that returns NOTHING gets caught immediately.
Verified after the fix: west-africa resolves its wagf_block row, and
oceania-indonesia now finds BOTH branches rather than only IDN.
Found while answering dx-shepherd's question about 9 selectorless zones. Those
9 turned out not to be in clusters.json at all — they are grouping/colour keys
in zone-regions.json and groupings.json, so no packet can be asked to print
them. All 27 zones that ARE printable have selectors; the defect was never a
missing selector, it was a missing FIELD.
TWO PREPARATIONS FOR THE GENERATED PROFILE DESCRIPTION (Driver brief A1.5 col 2).
1. THE FETCH. Both packet fetch sites (:1363, :1588) requested
slug,name,country_code,population,religion,image_url. describeGroup needs the
language and a reachedness level, so primary_language and imb_gsec are added.
Both are existing API fields — poster-wall:171 already fetches primary_language
and sources.json:43 lists imb_gsec — so this adds no new API surface. Verified
they survive normalizeRecords, which is non-destructive ({...raw}).
GSEC and not EvangelicalLevel because GSEC is a NUMBER. EvangelicalLevel is
English prose from the API ("2% or Greater but Less than 5%"), so interpolating
it would leave every non-English packet half-English in its widest column. sr
measured both across 12,379 rows; I re-derived the GSEC distribution
independently (266/6573/269/199/1839/1428/1805) and confirmed that no GSEC
description mentions 0.1%, which is why "frontier" cannot be said from this
field and the wording stops at the 2% line the funnel page already states.
2. REGION IDS FOLD DIACRITICS. legend-tree.js built an id with
.toLowerCase().replace(/[^a-z0-9]+/g,'-'), which DELETES a combining mark rather
than folding it: Gujarāt became 'region-gujar-t', a different id from
'region-gujarat'. Nothing is broken today — the labels are regionFor()'s fixed
ASCII set and nothing joins on the id — but the brief's whole point is that a
fork brings its own set and names its own regions, and the first accented label
would split one region in two with no error and no empty state.
Same class gospel measured joining admin-to-list.json: a naive fold matched 514
of 1009 rows and lost THREE whole zones while every surviving zone still looked
populated. A join that returns half is more dangerous than one that returns
nothing. Fixed at the fold, not by enumerating the spellings we know.
Verified behaviour-preserving: Africa -> region-africa unchanged, and Gujarāt
and Gujarat now produce the same id.
Ten strings that rendered to a reader in English whatever locale they chose.
Found by check:hardcoded-english; keys landed by studio L56.
STATUS OVERLAY (renders in .upg-status): noMapboxToken, loadingBoundaries (one
key, both call sites), fetchingUupgs {n}, mapStatusCounts {polys}{zones}{total}
{pins}. The "⚠ " prefix stays in the template, per the key spec. :2084 right
beside these was ALREADY t('messages.engineNotLoaded') — this makes the
neighbours consistent with it rather than introducing a new pattern.
MAP ERROR: noMapboxTokenDetail. It renders immediately after a translated
<strong>, so English sat literally adjacent to localized text.
LEGEND TABS: bound, not added — tabs.upg100Region / upg100Zone and
legend.tabInfo.* already existed in all 11 with exactly this text. ★ LEGEND_TABS
becomes a COMPUTED: t() is destructured at :391, BELOW the old const, so a plain
array could not call it; and even hoisted it would freeze the labels at the
locale active when the module evaluated. The host switches language at runtime,
so the labels have to re-evaluate on access. Both consumers are in the template,
where a ref auto-unwraps, so the call sites are unchanged.
THE PLURAL, deliberately a LABEL form: territor{{ n === 1 ? 'y' : 'ies' }} ->
t('messages.territoriesSelected', { count }). I had proposed a vue-i18n plural
key; studio was right that it would be worse, and I tested it — with no
pluralRules registered, v9 applies an English-shaped choice (count===1 ? 0 : 1)
to EVERY locale, so ru with 3 forms supplied picks wrong at 1, 2 and 21.
Confidently wrong grammar that LOOKS translated is worse than honest English.
POSTER-WALL headings translate at render; REGION_OF keeps its English values as
grouping identity (studio's split). ⚠ TWO OF THE SEVEN HEADINGS HAVE NO KEY:
'India' and 'Other'. The gate reported five because its header states it cannot
see single-word strings — this is that documented blind spot materialising, not
an oversight in the spec. They fall through to English text (never a raw key)
until poster.region_india / region_other exist; raised with studio.
Bundle rebuilt + fix:sri. The manifest churn is the same old->new hash for this
bundle; doxa-maps-spa's manifest changes only because it references it.
studio landed data-control on the map controls (L54 3ed7d8d0c), so the gate can
name a control by untranslatable identity instead of its displayed text. Each
wrapper writes data-control="zoom-in|zoom-out|fullscreen|theme|…" onto
MapControlButton; it is not a declared prop, so it falls through onto the
rendered <button>.
REMOVES A CROSS-OWNERSHIP DEPENDENCY. Check (4) resolved its expected strings out
of library/i18n/locales/en/buttons.json — locale-correct, but it made a check in
MY gate depend on a key name in STUDIO's catalogue, so a rename there would have
failed a test here. data-control removes that coupling entirely.
THE THEME BUTTON GAINS THE MOST, and it had two more sites I had not fixed:
:488 (check 5's toggle) and :1502 (17b cold-load) both matched
[title^="Switch to"]. That title is LOCALIZED and DYNAMIC ("Switch to dark" /
"Switch to light"), so no i18n key ever resolved it and a prefix match on English
prose was the only option. All three sites now use data-control="theme", and the
`theme === 1` assertion finally means what it says.
Zero English-literal attribute selectors remain in the gate; every control query
is now a class or data-control. The one surviving `[title="…"]` string is inside
a comment recording why the pattern was abandoned.
fc93847bb ("Batch selection builds a packet, instead of recolouring regions")
replaced copy-to-clipboard with packet-building and left four pieces behind: the
button's handler, its execCommand fallback, the window global they wrote, and the
gate check that read it. This removes all four.
copySelection had exactly ONE reference in the file — its own definition — and
legacyCopy was called only from it, so both were unreachable. The minifier was
already dropping them: __UPG_LAST_CLIPBOARD__, which copySelection set
unconditionally, appears 0 times in the built bundle.
THE GATE HALF MATTERED MORE. visual-gate check (15) asserted the Copy payload,
guarding on .upg-hud-btn.copy existing — a button that no longer exists. But the
guard skipped only the MEASUREMENT: copyOk was initialised false and check() ran
unconditionally, so it reported FAIL ("no .upg-hud-btn.copy in HUD") on every run
since the button went. A permanently red assertion for a deliberately deleted
feature teaches readers to ignore red, which is worse than no check at all.
formatClipboard SURVIVES — 3 references, and one is live: __UPG_SELECT__
.clipboardText, the headless probe surface the gate still uses. Deleting the
"clipboard code" wholesale would have broken it.
Also corrects the D-8 comment, which still named "Copy + Clear" as the HUD
buttons; they are Prayer List / Poster Map / Clear.
VERIFIED BY THE BUILD NOT MOVING: rebuilt after deleting 43 lines of source and
the bundle is byte-identical to its parent (sha 3dda630d5cf5e647, 992356 bytes).
That is the test of the claim — if the output had changed, the code was not dead.
