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.

People-group lists
Every map shows people groups. The list decides which ones, and it is a universal prop like the engine, the locale and the token: the same map can show any project's list, and the choice is made the same way everywhere.
Choosing a list
First answer wins (peopleGroupList.js):
profile-configlist: this embed, decided by whoever mounted the element;?list=in the page URL: any generated leaf can be switched from the URL;window.MAP_LIST: a host global, for a host that sets it programmatically;doxa, the default: today's behaviour, nothing fetched and nothing filtered.
An id or an alias (700, project-700) is accepted. Anything unknown falls back to the default and
says so once in the console.
The registry: lists.json
Each list is a filter, never a hand-kept roster:
| id | Label | Source | Definition | Count when measured |
|---|---|---|---|---|
doxa |
Project 2000: DOXA's people groups | the DOXA API | DOXA's live list | 2,107 |
unreached |
Project 7000 | IMB | Lostness Priority 0–2 (under 2% evangelical) | 7,341 |
frontier |
Project 4700 | IMB | Lostness Priority 0 (0.1% evangelical or less) | 4,754 |
frontier-500k |
Project 700 | IMB | frontier, population 500,000 or more | 737 |
unengaged |
Unengaged unreached | IMB | Lostness Priority 0–2 and unengaged |
Counts are from the IMB file of 2026-08-02 and the DOXA API of 2026-09-26; they move when either
source is refreshed. Labels here are the English fallback: every locale's label and definition live
in library/i18n/locales/<lc>/lists.json (read them with listLabel / listDefinition), and
check:list-prop-unit fails if the English catalogue and this registry disagree.
Membership is built, not computed in the browser. library/scripts/people-groups/build-lists.mjs
writes data/people-groups/lists/<id>.json for each non-default list (the member keys, plus what a
map draws for IMB rows), and the tree serves them from its asset pool.
How a map honours a list: two tiers
Tier A: narrowing DOXA's rows. Rows keep coming from the DOXA API, because that is where the
prayer fields live (praying, adopted, committed, the prayer link). applyPeopleGroupList() keeps the
rows whose slug belongs to the list. So under Project 700 a map shows the DOXA groups that are
Project 700 groups, and every map that loads through the library follows with no plugin change.
It fails closed: if a non-default list's membership cannot be loaded, the map gets no rows and the console names the list and the URL. A map that silently showed all 2,107 while an embed asked for Project 700 would be showing the wrong list with no sign of it.
Tier B: IMB rows. A list's groups that DOXA does not carry exist only in the IMB data, without
DOXA's prayer fields. A map that shows them must either hide those layers and figures or join them
where a DOXA row exists (1,745 of the 4,754 frontier groups are DOXA groups; inside DOXA's 2,107,
1,753 are frontier). This is per-map work. all-people-groups already draws the whole IMB set, so a
list there is Tier B by nature.
The data
- IMB / peoplegroups.org:
data/people-groups/people_groups.csv, 12,379 rows, one per people group per country (not distinct groups). A public download with no key or account; the attribution line is "People group data: peoplegroups.org". - DOXA API:
GET /api/people-groups/listreturns DOXA's active list (2,107) whatever filter is passed, so every list beyond DOXA's comes from the IMB file. - The funnel (the vision card, and page 2 of a prayer packet) is generated from the same two
sources by
library/scripts/people-groups/build-vision-funnel.mjs; its rules are inplugin-designs/doxa-vision-card/HOW-THE-NUMBERS-ARE-COUNTED.md.
Open questions
- Project 4000 and Project 3000 have no definition in the data held here. The nearest candidates: unengaged unreached groups (2,968) for 3,000; Frontier + Pioneer (5,950) or unengaged frontier (2,473) around 4,000. A list another organisation publishes would need that source.
- The funnel's top step: IMB counts 12,379 group-by-country rows; about 16–17k is Joshua Project's count. One funnel should use one source, or its steps do not nest.
- "Unreached", two rules 34 apart: Lostness Priority 0–2 (7,341, used today) or evangelical level under 2% (7,307).
- peoplegroups.org terms: the data is a public download with an attribution line, but no licence text is recorded; republishing counts and rows in maps, packets and partner embeds needs confirming.
