rega measured it at ?lang=ar: ".of 5,067 languages have…" and ".both key-gated" — English
runs inside an rtl block, so the browser moves their leading and trailing punctuation to
the wrong end. Thirty of them across four leaves, found by walking the template and
flagging every static English run with no dir anywhere in its ancestry.
Each run is wrapped in <bdi dir="ltr"> rather than giving the block a direction: these
paragraphs mix English prose with translated labels and numbers, and a dir on the
container would left-align the Arabic beside it. bdi isolates exactly the run and nothing
else.
The first pass broke the build and the second caught it: my tag regex ended a tag at the
first ">", so v-if="matches.length > 8" looked like text and the wrapper landed INSIDE the
attribute — v-if="matches.length > <bdi dir="ltr">8". check:sfc-parse failed, I patched
four sites by hand, and that left orphaned </bdi> closes. Reverting all four files and
redoing it with a quote-aware tokenizer was the cheaper fix than repairing my own repair:
30 runs, every open matched, 0 wrappers inside an attribute, SFC-PARSE and gates:pre 11/11
green.
Needs eyes: this is a bidi rendering fix and only a screenshot can confirm the punctuation
sits right. rega has the case at l17-7a7ca67b.
