Both halves of studio's L13U refusal were correct and both are mine.
1. THE LEGACY upg100WallIntro FALLBACK IS GONE. It existed for exactly one window — the three
plain-text keys were landing in studio's catalogue while this consumer was already written, so the
branch rendered the old markup-bearing key until they arrived. They are on main in all eleven
locales, so the condition can no longer be true: it is DEAD CODE that keeps a key alive, because
studio cannot delete upg100WallIntro while a line still reads it. A fallback whose condition cannot
fire is not safety, it is a reference.
The three remaining mentions in this file are COMMENTS, not code — verified that no live call site
anywhere in plugin-designs/ or library/ reads it, so it is now safe to delete.
2. THE GATE DEFAULTED TO A GITIGNORED FILE. check:zoning-declared read
library/scripts/posters/out/_records.json, which .gitignore:94 excludes, so on a clean checkout it
exited 75 — NOT MEASURED forever, indistinguishable from an unwired gate. studio measured exactly
that and correctly refused to wire it into gates:post. This tree has been here before:
check:packets-all SKIPped on every build for weeks for the same reason.
★ THE FIX IS A COMMITTED FIXTURE, NOT A LOOSER GATE. data/people-groups/zoning-records.json carries
slug plus every field a selector actually reads — 2,107 records, ~300 KB. country_code alone would
not do: the deaf zone reads rop1 and five African/European zones read wagf_block/wagf_region, which
is the same omission that made six zones silently resolve to nothing in the packet generator.
The live cache is still PREFERRED when present, so a local run measures the freshest data and CI
measures the committed one.
VERIFIED on a genuinely clean tree (git archive of the staged tree, no cache, no network):
PASS — 28 zones, 2,107 records, 2,096 covered, all five assertions green, exit 0.
check:i18n-keys-exist PASS, check:sfc-parse PASS.
