Subject: [PATCH 1/2] =?UTF-8?q?fix(#687):=20triage=20the=20I3=20literal=20?=

MIME-Version: 1.0

Follow-on to #747, which made the category measurable. This spends that
measurement: it works the `translate` list down from 40 to 19 and puts six
more files on the per-file ratchet.

Two scanner rules, both learned from the triage rather than guessed:

1. Version, phase and build stamps are `diagnostic`, not prose. `omadia · v1`,
   `B.0 Draft-Store`, `Phase B.5 (Workspace-UI)` and `omadia · v1 · Slice 1.1`
   sit in product footers and read like text, but localising them changes an
   identifier an operator quotes in a bug report. (One of them already had a
   translated LABEL — `t('footer.phaseLabel')` — with the value left hardcoded
   beside it.) Whether internal roadmap vocabulary belongs in a shipped footer
   at all is a product question, flagged rather than answered here.

2. Every `placeholder=` is a judgement call, not only the one-word ones. Of six
   hits, five were example VALUES that must not be translated (`Release
   sign-off`, `Release approver`, `id-1, id-2, …`, `email | uri | date-time |
   uuid`) and one was a real instruction (`Reason (optional)`). Nothing in the
   syntax separates them, so multi-word placeholders now land in `review`.

The `diagnostic` bucket was checked in the dangerous direction: it contains
exactly those four stamps and nothing legitimate.

27 keys across six files. The judgement calls worth naming: `block`/`boost` are
actions an operator picks, so by GLOSSARY.md they are German
(`blockieren`/`hervorheben`) while their `value` attributes stay; `Vault` and
`Bucket` are product/loan nouns that stay English but are now catalogue keys
with explicit allowlist reasons rather than implicit exemptions. They would
have passed silently either way — `i18n-validate` exempts short capitalised
nouns by design, a gap its own comment names as a follow-up.

Verification: i18n:check OK (3760 keys), tsc clean, eslint clean, 742/742
vitest. Mutation check: restoring one literal turns exactly the new per-file
ratchet red.

Remaining: 19 `translate`, most of them sentences split across JSX elements
(`rendered markdown (`, `Stream live ·`, `s tool-time`) that need ICU
restructuring rather than a 1:1 key — deliberately left for a separate pass.

From: Marcel Wege <mwege@byte5.de>

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] =?UTF-8?q?fix(#687):=20see=20template=20literals=20an?=
 =?UTF-8?q?d=20object=20labels=20=E2=80=94=20three=20German=20strings=20we?=
 =?UTF-8?q?re=20invisible?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Extending the scan to the shapes it could not parse found a hardcoded GERMAN
tooltip and two German badge labels, all in `chat/page.tsx`, all shipped.

Three gaps, each a construct the first version simply did not visit:

1. Template literals with substitutions. `title={`Triage-Klassifizierer:
   ${a} → ${b}`}` is the shape every interpolated status line uses, and
   `stringValueOf` handled only plain string literals. Note this one also slips
   past the repo's own `git diff | grep '[äöüÄÖÜß]'` self-check in
   `web-ui/CLAUDE.md` — "Triage-Klassifizierer" has no umlaut.

2. Strings in plain objects rendered later. `const verdict = { simple: { label:
   'einfach' } }` then `<span>{v.label}</span>` — neither JSX text nor a JSX
   prop. Two German labels lived there. Restricted to the same closed prop
   list, so the only false positive it can produce is a `label` on an API
   payload; 24 hits repo-wide, no explosion.

3. My own over-exemption. #747 skipped ALL of `chat/page.tsx` because
   `web-ui/CLAUDE.md` exempts `MOCK_KG_WALK` — but the docs exempt a SYMBOL,
   not a file, and the fixture is a const at line 79 while the German tooltip
   sat at 1251. Exemptions are now scoped to the declaration. An exemption must
   be no wider than the thing it excuses.

Two smaller corrections that fell out of this:

- Rendering a template as `{}` per substitution collided with the placeholder
  rule (`\{[^}]*\}`), which would have marked every interpolated string exempt
  and silently re-hidden the class this change exists to reveal. Classification
  now runs on the literal parts; only the display form carries `{}`.
- Text containing umlauts or ß is `translate` outright — German in a component
  is the severest class in the repo rules, so it outranks every exemption
  below. Precision over recall: it cannot false-positive, and it cannot catch
  umlaut-free German, which still surfaces as `review`.

The widened scan immediately turned the ratchet red on `ListView.tsx` — a
`title={`User: ${user}`}` that had been invisible when the file was declared
swept. That is the ratchet working: it is content-based, so widening the
question re-asks it of every swept file.

Verification: i18n:check OK (3766 keys), tsc clean, eslint clean, 742/742
vitest. Mutation check: restoring `label: 'einfach'` makes the object-label
detector report it again; reverting returns 0.
