An external accessibility review of mu-index landed as a design handoff: 12
findings, a protect-list, 14 copy rewrites and a mockup. Its conclusion is the
inverse of a usual audit — nothing is missing, everything is said two or three
times, so a screen reader wades through repeats to reach the one fact it wanted.
This is the first pass through it, in the review's own order of work.

Blocking

  • B1 — the connect screen was in the document three times: a 24-row excerpt,
    the whole thing again under "show all N rows", its text a third time under
    "read as text". One frame now, every row, scrolling; the crop is gone from the
    parser as well as the frame. The art is one image with a one-line alternative
    (role="img", which prunes the drawing like aria-hidden and leaves the
    region focusable — it scrolls, and a keyboard has to be able to scroll it).
  • B2 — 168 cells, 167 of them "not measured": below seven measured days
    there is no grid at all, and no summary sentence either ("busiest Monday,
    small hours" off one Monday morning is a shape one probe cannot have). Where
    the grid is drawn it is hidden from assistive tech and its text alternative is
    a real seven-row table — day, quietest, busiest, hour of the peak, and a column
    each for the two kinds of hour that produce no number.

Shaping

  • S1/S2 — the listing row reads as three zones. The age is stated once (the
    count's chip dated the same probe the freshness column dates), the verb moved
    to a column head, six per-protocol accent dots became none, protocols truncate
    to three plus a count, and "unclaimed" is off all 515 rows on both surfaces. A
    declared count still says so in words: rule 1 is intact.
  • S3 — one calendar, one ladder. Dates gives the site one absolute format
    (17 Aug 2026) where it had three, Moment makes every relative age a
    <time datetime> whose title carries "19m ago, 17 Aug 2026 14:02 UTC", and the
    absolute is spoken to a screen reader where a reader weighs one fact and not on
    a row where they are scanning 515.
  • S5 — rankings ties share a place. Twenty games all reachable since 31 July
    were numbered 1–20, an order the measurements do not contain.

Polish and copy — nav in two labelled groups with aria-current and the
marker drawn inside the item's box; submit and about moved to the actions end;
a real h1 and lede on the front page; feeds that stop repeating their own
headings; ?plain=1 on /find, which had neither the link nor the surface;
selectors that no longer link to the page you are on; and ten of the fourteen
copy rewrites, each shipped with the page it is on.

Not in this PR — the About split (S4) is four URLs and its own redirects;
the tri-state facet (B3) as specified needs script on a page that deliberately
has none, and main's facets are already one control per facet rather than the
two-per-value list the review saw. Both are written up in the branch discussion.

All five suites green: Web 562, Catalog 498, Crawl 288, Discovery 267, Crawler
235.

An accessibility review of the site found the opposite of what such a review
usually finds: nothing missing, everything said two or three times. The game
page was the worst of it, and this is the first two of its three blocking
findings.

The connect screen was in the document three times — a 24-row excerpt, the whole
thing again under "show all N rows", and its text a third time under "read as
text". Three passes through box-drawing characters that carry no words, and the
largest block on the page. It is now one frame holding every row, which scrolls;
the crop is gone from the parser as well as from the frame, so there is no
second copy to keep in step. The art is one image with a one-line alternative
(role="img", which prunes the drawing the way aria-hidden would and, unlike
aria-hidden, leaves the region focusable — it scrolls, and a keyboard has to be
able to scroll it). The words are under "read as text", once.

The alternative names the screen and points at the text; it does not describe
the artwork. A paragraph about somebody else's ASCII would be our reading of
their drawing presented as a fact about their game.

The activity grid announced "not measured" 167 times on a game with one probe,
before reaching the single number that existed. Two changes. Below seven
measured days there is no grid at all — the panel says what we have and what has
to arrive before there is a week to draw, which is kinder to a screen reader and
stops a sparse page looking broken to everybody else. The summary sentence is
suppressed with it: "busiest Monday, small hours" off one Monday morning is a
claim about a shape one measurement cannot have.

Where the grid is drawn it is hidden from assistive tech and its text
alternative is a real table of seven rows — day, quietest, busiest, the hour of
the peak, and a column each for the two kinds of hour that produce no number.
The mouse tooltips are unchanged. Nothing about the three states of §5.4 is
softened: an hour we could not count and an hour nobody measured have separate
columns, and neither is ever a nought. The plain surface takes the same
threshold and the same words, because it is the mirror people actually rely on.

The capability tally was the section's heading text and, verbatim, the table's
sr-only caption. It is now the caption, on screen, once.

The review's second finding about the listing: a row ran the count, its
provenance, its age and "reached 19m ago" together with no separation, so a
screen reader got one long slur and a sighted reader untangled it from the
layout. The same age was on the row twice — the count's chip dated the probe the
freshness column already dated — and the word "measured" was on every row of a
page headed "Every fact below was measured".

The row now reads as three zones: identity, measurement, freshness.

- The count keeps its glyph, and spells out "declared" on the rows where the
  number is one the game states about itself. That is the exception and the one
  a reader could be misled by. Rule 1 is intact — the two kinds of number are
  still told apart, by shape, by colour and in text — and the 500 rows that were
  saying the site's default claim out loud have stopped.
- The freshness column is the bare age under one "reached" heading, rather than
  the verb repeated 515 times. A screen reader still hears it, once, per row.
- Protocols print three and then a count of the rest, with no accent dot beside
  each: every protocol on that line is measured by definition, so six dots per
  row said one thing six times.
- "unclaimed" is off the rows, on both surfaces. It was on all 515 of them: an
  administrative fact about our records, repeated at a reader looking for
  somewhere to play, and a mark every row wears distinguishes no row from any
  other. It stays on the game page, where it arrives with the way to change it,
  and in the API.
- The row has a 44px floor, because the game's name is the link and this list is
  five hundred touch targets on a phone.

Four copy rewrites from the same review, shipped with the page they are on:
"quiet — reachable, nobody counted" becomes "reachable, count unknown"; the
unranked break becomes "reachable, count unreadable — not zero"; the tick-box
hint becomes "Unticked means not measured — not that the game lacks it"; and the
two sort groups become "typical" and "peak", since every option under them
already names its own window.

Three absolute date formats were in use — 2026-08-17 in a game's change list,
31 July 2026 in the rankings, Aug 2026 beside an address — and every relative
age carried no absolute value at all, so "19m ago" could not be resolved by
anybody arriving from a cached page or a search result.

Dates now has one spelling, 17 Aug 2026, and it asks for the invariant culture
by name rather than taking whatever culture the host process happens to be in.

Moment is the age: a <time> carrying the machine-readable instant, and in its
title the age and the absolute together — "19m ago, 17 Aug 2026 14:02 UTC". The
visible text is as short as it ever was. The absolute is spoken to a screen
reader where a reader is weighing one fact — a game page's fields, its capability
ages, the connect screen's capture — and not on a listing row, where announcing
the full stamp 515 times would rebuild the wall this pass is pulling down.

The ladder runs to 48 hours rather than 36 before it turns into days. Nothing can
stop 84m sorting below 1h to the eye, but the rungs are at least where the
crawl's own cadence puts things.

Two rankings changes while the page was open. Tied rows share a place:
twenty games all reachable since 31 July 2026 were numbered 1 to 20, an order the
measurements do not contain, on a site whose argument is that it prints only what
it measured. Both captions now say the ties are ties. And the eligibility line is
a sentence — "No game yet has the 24 samples across 4 days that a median needs"
— rather than "0 of 519 games listed produced the 24 counted samples a median
needs, on at least 4 days of the window", which was arithmetic left to the
reader. The vote-gaming argument is off the rankings page and stays on /about,
which is its home; the rule itself is still stated here.

…ror on every page

The nav was nine links in one flat row, in no order anybody could name, with no
mark on the page you were reading. They are two ideas and two odd ones out:
games · find · random · archive are places to browse, reference · ecosystem ·
rankings are things to read about the hobby, submit is an action rather than a
category, and about is site meta. Two labelled groups, and the last two moved to
the far end beside sign in, where a reader looks for what to do.

The current page is marked with aria-current and an inset box-shadow. Not a
border and not a padding change: either adds a pixel to the current item's box
and shifts every link beside it the moment you arrive, which is the defect that
was reported. "/" matches only itself, so the home page marks nothing rather
than everything.

The front page had a hidden h1 and opened on a search placeholder. It now says
what the site is — the sentence the meta description already carried — and the
lede says how it knows. Neither repeats the wordmark, which is why the h1 was
hidden in the first place.

The feeds stop repeating their own headings. "first seen" under "newly
discovered" and "answered again" under "came back" were the column said twice,
once per row; "we keep knocking" was a promise about the crawler made once per
dark game, and it is now in that column's heading, once. A cause is a
measurement and stays: a dark row reads "connection refused".

The crawler strip loses its label — "crawler live · last probe just now ·
nothing due this cycle" — and /find loses a third of its words: six optional
questions, TLS named as TLS, five acronyms with three words each and a link to
the reference article this site already has on every one of them, and "answers
filter; they never rank" said once instead of three times.

And ?plain=1 is on /find, which had neither the link nor the surface. It is the
one page whose mirror is not the graphical page with the graphics removed,
because a form has nothing to remove: it is the same questions with the
parameter each answer writes, so a reader in a text browser can compose the
listing URL by hand.

The range and shape selectors under the trend rendered the option you were
already on as a link back to the page you were reading — a tab stop whose only
effect is to re-fetch. It is a span with aria-current now, tinted as well as
outlined, since with no hover left to distinguish it the border was doing all
the work alone.

Finding B3. Each facet was one <select> holding every value twice — once under
"only", once under "anything but" — so thirteen codebases were twenty-seven
options. To a screen reader that is near-identical pairs, one after the other;
to everybody it is a control that shows nothing at rest, because a select
sitting on an option in its second group looks exactly like one sitting on
"any" until it is opened.

One row per value now, with the three states the filter actually has: off,
only, anything but. The two controls are real radios sharing the facet's key,
so the browser does the work — picking one clears the rest, arrow keys move
within the group, the facet is one tab stop as the select was, and there is no
script. The querystring is unchanged: exclusion is still the !value token the
binding and the read API already parse, so every filtered URL anybody has
bookmarked still means what it meant.

Radios rather than the review's checkboxes because a Choice facet holds one
selection (FacetChoice). A tick that silently replaced the last one would be a
control lying about what the filter can hold — which is the failure mode the
review names for tri-states, in the other direction.

Details:

- Both controls carry an aria-label with all three parts: "PennMUSH, 23 games,
  only" and "PennMUSH, 23 games, excluded" — and the excluded name carries the
  count excluding it returns, not the value's own, because a control must not
  offer a number the listing will not produce.
- Excluded is a strike-through, a × and a ring at the dim step. Not amber: on
  this site amber means declared-or-ageing everywhere else, and a second meaning
  would cost it the first.
- "Any" is ticked and not tinted. Six accent-ringed rows saying "any" is a panel
  shouting its own defaults, and it would leave the tint meaning nothing by the
  time a reader reached the row it should have marked.
- Five rows, then a native <details> holding the tail — a facet can hold twelve
  values and there are nine facets. The disclosure opens itself when the
  reader's own choice is inside it, and its controls submit either way.

The first pass took the review's structure and applied it inside the layouts
this site already had. That was the wrong reading: the handoff says layout is
high fidelity and is the deliverable, and its _ds/ token files carry a scale
this stylesheet was not on.

The scale first, from tokens/spacing.css and tokens/typography.css — their
relationships, not their colours, which belong to another product and whose
README says so. Content padding goes 14px → 20px, a listing row is 13px by 20px
over a 46px floor, and there are radius tokens where there were four hand-picked
values: 9px for controls, chips and rows, 14px for the surfaces that hold them,
99px for pills. One easing curve at 0.14s. h2 comes down to 20px.

The games listing is two columns. Filters on the left at 268px with their own
edge running the full height of the card — `align-items: stretch`, so it does
not stop under a short panel and leave a well — and the rows on the right. They
were a wide band above the listing, which pushed the first game below the fold
on every visit and gave nine facets the shape of a toolbar rather than of a
question. Source order is filters then listing, so the narrow layout stacks them
in the order the tab key already takes; a visual order disagreeing with the DOM
would be a worse answer than a long panel. The header block carries the count:
"6 games, every fact measured."

The front page's four figures are tiles: a label, a value, no sub-label. They
were one 12px mono line reading like a caption, which is what the site's whole
claim is not. The crawler strip is framed by hairlines above and below. The three
change lists are rows — name left, age right, a hairline between — rather than
columns of boxed cards: a framed thing on this site is somebody else's connect
screen, and a card per game gave a name and an age the furniture of a section.
The return still raises its voice, as a tinted row with the one glow this page
spends.

And the game page's address moved inside the title's own column, where the
handoff puts it. As a sibling of the outer row it hung under the logo and read
as belonging to it; nested, the indent is the title's and collapses to nothing
by itself on a game with no logo.

…them

Two defects, both mine, both in the panel this pass rebuilt.

The rows did nothing. As radios they were honest about the filter's shape and
useless in the hand: a reader ticked a value and the page sat there until they
found the "show" button. They are links now — each one is this listing asked one
facet differently, and a ticked row's own link is the one that clears it. No
script, immediate, a real keyboard target, openable in a new tab, and the state
it produces is the URL, which is what this panel has always said the state is.
What a link cannot carry is text typed into the search box and not submitted;
that box keeps its own button.

And applying a filter looked like a page that had lost its results. The panel
renders two siblings into the listing grid — the form, and the row of chips that
sits outside it because a chip is a link rather than a control — so
auto-placement gave the chips the second column and dropped the listing into the
first, under a filter column a thousand pixels tall. Both columns are assigned
explicitly now, and the mobile query resets them.

Also: the codebase line read "codebase PennMUSH · about PennMUSH · all games"
directly under a chip reading "codebase PennMUSH ×" with "clear all" beside it —
the filter named twice and the way out offered twice, on the page whose whole
edit is about saying things once. What is left is the one link the chip cannot
carry, to the reference article on the thing being filtered on.

Inline comments:
In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/AnsiQuote.razor`:
- Around line 92-94: Extract the shared sentence currently produced by
Alternative into a single reusable symbol, then have Alternative and the Name
parameter’s rendering reference it so the wording is maintained in one place.
Preserve the existing one-line alternative behavior and naming semantics.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/CapabilityMatrix.razor`:
- Around line 21-23: Update the caption around Disagreements.Count and
Rows.Count to select “capability” when Rows.Count is 1 and “capabilities”
otherwise, preserving the existing disagreement pluralization.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/EcosystemCopy.cs`:
- Around line 227-239: Update the eligible-games sentence in the ranking copy to
use the complete form “{count} of {listed} listed games has/have …”, selecting
singular “has” for one qualifying game and plural “have” otherwise; preserve the
no-eligible-games branch and surrounding wording.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/FacetWords.cs`:
- Line 174: Update the GameSort.Players unranked-row label in the formatter so
it does not claim reachability for rows lacking a LastReachableAt observation;
use the neutral “count unreadable” wording unless the formatter receives and
validates the game’s reachability state. Keep reachability tied to an actual
crawler measurement rather than inferred game status.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/Layout/MainLayout.razor`:
- Around line 97-108: Update IsCurrent in MainLayout so a parent path such as
/games is not considered current when the request matches the known child path
/games/random, while retaining normal parent matching for other descendants. Add
coverage for /games/random that verifies exactly one navigation item receives
aria-current="page".

In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/Pages/Games.razor`:
- Around line 18-19: Update the games listing summary near Listing.Games.Count
to remove the claim that every fact is measured, using wording that remains
accurate when player counts are explicitly marked as declared in the row
rendering.

Apply the same fix in `@src/MUI.Web/Components/Pages/Home.razor` around lines 30 -
31: The home-page lede has the same unconditional measured-provenance claim.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/Pages/RankingsPage.razor`:
- Around line 140-142: Update the LongestUnbroken ranking in the RankingsPage
markup to use ascending comparison for Since values, so earlier dates receive
the better place under Place’s ordering. Apply the same correction to the
additional ranking occurrence, and add a regression test covering spells with
unequal Since dates.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/PlainText.cs`:
- Around line 860-864: Update the row-rendering loop in RenderFind so each
composed line is passed through the existing Wrap mechanism and never exceeds
the documented 80-column limit, including long token and FacetWords.Value
results. Also add RenderFind to the surfaces array used by
NoPlainLineIsWiderThanEightyColumns so this constraint is enforced by tests.
- Around line 841-842: Update RenderFind’s plain-text introductory text so its
stated question count matches the sections actually rendered: restrict
listing.Facets to the six find-page questions, or compute the count from the
filtered sections after the null check. Keep the existing rendering behavior for
those six questions unchanged.

In `@src/MUI.Web/wwwroot/app.css`:
- Around line 15-30: Replace the literal border-radius values at the affected
call sites with the corresponding tokens: use var(--radius-pill) for the 99px
value and var(--radius) for the 8px and 9px values. Update only the
border-radius declarations identified in the comment, preserving all other
styling.
- Around line 1295-1298: Update the color declarations for .facet-row .count and
.facet-hint to use var(--dim) or another theme-specific color meeting the 4.5:1
contrast threshold, while preserving their existing typography and layout
styles.

In `@tests/MUI.Web.Tests/PlainParityTests.cs`:
- Around line 306-307: Update the negative assertion in PlainParityTests around
Render.Words(html) to inspect the raw html instead, and use a measured-chip

Mark only the most-specific navigation item as current.

At /games/random, this method marks both /games and /games/random with aria-current="page". This gives two current pages in one navigation group. Exclude known child navigation paths from their parent match, and add a /games/random test that asserts one current item.

The structure was right and the page still did not look like the drawing,
because the drawing is a card: every screen in the handoff sits in one rounded
surface with the nav along its top edge and the content under it, on a ground
that carries a single soft radial. This site rendered everything loose on a flat
background, so the bar, the filters and the rows read as three things on a page
rather than as one instrument.

The shell is that card — 14px radius, the surface step, one border — the bar is
its top edge at the handoff's 60px with the raised step behind it, and the body
takes the radial from effects.css in our own colours.

The row type comes down to the handoff's scale with it: the count is 15px mono
rather than the largest thing on the page, and the meta line and the age meet at
12.5px, which is what makes a row read as one line of facts instead of three
sizes of them.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two things the drawing does not have, and the panel's own height.

A listing row is identity, measurement and freshness: a name, a count, an age
and the meta line under them. The plate and the tagline are gone from it — a
36px square and a sentence per row is two columns of furniture down a list five
hundred long, and both are on the game's own page where there is room to mean
something. GamePlate is unchanged and the game page still draws it, so the
monogram still has one implementation.

The filter column leads with three groups — what is on now, what it runs, when
we last reached it — and puts the other six behind one disclosure, because nine
facets in a 268px column is a column taller than the listing it filters. The
disclosure opens itself when one of the six is doing something.

Checked at 1400, 900 and 430: nothing scrolls sideways, the row's meta line
ellipsises rather than pushing the count out of the card, and the connect screen
keeps its own scroll inside its frame.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…nside a box

Reported, and all four real.

The bar had eleven things in it and a fixed 60px row, so "sign in" wrapped under
"about submit" and the wordmark floated between two ragged rows. It wraps
properly now — the groups stay whole, the rows have a gap, and nothing is
clipped by a height it cannot have.

The card was 1120px in a 1400px frame, which read as a column down the middle of
the page rather than as the handoff's full-width panel. 1320.

The protocol pills could be wider than the 268px column that holds them, so they
pushed its edge out. They wrap their own words and are capped at the width of
what contains them.

And the filter form still carried its old panel styling — border, radius, its
own surface — from when it was a band above the listing. Inside the card that is
a box within a box, fighting the hairline that already separates the columns.
The column's edge is the separation; the form is its contents.

With them: content padding 20 → 24, the toolbar level with the panel's first
control rather than pushed down by a margin that belonged to the old layout, and
a search placeholder that fits its field.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The audit first: every screen rendered against the mockup at 1440, 1024, 768
and 430, in both themes, with the numbers read off getComputedStyle rather than
guessed. docs/2026-08-17-mockup-parity-qa.md is the checklist and the record of
what the pass did with it.

The chrome. A 60px bar that never wraps, on the surface a step below the card
rather than a step above, and the current-page marker drawn strictly inside the
item's box — it carried a padding-bottom on top of the inset shadow, so the bar
moved a pixel the moment a marked item was on it. That is the defect the handoff
names by hand, and the bar's geometry is now byte-identical across four pages.

The nav degrades through a defined order instead of whatever flexbox decides:
labels, then submit's border, then both groups into one menu disclosure, then
submit into that menu, then type. Width triggers each step, never language.
Every link exists in the document exactly once — the obvious implementation, a
second copy inside the menu, puts two aria-current markers in one page.

The listing row is three zones on one grid. The count and the age are siblings
on the first line rather than a nested column stacking one over the other, the
provenance glyph and the word "declared" are off the count entirely, the unit
moved into a column head that says it once instead of on 515 rows, and the
codebase chip lost the age the freshness column was already printing.

The panel: three shapes for three shapes of data. Activity and last seen are
nested thresholds, so they are radios with no exclude affordance — "everything
but games with somebody connected" is not a question anybody has. Everything
else is tri-state, and an excluded row wears the danger tint the drawing draws.
Rows are a grid rather than a flex run, which is what stops one group's widest
label pushing its counts ten pixels past the panel's edge. The sort select and
the show button are gone; the order is a pressed-state switch over the column
whose numbers it changes.

The game page is one column, which is what removes the focus jump from the
bottom of the page back up to a right rail. No monogram where a game published
no icon. The count is a figure over the kicker that dates it. One connect
figure, framed as a quotation.

And the i18n work that needs no translations: every game-supplied name is a
<bdi> carrying a language derived from its own codepoints — but only where the
script settles it. Han without kana, Cyrillic and Devanagari get isolation and
direction and no lang at all, because guessing there would assert something
about somebody's game that nothing measured. The kicker's uppercase and tracking
are locale-gated, the machine voice carries translate="no", the connect caption
states its width in cells, and players became connected everywhere.

631 web tests, and no horizontal overflow on eight pages at four widths in both
themes.

Preserve filter errors in plain-text mode.

When parsing fails, OnParametersSetAsync sets Error and empties Listing. This branch renders only PlainText.RenderListing, which cannot include the error because it receives no error argument. A plain-text request with an invalid filter therefore looks like an empty result instead of a refusal.

Proposed fix

The words, inside the same figure rather than in a block below it.

**Still a disclosure, and the handoff draws it open.** Its version exposes "only the
lines that are actually prose" — the address and the connect / create / QUIT
instructions — and that is the one instruction here we cannot follow: deciding which
of a stranger's lines are artwork and which are prose is a judgement about somebody
else's screen, and rules 4 and 5 forbid us presenting our reading of their output as
a fact about their game. So the alternative stays the *whole* screen, unaltered.

Which is why it stays folded. Shown open it would draw the same eighty columns of
box-drawing twice on one page — the exact triplication B1 exists to remove, at two
copies instead of three. One figure, one drawing, and the complete text a keystroke
away: the disclosure moved inside the frame so the two are visibly one block, and
the summary wears the kicker the handoff names.

Keep the text disclosure outside the role="img" subtree.

role="img" makes descendants presentational. The <details> element on Lines 68-71 can be removed from screen-reader navigation. The aria-label then becomes the only exposed alternative and does not provide the screen text.

Move <details class="screen-text"> outside div.quote while keeping it inside the figure.

The card goes. Drawing the site as one panel floating on a ground is a mockup
convention rather than a product decision — a directory is an instrument you
fill the window with, not a document you frame — so the border, the radius, the
shadow and the side margins are gone and the page is the surface. What the card
was actually carrying survives: one bar along the top, bands separated by
hairlines, and every block sharing one left edge.

That left edge is now a single --gutter, fluid, landing on the handoff's 24px at
the width it was drawn to and growing a little rather than pinning a wide
monitor's chrome to the glass. The bar, the header band, the toolbar, every
listing row, the filter column and the footer all read it.

The bar becomes chrome and behaves like it: sticky, because the game page runs
to three and a half thousand pixels with the catalogue at the top of it.

And a defect this pass shipped: `overflow: hidden` on the bar clipped away every
pixel of the nav's own dropdown, so at the width where that disclosure IS the
navigation it opened onto nothing. Both the bar and the shell now clip sideways
and stay open downwards — `clip` is what allows that pairing, where `hidden`
would coerce the other axis to `auto` and hand the page a scrollbar. The marker
for the current page changes shape with the panel: an underline on the bar's
bottom edge, a leading edge in the list.

…e, and the i18n pipeline

Five things, in the order they were asked for.

**Full-bleed.** The card is gone — no border, radius, shadow or side margins.
Drawing the site as one panel on a ground is a mockup convention, not a product
decision; what the card carried is unchanged, and the left edge every block
shares is now one fluid --gutter that lands on the drawing's 24px at the width
it was drawn to. The bar is chrome and behaves like it: sticky, over a page that
runs to three and a half thousand pixels.

A defect the previous commit shipped went with it: `overflow: hidden` on the bar
clipped away every pixel of the nav's own dropdown, so at the width where that
disclosure IS the navigation it opened onto nothing. Both the bar and the shell
now clip sideways and stay open downwards.

**The filter panel stops moving.** Filtering the codebase shifted the activity
group up and deleted two of its four rows. The cause was one function answering
two questions at once: how many a row returns, and whether the row exists at
all. The count is over the filtered domain; the row set is decided by the
catalogue as the reader is looking at it. So a scale keeps its length whatever
else is filtered, a lineage nobody runs still does not appear, and a rung that
returns nothing is dimmed rather than deleted — 0 is an answer.

**Copy**, at the user's direction: the three per-group notes are gone, the
listing's "N games, every fact measured" line is gone, and "reachable, count
unreadable — not zero" is now "Unknown count". The old line spent most of its
words denying a reading nobody had had yet.

**A light theme that is not white.** #ffffff stopped being a panel and became the
whole window when the card went. Large fields of pure white glare, halation is
worst for readers with astigmatism, and 21:1 body contrast is past the point
where more helps — which is why Primer, Carbon, Material and Solarized all land
on an off-white instead. The ramp is a soft cool grey with near-white reserved
for what sits above it, which also restores a distinction light had lost:
--surface and --raised were both #ffffff. Every step is measured; --faint moved
because it did not clear 4.5:1 and it carries 12px ages.

**And the i18n pipeline.** Locale in the path, because a locale that lives in a
cookie gives one URL two bodies. ICU MessageFormat, hand-written for the subset
this site uses, refusing what it does not implement rather than rendering
something plausible. CLDR plural rules for the nine tags the site commits to,
including the Russian 11 and 12 that end in 1 and 2 and take neither `one` nor
`few`. The locked glossary, keyed by context — four ids for "measured", because
Russian has four forms of it and English collapses them — each shipping the
reason it is locked. A footer switcher that is a select and a submit, so it
survives JavaScript being off. hreflang with x-default on the unprefixed
address.

No locale is offered, and that is the point rather than a gap: the gate is a
test, and a locale may not be offered while any locked id is untranslated.
Chinese ships first and cannot fail an agreement bug — no gender, no plural
inflection, no case — so Russian is wired into CI as a canary that is missing a
`few` branch on purpose, and a pseudolocale exercises routing, fallback and the
1.4x width budget without anybody claiming it is a language.

UseRouting is now explicit: the auto-inserted one runs before all middleware and
resolved the endpoint before the locale prefix had been rewritten away.

680 web tests, 1375 elsewhere, and no horizontal overflow on eight pages at four
widths in both themes.

The message layer was a deliberate subset and is now MessageFormat 1.0 entire.

Checked for a library first, because hand-rolling a spec is normally the wrong
answer. ICU4N is an alpha pinned to ICU 60 from 2017, whose CLDR data predates
several of the rules here; the MessageFormat ports are 0.1.x forks of an
abandoned project. .NET's own globalization is ICU-backed but exposes collation
and formatting, not MessageFormat or plural rules. There is nothing to take.

So: ICU's apostrophe quoting in its default mode, which replaces a doubled-brace
escape that was ambiguous with the syntax it appeared in — every argument ends
"...}}" when its last branch closes, and a reader treating those two characters
as one literal walked off the end of the message. selectordinal with its own
rule set, because English cardinal has two forms and English ordinal has four
and one table cannot produce both. offset:, with ICU's split between `=n`
matching the number as written and `#` taking it after the subtraction.
number, date and time with styles and skeletons — uncalled here, but supporting
the grammar is different from supporting the half we use.

And CLDR plural operands, which is the correctness point: 1 is `one` and 1.0 is
`other` in English, the two are the same quantity, and only how the number is
written separates them. An integer-only implementation cannot express that.

Everything is refused at parse time rather than rendered wrong — a selector with
no `other`, a branch keyword no category uses, `choice`, an unbalanced brace —
and every bundle is parsed by a test. Enforcing ICU's mandatory `other` caught
three of my own test patterns and a canary bundle entry on the first run, which
is exactly what it is for.

Underneath, the storage is the arrangement SharpMUSH's portal already uses:
resx, a marker class, AddLocalization over a ResourcesPath, and the SDK
compiling one satellite assembly per culture. What does not transfer is
CompositeFormat — {0} substitutes and cannot agree, so "23 games" would still be
assembled from a number and a noun in C#, which is the concatenation this whole
pipeline exists to remove. The resx values are ICU patterns instead.

The English lives twice, in the resx and compiled in, because the compiled-in
copy is the fallback for every locale and every surface including those rendered
with no host behind them — and a fallback that can fail to load is not one. A
test reads the resx as XML and asserts the two agree in both directions.

Not MessageFormat 2.0: it is stable in CLDR 47 and is where this goes, but it
has no .NET implementation and no translation tool speaks it yet. The
MessagePattern AST is the seam that front end would sit behind.

The switcher was there and drew nothing: it renders only where there is a
choice, English was the only shipped locale, and one option is not a control.
So there was no button to find.

Four machine-translated locales now — German, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese —
produced by subagents against the locked glossary, with the plural categories
each language actually has: two for German and Dutch, one for Chinese and
Japanese. They are LocaleStatus.MachineTranslated, which is the handoff's own
third tier: reachable, never *offered*. No Accept-Language answer, no hreflang
alternate and no default sends a reader to one. Promotion to Shipped is a person
reading them against Glossary.cs, and the test guarding Offered is what stops
that happening by an edit to an enum.

Every page in one carries the ◆ notice saying a machine wrote its words — the
glyph that already means derived, so a returning reader recognises the claim
without learning a symbol. Its second clause is load-bearing and true: the
measured values are unaffected, because the machine voice carries
translate="no" and never enters the pipeline. A test asserts it rather than
trusting it, along with the one that matters most — that the four kinds of
absence stayed four different phrases in every translation, which is the failure
the glossary exists to prevent and the one a translation engine walks into.

And the reason none of it could have worked: InvariantGlobalization was true
solution-wide. That is a runtime switch that removes ICU entirely — every
culture but the invariant one is an invalid identifier, GetCultureInfo("en")
throws, and satellite assemblies can never resolve, because resolving one is a
culture lookup. The four resx files compiled correctly and were unreachable,
which is the worst shape a bug takes: it builds, it ships, and every reader gets
English. It is set per executable, so the crawler running in-process inherits
real globalization now; the 1375 tests across Crawl, Crawler, Catalog and
Discovery are what say the parsers did not notice.

The switcher also lists the pseudolocale and the CI canary in a development
build, because a control with one option cannot be reviewed at all.

The Find page review from the third handoff bundle is in
docs/2026-08-17-find-page-qa.md. No code changed for it.

The locale machinery shipped with 38 ids, so a reader switching to German got a
German footer and an English site. This lifts the rest of the visible chrome —
nav, filter panel, facet vocabulary, sort orders, game-page headings, capability
matrix — to 198 ids read through Messages/ICU, and threads the locale tag through
FacetWords, ActiveFilters and PlainText so the text mirror answers in the same
language as the page it mirrors.

Drops the machine-translation banner. The honesty it carried is better served by
what the site declines to do than by a strip above every page.

Restores three sentences the extraction had collapsed into one: an unreachable
game, a game with too few counts to take a median of, and a game with nothing
countable in the window are three different facts, and the two that were lost
each said in their own words that they are not a measured zero (rule 4).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
/find was a form aimed at /games: every option unselected whatever the URL
said, so an answered Find page did not exist — it could not be linked, did not
survive reload and, the reason it had to change, could not be counted. There
was no server-side instant at which a set of answers existed, so every number
on the page was marginal and no two of them could be combined by eye.

It now binds its own querystring through the listing's own binding, and the
panel draws one number: the size of the listing those answers produce, from the
pass that would list them. Never the product of the marginals beside the
options — the prototype this was drawn from multiplies marginal ratios, which
assumes the answers are independent and is wrong whenever they are not. The
figure on the loosen button is a counted listing too.

The rest, in one pass because they are one page: every option is a link with a
40px target and its own count; the silent bucket is selectable and keeps its
per-facet word; "what kind of game" asks lineage, which is the derived grouping
the catalogue already owns, and every question carries the evidence badge that
says which of the three it is; TLS appears once, and "MSSP— server
self-description" and "1 games" are gone with the concatenations that made
them. ?plain=1 and the rendered page are two renderers over one FindScreen, so
the two surfaces can no longer disagree about what may be asked.

The page's own copy is in the message bundle, questions included, and the
locale is a parameter of the construction rather than something applied to
what it returns — a translation applied afterwards would reach one surface and
not the other, which is the split just closed.

Divergences, each written down in the QA doc: no aria-live (the count is
server-side, so the round trip replaces the live region); headings rather than
legends (there are no form controls for a legend to name); the dark-games
default is the listing's, with the claim that nothing is filtered deleted
instead; uncounted stays. At 860px and below the panel stacks as a wrapping
row in document order — it was briefly a two-column bar that put the call to
action first to the eye and fourth to the keyboard.

Verified at 1440/1024/768/430 in both themes and at /de/find: no horizontal
overflow, 24/14/24 rhythm on all six questions, one answer chosen in each, and
the count and the submit in view with the viewport at the last question.

German, Dutch, Japanese and Simplified Chinese go from 38 ids to all 198 — the
whole visible chrome rather than the footer and the glossary. Translated by four
subagents working from one brief: the five rules the copy encodes, the locked
protocol and codebase names, the CLDR plural categories each language actually
has, and the length envelope of a nav bar.

`<html lang>` was the constant "en" under every one of them. Unicode unified
thousands of Han characters across Chinese and Japanese, the correct drawn form
differs, and `lang` is the only thing that selects between the two font families
— so the two locales this site shipped first were being rendered by a browser
told they were English, at exactly the same width, which is why no measurement
caught it. It is also what a screen reader picks a voice from and what the
hreflang links in the head are claiming.

Two things the German bar found, at 430px:

The collapsed nav is one word and a chevron, and `flex: 1 1 auto; min-width: 0`
let flexbox squeeze it to 33px — "Men", chevron cut off, on the only control
that reaches the other six pages. The ends are sized by their content, so a
longer word at either end came out of the one item that must never shrink.

And the theme control's own label was `display: none` below 900px while the form
still named itself with `aria-labelledby` pointing at it, so a screen reader met
three unnamed buttons at exactly the width where the surrounding words are gone
too. Out of the drawing, still in the accessibility tree.

Every threshold in the nav's degradation ladder was a pixel count, and every one
of them was really a measurement of English. The seven catalogue links are 430px
in English and 517px in Japanese, so 860 was the width at which the *English* bar
stops fitting — German, Dutch and Japanese spent the whole 861–1100 band with
links running out of their box, at 1024, which is one of the four widths this
design is reviewed at. English was clipping between 861 and 875 for the same
reason: the number was set by eye.

`max-content` is the browser's own answer to "how wide is this text, in this
language, in this font", so the nav asks for what its links need and `flex-wrap`
gives it a row of its own the moment the bar cannot. No number to keep in step
with a translation, nothing to re-tune when a string changes, and a language
nobody has measured yet is right on arrival. The same wrap covers the narrowest
phone, where the German theme control had been clipped past `.shell`'s
`overflow-x: clip` — not cramped but gone, with no way to change the theme at all.

The trade is a two-row bar rather than a menu in that band: every destination
stays visible and in the same order, and the row that moves is the one that was
being clipped. Below the collapse width it is still one disclosure, because a
menu is the right shape on a phone whatever the language.

The Find page's 44 new ids are translated into all four locales, so all 242 are
complete in de, nl, ja and zh-Hans.

Verified: 8 pages x 5 locales x 5 widths x 2 themes with no overflow and the
right `lang` on every document; no backward tab jumps across 3 pages x 3 locales
x 4 widths; 2,115 tests over five suites.

ActivitySummary was the last surface on the site that answered in English
whatever the reader had asked for. It spelled numbers into words from an
English array, chose "has" or "have" by an English rule, pluralised "evening"
by adding an s, and named the seven days from strings compiled into the
component — four facts about English rather than about the measurement, and
none of them in a file a translator is ever sent.

Every sentence is an ICU message now: 62 new ids, one per fact, with the counts
as plural arguments so a language that has one form or three gets the one it
has. The day names come from CultureInfo by way of Locales.CultureOf, mapping
this codebase's Monday-is-0 to .NET's Sunday-is-0 arrays. CellValue reads the
glossary's own locked state.notMeasured and state.notCounted rather than
writing the two words a second time, so no locale can collapse them into one
phrase without failing a test.

The three states stay three in every language, and the third still names no
cause: an hour with no presence row covers an hour we could not reach and an
hour we never dialled alike, and no branch of any message here says otherwise.

Threaded through the heatmap component, the read-as-text table and the
?plain=1 mirror. The four locale bundles are untouched — the new ids fall back
to English, which is what a fallback is for — so a German page today reads
English sentences with German day names, German column headings and German
provenance words.

Web 764/764, Catalog 499/499.

Offset the sticky Find panel below the site header.

find-panel-inner sticks at top: 20px, but header.site occupies at least 60px at the top of the viewport. During scroll, the header can cover the count and action controls. Use an offset based on the rendered header height, including wrapped navigation, or disable this sticky behavior when the header wraps.

Do not dim the complete empty facet row with opacity.

opacity: 0.55 affects all descendant text, counts, and focus indicators. The row remains interactive, so its content and focus state must remain readable. Keep descendants at full opacity and use contrast-safe colors or backgrounds to indicate the empty state.

Inline comments:
In `@Directory.Build.props`:
- Around line 11-27: Update the explanatory comment near InvariantGlobalization
to remove the stale numeric test-count assertion, replacing it with a
non-numeric description of the relevant test coverage; leave the setting and
surrounding rationale unchanged.

In `@docs/2026-08-17-find-page-qa.md`:
- Around line 325-330: Update the localization statement in the section
beginning “The page's own copy is in the message bundle” to reflect that
Messages.zh-Hans.resx contains translated find.* values; do not claim all
satellite .resx files are untouched or that the new Find ids universally fall
back to English.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/ActiveFilters.cs`:
- Line 33: Update the active-filter chip labels in the component containing the
tag parameter so search, archived, adult, and included labels use localized
message IDs resolved through tag instead of literal English strings. Add the
required message IDs and preserve the existing chip behavior.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/FindScreen.cs`:
- Around line 441-454: Update the client option splitting in the method
containing the ordered options and FindQuestion construction to promote a chosen
option into the first OptionsShown entries, matching the existing Split behavior
used by other questions. Ensure the chosen option is not removed from both
Options and Tail, while preserving the current ordering and hiding unchosen
overflow options from Tail.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/Pages/FindAGame.razor`:
- Around line 249-252: Cache the parsed query collection once per render in a
field initialized by OnParametersSetAsync, using Nav.Uri there instead of
reparsing through Query. Update Plain, Text, and Carried to read from the cached
collection, preserving their existing values and foreach behavior.
- Around line 235-242: Update the card-footer links in FindAGame to render their
labels through Say(...): use footer.allGames for “all games,” nav.random or
listing.random for “random game,” and a11y.plainText for “plain text,” while
preserving the existing hrefs and structure.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/Pages/Game.razor`:
- Around line 546-552: Update PlainText.Render and PlainText.RenderHome to
accept a locale and use it for all localized messages instead of English
literals; pass Http.LocaleOf().Tag from Game.razor lines 546-552 and Home.razor
lines 181-184 at their respective call sites.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Components/PlainText.cs`:
- Around line 935-939: Update Answer to pass the composed option label/count
line and the Href line through the existing Wrap mechanism, preserving the
current checkbox and indentation formatting while ensuring both rendered lines
stay within the 80-column Columns limit.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Localization/IcuMessage.cs`:
- Line 34: Document the cache-safety contract for the public Format and Compile
APIs with an XML remark stating that pattern arguments must be literal or
resource-sourced and must not be derived from request data; keep Parsed

- Line 64: Update the redirect construction in the locale-routing logic to use
context.Request.Path.ToUriComponent() when assigning the path used in Location
targets, while retaining the decoded path value for segment matching. Apply this
consistently to the redirects associated with the path variable and the targets
at the referenced redirect branches.
- Around line 88-102: Restrict the locale redirects in the no-prefix routing
flow around Locales.Find and Preferred to GET and HEAD requests only. Ensure
POST requests, including the /locale form submission handled by MapPost, bypass
both remembered-locale and preferred-language redirects while preserving
existing redirect behavior for GET and HEAD.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Localization/Locales.cs`:
- Around line 185-207: Update Locales.UsePreview in
src/MUI.Web/Localization/Locales.cs:185-207 to allow the initial value only once
and reject subsequent conflicting values instead of silently changing Preview.
Keep the UsePreview call in src/MUI.Web/SiteComposition.cs:157-159, confirming
the test process does not build applications with different environments. Update
tests/MUI.Web.Tests/LocalizationTests.cs:346-359 and any no-argument
Locales.Switchable callers to pass the preview value explicitly;
AReviewBuildListsTheLocalesThatAreNotLanguages already demonstrates the intended
pattern.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Localization/MessagePattern.cs`:
- Around line 384-401: Update Selector so an explicit-value selector requires at
least one digit after the optional '='; reject a bare '=' with FormatException,

explicit selectors.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Localization/PluralOperands.cs`:
- Around line 101-104: Update PluralOperands.Of(long), Of(decimal), and Format
so the original sign is retained separately from absolute operands, and Format
renders the signed value using the supplied culture with its appropriate
grouping. Make the {n, number} handling in IcuMessage consistent with the same
grouping policy so # and number render identical quantities.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Localization/PluralRules.cs`:
- Around line 177-178: Update the Turkish cardinal rule in PluralRules to return
PluralCategory.One only when o.N equals 1m; return PluralCategory.Other for zero
and all other values, including fractions below 1.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Resources/Messages.de.resx`:
- Around line 66-68: Update the German localization entries window.samples,
sort.window.median, and sort.window.peak so their day unit is localized instead

use the required English fallback until human-approved translations exist.

In `@src/MUI.Web/Resources/Messages.resx`:

In `@tests/MUI.Web.Tests/FindAGameTests.cs`:
- Around line 363-370: Update TheGroupedQuestionSaysTheGroupingIsOurs to select
the question by FacetKeys.Lineage instead of its English text, then assert its
text using the appropriate message-bundle identifier and retain the existing key

…ved the page

The heatmap's 62 new ids are translated into German, Dutch, Japanese and
Simplified Chinese, so all 304 are complete in all four.

Two translators raised the same thing and were right to: English uses "quiet" for
two facts. The activity band means "reachable, count unreadable" and the hour
beside "busiest" means "fewest players counted", and a locale that translated
both with its word for the uncounted state would file a measured-low hour as an
hour we could not read. They are different words now in German and Dutch, which
is S7's whole point — the ids are granular past what English needs because English
is the one language that cannot tell them apart.

And the game page scrolled sideways on a phone, for a reason nothing on it could
show you. `.sr-only` is `position: absolute`, and inside `.table-wrap` it had no
positioned ancestor — so the text a screen reader reads out of the capability
matrix was laid out at the matrix's own width, 463px in German, outside the
scroller and outside `.shell`'s clip. Five spans nobody can see pushed the
document 59px past a 360px viewport, and the whole page scrolled to reveal
nothing. Visually hidden is not out of the layout; one `position: relative` is
what makes it invisible in both directions.

The overflow audit now covers the game page and a windowed ranking, and measures
what a reader can actually do — window.scrollX after scrolling right — rather
than scrollWidth, which the clip was hiding this from. It also stops flagging a
<pre> inside a scroller, which was burying the one element that was losing content.

Verified: 10 pages x 5 locales x 5 widths x 2 themes, no overflow and the right
lang on every document; no backward tab jumps; 2,126 tests over five suites.

Two sweeps: the pseudo-locale finds anything that never went through the message
pipeline, and a German-against-English diff finds what did but came back the same.
The second is the one that counts — the first reports Mon/Tue as untranslated
because qps-ploc shares English CLDR data, and those day names are German in German.

388 strings, and the game page's 228 of them are four messages: the trend chart
draws one SVG title per day. /about, /rankings, /ecosystem and /archive were never
touched. Two shapes cross every page — the relative-date tooltip and the provenance
chip, which is also leaking an enum's ToString as "Mssp".

Reference articles stay out of scope with a reason, not by omission.

The sweep's 407 new ids — /about's statement of the five rules, /ecosystem's
shares, /rankings, /archive, the trend chart, and the date and provenance strings
that appear on every page — are translated into German, Dutch, Japanese and
Simplified Chinese. All 711 ids are complete in all four.

The German-against-English diff goes from 388 identical strings to 19, and all
nineteen are meant to be: game names, codebase and lineage names, catalogue facet
values, two fixture archive notes, and a game's own tagline and lede, which are
measured from MSSP and are the game speaking rather than us. `Codebases` is
deliberately identical in German and Dutch — it is a locked loanword — and differs
in Japanese, which is the scheme working rather than a gap.

One test asserted its own English word order as though it were a fact about dates.
`AGermanPageNamesTheMonthInGerman` pinned "30 Juli 2026", so German's translation
of `date.absolute` — which supplies the ordinal point English has no use for, "30.
Juli 2026" — failed a test written to prove German months work. It now asserts the
word, the numbers and the round trip through `date.stamp`, and leaves the order of
the three parts to the locale whose sentence it is.

Verified: 10 pages x 5 locales x 5 widths x 2 themes, no overflow and the right
lang on every document, with the longer German age ladder and restructured
provenance chip live; 2,144 tests over five suites.

My translation brief said the site is impersonal throughout. That is true of the
catalogue surfaces and false of the owner-facing ones: /about's crawler and
opt-out sections, /submit and /account are telling a game's operator what to do
about their own server, and the Find page's whole design is to ask in a reader's
language and answer in facets. 22 ids carry "you" or "your" in the source. German
had dropped the address on all 22 and Dutch on 17, because I told them to.

Both restored, each in the form its own language actually uses. German is Sie —
these strings are the site talking to a stranger whose server it is probing
uninvited, and du would presume the familiarity the crawler documentation
explicitly disclaims. Dutch is je, because "u" reads as institutional
customer-service against this site's lower-case voice, and the earlier rounds had
already fixed je on the Find page. Two languages, two answers, one rule.

The rule is now written down in the brief: follow the English per string, not per
site. Where the source addresses somebody it is doing so on purpose, and where it
does not — every measurement the catalogue reports — it must not start.

A translator's proposal to go the other way is deliberately not applied. It would
have made five ids impersonal whose English is second-person, and turned "Wat wil
je spelen?" into "Welk genre?" — which is the Find page answering in the
catalogue's language, the one thing that page exists not to do.

Languages that drop the pronoun idiomatically keep dropping it: Japanese carries
it in 自分で and Chinese uses 你, and both were left alone.

Verified: 22/22 addressed ids carry the address in both languages and nothing
outside them acquired one; 10 pages x 5 locales x 5 widths x 2 themes with no
overflow; 2,144 tests over five suites.

CodeRabbit found this twice from two angles and it is real. The middleware
answered any unprefixed request from a reader with a locale cookie with a redirect
to the prefixed URL — including a POST. A browser follows a 302 as a GET and drops
the body, and nothing serves /de/theme, so with mui_locale=de set:

    POST /theme  -> 302 /de/theme, no Set-Cookie   (theme unchangeable)
    POST /locale -> 302 /de/locale, no Set-Cookie  (language unchangeable)

Every control on this site is a form, which is what let one redirect reach all of
them, and the switcher out of German was itself German-locked. Reproduced against
the running site before fixing and after.

So a redirect now only moves a request that can carry one: GET or HEAD, and a
document. The API and the crawler's own files are excluded for a different reason
— they are not documents in a language. /api/... answers the same JSON to
everybody and is pinned to the source locale by name; robots.txt and sitemap.xml
have one canonical address each, which is where a crawler looks and where the
sitemap says they are. Bouncing them cost a round trip and published a second URL
for a file that is supposed to have exactly one.

A request that is not redirectable still gets its locale — read from the cookie
rather than from the path — so a POST handler answers in the reader's language.

Five tests: the theme cookie is written under a German locale, the switcher
escapes German to Dutch, a document still follows the choice, and /api/games,
/robots.txt and /sitemap.xml are never given a prefix.

The table ranked on Since.Ticks and Place gives the first place to the greatest
value — but an earlier date is a smaller number, so the column ran backwards.
Midnight Sun II, reachable on every probe since June, was printed seventh of seven
under a heading that says longest, and Eldertale Online, the shortest spell on the
site, was first. The ?plain=1 mirror numbered the same rows from a counter and got
them right, so the page and its own text alternative disagreed about a ranking.

Ranked on Since ascending, not on the duration the heading names. Now is
Clock.GetUtcNow() and every read of it is a fresh instant, so LengthAt(Now) differs
by microseconds between a row and the sequence it is compared against: ranking on
the duration broke every tie and numbered seven rows one to eight. The start date
is the measurement and the duration is that date read against a clock, and only
one of the two is stable enough to sort on.

Ties still share a place, which is the whole of finding S5 — twenty rows reading
"31 July 2026" numbered 1 to 20 states an order the measurements do not contain.

Found by CodeRabbit on PR #89 and reproduced against the running site before and
after: the fixture now renders 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 7.

Six review findings on the listing and the Find page.

The client question did not go through Split, so the rule every other
question keeps — a reader's own answer is promoted into the shown list
— was never carried across. The shown list was the commonest six and
the tail was the remainder with chosen options filtered out, so a
capability ranking seventh or lower was in neither: the answer in force
was invisible and the only affordance that clears it went with it. A
single-choice control that can enter a state it cannot leave.

The listing row exposed a bare "12" beside a bare "2h ago". The visible
column head is aria-hidden and stays that way — a reader who can see it
does not want it 515 times — so the label goes in the row instead,
hidden, with an entity space because Razor collapses a literal one and
without it the row is announced as "connected219".

Three chips built by ActiveFilters rather than read off a facet group
were still literal English on a translated page. They are named through
FacetWords.Group now, so there is one place a facet is put into words.

PlainText documented a cap it could not hold: measured against the
running site, prose reaches 62 columns in German and stays under, but a
find query carrying six answers is 111 columns of address on its own and
a wrapped address is not clickable in the browsers this surface exists
for. So the prose wraps, the addresses do not, and the documentation
says which. The 80-column test covers find for the first time — prose
only, and scoped so the five surfaces that do hold to it on every line
including addresses go on being held to it.

The find page reparsed its own querystring four times per render, once
from inside a foreach. Parsed once in OnParametersSetAsync.

A test selected its question by matching English text; it selects by
facet key and asserts the text against the bundle.

Not done: the claim that the plain question count disagrees with the
sections rendered. RenderFind iterates screen.Questions — a fixed
six-element array of the find questions — and has not dumped facet
groups since the surface was rebuilt. There is no count to disagree.

…ver took

The connect-screen and game-page half of the accessibility review's second pass.

**The caption reported the grid, not the screen.** `Columns` was `Ansi.Columns`
— the constant 80 — halved whenever any East Asian Wide rune appeared anywhere
on the screen. So every ASCII banner narrower than eighty said eighty (M*U*S*H's
is sixty-three), and a row of seventy-nine ASCII characters ending in one Han
glyph, eighty-one cells on a terminal, said forty. Width is now summed rune by
rune and reported as the widest row: two cells for East Asian Wide and
Fullwidth, none for a combining mark, one otherwise. `Ansi.CellWidth` and
`AnsiRow.Cells` live beside the parser so both are testable and so nothing else
has to reinvent the arithmetic.

**The hero named a state it had not measured.** With `PlayersNow` null the game
page printed `state.notCounted` — the glossary's word for an hour we reached and
could not read a number out of, the middle of rule 2's three states. A null
count is not that state: it covers a game nobody has measured, a probe that
answered with nothing countable, and a count older than the window the figure
covers, and nothing on the page separates them. Gaslight Row, archived and
unreached since 2018, was described as a game we had probed and failed to count
— our silence published as their measurement (rule 5). It now states the absence
and declines to explain it, on both surfaces: `?plain=1` carried the same claim
in its own words.

Also here: the footer links `#changed` only where the change list renders;
Greek Extended (U+1F00–U+1FFF) settles Greek, so whether a Greek name is tagged
no longer depends on which of its letters carry breathings; the availability
strip computes its sentence and spells once per render instead of four times;
and the plain capability tally takes a singular verb for one disagreement, as
the caption over the graphical matrix already did.

Three findings are not implemented, because they were already true. The
`read as text` disclosure is a sibling of `div.quote`, not a descendant, so it
is in the accessibility tree — verified in an ARIA snapshot, where it appears
beside the `img` rather than inside it. `time.spoken` is `", {stamp}"` and
already carries its separator, so the spoken timestamp is not butted against the
visible age. And the graphical capability caption is already an ICU plural with
no counted noun in it, so it cannot say "1 capabilities"; its plain mirror could
say "1 of 6 disagree", and that is what was fixed instead.

804 tests pass. Verified at 1440/1024/768/430 in `en` and `de` with no
horizontal overflow on the game page.

…e it

Three surfaces the untranslated sweep could not see, because it walks the body
and these are not in it.

The crawler strip localized the age and nothing round it, so the provenance line
for the four front-page figures read "crawler live · last probe 4m" — one German
fragment in an English sentence, on the one line that lets a reader discount
every number above it. Its state, its cycle counters and its registry line are
ids now, with the age as an argument.

SitePreview took English literals from every page. They become <title>, the meta
description and the Open Graph card, so a German page announced itself in English
to a reader, a search engine and every client that unfurls a pasted link — the
three places a reader can check least. Title and description are ids per page;
the wordmark, a game's name and a host stay machine voice and arrive as arguments.

PlainText hard-coded the feed headings and the home count labels, so passing a
locale to RenderFeeds only ever tested English against English. Both go through
the bundle, uppercased at the call site like every other plain heading, and the
new coverage asks in two languages: the pseudolocale proves a string went through
Messages at all, German proves the tag threads down to a real satellite.

Two claims corrected. listing.total and home.lede said every fact was measured
while the row below wore a "declared" chip; what holds of every fact is that it
says which of the two it is (rule 1). window.samples and the two sort.window ids
glued a bare {days} to a literal "d", giving a translator one slot for two forms
— the day count selects a plural branch now, as the age ladder does.

The about page's "uptime" guard counted the English word and required exactly two
of it, which fails in Japanese and holds in German by loanword coincidence. The
rule is checked where it belongs instead: no message in any bundle says the word
except the two refusals that exist to refuse it.

Satellites untouched; the new ids fall back to English until the next round.

Tests: 791 Web · 499 Catalog · 346 Crawl · 267 Discovery · 250 Crawler, all green.

The plural table was checked line by line against the CLDR 46 chart rather than
against memory, and Turkish was not the only one wrong. `tr` had `n = 0..1` — a
real rule, belonging to Akan and Punjabi — which puts zero in the form Turkish
keeps for exactly one thing. Underneath it was a larger habit: `el`, `no`, `es`
and `da` state their rule on `n` and had all been written as English's
`i = 1 and v = 0`, which agrees on every integer and differs on 1.0, so nothing
that only ever counts things could have caught it. `be` had been folded in with
Russian for the same reason. `es` and `it` lost the Romance millions form
entirely; Hebrew kept a `many` and a six-way ordinal table that CLDR withdrew
before 46; and four languages CLDR states an ordinal rule for — `sv`, `be`, `vi`,
`ms` — had none here, which is not a missing translation but every rank silently
rendered in the wrong form. A CLDR range matches whole numbers, so `i % 100` in
place of `n % 100` gave every fraction the category of the number below it.

`#` printed a number differently from the same number passed to `{n, number}`:
raw integer digits against the culture's grouped form, so a listing past a
thousand said "1234 games" in a sentence and "1,234" in the column beside it, and
in German the separator is a full stop that no invariant rendering reaches at
all. It also dropped the sign. CLDR takes the absolute value to choose a category
and never to display one, so `PluralOperands` no longer formats anything and
`IcuMessage`, which still holds the signed value, does.

`{n, plural, = {none} …}` parsed. The `=` was consumed, nothing had to follow it,
and the category check skips anything starting with one — so the branch was
stored under a key no number can equal. That is the dead branch this parser
exists to refuse, and it was the one shape that got past.

`Locales.Preview` was a static flag every host start wrote, and a test process
starts hosts in Development and in Production, so the switcher listed whatever
started last. Rejecting a conflicting write would have failed that suite
deterministically; the flag is gone instead, and the question is asked of the
request, which a component with no request behind it can still answer.

Also: locale redirects are built from the escaped path, because `Path.Value` is
decoded and a `%23` in it truncates the target at a fragment; a `DateTime` with
no zone is read as UTC rather than as the server's clock; `Number` names the
argument that was not one; the pattern cache's contract is written down; the
resx test reads a copy placed beside it rather than counting `..` segments; and
one `Messages.Say` replaces eleven private copies of it.

An agent fixed the game page hero printing state.notCounted — the glossary's
phrase for a probe that answered without a number — for a null count, and flagged
that the listing does the same thing. It does. A null window measurement is three
cases: a probe that answered without a count, a window we never measured in, and a
game with no rows at all. Two of those are our crawl schedule, and rule 5 says our
schedule is never published as a fact about somebody's game.

The column now says the count is absent and stops, which is what rule 2's third
state is: not measured, naming no cause. A test asserts the two strings differ in
every offered locale, not only in English — one word for both facts is exactly
what a translator would produce if the ids did not already distinguish them.

And the plain listing was still English where the page beside it is not: "-- from
here:", "[archived]" and "[claimed]" were literals, so a German reader's text
alternative carried three English words their page does not. A mirror that answers
in a different language from the page is not a mirror.

ManyCapabilities and WideCatalogue duplicate the same IGameQueries double.

Both classes implement the same nine members, seven of which throw NotSupportedException, and both define an identical private Row helper apart from the facet value they vary. A third scenario will copy the block again, and a change to IGameQueries must then be applied in three places.

Extract one abstract base that implements SearchAsync over a Rows property and throws for the rest. Each scenario then supplies only its rows.

The review round added 55 ids and changed the English of five. All 764 are now
complete in German, Dutch, Japanese and Simplified Chinese.

Three things the translators decided that I had not thought to ask for.

All four independently refused to reuse the activity band's word for the crawler
strip. "live" and "quiet" there describe our crawler and not a game, so German
took Leerlauf over ruhig, Dutch wacht over stil and rustig, Chinese 空闲 over 冷清,
and Japanese 待機中 while explicitly rejecting 稼働 — the banned "up" register,
already pinned against 到達可能 elsewhere in the bundle. None of them was told
about that trap; each found it by reading what the corpus already said.

Chinese corrected the brief. I wrote 声明 for declared and 可达 for reachable in a
parenthetical, carried forward without checking; four earlier rounds had settled
on 自述 and 可连通, and it followed the corpus over the instruction and said so.

And the two absences stayed two in every language — keine Zählung / nicht gezählt,
geen telling / niet geteld, 計数なし / 読み取り不可, 无计数 / 未计数 — which is the
distinction the pair of ids exists to carry and the one a single word would have
quietly lost.

The rewritten leads no longer claim every fact is measured. They say each fact
names its provenance, keeping measured and declared as two words: "jede Tatsache
nennt ihre Herkunft", 标明它的来源.

Verified: 10 pages x 5 locales x 5 widths x 2 themes with no overflow and the
right lang on every document; 2,220 tests over five suites.

Two findings from CodeRabbit's re-review, both raised by the fixes before them.

`CellWidth` was added to report a screen's width in cells — two for a wide glyph,
none for a combining mark — and `Layout` beside it still advanced one column per
UTF-16 unit. Three disagreements: a screen of CJK wrapped after eighty runes,
which is a hundred and sixty cells; an astral rune counted twice, for the two
units it is stored in rather than the one glyph it draws; and a combining mark
claimed a cell it never draws in. Now a rune at a time, and a double-width glyph
that would straddle the right margin moves whole to the next line, which is what a
terminal does rather than splitting a character across the wrap.

That corrects two tests written this session against the old model. They asserted
a row of seventy-nine ASCII characters and one Han glyph is eighty-one cells —
which cannot be a row of an eighty-column terminal at all. The example came from
the finding and encoded an impossible screen; the assertions now use the widest
row that can exist, and a second case pins where the straddling glyph goes.

And the random-game empty state was still English under a localized preview. Its
sentence holds two links, so it is one message with two markers the page walks
rather than English glued round anchors — a language that wants the archive named
first, or a different preposition before each, writes that and the page follows.
The markers are private-use code points and the anchors are built here, so what a
bundle holds stays text: formatting anchors into the string and trusting them
through a MarkupString would make every translation a place to put a tag.

CodeRabbit caught both, and one of them is mine from this afternoon.

The cross-locale claim walked `Locales.All.Where(l => l.IsChoosable)`, and a locale
is not choosable until its bundle is complete — so the set is allowed to shrink to
English alone, and then a loop whose comment says "in every language" proves the
English pair differs from itself and passes. It now walks every locale the site has
a bundle for and asserts the set is bigger than one, so it cannot go quiet.

Proved it bites rather than assuming: collapsing `listing.count.none` onto
`state.notCounted` in the German bundle fails the test, and restoring it passes.
That is the exact mistake a translator would make and the reason the two ids exist.

The game page's in-page link sweep iterated the `href="#..."` matches and asserted
nothing when there were none. The page has them today; if it stops having them the
sweep should fail rather than become a test of nothing.

The locale is in the path so that it is linkable, shareable, cacheable and
indexable — and every link on the page threw it away. Each internal address was
written absolute and emitted verbatim, so /de/games rendered href="/games",
href="/about", href="/find". A reader who follows a shared /de/… link carries no
cookie, so the middleware could not send them back: their first click landed in
English, and a reader who chose German deliberately from an English-speaking
browser lost it immediately.

LocaleRouting.Link is the one place that answers it, called at the last thing
that touches an address before it becomes an attribute rather than at each of
the dozen producers — ListingLinks, FindScreen, the facet panel, the reference
library — because threading a locale through those would leave the next producer
to remember. It reads the locale off LocaleOf() and not off Request.PathBase:
the two agree on every request that arrives with a prefix and disagree on the
one that does not, where a page answered from the cookie would link to English
while reading German. Left exactly as they arrived: anything not starting with
'/' — a query-only "?plain=1", which means this page asked differently and is
relative to it on purpose — anything starting "//", and IsUnlocalized's set,
which is now shared rather than copied.

Ninety-one call sites across twenty-two components, plus the two plain-text
renderers: those print paths a reader types, follows or pastes, so they are
links in every sense that matters and carry the prefix too.

Three defects the markup could not show, all found by walking the site with no
cookie. "Surprise me" is in the nav of every page and answered /de/games/random
with Location: /g/eldertale. The theme control posted to /theme and came back
to /games, so a German reader lost German for preferring a light background.
And every reference article was "no reference page here" in every locale but
English: the page looked itself up by NavigationManager.Uri, whose local path
still carries the prefix the middleware had moved into PathBase.

Tests: a German page's every anchor and form action swept over eleven pages,
the source locale's absence of a prefix, the unlocalized set, a query-only
address, the plain surface, and the redirects. The sweep failed on all eleven
before this; the naive fix that prefixes everything fails nineteen of the
others. 905 pass.

There were two tiers: Shipped, which Accept-Language could reach and hreflang
named, and MachineTranslated, which had every word translated and was reachable
only by somebody who found the switcher. German, Dutch, Japanese and Chinese sat
in the second one, so a German browser was answered in English and the site
emitted no rel="alternate" at all — search engines had no idea the four existed.

The distinction was worth drawing while the site told readers about it. The notice
that did so was removed as unnecessary, and what was left was a promise the site
made to itself, paid for by four languages nobody could find. The gate that
matters survives and is now the only one: a locale is offered when its bundle
carries the locked glossary, which is a fact about the bundle rather than a claim
about who read it — the kind of gate the rest of this codebase keeps. All four
already satisfied it; every one of the 25 locked strings was translated.

Now: de-DE,de;q=0.9,en;q=0.8 lands on /de/games, and every page carries six
hreflang alternates including x-default. A review locale is still never offered —
nothing may send a reader to a pseudolocale by their browser's settings.

And the switcher is drawn in the site's own vocabulary rather than the platform's.
It was a native dropdown and a wide "change language" button: two heavy rectangles
in a footer that is otherwise text, in three different shades depending on the OS.
Now one hairline box holding the choice and its submit — the shape the search field
already taught the reader — with the nav's chevron for a caret and the search's
arrow to commit. `field-sizing: content` sizes it to the language in force rather
than to the longest name in the list, which had left the caret a hand's width from
its word.

Stripping `appearance` takes the platform's focus ring with it, so the ring is
drawn round the box and `select` joins the elements the house rule covers.

A reader with a locale cookie paid a redirect for the stylesheet, the script and
the touch icon on every page load. The unlocalized set was a list of paths, and
the stylesheet's path carries a content fingerprint — /app.gt0hup1p9v.css — which
changes whenever the bytes do, so no list could ever hold it.

Recognised by extension now. An allowlist rather than "the last segment has a
dot", because {Slug} is a route parameter and a game's slug is not this rule's to
make promises about; a game called foo.css would still be wrong, and wrong by one
missing prefix rather than by a 404, because a request that is not redirected
still reads its locale from the cookie.

The section's furniture answered every reader in English whatever they asked
for: the heading, the lede, the four section labels, the measured panels'
headings and prose, the client matrix's three state words, both table's column
headers, the empty states and the plain-text link. Fifty-one ids, appended as
one marked block so a parallel append merges rather than collides.

The articles themselves stay out of the bundle. A document is translated as a
document by the content layer, and a string in a bundle is not one — so this
renders whichever article the library hands it and puts no word of its own
inside it. The proof is the pseudo-locale: on /qps-ploc/reference every word
the site writes comes back bracketed and the article body comes back plain.

Three things worth naming:

- Protocol acronyms never reach a locale. MSSP, GMCP, TTYPE and the codebase
  and client names arrive as message arguments or sit in the markup, and a test
  walks every id this section owns in every choosable bundle to keep it so. A
  translated TTYPE is destroyed evidence rather than a localized string.
- The client matrix's "unknown" is its own id, distinct from the "no" beside it
  and from the game pages' measured capability words: it means we read the
  project's documentation and did not establish the answer, and a locale that
  let it collapse would publish our gap as the client's absence. The caveat
  quotes the word as an argument so the sentence and the cells cannot drift.
- "Measured, never asserted" and the protocol page's remainder caveat keep
  their distinctions as ids rather than as prose a translator can shorten.

Sentences.Place is one file where there were about to be two: a message that
places a link or an emphasis puts a private-use marker and the markup walks it,
so a translator writes text and no bundle is a place a tag can be put. The
random-game empty state moves onto it unchanged.

Tests assert the fact through Messages.For rather than the English wording,
which is what lets a translator choose a better word without editing a test.

The 39 articles were English in every locale, recorded as a deliberate boundary.
That decision is reversed: they are being translated, and this is where a
translation goes.

An article's translation lives at content/reference/<tag>/<same-name>.md and is
embedded beside the English. `ReferenceLibrary.For(tag)` hands out that locale's
documents with per-article fallback, so a missing translation is served in English
rather than withheld — a page in the wrong language still answers the question and
a missing one does not.

**A translation supplies prose and nothing else, by construction.** The document
handed out is the English record with only Title, Summary and Body replaced, so the
slug, the kind, the see-also graph, the home link and the protocol name always come
from one file in one language. A slug is a URL and a URL has one page; that is now
true because the code cannot express anything else, rather than because forty files
are asked to agree. A translator can write whatever they like in their front matter
and the routing will not notice.

The English pass ignores the locale directories by shape rather than by a list: the
file names carry dashes and never dots, so everything between `.reference.` and
`.md` is one segment for a source article and two for a translation. `zh-Hans`
survives that, its dash not being a separator here.

Proved before dispatching anybody: a German protocol-mssp served the German body,
an untranslated gmcp fell back to English, and the English article was unchanged.

The chrome agent could not compile against ReferenceLibrary.For — the loader was
uncommitted in my tree while it worked — so it did the right thing instead: it
reduced each page to exactly one place where the library is resolved, named the
call in a comment, and left everything round it already threading Tag. The switch
was one expression per file.

Verified end to end rather than assumed: /de/reference/codebases/aresmush serves
"AresMUSH ist der neueste weit verbreitete Server, der ausdrücklich auf gemeinsames
Rollenspiel setzt", and an article with no translation yet still answers in English
under the same chrome.

Seventy-eight articles, the whole section twice: 11,978 words each into German and
Dutch, by four translators working from the site's own 768-string bundle as their
glossary. The reference explains the vocabulary the interface uses, so where the
two could disagree the reference would be teaching a word the site does not say.

They held the distinctions the prose exists to draw. German kept "abgeleitet" for
the third provenance register and wrote "Tatsachen aus MSSP" rather than spend it
on a sentence about MSSP; Dutch did the same with "afgeleid" and reserved it for
lineage. Both rendered "checking that a game is up" without the banned register —
"ob ein Spiel antwortet" — because reachable is measured and up is not. Both kept
connect screen and login screen as two different things, which the English
distinguishes and a careless translation would merge.

The structural invariant is now a test rather than a promise. The loader already
makes it unbreakable at runtime — a translation supplies title, summary and body
and nothing else reaches a page — but the file on disk is what a person edits next,
and a front matter that disagrees with the English is a trap set for whoever reads
it later. The test walks the files, which is the only place the difference shows,
and it finds the repository root by walking up rather than by counting directories.

Proved it bites: pointing a German see-also at a different page fails it.

The owner dashboard and the claim flow were the last two page surfaces
written in English whatever language they were asked for. 118 ids, appended
in one marked block at the end of the English dictionary and mirrored into
Messages.resx; the four satellites are untouched, so every new id falls back
to English until the translation round.

The ids keep the distinctions the copy exists to make. An owner's answer is
DECLARED and never measured; a claim is a fact about our records and never a
measurement of the game; an opt-out is honoured rather than a deletion, and
the empty hours it leaves name no cause. Each is stated on the id so a
translator is briefed rather than guessing. The register stays second person,
because these pages address a game's operator directly.

Real ICU wherever something is interpolated: the co-owner line, the owner
count on the claim page and the transfer warning all agree inside the
message rather than by picking a branch in C#. Sentences that carry a link,
a code span or an emphasis place their own markers and the markup walks the
runs, so a bundle holds text and never a tag — RandomGame invented that and
kept it private, and it is now Sentence.Place with three callers.

Machine voice stays out: game names, the claim token, MSSP variables, the
DNS label, registry field names, the confirmation word the resign form
compares against, and the badge's own text — quoted from PlayerBadge now
rather than retyped, because a badge answers one address to everybody. The
claim page's accepted MSSP spellings come from ClaimTokenBeacon for the same
reason; it had listed two of the three by hand.

Found while rendering: Razor drops the whitespace on a line that opens a
code block, so three sentences ran together ("...not an hour of
reachability.If a line below..."). Each placed sentence now sits in its own
span. The dashboard also rendered game names bare, which GameName exists to
prevent.

Tests assert the fact through Messages.For rather than pasted English. The
outcome table gained the four §11 and listing arms that were added to
OwnerWrites and never to it — the exact omission its own remark describes.
Both pages get a pseudo-locale sweep on the state that renders the most of
them, and a German request is asserted to get German wherever German exists,
gated on HasOwn so it holds now and after the translations land.

927/927 pass.

…id not work

Seventy-eight more articles: the whole section again in Japanese and Simplified
Chinese. Four locales, 156 files, 48,000 words.

Chinese loaded none of them and nobody would have noticed. MSBuild builds a
manifest resource name out of the file's path and replaces what cannot appear in
an identifier, so content/reference/zh-Hans/ is embedded as …reference.zh_Hans.…
and a lookup spelled with the dash matched nothing. The articles were in the
assembly, correct and complete, and every Chinese page served the English — which
is precisely what the per-article fallback is for and precisely why it hid this.

German, Dutch and Japanese all worked. Three locales passing is the evidence that
conceals a fourth failing, so the tests name zh-Hans rather than iterating over
"a locale" and hoping the interesting one is in the list. Proved both bite by
putting the dash back: they fail, and only for zh-Hans.

The second test is the one that matters more. The loader falls back per article so
a gap is invisible on the page — right for a reader, wrong for us, because a file
that failed to be written would look exactly like a file nobody meant to write. It
now asserts every article differs from its English in every offered locale.

Japanese and Chinese made the same call the other two did, unprompted: MSSP-derived
facts became 「MSSPから得た事実」 and 来自 MSSP 的事实, keeping 導出 and 推算 for the
provenance register the site actually means. Both kept connect screen and login
screen apart, as the English does.

The sweep doc still said the reference articles were deliberately out of scope.
They are all translated now, so the section is rewritten — but kept as a record of
a decision rather than replaced, because the argument for it was sound and the
outcome was still wrong.

What it missed: the alternative was never "no translation", it was "the reference
is English for four readers out of five" — the section that exists to teach the
vocabulary the rest of the interface uses. A reader who cannot read the explanation
of measured versus declared is worse served by a careful silence than by a
translation somebody may later improve.

It now also records how the thing is arranged, including the trap: zh-Hans is named
explicitly in the tests because MSBuild replaces the dash in a manifest resource
name, and Chinese served English on every page while three other locales worked.

173 ids — the reference chrome, the owner's dashboard, the claim flow — complete
the set. All 937 are now translated into German, Dutch, Japanese and Simplified
Chinese, and with the 156 reference articles beside them the site has nothing left
that answers in English to a reader who asked for something else.

Each translator was handed its own reference articles as the register to match,
because the chrome frames that prose and the two reading as different translations
is the seam a reader notices first.

Three catches worth the record, none of them prompted:

Dutch refused the obvious verb for giving up a claim. "Opgeven" is the word six
rounds have locked to *declared*, so using it would have collided with the site's
first rule on the one page where an owner could be misled about what we publish
about them — "afstand doen van" instead, and a third word for a counter-claim
revoking an old one.

Japanese found a register seam I had not thought about: its reference articles are
ですます and the UI corpus is plain form. Rather than pick one and create a join, it
kept the chrome plain — it renders through the same templates as /about — and took
only terminology across.

Chinese rendered "measured, never asserted" as 实测,绝非断言, taking 断言 from its own
MSSP article rather than collapsing *asserted* into 自述, which stays reserved for
*declared*.

And German wrote a round-specific verifier rather than trusting the shared one: 118
owner-facing ids in Sie with none informal, 51 reference ids with none in second
person, and six deletion words each mirroring an English "deleted" — because on

Verified: 13 pages x 5 locales x 5 widths x 2 themes with no overflow and the right
lang on every document; 2,306 tests over five suites.
