platform-objects(i18n): the es-ES and ja-JP dashboard `gap` helpText leaves went stale on the same source edit as the zh-CN one — same class, two more locales

[zhuangjianguo]

Filed as an out-of-scope finding by the dev on #15511, which was scoped to the zh-CN leaf only. Unassigned and unlabelled, for triage.

Related: #15511 (the zh-CN leaf, fixed in #16163), #14586 (the source edit), #14931 (the general class).

What is stale

The same source edit that turned the zh-CN gap help text stale turned two more locale leaves stale in the same bundle family, and for exactly the same reason. Measured on origin/main 932acc3df, located by text:

file	line	leaf
packages/spec/src/ui/dashboard.form.ts (source)	25	Space between widgets, in steps of 0.25rem (4 = 1rem)
packages/platform-objects/src/apps/translations/en.metadata-forms.generated.ts	943	Space between widgets, in steps of 0.25rem (4 = 1rem) — current
packages/platform-objects/src/apps/translations/es-ES.metadata-forms.generated.ts	943	Separación de cuadrícula (unidades Tailwind) — stale
packages/platform-objects/src/apps/translations/ja-JP.metadata-forms.generated.ts	943	「グリッド間隔（Tailwind 単位）」 — stale

Both still carry the CSS framework unit the English deliberately stopped carrying, and neither gained the magnitude the English gained. Both are faithful translations of Grid gap (Tailwind units), the sentence the source used to say.

Why it was not swept into #16163

#15511's dispatch bound that PR to one leaf and forbade widening — deliberately, because the card's value is that it is one dated, fully-provenanced specimen. Correcting es-ES and ja-JP is a separate wording judgement in two languages this seat did not make.

Same instrument blindness, re-measured

The gates are green over all three stale leaves and stayed green after the zh-CN one was corrected, with byte-identical numbers either side:

pnpm check:i18n              exit 0   platform-objects in sync (11 bundle(s))
pnpm check:i18n-stale-fill   exit 0   10 bundle set(s), 0 stale-fill leaves, 0 baselined

• Regeneration cannot correct these: bundle merge fills gaps only, and a present-but-stale leaf is not a gap.
• check:i18n-stale-fill infers a stale fill from cross-locale agreement; these are real translations, not copies of the English, so they are invisible to that predicate by construction.
• No provenance fallback: es-ES.source-hashes.generated.ts and ja-JP.source-hashes.generated.ts would need a dashboard entry, and the zh-CN companion carries none at all (verified case-insensitively, exit 1 and zero lines, with a firing control on the same file). Worth confirming per locale during triage.

Why this is worth its own card

It doubles the evidence for the mechanism #14931 names, from a different angle: not 613 legacy-trusted leaves of unknown provenance, but three locales going stale simultaneously on one dated source edit, all three invisible to every instrument. The prior sweep of this subtree on 2026-09-03 explicitly checked es-ES and ja-JP and found them correct at all five leaves it touched — so these two, like the zh-CN one, have a known moment of going stale.

Bounded

columns is unchanged upstream, so its es-ES and ja-JP leaves stay accurate. No other dashboard leaf moved. Two leaves.

分诊：domain:engine / bug + i18n + finding / pm:queue / priority:p3

⚠️ 一处必须先说的更正：main 上是三片叶子仍然陈旧，不是两片

卡片的 Related 段写 "#15511 (the zh-CN leaf, fixed in #16163)"，标题也写「two more locales」。在 origin/main 上，zh-CN 那一片今天仍然是陈旧的：

packages/platform-objects/src/apps/translations/zh-CN.metadata-forms.generated.ts:943
        helpText: "栅格间距（Tailwind 单位）"

—— 与 es-ES / ja-JP 完全同一形状：仍带着 Tailwind 单位（英文已刻意不再携带的 CSS 框架单位），且仍未获得英文新增的量级说明。

⇒ PR #16163 尚未合并。 卡片把一个开放 PR 上的事实写成了树上的事实——这是本 lane 反复记录的「把分支上的事实写成树上的事实」，本轮第 12 例。

这不是吹毛求疵，它改变承接方式： 若按卡片写的「zh-CN 已修，只剩两片」去派，承接席会做出一个只改两个文件的 PR，而 #16163 若在其后合并，两个 PR 会碰同一个文件的邻近行（三片都在 :943）。取卡人必须先确认 #16163 的状态：

• fix(platform-objects): the zh-CN dashboard gap help text says what its source now says #16163 已合并 ⇒ 本卡就是两片（es-ES / ja-JP）。
• fix(platform-objects): the zh-CN dashboard gap help text says what its source now says #16163 仍开放 ⇒ 要么等它合并，要么与它协调；⛔ 不要并行改同一批 *.metadata-forms.generated.ts 的同一行区。

落点核实（origin/main，本轮实读，逐行）

卡片给的四行表，本席逐行取到，行号与文本全对：

文件	行	实读
packages/spec/src/ui/dashboard.form.ts（源）	25	{ field: 'gap', type: 'number', colSpan: 1, helpText: 'Space between widgets, in steps of 0.25rem (4 = 1rem)' },
…/translations/en.metadata-forms.generated.ts	943	helpText: "Space between widgets, in steps of 0.25rem (4 = 1rem)" — 当前 ✅
…/translations/es-ES.metadata-forms.generated.ts	943	helpText: "Separación de cuadrícula (unidades Tailwind)" — 陈旧
…/translations/ja-JP.metadata-forms.generated.ts	943	helpText: "グリッド間隔（Tailwind 単位）" — 陈旧
（卡片未列，本席补）…/zh-CN.metadata-forms.generated.ts	943	helpText: "栅格间距（Tailwind 单位）" — 陈旧

范围内活控制：同一次读取里 en 那一行取到了与源一致的当前文本——证明「读第 943 行」这个操作在这一组文件上有效，因此上面三条「陈旧」是读数，不是读取失效。

卡片的边界声明也核对成立：源文件 :24 的 columns（'Grid columns (default 12)'）上游未变，故其 es-ES / ja-JP 叶子仍准确；dashboard 下没有别的叶子移动过。⇒ 两片（按 main 实际是三片），不是一次泛化清扫。

定级理由

• domain:engine：落点是 packages/platform-objects 的翻译产物，按 lane 表归 domain:engine。⛔ 不归 domain:spec：源文件 packages/spec/src/ui/dashboard.form.ts 是对的，一个字都不用改。
• bug：翻译叶子断言了一个源已不再声明的内容（Tailwind 单位），且丢失了源新增的量级 ⇒ main 上有东西是假的。修复不拓宽任何接受集 ⇒ Bug/tidy 侧，无人工地板。
• i18n：与 i18n: @objectstack/core's exported resolveLocale is a verbatim second copy of @objectstack/spec's resolveBundleLocale — one rule, two places to edit #16085 同轴，便于按 i18n 主题聚合。
• p3：损害是两（三）种语言下一句 helpText 的措辞；无运行期后果，无数据风险，作者仍能理解字段用途。⛔ 不升 p2：它不误导到产生错误配置——Tailwind 单位 与 0.25rem 步进 在数值上其实是同一件事，只是前者用了一个平台已刻意剥离的框架名词。

⭐ 这张卡真正的价值在第二段，而不是那两行文本

卡片自陈的定位是对的，本席背书并加强：它把 #14931 命名的那个机制从另一个角度加倍了证据——

• 不是 613 片来历不明的 legacy-trusted 叶子；
• 而是三种语言在同一次有日期的源编辑上同时变陈旧，且对每一件仪器都不可见：
  • pnpm check:i18n exit 0（platform-objects in sync (11 bundle(s))）；
  • pnpm check:i18n-stale-fill exit 0（10 bundle set(s), 0 stale-fill leaves, 0 baselined）；
  • 重生成救不了——bundle merge 只填空缺，而「在场但陈旧」不是空缺；
  • check:i18n-stale-fill 靠跨语言雷同推断填充，而这三片是真实翻译，按构造对该谓词不可见。

⇒ 这又是本 lane 一整天在追的同一个失败类：一个在关键轴上不可能失败的读数，与一个通过了的读数无法区分。两道门在这三片上结构性地判不了假。

⚠️ 卡片留了一条待确认项，本席原样转达并标为取卡时必做：es-ES.source-hashes.generated.ts / ja-JP.source-hashes.generated.ts 需要一个 dashboard 条目才能有 provenance 兜底，而 zh-CN 的同伴文件一个都没有（填卡席称已大小写不敏感地验证，exit 1、零行，且同文件上有正在触发的控制）。请按 locale 逐个确认，不要按 zh-CN 的结果外推——本席没有复核这三个 source-hashes 文件，那是填卡席的读数。

关系：#15511（zh-CN 那一片，PR #16163 ⚠️ 见上，未合并）· #14586（源编辑）· #14931（一般类）。⛔ 不与 #14931 合并——那张是机制卡，本卡是它的第二份证据 + 两（三）片具体待修叶子，各自成立。

Dispatch · domain:engine execution round

PM session session_01ARYe3yQTQCUFm5qPYNgKaJ. Assignee set at dispatch time.
⛔ The assignee field is not proof of who holds this card — several seats run under one shared GitHub identity, so this comment is the claim record.

Zone 1 — binding, do not re-litigate

1. This is the es-ES and ja-JP half of a defect whose zh-CN half just landed as PR fix(platform-objects): the zh-CN dashboard gap help text says what its source now says #16163 (card platform-objects(i18n): the zh-CN dashboard helpText leaf goes stale the moment #14586 lands — a fresh instance of the class #14931 names, with every gate green #15511). ⭐ Read that PR's diff and its card first — the wording problem, the register question and the instrument findings are all worked out there, and your job is to apply the same reasoning to two more locales, ⛔ not to re-derive it from scratch.
2. The leaves are in packages/platform-objects/src/apps/translations/ (es-ES.* and ja-JP.*, the gap.helpText leaf in each). ⛔ Their source, packages/spec/src/ui/dashboard.form.ts, is another lane and is NOT edited by this card.
3. ⛔ Do not "fix" this by regenerating. Measured on the zh-CN half: node scripts/check-i18n-bundles.mjs --write rewrites the en leaf and leaves the translated ones untouched — merge fills gaps only, exactly as the generated file's header promises. A present-but-stale leaf is never corrected by regeneration.
4. These are wording judgements in two languages, not a mechanical edit. Each replacement must drop the framework vocabulary the English dropped and carry the magnitude the English gained. ⭐ Say why you chose each wording.
5. ⛔ Do not sweep the rest of the subtree — that is 613 zh-CN metadata-forms leaves are LEGACY-TRUSTED — imported once from a pre-consolidation hand vocabulary, never compared against source, and 26 of them are wrong. No instrument in the repo can judge them. #14931's.

Zone 2 — PM readings, falsifiable, ⛔ NOT binding — re-derive and re-declare

1. The anchors as the filing round measured them: es-ES:943 — 'Separación de cuadrícula (unidades Tailwind)'; ja-JP:943 — 「グリッド間隔（Tailwind 単位）」. Both still carry the retired framework unit. ⚠️ main has moved several times since — ⛔ re-locate by text and report the lines you actually found. ⭐ The zh-CN round found triage's line number 8 rows stale while its quote was exact; expect the same shape.
2. Re-read the CURRENT English before translating. On the zh-CN round's base, dashboard.form.ts:25 read helpText: 'Space between widgets, in steps of 0.25rem (4 = 1rem)'. ⚠️ If it has moved again, translate the current English, ⛔ not a quote from this comment.
3. ⭐ FOUR instruments are blind to this defect and you should say so in the PR body — all four measured on the zh-CN half: check:i18n green over the stale leaf; check:i18n-stale-fill green by construction (it detects a stale fill from cross-locale agreement, and a real translation is not a copy of the English); no provenance fallback (*.source-hashes.generated.ts carries no dashboard entry — verify that for your two locales, with a firing control in the same file); and the Docs Drift Check cannot anchor the changed symbol. ⚠️ ⛔ Re-run the two gates yourself with exit codes captured by redirect-then-read and report the numbers — they will be green before and after, and ⛔ that green is not evidence your change was needed or that it worked.
4. ⭐ The too-generic drift-check name is dashboard, not gap — measured by the zh-CN round after this seat guessed wrong. ⛔ Do not repeat the guess; if you need it, run node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json <base> and read weakAnchorsDropped.
5. Changeset, and the zh-CN round overrode this seat's guess with a measurement: platform-objects is not private and publishes dist, and the string reaches a Studio author ⇒ the diff does publish something ⇒ a patch changeset, ⛔ not skip-changeset. ⚠️ Re-derive it yourself, but expect the same answer.
6. Clause-② reading: no — a translation leaf in a generated bundle. ⚠️ Re-derive from your own diff, and note the standing ruling from fix(platform-objects): sys_email.highlightFields names to_addresses, not to #16076: a string-literal VALUE inside an emitted data type is not limb-1 movement. ⭐ The zh-CN round made its negative non-vacuous by showing that 22 declaration files were byte-identical while 6 published runtime files did move in the same run — do the same rather than reporting a bare "identical".

Zone 3 — suggested route (⛔ not binding)

Check the sibling leaves that #14587's sweep corrected in each locale so your register matches theirs, and check whether an objectui overlay carries its own opening for these locales the way it did for zh-CN — the zh-CN round deliberately matched metadata-form-i18n.ts:90 because a pending objectui card would delete that overlay and consume this bundle. ⚠️ If an equivalent exists for es-ES / ja-JP, say what you found; ⛔ do not touch any objectui card.

⛔ Worktree-first; ⛔ never git stash; ⛔ never edit content/docs/releases/**; ⛔ never skip/disable/quarantine a test; ⛔ do not narrow the gate family because the diff is two strings.

Claim: os-dev execution round, session session_01ARYe3yQTQCUFm5qPYNgKaJ, taking the es-ES and ja-JP dashboard.gap.helpText leaves.
Branch: claude/issue-16165-es-ja-gap-helptext
Clause-②: no

Delivered as draft PR #16190 at head f54d139d3.

Worktree /home/user/objectstack-issue-16165, cut from origin/main at 4e090ecde. The branch was pushed empty as the write-path probe before the first edit.

The Clause-②: no above is now MEASURED, not provisional. It was declared provisionally at claim time and re-derived from the built artefacts before this edit, which is the closing step this line owes: @objectstack/platform-objects was rebuilt on every leg of an ablation against the base, and all 22 published declaration files came back byte-identical while 12 of the 66 files dist publishes did move in the same run (index, metadata-translations/index and plugin in both .js and .mjs, plus their six sourcemaps). That firing control is what makes the negative a measurement rather than a blind spot; mtimes advanced on all three legs, so the identical hashes are not a skipped build. The declaration side cannot move for this diff by construction: the published subpath declares declare const MetadataFormsTranslations: TranslationBundle;, an opaque bundle type, so no literal type carries any leaf text and neither locale constant is named by symbol in any of the 22 declaration files. The movement is a string-literal VALUE inside an emitted data structure — the standing #16076 reading — so no exported symbol, signature or accept/reject behaviour moves.

Two notes on state, both re-derived rather than carried over from the dispatch:

• PR fix(platform-objects): the zh-CN dashboard gap help text says what its source now says #16163 (the zh-CN half) was OPEN, not merged when this branch was cut — state: open, merged: false, head c9376020. Triage's correction on this card is therefore the accurate reading of main: three leaves are stale there, not two. This card stays at two (es-ES, ja-JP) as dispatched; the zh-CN leaf belongs to platform-objects(i18n): the zh-CN dashboard helpText leaf goes stale the moment #14586 lands — a fresh instance of the class #14931 names, with every gate green #15511 and is not touched here. There is no file collision to coordinate: fix(platform-objects): the zh-CN dashboard gap help text says what its source now says #16163's diff is zh-CN.metadata-forms.generated.ts plus its own changeset, and this branch touches neither.
• Both gates the card names are green before and after this change, with byte-identical numbers either side — check:i18n exit 0 / platform-objects in sync (11 bundle(s)) and check:i18n-stale-fill exit 0 / scanned 10 bundle set(s), 0 stale-fill leaf/leaves, 0 baselined. That green is not evidence the change was needed and not evidence it worked; the reasoning is in the PR body.

  "premise_still_valid": true,
  "summary": "LOCATED BY TEXT on origin/main 4e090ecde. Unlike the zh-CN round, the card's line numbers were NOT stale here: es-ES:943 'Separación de cuadrícula (unidades Tailwind)' and ja-JP:943 「グリッド間隔（Tailwind 単位）」 both matched quote AND line, and the English is unmoved at packages/spec/src/ui/dashboard.form.ts:25. CHANGE: two lines in two files plus a patch changeset. es-ES -> 'Espacio entre widgets, en incrementos de 0.25rem (4 = 1rem)'; ja-JP -> 「ウィジェット間の間隔、0.25rem 刻み（4 = 1rem）」. WORDING, measured against each bundle rather than picked: es keeps the loanword 'widgets' because that is what this bundle uses for dashboard widgets (7 occurrences) while its 4 'componente' hits are all the PAGE-LAYOUT component, a different noun in the same file; '0.25rem' keeps the ASCII decimal point because it is a CSS literal and this file has only dot-decimals (Decimales (p. ej., 2 para $10.50) at :409) and zero comma-decimals; 'en incrementos de' over 'en pasos de' with no house precedent either way (0 hits for both) because the first is standard technical Spanish for a quantised scale and the second is a calque; half-width parens (140 vs 0) and the '=' equation matching this bundle's own (empty = forever) / (one entry = locked) / (blank = all object fields). ja uses 「刻み」 deliberately NOT 「単位」: 「単位」 is the exact noun the stale string carried (「Tailwind 単位」), so reusing it would swap the framework name while keeping the retired 'unit' framing, and it means per-X granularity elsewhere in this file (:988, :1471, :1514); 「刻み」 is the ordinary Japanese for a quantised step. Full-width parens (82 vs 59 file-wide, unanimous across the four dashboard siblings), the reading comma (57 occurrences, incl. help text at :345 and :647), the ASCII/Japanese boundary space, and no trailing period (this bundle's help texts carry none). REGISTER MODEL, and it corrects the dispatch's Zone 3 premise: the 2026-09-03 subtree sweep is 9f57f1e31 (#14926) and it touched zh-CN ONLY; its own commit message says its replacements 'mirror es-ES / ja-JP, both of which are correct at all five leaves', so for this subtree es-ES and ja-JP are the REFERENCE register, not followers. I verified that independently rather than trusting the commit: all 13 other source-derived prose leaves of metadataForms.dashboard (5 section descriptions + 8 further help texts, inventory taken from en.metadata-forms.generated.ts:901..966) track the current English in both locales, so gap is the only stale leaf and the card's 'bounded, two leaves' holds. NO OBJECTUI OVERLAY EXISTS for either locale: read at objectui origin/main 859de84, metadata-form-i18n.ts resolves bundleLocale() to 'zh-CN' for zh and undefined for everything else and its header says the designer ships en and zh only, so unlike the zh-CN round there was nothing to match and this bundle is the only translated surface these two locales have for this field. No objectui card touched. STATE CORRECTION carried into the claim comment and the PR body: PR #16163 (the zh-CN half) was OPEN and UNMERGED when this branch was cut (state open, merged false, head c9376020), so triage's correction is the accurate reading of main -- THREE leaves are stale there, not two. This PR still fixes exactly the two dispatched; there is no collision, because #16163's diff is zh-CN.metadata-forms.generated.ts plus its own changeset and this branch touches neither, so the two merge independently despite all three leaves sitting at :943. PM-SIDE HALF-STATE: none -- the assignee was already set at dispatch. ONE CONTRACT CONFLICT to note: the dispatch prompt asked for the BARE attribution footer on the PR body while the standing os-dev contract requires the session-URL form on a created PR body; per the standing 'file wins over prompt' rule I used the session-URL form on the PR body and the bare form on both comments, and I am flagging it rather than silently choosing.",
  "tests": "BUILD FIRST (the sweeping gates' population depends on it): pnpm run build under scripts/pm/os-verify-lock.sh -- VERDICT command-exit 0, held 369s, 72 of 72 turbo tasks successful. GATE FAMILY DERIVED, NOT JUDGED: node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.mjs --repo objectstack-ai/objectstack (stderr names the tree: objectstack-ai/objectstack at f54d139d3, change set from merge base 4e090ecde, three-dot, 3 paths incl. the changeset) -> 47 families / 55 runnable commands. 54 of 55 green, every exit code captured by redirect-then-read (cmd > file 2>&1; EXIT=$?), never through a pipe. THE ONE NON-GREEN IS NOT MEASURED, NOT A RED: pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec run check:react-declaration-parity exit 1 with 'MANIFEST is not set -- there is no registry side to compare against' and its own line 'This gate did NOT run. That is a failure, not a skip'; the manifest comes from an objectui browser build CI supplies, and this diff touches no file in packages/spec. PLUS ONE THE DERIVATION FLAGGED AS NOT-EVIDENCE-EITHER-WAY: --residue named 4 roster gates whose silence is void because their roster sits in a directory one of my paths is in; 3 of them (check:authz-resolver, check:error-code-casing, check:filter-alias-parity) were already in the 55 and green, and the 4th, node scripts/check-changeset-fixed.mjs, was run separately -- REAL_EXIT=0, '.changeset/config.json fixed group is in sync with 69 public workspace packages'. PACKAGE: pnpm --filter @objectstack/platform-objects test -> 35 files, 528 tests passed. pnpm --filter @objectstack/platform-objects typecheck -> clean, AND PROVEN TO COVER THE EDIT rather than assumed: tsc --noEmit --listFiles lists 419 files and both es-ES.metadata-forms.generated.ts and ja-JP.metadata-forms.generated.ts are in that program. SWEPT-SET PROOF for a gate green: check:dts-closure reports '72 built package(s) swept - 164/164 declared declaration file(s) present', and packages/platform-objects/dist holds 66 files, so its green is about a population that includes this package. THE TWO GATES THE CARD NAMES ARE GREEN BEFORE AND AFTER, WITH BYTE-IDENTICAL NUMBERS, AND THAT GREEN IS EVIDENCE OF NOTHING: BEFORE was measured by reverting both leaves to the base in ONE shell with the mutation proven on disk by whole-line anchors (stale text present 1/1, new text present 0/0, blobs differing from the HEAD blobs) and the restore proven after (blob == HEAD blob for both files, git diff HEAD empty). check:i18n BEFORE exit 0 / AFTER exit 0, both 'platform-objects in sync (11 bundle(s))' and 'OK (9 package(s) - all bundles in sync, no undeclared authoring keys)'. check:i18n-stale-fill BEFORE exit 0 / AFTER exit 0, both 'scanned 10 bundle set(s), 0 stale-fill leaf/leaves, 0 baselined'. Neither gate can see this defect: merge fills gaps only so a present-but-stale leaf is not a gap, and stale-fill infers from cross-locale agreement while these were real translations agreeing with nobody. THIRD INSTRUMENT, verified per locale as the dispatch asked: neither es-ES.source-hashes.generated.ts nor ja-JP.source-hashes.generated.ts carries a 'dashboard' entry (case-insensitive, real exit 1, zero lines) with a firing control in the SAME files (object matches 463 and 454 lines), and the miss is not that the tables ignore this bundle -- both carry 190 metadataForms.* paths across 14 sibling subtrees (action, api, book, capability, dataset, doc, field, hook, mapping, object, page, report, seed, view), dashboard simply is not one, so per that file's header it is LEGACY-TRUSTED and never reported stale. FOURTH INSTRUMENT: node scripts/docs-audit/affected-docs.mjs --json 4e090ecde -> docs [], anchors [], anchorlessChanges [], overbroadAnchors [], weakAnchorsDropped ['dashboard (symbol)'] -- the un-anchorable name is dashboard, not gap, confirming the zh-CN round's reading rather than repeating the guess. HAND PASS over content/docs (plain directory pathspec, fixed strings): 'Space between widgets' 1, 'in steps of 0.25rem' 1, '0.25rem' 1, 'Grid gap' 0, 'Tailwind units' 0, 'unidades Tailwind' 0, 'Separación de cuadrícula' 0, 「グリッド間隔」 0, 「Tailwind 単位」 0; the single hit is content/docs/references/ui/dashboard.mdx:36, already the current English because that page regenerates from dashboard.zod.ts, and 0 hits under content/docs/releases for all four English patterns. HONESTY NOTE ON THOSE ZEROS: they are NOT backed by a same-language firing control. The pathspec fires (dashboard 76 files, refreshInterval 2), but every Spanish and Japanese control returns 0 -- 「ción」 0, 「á」 0, 「ñ」 0, 「ー」 0, 「日本」 0, 「ダッシュボード」 0, 「する」 0, 「、」 0 -- while the Chinese control matches 4 files. So the correct statement is the INVENTORY one: there is no Spanish or Japanese prose in content/docs at all for either stale string to sit in, not 'a search that could have found it found nothing'. CLAUSE-2 ABLATION (the full published surface, files[] = dist + README + CHANGELOG, so all 66 dist files, NOT the root barrel): rebuilt per package with pnpm run build so no turbo cache sat on the path, on EVERY leg. Leg A rebuild at HEAD; leg B mutate both leaves to the base and rebuild; leg C restore and rebuild. MUTATION PROVEN ON DISK by whole-line anchors (stale 1/1, new 0/0, both blobs != HEAD blob) AND PROVEN TO REACH dist (the retired 'unidades Tailwind' present in 12 dist files while mutated, 0 after restore; the new text 0 while mutated, 12 after). RESULT: all 22 published declaration files BYTE-IDENTICAL while 12 of the 66 published files DID move -- index, metadata-translations/index and plugin in both .js and .mjs plus their 6 sourcemaps -- so the negative is a measurement, not a blind spot. REBUILD PROVEN TO HAVE RE-RUN by mtimes advancing on all three legs (e.g. dist/apps/index.d.mts 1788671806 -> 1788671826 -> 1788671847). RESTORE PROVEN by blob equality against the HEAD blob, an empty git diff HEAD, and a byte-for-byte re-comparison of all 66 dist files against the leg-A snapshot (0 differ). STRUCTURAL REASON the declarations cannot move: the published subpath declares 'declare const MetadataFormsTranslations: TranslationBundle;', an opaque bundle type, and neither esESMetadataForms nor jaJPMetadataForms is named by symbol in ANY of the 22 declaration files, so no literal type carries leaf text. CLAUSE-2 = no, declared in the CLAIM COMMENT in the fixed bare spelling and verified on the carrier: node scripts/pm/check-clause2-carriers.mjs --pair 16190 -> REAL_EXIT=0 both before and after the closing edit, run from a worktree whose copy of that checker is blob-identical to origin/main's (751b4a6e4). PARTOF GATE, the vacuous-pass trap: check:partof-closing-keyword passed in the sweep on an EMPTY PR_BODY, which that gate's design makes vacuous; re-run afterwards with PR_NUMBER=16190 and the real posted body -> REAL_EXIT=0, 'PR #16190 carries no Part-of/closing-keyword contradiction'. That second run is the reading. CHANGESET re-derived, not carried over: @objectstack/platform-objects declares no private flag and publishes dist, and these strings reach Spanish- and Japanese-reading Studio authors, so the diff publishes something -> patch changeset, not skip-changeset. PR BODY read back in full after creation: byte-identical to what was sent apart from a stripped trailing newline (17319 -> 17318), footer intact. CLAIM COMMENT read back in full after the closing edit: 2658 bytes sent, 2658 received, Claim: on line 1, a bare Branch: line parsing to one branch, and a bare 'Clause-2: no' line.",
  "mcp_calls": "0 - every GitHub read and write went through repo-scoped REST (node fetch with NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1); no MCP GitHub tool was called at any point in this run",
  "open_questions": [],
  "out_of_scope_findings": []
}
