Header.tsx has a disabled dev-console button inside a JSX comment and
IntegrationsSettings has a commented-out section literal. Four hits in
officer-web, all of them code nobody ships — and an area cannot reach zero while
a comment counts against it.
Only two shapes stripped, both unambiguous: block comments, and lines whose first
non-space characters are //. Stripping every // would eat the tail of any string
holding a URL. Verified the delta is exactly those four.
The area reached zero convertible strings, so it goes in ZEROED and the scanner's
--check now fails if a future feature reintroduces one. Verified both ways: exit 1
naming the string and file when one is added, exit 0 when it is gone.
Enabled per area rather than globally, as the doc says — officer-web and
officerdev are still at 559 and 578, and would be red for weeks.
The --check guard compared an area's whole hit count against zero, including
'thrown errors' — which the doc's never-translate list forbids converting. An
area holding one legitimate new Error() could therefore never be added to
ZEROED, so the debt guard could never be switched on for it at all. Categories
now carry neverTranslate, are still reported, and are excluded from --check.
Also drops sonner's 'group-[.toast]:text-muted-foreground', matched as an object
label. The filter tests per token rather than per string: the first attempt
tested the whole string and ate a real label, 'Application type:'.
--check now prints the offending strings and files instead of only a count.
not built. an execution plan written to be handed to an agent who did
not have the conversation, so it carries the reasons and not just the
steps.
what it found: there is already a hand-rolled i18n package with typed
keys, two catalogs and 46 keys — and exactly three components using it.
against 884 distinct hardcoded strings across 436 files. so the system
is not missing, it is 5% deployed, and that gap is the job.
the decisions worth arguing with are D1 and D6. D1: the server should
never emit user-facing prose, it returns a stable code and the UI owns
every word — with the trap that a code must not leak more than the prose
did, or a deliberately vague 403 becomes an enumeration oracle. D6:
catalogs per workspace rather than one file, because one 900-key en.json
is a merge conflict on every parallel edit.
the scanner reproduces the numbers in the doc and doubles as the guard
once an area reaches zero.
