- **Paired sibling files with equal authority.** A documentation pair is three sibling files: English `foo.md`, Chinese `foo.zh.md`, and a consistency record `foo.i18n.yaml`. Neither language is canonical — a document may be authored and reviewed Chinese-first and translated to English afterwards, or the reverse; what binds the pair is that both sides must say the same thing, and pairs merge whole (both languages plus the record, never one alone). Policy: [docs/i18n/README.md](../../../../docs/i18n/README.md); translation rules: [docs/i18n/translation-rules.md](../../../../docs/i18n/translation-rules.md); terminology source of truth: [docs/i18n/terminology.md](../../../../docs/i18n/terminology.md).

- **A sidecar record of both blob hashes makes consistency checkable.** `foo.i18n.yaml` holds the full git blob hash of each side as of the last confirmed-consistent state. An edit to either side without re-confirming the pair is then mechanically detectable as a pure content comparison — no history lookup — and the hashes are computable for files edited in the same PR, which a commit-hash record is not. Re-recording (`verify-translation-pairing --write`) produces a reviewable yaml diff: confirming consistency is an explicit, visible act in the PR.

- **`verify-translation-pairing` joins `doc-sync`.** The gate ([scripts/verify-translation-pairing.ts](../../../../scripts/verify-translation-pairing.ts)) enforces: required pairs exist, every existing pair is complete (all three files) and consistent (both hashes match, switcher links both ways, structural signatures identical), excluded (generated or bilingual-by-construction) files stay unpaired, and date-named documents on or after the manifest's `requiredSince` cutoff have complete pairs. The `required` list in [scripts/translation-pairing.manifest.json](../../../../scripts/translation-pairing.manifest.json) is a ratchet: each merged translation batch adds its files, so coverage only grows.

+- **The enforcement frontier advances in coherent review batches.** A related set enters `required` only when reviewers can evaluate it as a unit. The core frontier groups [architecture](../../../../docs/architecture.md), the [Cordis primer](../../../../docs/cordis-primer.md), [defensive patterns](../../../../docs/defensive-patterns.md), the [glossary](../../../../docs/glossary.md), and [testing](../../../../docs/testing.md) because their terminology, links, and contributor contracts inform one another; admitting only part would leave the enforced corpus internally inconsistent. A site-published pair uses `pairedPages()` so the root locale projects `.zh.md` and `/en/` projects `.md`; creating a counterpart alone does not publish it.
|
|
|
+- **Pairing records are metadata, not Cordis Loader configuration.** Cordis configuration discovery accepts actual `.cordis.yml` and `.cordis.yaml` files while excluding `*.i18n.yaml`, even when the document name contains `cordis`. This preserves validation of executable Loader entries without parsing translation hashes as configuration.

- **Translation is agent work with human review.** The committed workflow is [.agents/skills/dsh-translate-docs](../../../skills/dsh-translate-docs/SKILL.md), following the same pattern as [dsh-code-review](../../../skills/dsh-code-review/SKILL.md): the skill carries the workflow and defers to the docs as sources of truth. The skill directs the orchestrating agent to delegate translation writing to a subagent.

+The verification contract covers each boundary independently. `verify-translation-pairing` pins pair completeness, hashes, switchers, and structure; [`project-doc-site.spec.ts`](../../../../scripts/project-doc-site.spec.ts) pins locale-specific source selection for published pairs; [`cordis-config-files.spec.ts`](../../../../scripts/cordis-config-files.spec.ts) pins discovery of Loader YAML and exclusion of translation records; and the [translation-prompt runnable snapshot](../../../../scripts/translation-prompt.snapshot.ts) pins the rendered system message, five reviewed example pairs, source request, and consumed response. Together these checks make pair drift, publication drift, configuration misclassification, and model-visible prompt drift review-visible.

- **English as the canonical source with a fingerprint inside the translation** — the design first proposed for this Agent Note: `.zh.md` files carried an HTML comment recording the English source's blob hash, and translation flowed EN → ZH only. Revised in review: the team wants Chinese-first authoring (write and review a Chinese Agent Note, then translate to English) with the two languages holding equal authority, which a one-directional canonical model cannot express. The sidecar record covering BOTH sides replaced the in-file one-directional fingerprint; the blob-hash mechanics survived unchanged.
