- **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 <pair>`, which requires naming the confirmed pairs — bulk re-record is an explicit `--write --all`) 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: every discovered, non-excluded source has a complete pair; every existing pair is complete (all three files) and consistent (both hashes match, the Chinese side and every authored English source carry their switchers while listed generated English sources are exempt, structural signatures identical); and excluded generated, instruction, or bilingual-by-construction files stay unpaired. Relative document links whose targets belong to that active corpus use the target sibling matching the source locale, while the structure signature normalizes `.md` and `.zh.md` siblings to one semantic target and retains the exact query/fragment suffix; the [localized bilingual links decision](2026-08-18-localized-bilingual-links.md) owns that refinement. [scripts/translation-pairing.manifest.json](../../../../scripts/translation-pairing.manifest.json) contains only explicit exclusions, so no requirement can bypass discovery and receive a weaker check. Source-oriented code gates consume a `.zh.md` fence sequence as a derivative only when its unsuffixed sibling has the same tracked fences in the same order with byte-identical bodies; an incomplete, reordered, reclassified, or changed sequence stays independent, so the owning code gate or pairing gate reports the mismatch.

-- **One corpus-wide requirement.** Every document in scope requires a complete pair from creation; the policy has no per-file rollout state, date cutoff, or README-specific class. README discovery covers every case-insensitive README basename outside vendored, dependency, and ignored build-output trees, including future top-level directories. 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.

+- **One corpus-wide requirement.** Every document in scope requires a complete pair from creation; the policy has no per-file rollout state, date cutoff, or README-specific class. Repository-root policy documents are named explicitly: `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `BRAND_GUIDELINES.md`, and `SAFETY.md` participate in the same discovery and pairing rules even though they are outside documentation directories. README discovery covers every case-insensitive README basename outside vendored, dependency, and ignored build-output trees, including future top-level directories. 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.** Routine changes use the direct one-pass path owned by the [lightweight-translation decision](2026-08-08-lightweight-routine-documentation-translation.md). The [extended translation skill](../../../skills/dsh-translate-docs/SKILL.md) retains delegated translation and the other heavier mechanisms for explicit user invocation; both paths defer to the documentation contracts as their sources of truth.

## Verification

|
|

|
-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.
