Reverse i18n sweep: ~384 confirmed-dead locale keys across 58 namespaces (workflow/BPMN designer entirely unwired, console.objectView oversized, more)

Follow-up to #4658, which deleted five specific dead keys
(console.objectView.striped/bordered/virtualScroll,
appDesigner.stripedRows/bordered) and, per that card's dispatch ruling,
built the general-purpose tool: scripts/check-i18n-dead-keys.mjs, a
report-only reverse sweep (pack key set minus referenced key set, reusing
check-i18n-call-site-keys.mjs's own AST walk plus a whole-repo text
safety net — see that script's header for the full mechanism). This card
records what running it over the rest of the pack found, since #4658's own
scope was five specific keys and this is clearly bigger than that.

What was measured

node scripts/check-i18n-dead-keys.mjs on top of #4658's PR (2927 pack keys,
13776 referenced):

626 candidate(s) with no call site this pass can see, across 58 namespace(s):
384 CONFIRMED (no textual footprint anywhere else in the repo either),
242 NEEDS-REVIEW (literal key string appears somewhere else in the repo —
     an indirect reference the AST pass cannot see, e.g. a `labelKey:
     'appDesigner.layoutSidebar'` property consumed through a variable).

The NEEDS-REVIEW tier is doing real work — appDesigner itself has 20
CONFIRMED but 34 NEEDS-REVIEW, because AppCreationWizard.tsx builds several
of its labels through exactly that indirect labelKey: pattern, invisible to
a literal-argument AST walk but caught by the text safety net. That tier is
NOT part of this card's claim; only CONFIRMED entries below were spot-checked
enough to report with confidence.

The two largest, spot-verified instances

workflow.* — 54 of 58 keys CONFIRMED dead (the other 4 are test-fixture
mentions only, in ellipsis-glyph-3878.test.ts and
untranslated-identity-4376.test.ts — not consumers). This is an entire
BPMN/workflow-designer vocabulary (boundaryEvent, serviceTask,
parallelGateway, userTask, signalEvent, timerEvent, joinGateway,
addNode, undo/redo, exportBpmn/importBpmn, …) with zero i18n
integration at its plausible consumer:
packages/plugin-designer/src/ProcessDesigner.tsx hardcodes English directly
({ label: 'User Task', value: 'user-task' }, handleAddNode('start-event', 'Start'), …) and imports no translation hook at all — no useTranslation,
no useObjectTranslation, nothing. Either the component predates i18n
integration and was never wired up, or the designer this vocabulary was
written for was replaced by ProcessDesigner.tsx's hardcoded-English version
without the old labels being cleaned up. Either way: 58 keys × 10 packs =
580 translated strings with no reader anywhere in the repo.

console.objectView.* — 116 of 154 keys CONFIRMED dead, on top of the
three #4658 already removed. This namespace backs the object-view
configuration surface (ViewConfigPanel.tsx et al.), and a working subset of
it clearly IS live (new, save, cancel, viewType*, the create-view
dialog fields — anything CreateViewDialog.tsx / ObjectView.tsx /
ViewConfigPanel.tsx call t() for directly). But the CONFIRMED 116 include
keys naming spec fields that are very much still active — rowActions,
inlineEdit, hiddenFields, filterableFields are current (non-retired)
ListViewSchema properties per
packages/types/src/zod/objectql.zod.ts:396-402 — with no i18n-labelled UI
control anywhere that lets an author toggle them. That reads as a much larger
"config surface scaffolded ahead of the settings panel that would expose it"
gap than #4658's narrow "three keys the upstream retirement killed" framing,
worth its own investigation into whether console.objectView's intended
settings panel exists partially, was never finished, or was descoped without
a matching i18n cleanup.

Other namespaces worth a look (CONFIRMED / NEEDS-REVIEW, from the same run)

Namespace	Confirmed	Needs-review
`console.objectView`	116	38
`workflow`	54	4
`publicForm.demo`	36	0
`appDesigner`	20	34
`configPanel`	16	0
`renderer`	13	0
`table`	10	2
`report`	10	1
`search`	9	0
`form`	8	2

publicForm.demo (36/36 confirmed, spot-checked: zero hits anywhere for
publicForm.demo.* outside the locale packs) looks like scaffolded demo-form
content for a public-form showcase page that was never built, or was removed
without its i18n keys.

Suggested scope for whoever picks this up

Re-run node scripts/check-i18n-dead-keys.mjs for the current CONFIRMED
list (it will have drifted since this card's measurement) and work through it
namespace by namespace — workflow and publicForm.demo look safe to bulk
delete on the same evidence standard #4658 used (zero call sites, zero
textual footprint, a spot-checked plausible consumer that confirms no i18n
wiring exists). console.objectView needs a product decision first: is the
ListViewSchema-backed settings panel meant to exist, in which case this is
a missing-feature card, not a dead-key card.

Whether to red-ify `check-i18n-dead-keys.mjs`

Explicitly deferred by #4658's own ruling — it stays report-only
(--strict exists but nothing calls it). This card's data point: 242/626
(38.7%) of a naive AST-only candidate list would have been wrong without the
text safety net, which is the measured argument for keeping this a
human-triaged report rather than a red gate for now. A gate could reasonably
enforce "every CONFIRMED-tier candidate needs an explicit allowlist entry or
deletion" once the current backlog is worked down, since NEEDS-REVIEW already
filters out the indirect-reference class that would otherwise make it noisy.

Findings triage (first grade, PM session session_01RnQd8iMMUwXQEV1crFmQiQ): HOLD — finding stands, with a named fork that must be settled before any deletion sweep dispatches.

The 384 confirmed candidates are not one class. At least two namespaces hide a direction question, not a deletion backlog: workflow.* (54 keys) traces to ProcessDesigner.tsx hardcoding English with no translation hook — the honest fix there may be localizing the surface (making the keys live) rather than deleting them; and console.objectView.* includes keys for currently-active ListViewSchema fields with no labelled UI control — same question one layer down. Deleting keys for surfaces that arguably should consume them buries the localization debt the keys document. That localize-vs-delete call is product/UX direction, not mechanical triage.

Restart conditions: ① a direction ruling on the localize-vs-delete fork for the two named namespaces (decision-box candidate if the maintainer wants it; otherwise the next i18n-focused planning pass); ② the mechanically-safe remainder (namespaces with no plausible live surface, e.g. publicForm.demo.* at 36/36 confirmed with zero footprint) can be carved into its own queue card without waiting for ①; ③ the sweep report from check-i18n-dead-keys.mjs regenerates the full list on demand — no staleness risk in holding.

Carve-out dispatched (repo:objectui PM seat, session session_01RnQd8iMMUwXQEV1crFmQiQ): the two spot-verified namespaces (workflow.*, publicForm.demo.*) are now #4742, dispatched under the #4658 evidence standard. This umbrella card stays open for:

console.objectView.* — maintainer decision (already in the decision box): 116 CONFIRMED-dead keys naming active ListViewSchema properties (rowActions, inlineEdit, hiddenFields, filterableFields) read as "config surface scaffolded ahead of a settings panel that was never finished." Fork: (a) the settings panel is intended → this is a missing-feature card and the keys stay; (b) it was descoped → the namespace joins the deletion queue. No default applied — the answer decides between deleting 116 translated strings ×10 locales and specifying a feature.
The smaller CONFIRMED namespaces (configPanel 16, renderer 13, table 10, report 10, search 9, form 8, …) — not yet spot-verified; each needs the same consumer spot-check before it can join a deletion card. This seat will grade them in a later round or fold them into Delete the two spot-verified dead i18n namespaces: workflow.* (54 keys) and publicForm.demo.* (36 keys) across the ten packs #4742's successor once the standard is re-applied.

Second carve-out dispatched + remaining-namespace spot-check results (repo:objectui PM seat, session session_01RnQd8iMMUwXQEV1crFmQiQ):

Delete the dead configPanel.* (~16 keys) and renderer.* (~13 keys) i18n namespaces across the ten packs #4746 dispatched: configPanel.* (16 keys) + renderer.* (13 keys), both spot-checked today at whole-namespace level — zero t() call sites each; no *ConfigPanel* component exists anywhere in packages/*/src; the renderer.* English strings have no hardcoded twin either (the stronger form of dead — the messages left the product entirely).
search.* is partially live — 7 t() call sites in SearchResultsPage.tsx (search.back/title/placeholder, …). Its 9 CONFIRMED entries are a key-level trim inside a live namespace, not a namespace deletion; lower value, held for a later batch with table (10/2), report (10/1), form (8/2), appDesigner (20/34 — heavy indirect-reference tier).
Umbrella remains open for: console.objectView.* maintainer decision (in the decision box), and the key-level trims above.

State normalization + escalation (triage seat): finding → needs-user-decision. The mechanical namespaces are already carved out and delivered/dispatched (#4742: workflow.* + publicForm.demo.*; #4746: configPanel.* + renderer.*), and the key-level trims are seat work. What remains on this umbrella is a genuine open decision the prior seat explicitly deferred to the maintainer, so the card now carries the inbox label instead of sitting invisible in the findings pool.

The decision: console.objectView.* — 116 confirmed-dead keys that name ACTIVE ListViewSchema properties (rowActions, inlineEdit, hiddenFields, filterableFields).

(a) The object-view settings panel exposing these is intended product → keep the keys, file the missing-feature card;
(b) it was descoped → the namespace joins the deletion queue (116 strings × 10 locales).

Four-prism block:

Platform long-term coherence — (b) removes a scaffold that documents nothing the product does; (a) is only coherent if the panel is actually on the roadmap — half-kept keys are the worst state.
Measured business pull — zero call sites today; no user or QA report asks for the panel. Pull for (a) is speculative.
AI-agent error-resistance — dead keys actively mislead agents (they read as evidence a surface exists); deletion is the error-resistant state, and the sweep tool regenerates the list on demand if the panel is ever built.
Startup scope discipline — (b) is remove-over-maintain; (a) commits to specifying and building a settings panel. Recommendation: (b) delete, re-authoring keys alongside the panel if/when it is specified.

⛔ RULED 2026-08-19 — (b), the `console.objectView` namespace joins the deletion queue

Maintainer, via the 27-card decision-inbox review, verbatim: 「全部接受」 (recorded on this card by session_01KspKtTajJmy3J37UhH8tcH).

Ruled:

The console.objectView.* confirmed-dead keys (× 10 locales) are deleted under the Dead locale strings: console.objectView.striped/bordered/virtualScroll and appDesigner.stripedRows/bordered have no call site in any of the ten packs #4658 evidence standard.
The hypothesized settings panel is not on the roadmap. Keeping keys for it is speculative scaffolding, and half-kept keys are the worst state — they mislead agents into believing a surface exists.
⚠️ The keys naming still-active ListViewSchema properties — rowActions, inlineEdit, hiddenFields, filterableFields — delete with the rest. This is the part a careful dev will want to spare, so it is spelled out: a live schema property is not a consumer of a locale string; only a labelled UI control is. ⛔ Do not carve them out.
On record for the future: if such a panel is ever specified, its keys are re-authored alongside it — the sweep regenerates the inventory cheaply, so deleting today costs nothing then.

⛔ Option (a) (the panel is intended → keep the keys, file a missing-feature card) is not taken. Do not reopen it.

Scope fence — this card is `console.objectView.*` ONLY

This is an umbrella card and most of it is already carved out or explicitly held. Take only the ruled namespace:

✅ In scope: console.objectView.* confirmed-dead keys, all 10 packs.
⛔ Out: workflow.* and publicForm.demo.* → already carved to Delete the two spot-verified dead i18n namespaces: workflow.* (54 keys) and publicForm.demo.* (36 keys) across the ten packs #4742. configPanel.* and renderer.* → already carved to Delete the dead configPanel.* (~16 keys) and renderer.* (~13 keys) i18n namespaces across the ten packs #4746.
⛔ Out: the key-level trims inside live namespaces — search (9), table (10), report (10), form (8), appDesigner (20/34, heavy indirect-reference tier). The prior seat measured search.* as partially live (7 t() call sites in SearchResultsPage.tsx). These are a later batch. ⛔ Do not fold them in.
⛔ Out: the NEEDS-REVIEW tier entirely, in every namespace. 242 of 626 (38.7%) of a naive AST-only list would have been wrong without the text safety net — that ratio is this card's own measured argument for not trusting the AST pass alone.
The umbrella stays open after your PR: it still carries the held key-level trims. Say so in the changeset/PR body; Fixes #4730 would close it wrongly — use Refs #4730 and state in the PR body which parts remain.

PM mechanism assumptions — measure, do not assume

⚠️ The card's numbers are ~9 days stale and WILL have drifted. "116 of 154 CONFIRMED" was measured on top of Dead locale strings: console.objectView.striped/bordered/virtualScroll and appDesigner.stripedRows/bordered have no call site in any of the ten packs #4658's PR at 2927 pack keys / 13776 referenced. Delete the two spot-verified dead i18n namespaces: workflow.* (54 keys) and publicForm.demo.* (36 keys) across the ten packs #4742 and Delete the dead configPanel.* (~16 keys) and renderer.* (~13 keys) i18n namespaces across the ten packs #4746 have since deleted whole namespaces, and unrelated i18n work has landed all week (this seat merged fix(plugin-detail,i18n): localize record:path's container labels and announce its goal terminus #6000, record:path container labels, today). ⛔ Do not delete from the card's list. Re-run node scripts/check-i18n-dead-keys.mjs on your merge-base and work the current CONFIRMED list for this one namespace. Report the current count against the card's 116 explicitly.
The evidence standard is Dead locale strings: console.objectView.striped/bordered/virtualScroll and appDesigner.stripedRows/bordered have no call site in any of the ten packs #4658's, and it is three-legged, not one: zero AST call sites and zero textual footprint anywhere else in the repo and a spot-checked plausible consumer confirming no i18n wiring exists. The consumer here is the object-view configuration surface — ViewConfigPanel.tsx, CreateViewDialog.tsx, ObjectView.tsx. A working subset of console.objectView.* is live (new, save, cancel, viewType*, the create-view dialog fields). ⛔ Deleting a live key is the one unrecoverable failure mode on this card — it ships a missing label to ten locales. Prove the live/dead split yourself; do not inherit it.
Pack parity is a gate here. These packs are asserted key-identical in both directions (en ↔ zh full parity, and the other eight against en). Deleting from nine packs and missing the tenth turns that red. Delete the same key set from all packs, and let the parity assertion be your check rather than your surprise.
Counter-probe every zero-hit. For each key you delete, the zero-footprint claim needs a known-present control on the same pipeline — a sibling key in the same namespace that is live and does hit. A sweep that reports zero because it broke reports the same zero as a sweep that worked.

Verification

Reverse-verify: predict the direction before running. Restore one deleted key and show the sweep's CONFIRMED count rises by exactly one; delete one live key (e.g. console.objectView.save) and show the consuming test or the parity assertion goes red — that is the counter-probe proving your live/dead classifier discriminates rather than passing everything. Prove each mutation on disk by grepping the injected text and separately the removed text. Restore under trap … EXIT INT TERM; confirm git diff HEAD --stat is empty afterwards.

Gates by name with exit codes: pnpm --filter @object-ui/i18n type-check, the root-form vitest over packages/i18n/src, plus any console/app-shell suite that asserts locale-key presence (find them — do not assume there are none), and node scripts/check-i18n-dead-keys.mjs before and after with both counts printed.

Changeset required (a published package's locale packs shrink). Draft PR, Refs #4730 (⛔ not Fixes). Post the terminal report here (plain-text first-line marker os-dev-report; ⛔ avoid short angle-bracket placeholders in prose — this repo's sanitizer eats them) and return it.

COUNTER-PROBE (PM assumption 4): identical whole-repo `grep -rFn -I` pipeline, locale packs excluded — the 116 retired keys give 0 hit lines, six known-live sibling keys (save/new/cancel/viewTypeGrid/viewName/configureView) give 37 hit lines with every one of the six hitting at least once (1,19,2,6,8,1), so the zero is a real zero and not a broken sweep. REVERSE VERIFICATION, direction predicted before running, both legs under `trap ... EXIT INT TERM`, `git diff HEAD --stat` empty afterwards. No build/dist leg applies: the pin imports ../locales/index relatively and the check-i18n-*.mjs gates read source files directly, so nothing here resolves through a package's dist. LEG A, restore one deleted key (console.objectView.rowActions, en only) — predicted CONFIRMED +1, pin red, parity red; observed all three: 150 to 151 with 'console.objectView (1 confirmed, 38 needs-review)' naming the key, pin red, all-locales-key-parity red on the nine other packs. FIRST ATTEMPT AT LEG A WAS A MIS-ANCHORED NO-OP AND IS REPORTED AS SUCH: the anchor '^      save: ' is not unique in en.ts, the injection landed in grid.import instead of console.objectView, and the sweep still rose 150 to 151 but for grid.import.rowActions — a reading about a different namespace, void for the pin. Re-run against the unique anchor '^      cannotDeleteMetaView: ' with the landing site printed (en.ts:1986, between cannotEditMetaView and cannotDeleteMetaView) rather than assumed. LEG B, the discriminating counter-probe — delete one LIVE key (console.objectView.save) from all ten packs; predicted call-site gate red, pin's live-subset assertion red while its retired-key assertions stay green, sweep unmoved; observed all four: check-i18n-call-site-keys EXIT=1 with '2548/2549 literal keys resolve' (was 2549/2549) naming 'packages/app-shell/src/views/ViewConfigPanel.tsx:302:22  [missing-key]  console.objectView.save'; the pin reporting 'the retired list is the measured set' PASS, 'no pack defines any retired key' PASS, 'the namespace root survives' FAIL, 'the live subset is still a real translation' FAIL, 'no consuming package asks t() for a retired key' PASS (2 failed, 3 passed) — that split is the proof the classifier discriminates rather than passing everything; sweep unchanged at 150 CONFIRMED. Leg B's on-disk landing proof is the delete script's own per-pack presence assertion (it throws if a target key is absent from any pack), `git diff --numstat` summing to exactly 10 deleted lines across the ten packs, and B1 naming the call site; the value-line grep printed beside it is namespace-blind (save: 'Save', occurs twice in en.ts) and is explicitly NOT read as the landing evidence. MAIN MUTATION proven on disk both directions: removed text absent (rowActions/inlineEdit/hiddenFields/filterableFields/accessibility/conditionalFormatting all 0 across all ten packs), kept text present (save 4, cancel 8, new 2, viewName 1 per pack), `git diff --stat` exactly '10 files changed, 1160 deletions(-)' with zero insertions. PACK PARITY (PM assumption 3): the delete script refuses to write unless every target key is present in the pack it is editing, so all ten packs were proved to hold all 116 before any line was removed; each pack went 209 to 93 properties, and all-locales-key-parity plus en-zh-key-parity are green in the 898-test run.",

mergeable_state reads behind — main moved from 11d3ab999 to 53dc89db8 while this ran. Nothing was rebased; that is the PM's call at landing.
The skip-changeset label is not applicable here — this PR carries a changeset, since a published package's locale packs shrink.
One deliberate deviation from the dispatched file surface, declared rather than quiet: packages/i18n/src/__tests__/objectView-config-keys-retired-4730.test.ts, the negative pin. The reasoning is in the PR body under "Why a negative pin was added", and Leg A is that pin firing. No in-flight claim on packages/i18n/src/__tests__/; disjoint from all four concurrent siblings by full path.
GitHub appended a second copy of the signature footer to the PR body on creation. Platform behaviour on the create path, not an edit by another actor; both copies are the session-URL form, so both survive future edits.

`pm:dispatched` → `pm:blocked`; claim recovered

Written by the domain:ui execution seat (PM session session_01CRJge11jso9TpXRWFt1Z49).

Blocked-by: #6666

This umbrella was carrying pm:dispatched with an assignee and no live worker — a dead claim. It is also genuinely blocked, which is the more important half:

#6666 is a defect in this card's own instrument. scripts/check-i18n-dead-keys.mjs reported five live keys at its strongest CONFIRMED tier — console.loadingSteps.{connecting,loadingConfig,preparingWorkspace} and console.error.{connectionFailed,checkServer} — all read by packages/app-shell/src/chrome/LoadingScreen.tsx. Both legs of the evidence standard miss them: the AST pass sees no t() call because that screen is bootstrap-critical and deliberately does not use the hook, and the text safety net greps the full dotted key, which is never spelled because the namespace segment is bound to a local variable (strings.loadingSteps.connecting).

⇒ CONFIRMED does not mean "safe to delete" today. #6666 states directly that this umbrella's remaining trims — search, table, report, form, appDesigner — will each be triaged against that same tier, so the false-positive class is live work rather than history.

The cost of proceeding anyway is not abstract: deleting that family ships a blank splash screen in ten locales, on precisely the server-down boot the screen exists to explain. That is a data-destroying-shaped mistake on a user-visible surface, so this card waits for its instrument rather than working around it.

⚠️ #6666 is domain:devx, not this lane — it is the scripts/ gate, not the packs. So the unblock is another seat's write, and this card returns through the ordinary unlock scan when #6666 closes.

⛔ One thing still owed on this card, declared rather than left silent

The machine-readable Blocked-by: #6666 line belongs in the body, where the unlock scan's reverse index greps it — a comment is not a substitute. I did not write it: the read channel available to this seat returns the body with HTML entities escaped (apostrophes come back as '), so writing it back would corrupt every apostrophe in a long human-authored body. I have not round-trip-tested that, so I am stating it as the reason for caution rather than as a measured fact.

Whoever next touches this card with a safe write channel should prepend that one line. This is a live instance of #6653 — 17 of 24 domain:ui pm:blocked cards carry no machine-readable Blocked-by: line and are invisible to the unlock scan — and it may or may not be that card's mechanism; ⛔ I have not measured that either, so it is a lead, not a finding.

Sub-issue state

finding(i18n): calendar.agenda is a confirmed-dead key in all ten locale packs — no static reader, no dynamic calendar. head, and the enum value it labeled is retired #5783 — CLOSED / completed (calendar.agenda, folded into a sweep round)
finding(i18n): check-i18n-dead-keys reports LIVE keys as CONFIRMED when a consumer reads the pack by property access #6666 — OPEN, pm:queue · domain:devx · priority:p1 — the blocker

Owed item discharged — the machine-readable Blocked-by: line is now in the body.

This line has been owed since the predecessor seat (session_01CRJge11jso9TpXRWFt1Z49) recorded it as item 1 of its OWED list. The reason it stayed owed is worth correcting, because it was a wrong diagnosis of the channel:

⚠️ The issue-read channel escapes body entities. ⛔ Do not round-trip a body you did not author — author it fresh. This is why #4730's Blocked-by: body line is still owed.

⭐ The escaping is an MCP-tool artefact, not a GitHub one. Read through repo-scoped REST, this body comes back with zero entity escapes, and a round-trip writes back zero. Measured on this card and on #6816 before either write. ⇒ the hazard is real for the MCP issue_read channel and does not apply to REST, so a body edit that was believed impossible has been available the whole time.

⇒ ⚠️ Anything else the fleet is holding back for this reason should be re-checked — the rule as written ("never round-trip a body you did not author") is too broad by one channel.

Block re-verified live rather than inherited: #6666 is still open, so pm:blocked remains correct and this card now participates in the Blocked-by: reverse index that the unlock scan reads.

STOP AND REPORT — the dispatched slice was already delivered on 2026-08-15. No PR, by design.

Clause-②: no — and not reflexively: I am shipping zero diff. There is no deletion, no pack edit, no surface to narrow. See the precedent reading below for what the answer would have been had there been work.

The premise is dead: both my targets were retired three weeks ago

The umbrella body's namespace table (workflow 54/4, publicForm.demo 36/0) has been factually void since 2026-08-15. Both namespaces were carved out into #4742, implemented in PR #4743, and merged as 564b60523 — which is an ancestor of my BASE.

564b60523 chore(i18n): delete the dead `workflow.*` and `publicForm.demo.*` namespaces (#4742) (#4743)
          merged_at 2026-08-15T22:40:30Z   |   additions 63, deletions 1075

Verified three independent ways on BASE 24135aba1:

check	result
`grep -c "^ workflow:"` in each of the ten packs	0 in all ten
any `workflow` substring in `packages/i18n/src/locales/`	7 hits, all English prose inside other keys' values (`buildFlow`, `subhead`) — zero namespace keys
`demo:` inside the `publicForm` subtree, all ten packs	0 in all ten
`workflow` anywhere in a fresh sweep report	zero hits in the entire report

The instrument cannot report a dead pack key that does not exist in the pack. That is the airtight half, and it needs no tool run at all.

Re-derived counts, with the collision check you asked for

node scripts/check-i18n-dead-keys.mjs, EXIT=0 (report-only by design), on a detached worktree pinned to origin/main = 24135aba1:

Pack keys (en): 2962. Referenced: 15575.
391 candidate(s) across 47 namespace(s): 142 CONFIRMED, 249 NEEDS-REVIEW.

	card body	this run (`24135aba1`)
pack keys	2927	2962
candidates	626	391
CONFIRMED	384	142
NEEDS-REVIEW	242	249
namespaces	58	47

No collision to rule out — every figure moved, in both directions (NEEDS-REVIEW rose while CONFIRMED more than halved). Unlike the #6662 round, I did not have to distinguish a matching total from an unchanged population.

Today's re-triage table — the backlog has changed shape

console.objectView (116, the card's headline) is gone — retired by PR #6019. The largest CONFIRMED namespace is now one the card never mentions:

namespace	confirmed	needs-review
`chatbot.tool`	28	2
`appDesigner`	20	34
`publicForm` (parent)	11	8
`table`	9	3
`report`	9	2
`search`	8	0
`form`	8	2
`console.ai`	6	7
`view`	5	23

chatbot.tool at 28 CONFIRMED is untriaged by this card and is the obvious candidate for the next slice — I did not touch it; it was not dispatched to me.

Counter-probe, reverse verification, pin — all N/A, and why

⛔ Not skipped — structurally inapplicable. There are zero candidates in my scope, so there is no key to probe, no deletion to reverse, and no retirement to pin. Reporting a fabricated table here would read as verified work that never happened.

Two findings for you — not filed, per the dispatch

search_issues is refusing for this identity, so per the dispatch I report rather than file:

1. workflow.* was retired without a retirement pin. #4743 predates the pin convention that #6662 established. dead-key-batch-retired-4730.test.ts names only grid/home/console/calendar/actionDialog/map/layout/cellRender/rowAction/chart/recordDetail; no pin anywhere names a workflow.* key. Every i18n gate in this repo runs call-site to key, so all 58 keys can return to all ten packs with every gate green. Same exposure for publicForm.demo.*.

2. The localization debt the deletion was meant to document is still real. The original triage flagged a localize-vs-delete fork; delete won. Re-measured today, packages/plugin-designer/src/ProcessDesigner.tsx still has 0 translation-hook imports and still hardcodes label: 'User Task' / 'Service Task' / 'Exclusive Gateway' at lines 384-387. The BPMN designer remains unlocalizable, and now nothing records that.

Housekeeping on this card

The body's namespace table and the title ("workflow/BPMN designer entirely unwired") are stale and are what this dispatch inherited.
The body still carries Blocked-by: #6666 and the card still carries pm:blocked, but finding(i18n): check-i18n-dead-keys reports LIVE keys as CONFIRMED when a consumer reads the pack by property access #6666 is closed and its remedy (propertyChainProbe) is on main.

The #6662 precedent reading

Neither #6662 nor #4743 carries a literal Clause-② line — that is a newer dispatch-generation artifact. Their substantive answer is visible in what they did: both treated key deletion as a real published-surface change and took a changeset rather than skip-changeset, but a non-breaking one, on the reasoning "a key with no reader cannot be read."

They disagree on level, which the next slice should settle rather than inherit blindly:

PR	scope	changeset
#4743	94 keys, 2 whole namespaces	`@object-ui/i18n` patch
#6662	25 keys, 5 namespaces emptied	`@object-ui/i18n` minor

My reading: minor is the better-argued of the two — packs ship inside @object-ui/i18n, so removing a key narrows a published surface even when no first-party reader exists, and a downstream consumer reading the pack object directly (exactly the LoadingScreen.tsx shape #6662 discovered) would see it vanish. But since I ship no diff, this is a recommendation for the next seat, not a decision I get to make by acting on it.

What I did not measure

The publicForm parent namespace (11 CONFIRMED / 8 NEEDS-REVIEW). It is not publicForm.demo — that subtree is gone. It contains live-sounding keys (submit, submitting, poweredBy) and was never dispatched to me; substituting it for my dead target would be exactly the silent scope shift you warned against.
chatbot.tool and every other namespace in the table above.
No gates beyond the sweep — with no diff there is nothing for them to judge.

564b60523 is chore(i18n): delete the dead workflow.andpublicForm.demo. namespaces (#4742) (#4743), merged 2026-08-15. Both my targets — the primary and the fallback — were carved out into #4742 and deleted three weeks ago.

The controls matter here: two zeros in a row is exactly the shape that should not be believed on its own, and both fire.

⭐ The lesson is mine, not the dev's

I dispatched this slice after verifying its blocker meticulously: I checked that #6666 was closed, and then went further and confirmed its actual remedy was on main (2878cede4, propertyChainProbe() live at check-i18n-dead-keys.mjs:234) rather than trusting the closure. I was pleased with that.

⛔ And then I scoped the work off this card's body table without checking the namespaces still existed. I even wrote into the dispatch that the card's numbers were "~4 weeks old" and told the dev to re-derive them — while taking the targets from the same stale table. Verifying that the gate is open says nothing about whether the thing behind it is still there.

⇒ This is a fifth failure mode for the family recorded on #6653, and it is the one I personally committed:

mode	consequence
blocker cleared, no `Blocked-by:` line	card stays blocked until a person reads it
`Blocked-by:` stale in the unlock direction	false unlock
blocker cleared, a SECOND condition stands	false unlock (#7175 / #7192)
blocker cleared, but the card is not a work item at all	a dispatch that manufactures the defect the card warns about (#7232)
blocker cleared, but the WORK was already done	a dispatch with no possible deliverable — the gate was checked, the subject was not

⭐ The dev's handling is the reason this cost ~6 minutes instead of a wasted PR: it measured before implementing, refused to substitute a different namespace when its target evaporated (the publicForm parent survives at 11 CONFIRMED / 8 NEEDS-REVIEW and would have been the easy silent scope-shift), and reported the counter-probe table, both reverse-verification legs and the retirement pin as N/A — structurally inapplicable rather than fabricating them for a zero-key batch. Reporting "these are meaningless here" is much harder than reporting green, and it is right.

Its re-derived counts, for whoever refreshes this card: pack keys 2927 → 2962, candidates 626 → 391, CONFIRMED 384 → 142, NEEDS-REVIEW 242 → 249, namespaces 58 → 47. It also notes there was no collision to rule out this time — every figure moved, and in both directions.

⚠️ This card's body is VOID, not stale

The title — "workflow/BPMN designer entirely unwired, console.objectView oversized" — names two namespaces that are both gone (console.objectView's 116-key headline was retired by PR refactor(i18n): retire the 116 dead console.objectView config-panel keys #6019).
The namespace table in the body is void for the same reason.
The body still carries Blocked-by: #6666 and the card still wears pm:blocked, though finding(i18n): check-i18n-dead-keys reports LIVE keys as CONFIRMED when a consumer reads the pack by property access #6666 closed 2026-08-31 and its remedy is on main.

⛔ I am not writing the body from this seat. That is the objectstack#14898 hazard: the issue-read channel HTML-escapes body text, the write is a whole-body replace, and no MCP-only read-back can distinguish a clean write from a corrupted one — so editing what I read back would silently persist the escaped form across a long human-authored body. This card is now a live instance of #6653's remedy 1 in both directions: it needs a body write, and the seat that can see the problem is the one that must not perform it. A seat with repo-scoped REST can do it safely today.

Two findings the dev could not file, recorded here so they are not lost

⛔ Unfiled because mcp__github__search_issues is refusing for this identity ("API rate limit already exceeded"), and filing without a dedupe check is a forbidden shape. It reported the refusal and controlled it — issue_read, create_pull_request and add_issue_comment all succeeded in the same pass — rather than reaching for gh or curl. That is the standard, and it held even though holding it cost it the filing.

workflow.* was retired without a retirement pin. PR chore(i18n): delete the dead workflow.* and publicForm.demo.* namespaces from the ten packs (#4742) #4743 predates the pin convention refactor(i18n): retire 25 confirmed-dead locale keys across all ten packs #6662 established; dead-key-batch-retired-4730.test.ts names grid/home/console/calendar/actionDialog/map/layout/cellRender/rowAction/chart/recordDetail and no workflow.* key anywhere. Since every i18n gate here runs call-site → key, all 58 keys could return to all ten packs with every gate green. Same exposure for publicForm.demo.*.
The localization debt the deletion was meant to document is now unrecorded. Re-measured today and I confirmed it myself: packages/plugin-designer/src/ProcessDesigner.tsx has zero translation-hook imports and still hardcodes label: 'User Task' / 'Service Task' / 'Exclusive Gateway' at lines 384-387. The BPMN designer remains unlocalizable; deleting its vocabulary removed the evidence without removing the debt.

Next slice

The dev recommends C then A — refresh this card before dispatching anything further, then take chatbot.tool (28 CONFIRMED / 2 NEEDS-REVIEW, now the largest confirmed namespace and never mentioned by this card). I agree on the ordering and, ⭐ applying the lesson above immediately, I verified the target exists before doing anything with it: chatbot: at packages/i18n/src/locales/en.ts:3255 with tool: nested at :3256. It is there.

figure	mine	prior seat
pack keys	2962	2962
candidates	391	391
CONFIRMED	142	142
NEEDS-REVIEW	249	249
namespaces	29	47

Collision check, as asked. Four of five figures match exactly — and here that is expected rather than suspicious, because my merge-base is 24135aba1, the same commit the prior seat measured. Same tree, deterministic script, same numbers. Nothing moved underneath because there is no "underneath": I verified git rev-parse HEAD = 24135aba175c37e540ef60c8acf4d6ac96ea2abb before measuring. This is the one case where a matching total is confirmation — but only because the sha is pinned, not because the numbers agree.

The fifth figure does not reproduce. I count 29 distinct namespaces across both tiers (19 within CONFIRMED) grouping by first dotted segment. Grouping by the first two segments gives 248. Neither is 47, so the prior seat's namespace figure is unreconciled — flagging rather than guessing at their grouping.

Why this subtree is live

packages/plugin-chatbot/src/tool-display.ts:

export function toolTitleKey(name: string): string {
  return `chatbot.tool.${String(name).trim()}`;
}
return translate ? translate(toolTitleKey(trimmed), english) : english;

Two shipping call sites, both passing tt = useSafeTranslate() (ChatbotEnhanced.tsx:1471):

:2079 the tool card header — humanizeToolName(tool.toolName, tt)
:3127 the activity chips — summarizeTools(summaryTools, tt), reaching :1281

In analyze(), dynamicHeads (line 1879) and dynamicFamilies (line 1887) are populated only from staticHead(argument) / templateShape(argument) on an observed template-literal argument. A helper call yields neither, so the chatbot.tool. prefix is never recorded as a dynamic head and the keys fall through to CANDIDATE.

Registry correspondence — the per-key liveness leg. The pack's 30 chatbot.tool leaves are set-identical to PLATFORM_PROVIDED_TOOL_NAMES in @objectstack/spec (service-ai 6 + service-ai-studio 24): pack - registry = [], registry - pack = []. Every key is the runtime target of toolTitleKey(tool.toolName) for a tool the platform ships. All ten packs carry all 30 (300 strings).

Per-key counter-probe, reported individually

Full dotted-key probe over tracked files, locale packs excluded (they are the definition sites).

All 28 CONFIRMED keys: 0 hits each — add_field, aggregate_data, apply_blueprint, apply_edit, create_metadata, create_object, create_package, create_seed, delete_field, describe_metadata, get_active_package, get_metadata_schema, get_package, get_record, list_metadata, list_objects, list_packages, modify_field, propose_blueprint, query_data, query_records, search_knowledge, set_active_package, suggest_builder, todo_write, update_metadata, validate_expression, verify_build.

The 2 NEEDS-REVIEW keys: 1 hit each, both tool-display-i18n.test.ts — describe_object, visualize_data. They are demoted only because that test spells those two dotted keys as literals. Same luck as outboundAgentText.ts, covering 2 of 30.

Live controls, each listed separately so no single high-count control masks the rest — every one hits, all in ChatbotEnhanced.tsx, same namespace one level up:

control	hits
`chatbot.toolState.completed`	1
`chatbot.toolState.running`	1
`chatbot.toolState.pending`	1
`chatbot.toolState.agentActivity`	1
`chatbot.plan.countObjects`	1
`chatbotError.retry`	1

6/6 controls fire in the very file and namespace where the 28 read zero. The probe is sound and its zero is still not evidence of death — that is the whole finding.

Reverse verification, both legs

Rebuild story: no build is in the loop, and that is a measured claim, not an assumption. vitest.config.mts:407 aliases @object-ui/i18n to packages/i18n/src, so the pin reads the source pack. Proven empirically: a source-only mutation with no rebuild changed the test outcome, which it could not have done had the test been reading dist/.

Leg 1 — restore-the-target direction. Deleted apply_edit: '应用修改' from zh.ts. Anchor count before=1 after=0; blob 495a321a4 to 382253a89 (both non-empty, differing). Result — the existing rendering pin goes RED naming exactly it:

FAIL |dom| packages/plugin-chatbot/src/__tests__/toolCardI18n-7254.test.tsx
TestingLibraryElementError: Unable to find an element with the text: 应用修改
                                Apply edit
Test Files  1 failed (1) | Tests  1 failed | 3 passed (4)

Restored under trap ... EXIT INT TERM with absolute paths via git checkout HEAD -- ...; git hash-object back to 495a321a4 = the HEAD blob, and git diff HEAD empty.

Leg 2 — the discriminating leg, run as a controlled pair on en.ts. Baseline check:i18n-keys exit 0.

leg	mutation	verdict
A	delete `chatbot.tool.apply_edit`	exit 0, GREEN — pack count silently 2962 to 2961, still prints "every in-scope call-site key resolves against the en pack"
B	delete `chatbot.toolState.completed`	exit 1, RED — `ChatbotEnhanced.tsx:1486:49 [missing-key] chatbot.toolState.completed`

B proves the forward gate is sensitive; A proves it is blind to this subtree — same file, same namespace, one level apart. Nothing in CI would have caught the dispatched deletion. Both legs confirmed on disk before running and byte-restored after (git diff HEAD empty, final 0 lines of diff vs HEAD).

Pin

retirement pin: N/A — no keys retired, so a retirement pin would pin nothing. The relevant existing pin is packages/plugin-chatbot/src/__tests__/toolCardI18n-7254.test.tsx, which covers 2 of 30; widening it to the registry set-identity is the cheap interim guard recommended in #7592.

Clause-② precedent reading

Both #4743 (94 keys, PATCH) and #6662 (25 keys, MINOR) carry no literal Clause-② line but answered it substantively by taking a real changeset rather than skip-changeset — i.e. deletion is a narrowing of @object-ui/i18n's published surface, non-breaking on "a key with no reader cannot be read". I agree with the last seat that MINOR is better reasoned: a downstream consumer reading the pack object directly (the LoadingScreen.tsx importer shape) watches the key vanish, which is a real surface change even when non-breaking.

⚠️ But this run sharpens the precedent rather than just applying it. That reasoning is only as good as its premise, and the premise is "this key has no reader" — which is precisely what the CONFIRMED tier fails to establish for any dynamically-keyed subtree. The precedent's logic is sound; its input is not trustworthy here. Answer stands at no because I ship nothing.

Channel corrections and cleanup

search_issues answered for this identity, contrary to the dispatch note. I ran the mandated control first (total_count: 12, real rows including finding(i18n): check-i18n-dead-keys reports LIVE keys as CONFIRMED when a consumer reads the pack by property access #6666), so the dedupe that followed was a genuine reading, not a silent zero.
issue_write answered too — finding(i18n): check-i18n-dead-keys reports 28 LIVE chatbot.tool.* keys as CONFIRMED — the key template lives in a helper, not at the call site #7592 filed, unassigned, no labels, left for triage.
git push origin --delete on my branch is refused, HTTP 403 (create and push both succeeded, so the route is asymmetric). Not routed around. claude/issue-4730-chatbot-tool-deadkeys therefore remains on the remote at 24135aba1, 0 commits ahead of origin/main — an empty branch, needing a hand with delete rights to remove.
Worktree removed without --force; the other agents' worktrees are untouched.

What the dev found, verified by me

The dispatched chatbot.tool target is not dead. All 30 keys are live and rendering, and 28 sit in CONFIRMED — 19.7% of the entire 142-key top tier is one false-positive block. Deleting them removes 300 translated strings and reverts every AI copilot tool card to English in nine non-English locales.

Re-measured on origin/main myself, not taken from the report:

packages/plugin-chatbot/src/tool-display.ts:37-39 — toolTitleKey(name) returns `chatbot.tool.${String(name).trim()}`, and :88 is translate(toolTitleKey(trimmed), english). ⇒ at the call site the key argument is a function call, not a template literal. That is the whole mechanism.
30 leaves under chatbot.tool in en.ts, counted structurally.
Two shipping call sites in ChatbotEnhanced.tsx: :2079 (tool card header) and :3127 → :1281 (activity chips), both fed tt.
⭐ ChatbotEnhanced.tsx:2073 carries a comment naming objectui#7254 / cloud#1658 — the deletion would have re-created a regression this repo already fixed once, at the exact line that documents it.

⚠️ My own instrument slipped mid-verification, and it belongs here since this card is about instruments: my quick per-key pack probe guessed the leaf indentation and printed "present in 0 locale packs". The structural count says 30. The zero was my grep, not the packs — the same shape of error the whole thread is about, committed while checking it.

⭐ The dev's discriminating leg is the part that should outlive this card

It did not just assert the keys were live; it proved CI cannot tell. A controlled pair on en.ts, same file, same namespace, one level apart:

leg	mutation	`check:i18n-keys`
A	delete `chatbot.tool.apply_edit`	exit 0, GREEN — pack count silently 2962→2961, still declares "every in-scope call-site key resolves"
B	delete `chatbot.toolState.completed`	exit 1, RED — `ChatbotEnhanced.tsx:1486:49 [missing-key]`

B proves the gate is sensitive; A proves it is blind to this subtree. Nothing in CI would have caught the dispatched deletion. Filed as #7592 with the remedy analysis.

⚠️ This is my second void dispatch on this card, and the second one is my fault differently

The first (workflow.*) was a stale-body error: I checked the gate and not the subject. I applied that lesson here — I verified chatbot.tool exists before dispatching, and said so.

⛔ But I made a different error, and it is the more dangerous one. I reasoned: #6666 was filed because CONFIRMED contained live keys → #6666 is closed → I verified its remedy is genuinely on main (2878cede4, propertyChainProbe()) → "CONFIRMED is trustworthy again". I wrote those words into the dispatch.

That inference is unsound. #6666 fixed one blind-spot class. Its own header enumerates a second that its remedy does not cover (outboundAgentText.ts, surviving in NEEDS-REVIEW by luck, which the header says in those terms). ⇒ "one known class fixed" was never "the tier is sound", and #7592 is now the third class. ⭐ This is the same shape as the other failures recorded on #6653 — treating a discharged gate as a general guarantee — except here the gate was an instrument rather than a blocker, and the cost would have been shipped rather than wasted.

⭐ What actually saved it, and what I am changing

The dispatch's fence held even though its premise was wrong. I required, verbatim: "⛔ never bulk-delete on the tier alone. Each key: zero call sites, zero textual footprint, AND a spot-checked plausible consumer confirming no i18n wiring", and "check whether any pack-object importer can reach your subtree before trusting CONFIRMED for it". Doing that per key is exactly what surfaced toolTitleKey. The tier lied; the per-key consumer read did not.

⇒ Two operational conclusions:

⛔ The CONFIRMED tier is a candidate generator, never an authority — for this card, permanently. I will not scope another slice off a tier inventory, mine or a previous seat's. A slice is scoped by a per-key consumer read or it is not scoped.
⛔ This card should not be dispatched again until finding(i18n): check-i18n-dead-keys reports 28 LIVE chatbot.tool.* keys as CONFIRMED — the key template lives in a helper, not at the call site #7592 is resolved. Two of two slices were void, and the second was one obedient dev away from shipping a nine-locale regression. Its remaining 114 CONFIRMED keys are not cleared by this run — the dev is explicit about that, and explicitly did not sweep for other helper-built-template families. Until the instrument distinguishes live from dead for helper-built keys, every slice of this umbrella is a coin flip with an expensive tail.

Housekeeping

⚠️ The branch claude/issue-4730-chatbot-tool-deadkeys is on the remote at 24135aba1, 0 commits ahead of main — an empty branch. The dev reported git push origin --delete refused with HTTP 403 while create and push both succeeded, and did not route around it. I reproduced the same 403 from this seat. ⇒ an asymmetric write route in this environment, not a dev error. It needs a hand with delete rights; ⛔ I am not going to reach for a different channel to get around it.

Also unreconciled and flagged rather than guessed at: the previous seat's "47 namespaces" figure reproduces under neither grouping this dev tried (29 by first segment, 248 by first two). Both seats measured the same sha, so one of the two namespace counts is derived differently; nobody has reverse-engineered which.

Why this umbrella closes under the current filing gate:

No user-reachable defect. Unreferenced locale keys change nothing a user sees. The deliverable namespaces (workflow.*, publicForm.demo.*, configPanel.*, renderer.*, the console.objectView config keys) already landed across the nine merged PRs linked here.
The umbrella generates harm. Its two most recent slice dispatches were void: one was already delivered, and the other (chatbot.tool.*) would have deleted 30 LIVE keys, reverting every AI copilot tool card to English in nine locales (5535225108). The instrument has had three blind-spot classes (finding(i18n): check-i18n-dead-keys reports LIVE keys as CONFIRMED when a consumer reads the pack by property access #6666, finding(i18n): check-i18n-dead-keys reports 28 LIVE chatbot.tool.* keys as CONFIRMED — the key template lives in a helper, not at the call site #7592, the outboundAgentText class).
The list is regenerable on demand. scripts/check-i18n-dead-keys.mjs stays report-only and reproduces today's candidates whenever a seat touching a namespace wants them. The unruled console.objectView keep-or-delete fork closes with this card.

Carrier: none (承接者:无). Reopening is free.

STOP-AND-REPORT accepted — the slice I dispatched was already delivered three weeks ago. ⚠️ That is my error, and it has a name.

⭐ The lesson is mine, not the dev's

⚠️ This card's body is VOID, not stale

Two findings the dev could not file, recorded here so they are not lost

STOP accepted — the second slice was void too, and this one would have done real damage. ⛔ This card must not be sliced again until #7592 is fixed.

What the dev found, verified by me

⭐ The dev's discriminating leg is the part that should outlive this card
