REVIEW — TFW-23: Templates English Standardization

Date: 2026-04-04 Author: Reviewer Verdict: ✅ APPROVE RF Phase A: RF Phase A RF Phase B: RF Phase B TS Phase A: TS Phase A TS Phase B: TS Phase B


1. Review Checklist

# Check Status Notes
1 DoD met? (all TS acceptance criteria) Phase A: 5/5 criteria met (zero Cyrillic verified by script). Phase B: 4/4 criteria met (config, convention, init, registry)
2 Code quality (conventions, naming, type hints) All English headings follow D28 (Naming > Explanation). Config syntax correct YAML
3 Test coverage (tests written and passing) Python Cyrillic regex scan = PASS. Grep verifications for Phase B = all pass
4 Philosophy aligned (matches HL design philosophy) “Templates = code, code = English, content = user’s language” fully implemented
5 Tech debt (shortcuts documented?) Observations documented in both RFs — CHANGELOG.md RU entries, config.md RU prompts
6 Security (no secrets exposed, guards in place) N/A No security implications
7 Breaking changes (backward compat, migrations) Workflows reference §numbers not heading text (confirmed by RES H3). Filled artifacts in tasks/ not affected. No breaking changes
8 Style & standards (code style, conventions) Consistent field names across all 5 templates (Date, Author, Status)
9 Observations collected (executor reported findings) Phase A: 2 observations. Phase B: 2 observations. All substantive

2. Verdict

✅ APPROVE

Both phases deliver what was specified. Templates are clean English. content_language config is minimal and well-placed. The §3.1 rewrite from engineering-specific to domain-agnostic is a clear improvement.

Process note: This task had significant gate violations during research (6/6 gates skipped due to crash recovery). The content_language feature was nearly lost. Fact candidate #3 from Phase A RF documents this — it should become a real task (crash-resilient gates).

3. Tech Debt Collected

# Source Severity File Description Action
TD-56 Phase A RF obs. #1 Low .tfw/CHANGELOG.md L17 Historical entry still has Визуализация результата in Russian — historical record, not active Accepted
TD-57 Phase B RF obs. #1 Med .tfw/workflows/config.md L19,29 Edit mode prompts in Russian (“Что хотите изменить…”, “Применить?”) — inconsistent with English-first convention ⬜ Backlog
TD-58 Phase A RF obs. #2 Low tasks/* Existing filled artifacts use RU headings — expected, historical Accepted

4. Traces Updated

5. Fact Candidates

# Category Candidate Source Confidence
1 process Gate skipping during crash recovery caused feature loss and user trust erosion. TFW needs crash-resilient gates — mechanism to re-read workflow + determine current gate after session interruption RF Phase A FC#3 + RF Phase B FC#1 High
2 convention content_language (project-level, in config) ≠ .user_preferences.md Language: (personal, gitignored). Two different purposes: project artifacts vs agent communication tone RF Phase B FC#2 Medium
3 convention §3.1 Result Visualization must remain domain-agnostic. User: “на уровне HL мыслить надо иначе, через ценности, процессы” — TFW serves education, business, research, not just engineering Session feedback High
