RF β€” TFW-55 / Phase B.2: Restore and Localize the Project README

Date: 2026-08-26 Author: Codex Executor Status: 🟒 RF β€” REVIEW-return revision #1 complete; awaiting the same independent Reviewer Parent HL: HL-TFW-55 Phase HL: Phase B.2 HL TS: TS Phase B.2 Contract baseline: 5dee93d31fde4ee5ea279880137e83fb50fca296, Amendment A6 Production baseline: public prefix of b924926:README.md; live Task Board tail from 2a534c70f31807b0f131b7a83e46e249715697e0


1. What Was Done

The rejected compact doorway was replaced with a practical project guide derived from the exact historic public prefix. The new English guide again explains the continuity problem, audiences, Editions, installation/initialization, three project states, exact commands, repository structure, workflow concepts, adapters, updating, and public routes. Russian and Kazakh now provide the same complete capability in natural target-language prose without a Task Board.

Formal REVIEW Return #1

The formal Reviewer returned target f8b0731b1624f7ab28f80020519702cb85e6014b as REVISE. Canonical REVIEW trace commit f02c240dcd9a471e209dc1bc106ff15968ad4854 was fast-forwarded into this Executor lineage without editing the REVIEW or its review/phase-b2/ stage files. The bounded revision:

  1. replaces the Russian duty-to-stop drift with retained human responsibility for the stop decision in both the definition and How It Works;
  2. replaces β›” BLOCKED with authoritative ❌ BLOCKED in EN/RU/KK and checks mechanics-source parity;
  3. preserves the prior RU acceptance mistake, then records complete same-critic RU/KK rechecks of exact freeze 36075b486ae2adffeb7d19293f16606d3cc22a3f with unresolved HIGH 0/0;
  4. restores the TS Evidence classification to 0 VERIFIED / 0 DEFERRED / 0 BLOCKED / 9 N/A while retaining deterministic verification tables.

No stylistic rewrite, compression, new practical content, mechanics change, D66 edit, or adjacent scope entered the revision.

Modified Files

File Changes
README.md Restored and currently aligned the practical public prefix; retained the live board and changed only the normal TFW-55 workflow row
README.ru.md Replaced the rejected short doorway with a complete natural Russian localization; no board
README.kk.md Replaced the rejected short doorway with a complete natural Kazakh localization; no board

No master/phase plan, Phase A artifact, old B1 trace, research, .tfw/README.md, Edition, core mechanic, adapter, visual, KNOWLEDGE.md, BoK, or unrelated file was modified.

2. Key Decisions

  1. Function governed restoration. Every historic heading was kept. Sentences changed only for current facts, authority, stale navigation, Edition/command/path mechanics, or minimal Philosophy-of-Trace alignment.
  2. English was reconstructed as two regions. Only the public prefix came from b924926; the Task Board came from the exact Executor start commit. No whole historical README restore occurred.
  3. Philosophy stayed bounded. One practical definition states the methodology, selected Trace, six human responsibilities, and bounded agents. The essay link carries the full argument; no NS1/NS2/NS3 mirror or second essay was added.
  4. Current sources overruled stale prose. Edition selection/migration, Quick Start, all 11 commands, repository/core structure, adapters, lifecycle/evidence mechanics, update flow, and navigation were checked against their live repository sources.
  5. Localization was independently challenged twice. Separate read-only RU and KK critics read the original frozen Git objects. Formal REVIEW exposed two misses; the same critics explicitly acknowledged them and re-read the complete new exact objects at 36075b4, accepting RU blob e67f45a7… and KK blob 42db59ee… with unresolved HIGH 0/0.
  6. Taste did not create an endless loop. The new exact-final KK-F-L1 observation is LOW, changes no meaning or function, and was explicitly accepted by the critic without reopening the accepted blob.
  7. The old chain remains visible as superseded. Old B1 RF and old B1 REVIEW are unchanged. Their APPROVE verified the wrong compact-doorway function and was superseded by owner rejection.
  8. Verification is not Evidence. All nine TS Evidence fields are N/A; Git/document checks and language critique remain useful acceptance verification but are not relabeled as target-environment or human-reception Evidence.

Source-growth provenance

The historic public prefix had 1,485 words. The frozen practical guide had 2,129; the exact-final public prefix has 2,149 because self-audit restored the baseline Conduct row. These counts are descriptive, not a target.

Section Historic β†’ frozen β†’ final words Why the additional material is necessary
Editions 77 β†’ 207 β†’ 207 Current Light/Assisted/Full choice, contents, availability, copy rule, and migration route
Quick Start including FAQ 429 β†’ 611 β†’ 611 Edition-first selection, state-safe new/existing/configured starts, exact commands, Codex route, and bounded capability corrections
Key Concepts 96 β†’ 220 β†’ 240 Current conditional lifecycle, roles, modes, budgets, evidence, trace types, versioning, and restored baseline Conduct function
Other sections Remaining growth Required authority correction, current structure/adapters/navigation, retained audience use cases, and distinct philosophy/mechanics/history/help routes

Every addition maps to a newcomer capability, current factual correction, authority correction, or retained historic function. Nothing was added or removed to hit a preferred size.

3. Acceptance Criteria

  • [x] AC-1 β€” exact baseline and ledger: reproduced b924926 prefix as 1,485 words and SHA-256 d14f9b89b174a59f8cd3177dfd111147ec2efdfcb3254fd3790788896b11638d; complete keep/update/add/remove and claim-class ledgers are in EV.
  • [x] AC-2 β€” practical English guide: every historic practical section remains; all seven newcomer questions have an exact click/action path.
  • [x] AC-3 β€” minimal philosophy: human authority and selected-Trace limits are explicit; unsupported automation/documentation/determinism/agent-authority claims are removed; the essay is linked rather than paraphrased.
  • [x] AC-4 β€” current mechanics and links: Editions, starts, 11 commands, files, core, adapters, authoritative ❌ BLOCKED lifecycle, update route, local destinations, and preserved external strings match current sources.
  • [x] AC-5 β€” full natural Russian localization: functional parity, exact identifiers, English authority, no board, strict UTF-8, corrected stop-decision responsibility, and same-critic complete exact-final ACCEPT on blob e67f45a79d4958e749fa53a4e90e2ab43e110d1e.
  • [x] AC-6 β€” full natural Kazakh localization: functional parity, exact identifiers and lifecycle token, English authority, no board, strict UTF-8, and same-critic complete exact-final ACCEPT on blob 42db59ee1aa37590333aad30c64a56b4f40e06eb.
  • [x] AC-7 β€” critic closure: RU draft H0/M6/L4, KK draft H1/M8/L3, the RU prior-acceptance misses, and the lifecycle-token return are fully dispositioned; final open HIGH is 0/0; required back-translations and accepted KK LOW are preserved.
  • [x] AC-8 β€” switch, board, encoding, scope: visible language switch in all files; one English board and zero localized boards; non-TFW-55 tail and TFW-60 exact; reviewed essay blob unchanged; production writes limited to three READMEs.
  • [x] AC-9 β€” corrective provenance: new ONB/EV/LANG_REVIEW/RF identify both baselines, owner rejection, old-chain supersession, full checks, limits, and mandatory post-APPROVE D66 closure without editing KNOWLEDGE.md.

Configured build entries are unconfigured echoes and were run exactly:

  • Lint (echo "configure your lint command"): N/A β€” echo completed; deterministic document gates above supplied verification.
  • Tests (echo "configure your test command"): N/A β€” echo completed; no project-specific test command is configured.
  • Verify (echo "configure your verify command"): N/A β€” echo completed; no project-specific verify command is configured.

The REVIEW-return critic freeze is commit 36075b486ae2adffeb7d19293f16606d3cc22a3f: complete English README.md blob 78644c954d1e51a3c9e422c514b4fef7e6a8a9ca, Russian blob e67f45a79d4958e749fa53a4e90e2ab43e110d1e, and Kazakh blob 42db59ee1aa37590333aad30c64a56b4f40e06eb. The final target preserves the accepted English public prefix byte-for-byte; only the permitted TFW-55 board row advances from REVISE to RF.

5. Evidence

Evidence disposition: All nine TS Evidence fields are N/A. Full deterministic verification and bounded critic details remain in EV and the language reports rather than being recreated inline.

See Phase B.2 EV, RU language review, and KK language review.

Evidence verdict: 0 VERIFIED / 0 DEFERRED / 0 BLOCKED / 9 N/A.

6. Observations (out-of-scope, not modified)

# File Location Type Description
1 KNOWLEDGE.md D66 and Public Entry architecture documentation Still describes the rejected compact doorway. Mandatory correction is deferred until a new formal REVIEW APPROVE, then performed through /tfw-docs; Executor did not edit it.
2 README.md TFW-55 research link 2 navigation tasks/TFW-55__canonization_program/research/iter2/RES.md is absent at the execution baseline. This pre-existing board condition was not repaired or hidden by README restoration.

7. Fact Candidates

fact-candidates: processed 2026-08-30

No new unconsolidated Fact Candidates. The owner's correction and all execution observations are already captured in Amendment A6, the approved Phase B.2 HL/TS, and this corrective trace; no BoK or knowledge promotion was attempted.

8. Strategic Insights (Execution)

fact-candidates: processed 2026-08-30

# Insight Category Source
S1 A project README can satisfy a compact doorway contract and still fail its users if it loses Edition choice, initialization, exact commands, structure, and help routes; contract review must defend the intended document function, not only internal compliance. Product / process Owner correction, Amendment A6 and Phase B.2 delegation
S2 Document length is diagnostic provenance, not an optimization target. Additions are justified block by block by newcomer capability or current facts; deletions require an equivalent practical capability. Methodology Owner freeze-gate correction during execution

9. Diagrams

No diagrams. The deliverable is a three-language document surface; exact mapping tables in EV are more useful than a separate architecture diagram.

10. Residual Limits and Next Workflow

  • External URLs were preserved as strings and not presented as live-availability evidence.
  • KK-F-L1 remains an accepted LOW naturalness observation; it changes no meaning, authority, function, identifier, or navigation.
  • KNOWLEDGE.md D66 remains intentionally stale until a new formal APPROVE authorizes /tfw-docs closure.
  • This Executor has not resumed formal review. The coordinator must send the new RF target to the same independent Reviewer; this Executor stops at RF.
