LANG_REVIEW — TFW-55 / Phase B.2 — Kazakh

Date: 2026-08-26 Target: README.kk.md Critic task: /root/kk_critic Review type: isolated read-only localization critique; not formal TFW REVIEW Status: REVIEW-RETURN #1 EXACT-FINAL ACCEPT — unresolved HIGH 0; one non-blocking LOW remains

1. Frozen Draft Lineage

Authority Approved Phase B.2 HL/TS; master Amendment A6 at 5dee93d; reviewed .tfw/README.md
Isolation Critic used git show/git cat-file on exact objects and did not read or modify the live working tree

2. Fixed Critic Packet

The critic received the same complete functional, seven-question newcomer, semantic/authority, current-fact, exact-command/path/URL, naturalness/calque/translation-smell, no-board, severity, and source-growth provenance packet recorded in the Russian report. Kazakh additionally required both English and Russian definition back-translations and a specific Russian-interference, case/agreement, and word-order review.

The exact required command set was:

/tfw-config, /tfw-docs, /tfw-handoff, /tfw-init, /tfw-knowledge, /tfw-plan, /tfw-release, /tfw-research, /tfw-resume, /tfw-review, /tfw-update.

3. Draft Functional Verdict

The critic confirmed a complete practical Kazakh README, all seven newcomer answers, exact Edition names, exact 11-command surface, matching destination set with intentional English-board routing, no localized board/state, and no North Star mirror. The 1,485→2,129 source expansion passed the functional/provenance test and was not treated as a size problem.

The frozen draft could proceed to disposition but could not proceed unchanged: one HIGH authority defect narrowed accountability to reporting and changed stop responsibility into a duty that work must be stopped.

4. Required Definition Back-Translations

English back-translation of the frozen Kazakh definition:

Trace-First Workflow (TFW) makes work inspectable and able to be continued. TFW is a methodology for joint human–AI work grounded in the Philosophy of Trace. Purpose, lawful authority, judging, acceptance of the result, responsibility to report, and the obligation to stop work remain with the human; agents perform only work within the defined bounds. A Trace is not a raw copy of chat or a hidden chain of thought, but deliberately selected context preserved for the long term. It retains decisions, the result or current state, evidence, limits, and information needed for continuation.

Russian back-translation of the frozen Kazakh definition:

Trace-First Workflow (TFW) позволяет проверять работу и продолжать её. TFW — методология совместной работы человека и ИИ, основанная на Философии Следа. Цель, законные полномочия, вынесение суждения, принятие результата, обязанность отчитываться и обязанность остановить работу остаются за человеком; агенты выполняют только работу в заданных границах. След — не необработанная копия чата и не скрытая цепочка рассуждений, а намеренно отобранный и долговременно сохранённый контекст. В нём остаются решения, результат или текущее состояние, доказательства, ограничения и сведения для продолжения.

Required meaning Frozen KK Draft verdict
purpose Мақсат Preserved
legitimate authority заңды өкілет Meaning visible, but noun should be заңды өкілеттік
judgment пайымдау Close process sense; пайым is tighter
acceptance нәтижені қабылдау Preserved
accountability есеп беру жауапкершілігі Material drift to reporting responsibility
stop responsibility жұмысты тоқтату міндеті Material drift to an obligation to stop
bounded agents агенттер тек белгіленген шеңбердегі жұмысты атқарады Preserved

5. Complete Draft Findings and Dispositions

ID Severity Category Frozen location / quote Finding and requested correction Executor disposition
KK-H1 HIGH Authority / semantic parity Definition: заңды өкілет, пайымдау, ... есеп беру жауапкершілігі ... жұмысты тоқтату міндеті Accountability becomes reporting duty; stop responsibility becomes obligation to stop; өкілет is incomplete. Use Мақсат, заңды өкілеттік, пайым, нәтижені қабылдау, есептілік және жұмысты тоқтату жөніндегі жауапкершілік...; harmonize shorter list FIXED exactly as requested in definition and How It Works responsibility row
KK-M1 MEDIUM Naturalness / source authority бұл бет ... толықтай қазақшалайды Page sounds as if it performs localization FIXED as бұл — практикалық нұсқаулықтың толық қазақша нұсқасы
KK-M2 MEDIUM Syntax / translation smell Оған жеткізген пайым; ЖИ-мен басталған жаңа сеанс Unclear antecedent and mirrored phrase FIXED with Оларды сол нәтижеге жеткізген пайым... and ЖИ-мен жұмыстың жаңа сеансы
KK-M3 MEDIUM Continuation clarity сенімді мәнмәтін жететіндей Awkward dative construction obscures enough context for continuation FIXED with жұмысты жалғастыруға жеткілікті сенімді мәнмәтін қалатындай етіп
KK-M4 MEDIUM Edition fact / calque Assisted: көзге түсе бермейтін тексерістер... Suggests hard-to-notice checks; fallback clause mirrored FIXED with critic's Codex қолдайтын... кедергі келтірмейтін... тексерілген балама жол wording
KK-M5 MEDIUM Research syntax қорытынды есеп оған әсер еткен шешімдерді Ambiguous pronoun does not express choices shaping report FIXED as өзінің қалыптасуына әсер еткен шешімдерді
KK-M6 MEDIUM Engineering meaning өнімшіл инженерлер; қарызды іске асырумен қатар ұстайды Means productive, not product-oriented; second phrase is literal FIXED with Өнімге бағдарланған... инженерлер and іске асыру материалдарымен бірге сақтайды
KK-M7 MEDIUM Existing-project safety Жоба күйін қайта жазба Direct calque; insufficiently concrete FIXED as Жобаның бар күйін жоғалтпа және қолданыстағы файлдарды қайта жазба
KK-M8 MEDIUM Terminology / authority нұсқаланатын Іздерге; Ненің беделді... Opaque neologism; беделді is reputational, not operational authority FIXED with нұсқалары бақыланатын Іздерге жазылуына and Қай дерекке сүйенуге болатынын...
KK-L1 LOW Agreement Фреймворктің барлық файлын Plural quantifier requires plural object FIXED as барлық файлдарын
KK-L2 LOW Parallel syntax FAQ links ending only last item with accusative Coordinated list is uneven FIXED as Мына материалдарды қараңыз: followed by parallel links
KK-L3 LOW Local calque тірі тапсырмалар тақтасы; Релиз қолданылатын жобадағы Understandable but visibly translated FIXED as өзекті тапсырмалар тақтасы and Релизі бар жобаларға арналған...
KK-S01 SELF Baseline function Key Concepts conduct route Self-audit found that frozen EN/RU/KK omitted the baseline Conduct row while adding current mechanics FIXED with concise natural EN/RU/KK conduct rows sourced to conventions

Draft critic counts: HIGH 1, MEDIUM 8, LOW 3; unresolved HIGH 1. Executor remediation fixes all 12 critic findings. The final result cannot be accepted until the same critic rechecks the exact committed remediation and reports unresolved HIGH 0.

6. Exact-Final Production Object

The dispositioned Kazakh blob 571884b21e09aef44b4f1a6ae629973e626ab8d8 was committed at 5d7edc01f91cfa6dcfd936a90ac6a3e2685ae655 with bounded EN/RU remediation. The same critic re-read the full exact Git objects rather than the working tree.

7. Exact-Final Recheck

Exact objects: commit 5d7edc01f91cfa6dcfd936a90ac6a3e2685ae655; EN blob 21e7078af7990b2d815f0dbf77e5521db043478c; KK blob 571884b21e09aef44b4f1a6ae629973e626ab8d8. The critic re-read the complete English public prefix and Kazakh guide through exact Git objects; the live working tree was neither source nor target.

ID Exact-final result
KK-H1 RESOLVED — all six responsibilities and bounded-agent clause are exact in definition and How It Works
KK-M1 RESOLVED — semantic-source notice is natural and authoritative
KK-M2 RESOLVED — opening antecedent and AI-session phrasing are natural
KK-M3 RESOLVED — continuation promise clearly leaves enough reliable context
KK-M4 RESOLVED — Assisted support, unobtrusive checks, and manual fallback are distinct
KK-M5 RESOLVED — research sentence expresses decisions that shaped the report
KK-M6 RESOLVED — product-minded engineering and implementation context are correct
KK-M7 RESOLVED — existing-project safety explicitly preserves state and files
KK-M8 RESOLVED — version-controlled traces and human authority are natural and exact
KK-L1 RESOLVED — plural agreement corrected
KK-L2 RESOLVED — visual-resource list has parallel syntax
KK-L3 RESOLVED — task-board and release descriptions no longer calque English
KK-S01 PASS — concise natural Conduct row, same scope and destination as English

Exact-final English back-translation:

Trace-First Workflow (TFW) makes work inspectable and able to be continued. TFW is a methodology for joint human–AI work grounded in the Philosophy of Trace. Purpose, legitimate authority, judgment, acceptance of the result, accountability, and responsibility for stopping the work remain with the human; agents work only within defined bounds. A Trace is neither a raw copy of chat nor hidden reasoning, but deliberately selected context preserved for the long term. It retains decisions, the result or current state, evidence, limits, and information needed for continuation.

Exact-final Russian back-translation:

Trace-First Workflow (TFW) позволяет проверять работу и продолжать её. TFW — методология совместной работы человека и ИИ, основанная на Философии Следа. Цель, законные полномочия, суждение, принятие результата, подотчётность и ответственность за остановку работы остаются за человеком; агенты работают только в заданных границах. След — не необработанная копия чата и не скрытое рассуждение, а намеренно отобранный и долговременно сохранённый контекст. В нём остаются решения, результат или текущее состояние, доказательства, ограничения и сведения, необходимые для продолжения.

The critic reconfirmed the complete practical function set, seven newcomer answers, 11/11 command parity, Edition/lifecycle/path/navigation parity, zero board/state, strict UTF-8, the human/agent boundary, anti-paraphrase constraint, and source-growth provenance.

One new finding was preserved rather than triggering an endless taste-only loop:

ID Severity Exact location Finding Disposition
KK-F-L1 LOW Semantic-source notice: [`README.md`](README.md) пен [Project North Star] пен is not the most natural conjunction allomorph after the written identifier; және would avoid the foreign-identifier suffix issue ACCEPTED NON-BLOCKING — meaning, authority, function, identifiers, and navigation are unchanged; critic explicitly accepted the exact blob and advised not reopening solely for this taste-level defect

Final counts: original findings resolved 12/12; added Conduct row 1/1 PASS; new HIGH 0, MEDIUM 0, LOW 1; unresolved HIGH 0.

Exact-final decision: ACCEPT commit 5d7edc01…, KK blob 571884b2…. This remains a language-critic result, not formal TFW REVIEW.

8. Formal REVIEW Return #1 Recheck

Formal REVIEW found that the prior exact-final acceptance missed the non-authoritative ⛔ BLOCKED glyph. The same Kazakh critic therefore re-read the complete new English source and Kazakh localization rather than checking only the changed line.

Russian:

Цель, законные полномочия, суждение, принятие результата, подотчётность и ответственность за остановку работы остаются за человеком; агенты работают только в заданных границах.

All six human responsibilities and bounded agents remain exact. The full practical ledger, seven newcomer answers, 11/11 commands, 35/35 destinations with the intentional board-anchor difference, Edition/path/URL parity, zero Kazakh board/state, strict UTF-8, naturalness, anti-paraphrase boundary, and source-growth provenance all pass. Every prior KK-H1, KK-M1KK-M8, KK-L1KK-L3, and KK-S01 disposition remains closed.

KK-F-L1 (пен after the written identifier) remains LOW, OPEN, NON-BLOCKING. Its material threshold did not change; meaning, authority, function, identifiers, and navigation remain clear, so it does not reopen the exact blob.

Final REVIEW-return counts: HIGH encountered 2, resolved 2, unresolved 0; MEDIUM 8/8 resolved; original LOW 3/3 resolved; persistent non-blocking LOW 1; new findings 0; unresolved HIGH 0.

REVIEW-return exact-final decision: ACCEPT commit 36075b486ae2adffeb7d19293f16606d3cc22a3f, KK blob 42db59ee1aa37590333aad30c64a56b4f40e06eb. This is a language-critic result, not a formal TFW REVIEW verdict.
