1. Frozen Draft Lineage¶
| Object | Exact value |
|---|---|
| Draft commit | ff26598abc0053981ef19c25ba28cec5a6730c9d |
| English source | README.md, blob cc43a3cb1ec2a40350957a8aacd327f323c0f106, prefix before ## Task Board |
| Kazakh target | README.kk.md, blob d1d5e80b5ad45d7dc6c4efc8926d9b5bae22b4fe |
| Self-audit packet | EV__phase-b2__project_readme_localization.md, blob c88f01542d790a536e3850ad38c44dec9a486f4e |
| 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.

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.

В нём остаются решения, результат или текущее состояние, доказательства, ограничения и сведения, необходимые для продолжения.
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-M1–KK-M8, KK-L1–KK-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.
