1. Frozen Draft Lineage¶
| Object | Exact value |
|---|---|
| Draft commit | ff26598abc0053981ef19c25ba28cec5a6730c9d |
| English source | README.md, blob cc43a3cb1ec2a40350957a8aacd327f323c0f106, prefix before ## Task Board |
| Russian target | README.ru.md, blob d9f3c7af7a0cf9708a548ae5be5c410939186599 |
| 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 complete practical-function ledger: hero/opening; Editions; product, research/analysis, engineering, and non-code use cases; new/existing/configured Quick Start; FAQ; How It Works; root and .tfw/ structures; adapters; concepts/lifecycle; update path; public routes; and all seven newcomer questions.
The semantic minimum fixed human purpose, legitimate authority, judgment, acceptance, accountability, and stop responsibility; bounded agents; selected durable Trace; the exclusions for raw chat, hidden reasoning, deterministic reproduction, automatic truth, and self-maintaining documentation; and the direct essay route without a North Star mirror.
The fact packet fixed Edition names, all commands/paths/URLs/lifecycle identifiers, English semantic authority, no localized board, and this exact command set:
/tfw-config, /tfw-docs, /tfw-handoff, /tfw-init, /tfw-knowledge, /tfw-plan, /tfw-release, /tfw-research, /tfw-resume, /tfw-review, /tfw-update.
Severity was fixed before review: HIGH blocks for a material missing function, meaning/fact/authority/navigation drift, exact-identifier change, or serious naturalness/calque/translation-smell failure; MEDIUM is a real local clarity/quality defect without lost function; LOW/taste is non-blocking. The critic was also told to treat the 1,485→2,129 English growth only as a functional/provenance question, never as a compression target.
3. Draft Functional Verdict¶
PASS with editorial findings; HIGH = 0. The critic found a complete practical Russian README rather than a summary or second essay. All required blocks and seven newcomer actions are present. The 11-command set, Edition names, lifecycle tokens, and destinations are exact; the only intentional target difference is English #task-board versus Russian README.md#task-board. Russian contains no board or operational state.
The source-growth provenance test passed: Editions additions serve current choice/copy/migration facts; Quick Start additions serve three project states, installation, and exact commands; Key Concepts additions serve current lifecycle/roles/modes/budgets/evidence/version mechanics. Russian does not amplify them into a new philosophy or capability.
4. Required Definition Back-Translation¶
Critic's English back-translation of the frozen Russian definition:
Trace-First Workflow (TFW) makes work inspectable/checkable and suitable for continuation. TFW is a methodology for joint human and AI work, grounded in the Philosophy of Trace. Purpose [literally, “goal”], legitimate authority, judgment, acceptance, accountability for the outcome, and the obligation to stop the work remain with humans; agents carry out limited assignments. A Trace is selected durable context, not a raw chat log and not a hidden chain of reasoning. It preserves decisions, a result or current state, evidence, boundaries, and information for continuation.

5. Complete Draft Findings and Dispositions¶
| ID | Severity | Category | Frozen location / quote | Finding and requested correction | Executor disposition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RU-D01 | MEDIUM | Terminology / calque | Definition: отобранный долговечный контекст |
Conspicuous calque in the central definition; use отобранный устойчивый во времени контекст or the shorter stable variant |
FIXED with отобранный устойчивый во времени контекст |
| RU-D02 | MEDIUM | Semantic precision | Research use: проверенные гипотезы |
Can imply confirmed rather than tested/refuted hypotheses; use гипотезы и результаты их проверки or проверявшиеся гипотезы |
FIXED with гипотезы и результаты их проверки |
| RU-D03 | MEDIUM | Naturalness / calque | Audience heading: проводят решения через несколько команд |
Mirrors English and is not idiomatic; use a natural execution-across-teams formulation | FIXED with обеспечивают выполнение решений в нескольких командах |
| RU-D04 | MEDIUM | Action clarity | Prompts: выполни её README; выполни .tfw/quickstart.md |
A file is not “executed”; tell the agent to follow or execute its instructions | FIXED in all three prompt occurrences with следуй инструкциям… / выполни инструкции из… |
| RU-D05 | MEDIUM | Terminology / calque | How It Works: «Самоосведомлённость» |
Artificial calque that reinforces the anthropomorphism being denied | FIXED as Если проект называют «осознающим себя», имеются в виду… |
| RU-D06 | MEDIUM | Mechanics clarity | Следы задач сохраняют кандидатов |
Does not say candidates for what; newcomer meaning is opaque | FIXED as сведения-кандидаты для долговременного знания |
| RU-D07 | LOW | Semantic precision | Opening: в закрытом чате |
“Closed/private” differs from expired/unavailable chat | FIXED as в исчезнувшем или недоступном чате |
| RU-D08 | LOW | Orthography | не-технического |
Standard form is нетехнического |
FIXED |
| RU-D09 | LOW | Naturalness | RES и KNW используются по условиям проекта |
Understandable but non-idiomatic conditional-gate wording | FIXED as проходят только при выполнении соответствующих условий проекта |
| RU-D10 | LOW | Technical wording | Update: получает настроенный upstream, относит изменения |
Heavy wording suggests acquiring upstream as an object | FIXED as обращается к настроенному upstream and классифицирует изменения |
| RU-S01 | SELF | Baseline function | Key Concepts conduct route | Self-audit found that the frozen rewrite had replaced the baseline Conduct row while expanding current mechanics | FIXED by adding a concise conduct row in EN/RU/KK, sourced to conventions; no unrelated exposition |
Draft critic counts: HIGH 0, MEDIUM 6, LOW 4; unresolved HIGH 0. All ten critic findings were corrected, including non-blocking LOW items; no taste-only rewrite beyond a recorded finding was introduced.
6. Exact-Final Production Object¶
The dispositioned Russian blob 54c24eff4c5c6a0f13e0f80907ac1c3ba2f48a89 was committed at 5d7edc01f91cfa6dcfd936a90ac6a3e2685ae655 together with bounded EN/KK 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; RU blob 54c24eff4c5c6a0f13e0f80907ac1c3ba2f48a89. The critic re-read the complete English public prefix and Russian guide through git show/git cat-file; the live working tree was neither source nor target.
| ID | Exact-final result |
|---|---|
| RU-D01 | RESOLVED — отобранный устойчивый во времени контекст is natural and semantically stable |
| RU-D02 | RESOLVED — hypotheses plus verification results preserve tested/falsifiable meaning |
| RU-D03 | RESOLVED — audience heading is idiomatic and functionally equal |
| RU-D04 | RESOLVED — all three copyable actions clearly follow/execute instructions; paths unchanged |
| RU-D05 | RESOLVED — anthropomorphism is bounded without an artificial calque |
| RU-D06 | RESOLVED — knowledge candidates are clear to a newcomer |
| RU-D07 | RESOLVED — expired/unavailable-chat continuity problem is exact |
| RU-D08 | RESOLVED — orthography corrected |
| RU-D09 | RESOLVED — conditional gates are explicit |
| RU-D10 | RESOLVED — update sequence is natural and technically accurate |
| RU-S01 | PASS — concise natural Conduct row, same scope and destination as English |
Exact-final English back-translation of the corrected definition:
Trace-First Workflow (TFW) makes work inspectable/checkable and suitable for continuation. TFW is a methodology for joint human and AI work, grounded in the Philosophy of Trace. Purpose [literally, “goal”], legitimate authority, judgment, acceptance, accountability for the outcome, and the obligation to stop the work remain with humans; agents carry out limited assignments. A Trace is selected context that remains stable over time, not a raw chat log and not a hidden chain of reasoning. It preserves decisions, a result or current state, evidence, boundaries, and information for continuation.
The critic reconfirmed all six human responsibilities and bounded agents, the complete practical function set, 11/11 command parity, Edition/lifecycle identifiers, local/external navigation, strict UTF-8, zero board/state content, anti-paraphrase boundary, and the functional/provenance explanation for source growth.
Final counts: original findings resolved 10/10; new findings 0; open HIGH 0, MEDIUM 0, LOW 0; unresolved HIGH 0.
Exact-final decision: ACCEPT commit 5d7edc01…, RU blob 54c24eff…. This remains a language-critic result, not formal TFW REVIEW.
8. Formal REVIEW Return #1 Recheck¶
Formal REVIEW correctly found that the preceding exact-final acceptance was substantively wrong on two points: it accepted обязанность остановить работу as stop responsibility even though it states an unconditional duty, and it missed the non-authoritative ⛔ BLOCKED glyph. Sections 4 and 7 above remain unchanged as the visible record of that acceptance error; the new same-critic ruling below supersedes only their verdict for the earlier blob.
Exact objects and isolation¶
| Object | Exact value |
|---|---|
| REVIEW-return freeze | 36075b486ae2adffeb7d19293f16606d3cc22a3f |
| English source | README.md, blob 78644c954d1e51a3c9e422c514b4fef7e6a8a9ca, complete public prefix before ## Task Board |
| Russian target | README.ru.md, blob e67f45a79d4958e749fa53a4e90e2ab43e110d1e |
| Isolation | Same critic re-read both complete Git objects with git show/git cat-file; the live working tree was neither source nor modified |
| Review type | Isolated read-only language critique; not formal /tfw-review |
Prior-error closure¶
| Prior miss | Why the earlier acceptance was wrong | Exact correction | Closure |
|---|---|---|---|
RU-R1 — duty-to-stop wording |
An obligation to stop is not retained human responsibility and authority to decide whether stopping is warranted | Definition and How It Works now use ответственность за результат и за решение об остановке работы |
RESOLVED — the human decision and responsibility are explicit; no unconditional stop command remains |
RU-R2 — lifecycle glyph |
The prior object used a symbol absent from the authoritative mechanics | EN and RU now use ❌ BLOCKED |
RESOLVED — exact parity with conventions, glossary, and config |
Fresh definition back-translation and semantic table¶
Trace-First Workflow (TFW) makes work inspectable/checkable and suitable for continuation. TFW is a methodology for joint human and AI work, grounded in the Philosophy of Trace. Purpose, legitimate authority, judgment, acceptance, accountability for the outcome, and responsibility for the decision to stop the work remain with humans; agents carry out limited assignments. A Trace is selected context that remains stable over time, not a raw chat log and not a hidden chain of reasoning. It preserves decisions, a result or current state, evidence, boundaries, and information for continuation.
| Required invariant | Exact Russian | Same-critic ruling |
|---|---|---|
| purpose | Цель ... остаётся у людей |
Preserved |
| legitimate authority | легитимные полномочия ... остаются у людей |
Preserved explicitly |
| judgment | суждение |
Preserved explicitly |
| acceptance | приёмка |
Preserved and idiomatic for workflow |
| accountability | ответственность за результат |
Preserved explicitly |
| retained responsibility and authority to decide to stop | ответственность ... за решение об остановке работы остаётся у людей |
Faithful — the grammatical object is the human decision about stopping, not a duty to stop; preceding legitimate authority preserves decision authority |
| bounded agents | агенты выполняют ограниченные поручения |
Preserved; no independent authority |
How It Works repeats the same corrected boundary naturally and keeps agents inside an approved bounded contract.
Lifecycle and full-object verdict¶
The same critic checked ❌ BLOCKED in the exact English and Russian objects against .tfw/conventions.md, .tfw/glossary.md, and .tfw/project_config.yaml: RU contains one authoritative occurrence and zero ⛔ BLOCKED occurrences. All pipeline identifiers and the ❌ REJECTED distinction remain exact.
The complete practical-function ledger, seven newcomer answers, 11/11 command parity, Edition/path/URL/navigation parity, zero Russian board/state, strict UTF-8, anti-paraphrase boundary, current-fact corrections, and source-growth provenance all pass. Previously fixed RU-D01–RU-D10 and RU-S01 remain resolved. No new HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW finding was reported.
Final REVIEW-return counts: prior critic misses acknowledged 2, resolved 2; new HIGH 0, MEDIUM 0, LOW 0; unresolved HIGH 0.
REVIEW-return exact-final decision: ACCEPT commit 36075b486ae2adffeb7d19293f16606d3cc22a3f, RU blob e67f45a79d4958e749fa53a4e90e2ab43e110d1e. This acceptance supersedes the flawed prior language verdict for the earlier blob and is not a formal TFW REVIEW verdict.
