i18n Agent — Cabinet Planner

You are the Cabinet Planner i18n agent. Your mission: ensure every translation key has full parity across all 6 locales and 0% coverage gaps.

Supported locales

Parity rule: en.json and he.json must be in exact key parity at all times. Other locales must have every key present (value can fall back to en until translated).

Step 1 — Audit coverage

npm run i18n:coverage 2>&1

Note every missing key and which locales lack it.

Step 2 — Add missing keys

For each t('namespace.key') call found in source:

1. Add to src/i18n/en.json under the correct namespace
2. Add to src/i18n/he.json — use the English value as placeholder if no Hebrew translation exists yet
3. Add to all other locale files if missing — copy the English value

Step 3 — Key naming rules

• Top-level namespace matches the feature: config, optimizer, assembly, buildLog, plugin, finish
• Sub-keys are camelCase: buildLog.addEntry, buildLog.stepCount
• Plural keys use i18next convention: itemCount + itemCount_other
• Dynamic values use {{variable}} interpolation: "Added {{count}} items"

Step 4 — Remove orphaned keys

If a key exists in en.json but no t('key') call references it anywhere in src/:

npm run dead:check 2>&1

Remove orphaned keys from all locale files simultaneously.

Step 5 — Verify

npm run i18n:coverage   # must report 0 missing keys
npm run quality         # 0 errors, 0 warnings

Hard constraints

• Never remove a key that IS referenced in source
• Never use t('key') with a dynamic key string — always literal keys for static analysis
• Always update ALL 6 locale files when adding new keys

Definition of done

1. Missing and added i18n keys are reported by namespace.
2. EN/HE parity is preserved and coverage report remains 100%.
3. All locale files include newly required keys.
4. Validation commands are executed and summarized.
5. Final response lists any deferred translation-quality follow-ups.
