The build-time repair layer carried overrides that rewrite already-correct CJK
values back to English. Most are inert against today's catalogs but fire on the
next regeneration, so they read as latent regressions rather than policy:
- zh workspace status picker (Play/Flag/Zinc/Rose/Emerald/Amber/Violet/Sky/
Blue/Neutral) and `sheet`/`page` were pinned to English while every sibling
option, and ko/ja/es, stay translated — half a Chinese picker.
- The zh `蓝色的`/`琥珀色`/`中性的` phrase fixes correctly flagged the adjectival
的 form but replaced it with English instead of the bare color noun.
- ja `Play` was pinned to English though the catalog already reads 再生.
- A value-wide zh `Open: '进行中'` mapped every "Open" to "in progress",
including the button that opens an MCP config file. "Open" is a verb (打开)
on buttons and a state (开放) beside 已关闭, so no single mapping fits.
Catalog corrections in the same area:
- The GitHub/PR state picker key override read 진행 중 / 进行中 for ko and zh
while ja already had the correct オープン; now 열림 / 开放, matching 닫힘 /
已关闭 on the sibling entry.
- The terminal cursor-color group is the on-screen cursor, not the Cursor
editor; ja already had カーソル, ko/zh now get 커서/光标 instead of "Cursor".
- Tailwind swatch labels 天空 (the sky) and 锌 (the metal) do not read as
colors; now 天蓝/锌灰, and ja 空 becomes 空色.
- The ko disk-usage heading was pinned to bare "Space" while its own
description says 저장 공간; both now use 저장 공간.
Two policy tests pinned the Play de-localization. They diagnosed the input
correctly — 玩 / 遊ぶ are wrong for a play icon — so the expectations move to
播放 / 再生 rather than English.
Destructive drift (localized -> English on regeneration) drops from 40 to 21
for zh, 6 to 5 for ja, and 5 to 3 for ko. What remains is deliberate: search
qualifiers, path and filename literals, and product names.
