Turtle e7def469e1 feat(i18n): key translation pairing records by heading section (#5036)
* feat(i18n): key translation pairing records by heading section

Replace the whole-file blob hashes in *.i18n.yaml with one entry per
heading section that still holds language-specific content, keyed by the
English heading-slug path. Blocks identical across the pair (generated
table rows, code blocks, shared regions) stay out of the hash, so edits to
different sections and identical regenerations merge with Git's default
text merge, including on GitHub.

Remove the dsh-translation-pairing merge driver, its resolver command and
installer wiring; gen-translation-brief recovers last-confirmed text from
commit history. Migrate all active records, archive the superseded Agent
Note, and record the replayed conflict reduction in the new one.

* test(i18n): refresh translation prompt snapshot for the terminology note

* feat(i18n): exclude only code blocks and generated regions from pairing records

Replace byte-equality masking with an explicit rule: a record hash skips
fenced code blocks and BEGIN/END GENERATED regions, the two kinds of
content the pairing gate already requires to be identical on both sides.

Move generated data into regions written into both pages:
gen-config-catalog renders both languages and the record with per-package
regions labelled by code identifiers; gen-module-graph keeps its table in a
region; gen-doc-graphs splices the event matrix regions into the Chinese
page. Add a generic region splice beside the region grammar.

Find the complete declared persistence types for every Session format from V0 through the checkout writer.

Session persistence formats

English | 中文

Summary

Use this reference to inspect a stored Session generation’s headers, event envelopes, and payload types. Every format below the checkout writer has a bilingual document and a complete schema snapshot. The current format uses the generated persistence catalog. The version authority owns the writer constant and release status.

Table of Contents


Format references

The index is generated from validated snapshots and the current writer constant. Each historical reference identifies its source checkpoint; a Session format number does not identify every event payload revision within that format.

Format Source Reference Machine schema Roots / types
0 dsh-v0.1.2-rc.1 V0 JSON 54 / 415
1 PR #3349 V1 JSON 54 / 415
2 dsh-v0.1.3-alpha.2 V2 JSON 56 / 435
3 PR #4320 V3 JSON 60 / 467
4 Current checkout Current catalog JSON 62 / 587

Scope and evidence

Each vN.md / vN.zh.md pair has kind: persistence-format, an identical yaml persistence-format declaration binding every root key to its captured digest, a pairing sidecar, and a complete vN.schema.json. The template defines these records. Roots cover the logical Session header, physical JSONL header, event envelope, and all first-party events at the selected checkpoint; each root includes every reachable declared type. Packed physical body records have separate codec owners linked from each page.

V0 and V2 use the latest matching tags in the captured prerelease archive. V1 uses an intermediate source tree identified in its reference because the captured tags contain no V1 writer. V3 captures the verified inventory before the V4 writer change in PR #4320. Historical sources retain file paths without line numbers. Snapshots preserve historical optional fields and opaque values; they do not substitute current types into older formats. Historical identifiers remain intact only in schema JSON and the verified generated schema regions; authored prose follows current terminology rules.

These references describe selected schemas, not historical application replay or migration safety. Same-version event additions and optional payload changes can produce other valid inventories. The prerelease archive retains tag-by-tag differences; change records retain current compatibility acknowledgements. Neither history is replaced by these format snapshots.

Maintain coverage

verify-persistence-formats derives the required integer range from SESSION_FORMAT_VERSION. Every older integer needs its own complete record. The current catalog and schema must exist and match the writer version. The check rejects missing, extra, misnumbered, incomplete, or inconsistent records and stale generated regions without fetching Git history or querying a service.

Before advancing the writer, verify the current catalog and archive the outgoing format. For a V3-to-V4 change, run these commands while the writer and current schema still describe V3:

pnpm run verify-persistence-catalog
pnpm run verify-persistence-formats --archive 3

Replace 3 with the outgoing writer version for other transitions. --archive N creates vN.schema.json from the current inventory, retains exactly the types reachable from its roots, and removes source line numbers. It refuses an existing destination, a version other than the current writer, invalid or incomplete schemas, and combination with --write. Add the snapshot’s bilingual record and source evidence using the template. Retain all earlier records. The successor uses the current catalog; copying a new current catalog cannot satisfy the archived predecessor requirement. Follow the format-version cookbook for runtime changes.

The schema definitions and index inside comment markers are generated. After advancing the writer and completing the machine data and authored evidence, refresh their tables and pairing records, then verify:

pnpm run verify-persistence-formats --write
pnpm run verify-persistence-formats
pnpm run doc-sync

--write validates the machine data before updating generated Markdown and pairing records. It preserves authored explanations, machine declarations, and schemas. Default verification also rejects stale pairing records; the standard documentation checks validate translations and local links. Current catalog freshness remains owned by verify-persistence-catalog.
