* fix(#2402): honor response_language across orchestrator output + UAT checkpoint renderer Replays the in-flight bot branch fix/2402-response-language-orchestrator-coverage (seven commits, never pushed) onto current origin/next as a single squashed commit. The original work was substantial and correct; this commit preserves its full scope, trimmed where rebase conflicts + workflow size budgets required it. Three independent layers where response_language was being dropped are closed: Layer 1 — orchestrator-facing directives across workflows. Adds the strong "All user-facing output in this workflow MUST be presented in {response_language}; technical terms, code, paths, and subagent prompts stay in English" directive to ~40 workflows that previously either lacked it entirely (verify-work, new-project, new-milestone, quick, manager, and ~35 more) or carried only the weak subagent-prompt-only form (plan-phase, execute-phase). The directive covers narration between tool calls and banner output, not just the AskUserQuestion prompts. Layer 2 — UAT checkpoint renderer (src/uat.cts). buildCheckpoint now accepts an optional responseLanguage parameter and renders the frame strings ("CHECKPOINT: Verification Required", "Type `pass` or describe what's wrong.") in any of 9 languages (English/Spanish/French/German/Portuguese/Japanese/ Chinese/Korean/Italian) with an alias table covering ~30 input variants (en, es, español, ja, 日本語, etc.). cmdRenderCheckpoint reads config.response_language via loadConfig(cwd) and passes it through, so the byte-for-byte block verify-work.md reprints verbatim is already localized when written — preserving the anti-injection hygiene rule at verify-work.md (the model is forbidden to translate after the fact). CJK display width is computed by East Asian Width property ranges (W/F) so the right ║ border of the banner stays aligned for full-width characters. English fallback is byte-identical to the pre-fix behavior when response_language is unset or unrecognized. Layer 3 — literal English report templates in execute-phase. The top-of- workflow directive covers all template sites (templates are a structural source, not literal output). Inline render-language notes that previously sat at each template site were removed during the squash because they pushed execute-phase.md over its frozen pre-phase-6 byte ceiling (93600 — ADR-857 Phase 6 capstone). The single top directive covers the same surface with fewer bytes. Also extends src/docs.cts and src/init.cts to propagate response_language into the init JSON bundle of the additional workflows so the directive can read it. Tests added: - tests/uat.test.cjs: buildCheckpoint with unset/unrecognized language falls back to English default; recognized language swaps only the two frame strings while structural lines stay untouched; CJK display-width regression (independent recomputation of East Asian Width W/F ranges). - tests/workspace.test.cjs, tests/docs-update.test.cjs: response_language wiring through docs.cts/init.cts. References: #2402; reporter's three-layer triage + Layer-4 follow-up; the byte-for-byte anti-injection hygiene rule at verify-work.md (the reason Layer 2 must be renderer-side, not model-translated). This is a squash of the in-flight bot branch — seven commits representing the original implementation plus its subsequent fix/CJK-padding/test/ changeset/regen cycles, none of which were ever pushed or PR'd. The squash captures the final coherent state. * chore(#2402): backfill pr:2457 in .changeset/2402-response-language-orchestrator-coverage.md * chore(#2402): regen golden + size baseline after rebase against #2315 (PR #2451) Rebase conflicts were entirely in generated artifacts (golden-install-parity fixtures + workflow-size-baseline.json). After taking theirs during rebase, regenerated cleanly against the merged source tree.

Seeds beat deferred items because they:
- Preserve WHY the idea matters (not just WHAT)
- Define WHEN to surface (trigger conditions, not manual scanning)
- Track breadcrumbs (code references, related decisions)
- Auto-present at the right time via new-milestone scan
One-shot capture: the seed file is written immediately from the idea text alone. Trigger / Why / Scope are optional enrichment — they can be provided now or added later. The file is never gated behind questions.
Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for the idea summary.First, check for an enrich flag:
if echo "$ARGUMENTS" | grep -qE '\-\-enrich[[:space:]]+SEED-[0-9]+'; then
ENRICH_TARGET=$(echo "$ARGUMENTS" | grep -oE 'SEED-[0-9]+')
SEED_FILE=$(ls .planning/seeds/${ENRICH_TARGET}-*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1)
# Skip to enrich-seed step — do not prompt for $IDEA
else
if [ -n "$ARGUMENTS" ]; then
IDEA="$ARGUMENTS"
else
# Ask only when no arguments at all
# What's the idea? (one sentence)
IDEA="<user response>"
fi
fi
If $ENRICH_TARGET is set, skip straight to the enrich-seed step. Do not set $IDEA and do not run create-seed-dir, generate-seed-id, write-seed, collect-breadcrumbs, commit-seed, or confirm.
If $ARGUMENTS is non-empty and contains no --enrich flag, treat the full value as $IDEA (no prompt).
Only prompt for the idea when $ARGUMENTS is empty and no enrich target is present. Store the response as $IDEA.
Generate slug from idea summary.
Write `.planning/seeds/SEED-{PADDED}-{slug}.md` immediately with sensible defaults:trigger_when: default is"when relevant"— the seed will surface during any new-milestone scan; the user can narrow it later via--enrichscope: default is"unknown"— the user can update it via--enrich

# SEED-{PADDED}: {$IDEA}
## Why This Matters
_To be filled in. Run `/gsd:capture --seed --enrich SEED-{PADDED}` to add context._
## When to Surface
**Trigger:** when relevant
This seed will surface during `/gsd:new-milestone` when the milestone scope matches.
## Scope Estimate
**Unknown** — run `/gsd:capture --seed --enrich SEED-{PADDED}` to estimate effort.
## Breadcrumbs
_No breadcrumbs collected yet._
## Notes
_Captured via one-shot seed capture. Enrich with trigger, why, and scope at your convenience._
Extract one or two key terms from $IDEA (the most distinctive noun or phrase) and store as $KEYWORD.
# Derive a single keyword for breadcrumb search.
# Lower-case, strip punctuation, take the first token longer than 2 chars.
KEYWORD=$(printf '%s' "$IDEA" \
| tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' \
| tr -cs 'a-z0-9' '\n' \
| awk 'length > 2 {print; exit}')
KEYWORD="${KEYWORD:-seed}" # fallback to literal "seed" if extraction yields nothing
# Find files related to the idea keywords ($KEYWORD derived from $IDEA)
grep -rl "$KEYWORD" --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" --include="*.md" . 2>/dev/null | head -10
Also check:
- Current STATE.md for related decisions
- ROADMAP.md for related phases
- todos/ for related captured ideas
If any breadcrumbs are found, update the Breadcrumbs section of the seed file.
Store relevant file paths as $BREADCRUMBS.
If response_language is set: All user-facing questions, prompts, and explanations in this workflow MUST be presented in {response_language}. Technical terms, code, file paths, and subagent prompts stay in English — only user-facing output is translated.
"{$IDEA}" File: .planning/seeds/SEED-{PADDED}-{slug}.md
Trigger and scope are set to defaults. Run /gsd:capture --seed --enrich SEED-{PADDED}
to add trigger conditions, rationale, and scope estimate at your convenience.
This seed will surface automatically when you run /gsd:new-milestone.

<step name="enrich-seed">
**Optional enrichment — only run this step when `--enrich` flag is present.**
If `--enrich` flag is in `$ARGUMENTS`:
- `$ENRICH_TARGET` and `$SEED_FILE` are already set by `parse-idea`. Derive `$SEED_ID` from `$ENRICH_TARGET` (e.g. `SEED_ID="$ENRICH_TARGET"`). If `$SEED_FILE` is empty, fall back to the most-recently modified file in `.planning/seeds/` and set `$SEED_ID` from its filename.
- Ask focused questions to build a complete seed:
**Text mode (`workflow.text_mode: true` in config or `--text` flag):** Set `TEXT_MODE=true` if `--text` is present in `$ARGUMENTS` OR `text_mode` from init JSON is `true`. When TEXT_MODE is active, replace every `AskUserQuestion` call with a plain-text numbered list and ask the user to type their choice number. This is required for non-Claude runtimes (OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.) where `AskUserQuestion` is not available.
