## Launch prompt

```
Add left and right brain annotations (including localization) for any that are missing.
```

## Plan

> Anchor: operator direct instruction (standalone leaf content-fill task, §4.3 R2b).

**Goal:** Author the missing **left-brain** factual `LABELS` (tiered general→scientific→+fact
labels) for the rotating-pool clips that lack them, plus their **es/fr/ja** translations,
then rebuild + merge the manifest. Right-brain `affect` is auto-generated per scale for
every clip via `_affect_for_clip` — nothing missing there.

## Pre-state

- `main` at `5beee55` locally but **diverged from `origin/main`**: 11 merged-but-unpushed
  commits (the entire i18n localization feature + a video-loop safety-net fix) stranded
  locally; `origin/main` still at `eff43bd` (PR #29). Plus 3 files with an uncommitted
  "boots-silent / no auto-start" change. Two stale `--INPROGRESS` placeholders (0015, 0017).
- Annotation reality (from a read-only survey of `build_pool_manifest.py` + catalogs):
  right-brain `affect` present on all 41 clips (auto-per-scale); left-brain `LABELS`
  present on only 13 of 41. 28 pool clips had `"annotations": []`.

## Arc

1. **Scoped the task** — explored the annotation/i18n system; established that the gap was
   left-brain only (right-brain is auto-generated), 28 clips, + their es/fr/ja strings.
2. **Claimed session 0027** (peek showed the two stale placeholders; noted + proceeded).
3. **Surfaced the unclean baseline**; operator chose *"Push stranded, also commit dirty."*
   - Stashed the 3 dirty files, merged `origin/main`'s claim commit, **pushed the 11
     stranded commits** (`020219f`).
   - Committed the boots-silent change on `fix/boot-silent-no-autostart`, verified
     (299 pytest pass), **merged + pushed** (`7bd6c9a`).
4. **Annotation work** on `feat/left-brain-annotations`:
   - Added 28 `LABELS` entries (static tiered labels) to `build_pool_manifest.py`
     (Round-5 block); rebuilt manifest → all 41 clips annotated; extracted en catalog.
   - Dispatched **3 parallel translator subagents** (es/fr/ja) for the 67 new keys,
     matching existing catalog voice; fixed 2 ja `measure.*` values to the `約`/localized
     convention; merged fragments into catalogs; merged all 3 langs into the manifest.
   - Verified: 41 clips × en/es/fr/ja full key + tier-length parity; 299 pytest pass
     (3 pre-existing `cv2` env failures only); 37 i18n/manifest tests green; spot-checked
     translations. **Merged + pushed** (`934f60c`), deleted both branches.

## Cut state

- `main` == `origin/main` @ `934f60c`, clean tree, branches removed.
- 41/41 clips carry left+right annotations with full en/es/fr/ja parity.
- §9: local tests green. No PPE/E2E machinery exists for this app yet (pipeline is policy,
  not automated — §10.6); prod promotion stays operator-gated. Visual review deferred to
  operator (no Chrome on box).

## Operator plate

- **Review by eye** the 28 newly-labelled clips across all 4 languages in the running sim.
- The labels are **static**; the abyss/reef *creature* clips would benefit from a later
  **tracked-label** upgrade via author mode (couldn't auto-file as a tracker issue — the
  capture token returned 401 in this env; full context is in the session-0027 memory note).
- A few species IDs were inferred from clip META, not the frame (`reef_redsea`→anthias,
  `reef_flowergarden`→jack/scad+sergeant-major) — worth confirming at review.
- Two stale `--INPROGRESS` sessions (0015, 0017) remain unfinalized — likely the crashed
  sessions that stranded the 11 commits; left untouched for the operator.

## Next-session prompt

```
/goal Review the new left-brain annotations (all 28 newly-labelled pool clips, across en/es/fr/ja) by eye in the running simulator; correct any species/box that reads wrong, and decide whether the abyss/reef creature clips should get tracked labels via author mode.
```

## Deferred decisions

- **Static labels, not tracked.** Authored all 28 clips' left-brain labels as fixed-box
  `static_label`s rather than motion-tracked labels. Alternative: tracked labels (as the
  reef/abyss showcase clips use) so the box follows drifting creatures. Chose static because
  the footage wasn't eyeballed — fabricating track coordinates would claim precision I don't
  have. The abyss/reef creature clips are the ones that would most benefit from a later
  tracked-label upgrade via author mode.
- **Some species IDs inferred from clip metadata, not the footage.** `reef_redsea`→anthias,
  `reef_flowergarden`→jack/scad + sergeant-major — read from the clip META title/source.
  High-confidence from provenance, but worth an eyeball check.
- **`O-type` kept verbatim in es/fr/ja** (per the translation brief) rather than the more
  natural `tipo O` / `type O`. Minor; flagged by the es translator.
