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

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.
Claimed session 0027 (peek showed the two stale placeholders; noted + proceeded).
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).
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_labels 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.
