 - **`verify-translation-pairing` joins `doc-sync`.** The gate ([scripts/verify-translation-pairing.ts](../../../../scripts/verify-translation-pairing.ts)) enforces: every discovered, non-excluded source has a complete pair; every existing pair is complete (all three files) and consistent (both hashes match, the Chinese side and every authored English source carry their switchers while listed generated English sources are exempt, structural signatures identical); and excluded generated, instruction, or bilingual-by-construction files stay unpaired. [scripts/translation-pairing.manifest.json](../../../../scripts/translation-pairing.manifest.json) contains only explicit exclusions, so no requirement can bypass discovery and receive a weaker check. Source-oriented code gates consume a `.zh.md` fence sequence as a derivative only when its unsuffixed sibling has the same tracked fences in the same order with byte-identical bodies; an incomplete, reordered, reclassified, or changed sequence stays independent, so the owning code gate or pairing gate reports the mismatch.
 - **One corpus-wide requirement.** Every document in scope requires a complete pair from creation; the policy has no per-file rollout state, date cutoff, or README-specific class. README discovery covers every case-insensitive README basename outside vendored, dependency, and ignored build-output trees, including future top-level directories. A site-published pair uses `pairedPages()` so the root locale projects `.zh.md` and `/en/` projects `.md`; creating a counterpart alone does not publish it.
 - **Pairing records are metadata, not Cordis Loader configuration.** Cordis configuration discovery accepts actual `.cordis.yml` and `.cordis.yaml` files while excluding `*.i18n.yaml`, even when the document name contains `cordis`. This preserves validation of executable Loader entries without parsing translation hashes as configuration.
- **Translation is agent work with human review.** The committed workflow is [.agents/skills/dsh-translate-docs](../../../skills/dsh-translate-docs/SKILL.md), following the same pattern as [dsh-code-review](../../../skills/dsh-code-review/SKILL.md): the skill carries the workflow and defers to the docs as sources of truth. The skill directs the orchestrating agent to delegate translation writing to a subagent.
+- **Translation is agent work with human review.** Routine changes use the direct one-pass path owned by the [lightweight-translation decision](2026-08-08-lightweight-routine-documentation-translation.md). The [extended translation skill](../../../skills/dsh-translate-docs/SKILL.md) retains delegated translation and the other heavier mechanisms for explicit user invocation; both paths defer to the documentation contracts as their sources of truth.

 ## Industry precedent

-Paired sibling files with locale suffixes are the dominant Chinese big-tech convention (ant-design `index.zh-CN.md`/`index.en-US.md`; arco-design `README.zh-CN.md` with a top-of-file switcher; Apache ShardingSphere's 387 `.cn.md`/`.en.md` pairs) — but none of those repos *enforce* pairing or consistency in CI; the convention holds by review alone. Consistency automation exists outside China: MDN's `l10n.sourceCommit` front-matter fingerprint, Vue's Ryu-Cho action (upstream-commit watcher that opens issues/PRs for stale translations), Kubernetes' localization drift scripts, and Microsoft's Azure co-op-translator (source-hash-driven LLM re-translation in CI). This design combines the two: the Chinese-ecosystem file layout with a hash-pair gate, plus a committed agent skill in place of a bot service.
