Design documents, implementation plans, and spec proposals. Per-package README.md remains the normative reference for that package's public surface; the documents here cover cross-package contracts and the reasoning behind them.

Four rules go with it:
- Links stay within a language. An English document links to
other.md; the Japanese one links toother.ja.md. Never mix, so a reader never falls out of their language mid-chain. - While the migration is unfinished, a link from an English document to a not-yet-translated file is marked
(ja)on first mention — repeating it on every inline line-link to the same document would be noise. That is honest about where the reader lands. Drop the marker when the target is translated. - Rename only when the English version is ready. Moving a Japanese file to
.ja.mdbefore its.mdexists breaks every existing reference todocs/<name>.mdfrom code, examples, and READMEs. - A reference to a file that no longer exists is a commit permalink. A relative link 404s and the line numbers cited alongside it stop meaning anything, so point at the last commit that still had the file —
https://github.com/wcstack/wcstack/blob/<full-sha>/<path>#L<n>— and name the deleting commit on first mention. This is the one place absolute URLs are correct; everything that still exists stays relative. The synth-playground prototypewcs-synth.js(deleted incbd5598e, cited at1e26a2a9) is the case this rule was written for.
.md files not listed below are still Japanese; they are translated on demand, priority given to whatever code or a README points at.
Translated
That is the whole priority set — every document code, an example, or a README points at. What remains untranslated is the internal design notes and implementation plans (*-tag-design.md, *-impl-plan.md, state-*.md, io-node-*.md, architecture-hardening/01-08, 11), translated on demand as they are touched.
Staying Japanese — internal strategy and council records
These are internal working documents, not part of the published surface, so they keep a Japanese .md and get no English counterpart:
