Wave 3 / Step 9 of the remediation plan (Phase 1 — usable by a non-author).
The long-form review layer shipped Norwegian-locked: language-reviewer graded
unconditional Norwegian, voice-scrubber's gold standard was 'approved Norwegian
editions', and the editorial/content craft gates pointed at a 'skrivekontrakt §C2'
that does not ship. A non-Norwegian adopter would get English prose graded against
Norwegian idiom and a gate that depends on an unshipped contract.
- config/edition-state.template.json: add additive 'language' field (top-level,
default 'en') + a _doc entry. Threads into the language-dependent agents.
- agents/language-reviewer.md: new 'Language parameter' section — Norwegian-specific
checks (anglicism->Norwegian idiom, kanselli-stil) apply only when language=='no';
any other value grades that language's equivalents and never flags idiomatic
English as an anglicism. Default 'en'.
- agents/voice-scrubber.md: gold standard reframed to 'approved editions in the
configured language'; the Norwegian-chronicle calibration is the language=='no'
instantiation.
- agents/editorial-reviewer.md + agents/content-reviewer.md: the in-tree checklist
is now the operative, self-contained source of truth; Maskinrommet §C2 is an
optional upstream contract that does NOT ship (available only on the author's
runs). The gates work for an adopter without it.
- commands/newsletter.md: thread 'language' through the Step 6.5 cold-inputs and the
per-reviewer call inputs; the writing contract is now 'if it ships'.
Norwegian remains fully working when language: no (the author's case).
fact-reviewer.md was in the plan's file list but needed no change on inspection:
its F1-F4 checks (claims/quotes/numbers/sources) are language-agnostic; its
'Norwegian' mentions are boundary notes vs language-reviewer, which stay correct.
[skip-docs]: three-doc + version reconciliation is Step 21 (pre-review-gate); these
intermediate Wave commits are not pushed before the /trekreview gate.
Verify: edition-state JSON parses + has top-level language 'en'; language-reviewer
has 'language ==' references and no unconditional-Norwegian assertion; editorial
§C2 reframed to in-tree fallback ('operative source', 'does not ship'); agent
fixtures 35/35 pass; structural lint exit 0 (61 passed).
