           Translate the en/ja draft posts of the zh article. Read the two marker files at these fixed paths — each holds one draft path, or is empty when that locale was not scaffolded:

           Japanese: ${vars.work_dir}/31-publish/${vars.run_date}_20_translate-localize_ja-post-path.txt
           For each: if the marker is empty or unreadable, skip that locale. Otherwise edit the named file in place — translate the frontmatter title and the whole markdown body to natural English/Japanese respectively. Keep frontmatter keys, dates, URLs, code, and the assets/ image reference untouched. Set draft: false (the translated post publishes to the site) and remove any canonical: frontmatter line pointing at a different locale's URL.
+          Also translate these frontmatter values into the target locale, keeping all other keys untouched: description, seo_title, seo_description, and each key_points item. Each stays one coherent standalone sentence that summarizes the same story as the zh source — never splice fragments from different items or stories into one, and key_points must keep exactly the same number of items as the zh post. The 2026-10-23 run failed this: spliced description/key_points had to be hand-repaired before sync.
+          Series names are fixed product identity, never invented or freely translated: the en series name is "Daily AI Stew" (show "Salty Talk"); the ja series name is "デイリーAIシチュー" (show "咸話咸説"). Never emit 毎日AIブレンド, ごった煮, "Daily AI Medley", "hodgepodge", "Daily AI Briefing", or the zh name 每日AI乱炖 in en/ja prose or link text (a URL keeps whatever it contains). Openers: en "Your Daily AI Stew from Robin, on Salty Talk."; ja "咸話咸説のデイリーAIシチュー、Robin がお届けします。" Listen links: en "[listen to Daily AI Stew · <date>](<url>)", ja "[デイリーAIシチュー · <date> を聴く](<url>)". In each key_points item keep the "Label — sentence" shape: the label before " — " stays a short phrase of at most 14 characters (ja) / 28 (en), never truncated with "…". The local translate-validate stage rewrites known retired names deterministically and fails the publish gate on leftovers.
           Keep frontmatter valid YAML: double-quote any value containing ': '. Read the surfdash translator glossary if present at the surfdash checkout root under .agents/skills/surfdash-translator/glossary.md and apply its terminology.
           Do not wait for operator confirmation. Each edited file must end fully in its target language.
