+# Execution Plan - Quiver v38 CLI i18n Read-only Commands
+
+## Execution Rules
+
+- Start only after v37 foundation is complete.
+- Keep every `--json` mode non-localized and parseable.
+- Reuse v37 catalog helpers; do not add a second i18n mechanism.

+3. `slice-02-flow-doctor-next-graph`

+# Quiver v38 - CLI i18n Read-only Commands
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-28
+**Status:** Completed
+**Source:** Continuation of the approved CLI i18n program.
+
+## Problem
+
+Read-only commands are the safest first migration after the i18n foundation because they have broad user visibility and low write risk.
+
+## Objective
+
+Migrate Quiver read-only human output to `en` and `es` while preserving JSON contracts and command snippets.
+
+## Scope
+
+### Included
+
+- `version`, `--version`, `--help`.
+- `dashboard`, `flow`, `doctor`, `next`, `graph`, `plan`.
+- `ai inspect`, `ai export`, `ai specs list`, `ai slices list`, `ai trace report`, and `ai approvals`.
+- Human mode, no-TTY/CI, `--no-color`, and supported `--json` modes.
+
+### Excluded
+
+- Commands that write files or call providers; those are covered by later specs.
+- Generated project documentation.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. All included read-only human outputs render in `en` and `es`.
+2. Configured project language is used without requiring `--lang`.
+3. `--lang` and `QUIVER_LANG` overrides work for all included commands.
+4. `--json` output remains parseable and schema-stable.
+5. Suggested commands, flags, ids, paths, provider names, and model ids remain untranslated.
+6. Tests cover both languages for representative normal, empty, warning, and error states.
+
+## Slice Roadmap
+
+| Slice | Title | Status | Dependencies |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| slice-00 | Read-only foundation | completed | none |
+| slice-01 | Version, dashboard, and help | completed | v37 complete |
+| slice-02 | Flow, doctor, next, graph, and plan | completed | slice-01 |
+| slice-03 | AI inspection and export read-only commands | completed | slice-01 |
+| slice-04 | Read-only tests and smokes | completed | slice-02, slice-03 |
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Do not localize JSON field names or stable codes.
+- Avoid duplicating catalog keys when one domain key is enough.
+- Keep compact dashboard layout readable in both languages.

+
+## How to Test (DETAILED - REQUIRED)
+
+### Required Environment
+
+- Node.js and npm available.
+- Repository dependencies installed.
+- `gh` available only for PR creation, not for runtime validation.
+
+### Worktree Access
+
+- Worktree: `/Users/fabrijk/Documents/Work/Proyectos Personales/nika/frameworks/quiver-v38-02`
+- Branch: `feature/QUIVER-38-02-v38-flow-doctor-next-graph`
+- Base: `main`
+
+### Run the Project
+
+```bash
+node bin/create-quiver.js flow --lang es
+node bin/create-quiver.js doctor --lang es
+node bin/create-quiver.js next --lang es --json
+node bin/create-quiver.js graph --lang es
+node bin/create-quiver.js plan --lang es
+node bin/create-quiver.js ai inspect --lang es
+node bin/create-quiver.js ai specs list --lang es
+node bin/create-quiver.js ai slices list --lang es
+node bin/create-quiver.js ai trace report --lang es
+node bin/create-quiver.js ai export --format markdown --lang es
+node bin/create-quiver.js ai export --format json --lang es
+node bin/create-quiver.js ai status --lang es
+node bin/create-quiver.js ai resume --lang es
+node bin/create-quiver.js ai approvals --lang es
+```
+
+### Use Cases
+
+- Run included read-only commands with `--lang es` and confirm labels/messages render in Spanish.
+- Run the same commands without `--lang` in a project configured with `"language": "es"` and confirm the configured project language is used.
+- Run included JSON modes and confirm stdout remains parseable JSON without localized field names.
+- Confirm suggested commands, flags, ids, paths, provider names, and model names remain exact and untranslated.
+- Confirm empty, warning, and blocker states render localized human text without changing machine-readable contracts.
+
+### Technical Verification
+
+```bash
+node --test tests/commands/flow.test.js tests/commands/doctor.test.js tests/commands/next.test.js tests/commands/graph.test.js tests/commands/plan.test.js tests/lib/i18n-catalog.test.js
+node --test tests/commands/ai-export.test.js tests/commands/ai-run-state.test.js tests/lib/ai-export-state.test.js tests/lib/ai-run-state.test.js tests/lib/i18n-catalog.test.js

+npm run package:quiver
+npm run smoke:create-quiver
+git diff --check
+node bin/create-quiver.js spec validate specs/quiver-v38-cli-i18n-read-only-commands --strict
+node bin/create-quiver.js check-slice specs/quiver-v38-cli-i18n-read-only-commands/slices/slice-04-read-only-tests-smokes/slice.json --local
+```
+
+## Evidence
+
+- Passed: focused slice-02 command/lib test set.
+- Passed: focused slice-03 AI command/lib test set.
+- Passed: `node --test tests/**/*.test.js` (562 tests).
+- Passed: `npm run package:quiver`.
+- Passed: `npm run smoke:create-quiver`.
+- Passed: `git diff --check`.
+- Passed: strict v38 spec validation.
+- Passed: `check-slice --local` with expected warning because the slice is already marked completed.
+
+## Rollback
+
+- Revert the v38 slice commits in this PR.
+- Re-run `node --test tests/**/*.test.js`.
+- Re-run `npm run package:quiver`.
+- Re-run `npm run smoke:create-quiver`.
+- Re-run `node bin/create-quiver.js spec validate specs/quiver-v38-cli-i18n-read-only-commands --strict`.
+
+## Risks / Notes
+
+- AI lifecycle work in later specs should account for the read-only AI status/resume coverage already completed here to avoid duplicate localization work.
+- This PR intentionally does not include or modify `specs/quiver-v44-provider-live-output-tui-lite/`.

+# CLOSURE_BRIEF - slice-01 Version, dashboard, and help
+
+## Summary
+
+Completed localization for the most visible read-only surfaces in this slice:
+
+- `version` human labels now use the configured CLI language while `version --json` remains stable.
+- `dashboard` compact, detailed, section, warning, and option-error human labels now use `en`/`es` catalog keys while `dashboard --json` remains stable.
+- Existing help localization from the v37 foundation remains covered by command contract tests.
+
+## Validation
+
+- [x] `node --test tests/commands/version.test.js tests/commands/dashboard.test.js tests/commands/cli-contract.test.js tests/lib/version.test.js tests/lib/dashboard.test.js tests/lib/i18n-catalog.test.js tests/lib/i18n-language.test.js`
+- [x] `node --test tests/**/*.test.js`
+- [x] `git diff --check`
+- [x] `node bin/create-quiver.js spec validate specs/quiver-v38-cli-i18n-read-only-commands --strict`
+- [x] `node bin/create-quiver.js check-slice specs/quiver-v38-cli-i18n-read-only-commands/slices/slice-01-version-dashboard-help/slice.json --local` (warning expected: slice already completed)

+# EXECUTION_BRIEF - slice-01 Version, dashboard, and help
+
+## Context
+
+These commands are highly visible and define the first impression of localized Quiver output.
+
+## Objective
+
+Localize `version`, `--version`, `--help`, and `dashboard` human output.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- `version` and `dashboard` render in `en` and `es`.
+- The Quiver banner uses approved Quiver tonalities where color is enabled.
+- `dashboard --json` and `version --json` remain stable.
+- Compact dashboard labels fit in Spanish and English without losing section readability.
+- Suggested commands remain exact.
+
+## Completion Checklist
+
+- [x] Human output catalog keys added.
+- [x] `en` and `es` command tests added.
+- [x] JSON regression tests preserved.
