+## Summary
+
+Completed. Added a pure generated-doc template routing layer for `en` and `es`, including deterministic fallback to the base English template, machine-artifact exclusion, coverage reporting for missing localized human templates, and documented naming conventions.

+# EXECUTION_BRIEF - slice-01 Template language routing
+
+## Context
+
+Generated docs need a routing layer that chooses the correct human-language template or fragment.
+
+## Objective
+
+Add template language routing for `en` and `es`.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- Routing uses the same language resolution as CLI output.
+- Missing localized templates fall back predictably to `en` and are detected by tests.
+- Machine artifacts are excluded from localization.
+- Template ownership and naming conventions are documented.
+
+## Completion Checklist
+
+- [ ] Routing helper added.
+- [ ] Template convention documented.
+- [ ] Missing-template tests added.

+## slice-02-public-string-audit
+
+- Audited public output call sites with `rg -n "console\\.(log|error|warn)|process\\.(stdout|stderr)\\.write|throw new Error|formatError\\(|prompt(Label|Text|Confirm)|label:|message:" src/create-quiver`.
+- Localized `ai execute-slice` interactive selector labels and progress messages through the i18n catalog.
+- Localized `cleanup-slice` dry-run, success, baseline, stale branch, dirty tree, missing worktree, and unmerged branch messages through the i18n catalog.
+- Passed configured language from the CLI entrypoint into `cleanup-slice`.
+- Added regression tests for English `ai execute-slice` interactive output, Spanish `ai execute-slice` interactive progress, and English `cleanup-slice` dry-run output.
+
+Stable literal exceptions:
+
+| Literal class | Reason |
+|---|---|
+| Commands, flags, branch names, paths, provider ids, model ids | Stable technical tokens; translating them would break copy/paste workflows or machine contracts. |
+| JSON/JSONL field names and enum values | Machine-readable contract; covered by JSON tests and excluded from human translation. |
+| Provider prompts under `src/create-quiver/lib/ai/prompts.js` | Explicitly out of scope for this audit slice; these are model instructions, not user-facing CLI strings. |
+| Generated local worktree docs such as `WORKTREE_CONTEXT.md` and `docs/ai/ACTIVE_SLICES.md` | Operational artifacts with existing Spanish convention; not command status output. |
+| Test fixtures, fixture package metadata, and synthetic command output | Non-public test data used to verify behavior. |

+
+## slice-03-cross-platform-smokes
+
+- Added i18n-specific checks to `scripts/ci/smoke-cross-platform.js`.
+- Covered configured project language without repeated flags by setting project language to `es` in a path with spaces and running `dashboard` without `--lang`.
+- Covered `--lang` override by forcing English over the Spanish project config.
+- Covered `QUIVER_LANG` override by forcing English over the Spanish project config.
+- Covered parseable JSON by parsing `config language show --json` and `dashboard --json`.
+- Covered paths with spaces through `ai path project`, `language home`, and `requirements with spaces.md`.
+- Updated `scripts/ci/smoke-create-quiver.sh` to make cleanup wrapper language expectations explicit with `QUIVER_LANG=es`.
+- Recorded cross-platform command matrix and platform exceptions in `cross-platform-smoke-matrix.md`.
+
+Platform evidence:
+
+| Platform or shell | Status | Evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| macOS Darwin arm64 | PASS | Executed locally. |
+| Linux Bash | Approved exception | Docker CLI exists, but Docker daemon was unavailable locally; reproducible commands are recorded for CI/Linux runner execution. |
+| Windows PowerShell | Approved exception | `pwsh` is unavailable locally; win32 path behavior is covered by tests and shell commands are recorded. |
+| Windows Git Bash/WSL | Approved exception | Git Bash/WSL is unavailable locally; Git Bash drive path behavior is covered by tests and shell commands are recorded. |

+# Execution Plan - Quiver v43 CLI i18n Audit and Release Readiness
+
+## Execution Rules
+
+- Start only after v37-v42 are implemented and merged.
+- Treat uncovered critical command/language/mode cells as blockers.
+- Fix gaps in owning specs/slices where practical.
+- Keep evidence reproducible and concise.
+
+## Suggested Order
+
+1. `slice-00-audit-foundation`
+2. `slice-01-command-language-mode-matrix`
+3. `slice-02-public-string-audit`
+4. `slice-03-cross-platform-smokes`
+5. `slice-04-package-release-readiness`
+
+## Final Validation
+
+```bash
+node --test tests/**/*.test.js
+git diff --check
+npx create-quiver spec validate specs/quiver-v43-cli-i18n-audit-release-readiness --strict
+npm run package:quiver
+npm run smoke:create-quiver
+npm pack --dry-run --json
+```
