+## Title
+
+QUIVER-43: CLI i18n audit and release readiness
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completes the final audit stage for Quiver CLI English/Spanish support.
+- Adds a documented command x language x mode matrix, closes remaining public string gaps, reinforces cross-platform i18n smokes, and records package release-readiness evidence.
+- Confirms human output follows configured language while JSON/JSONL, commands, flags, paths, ids, providers, and models stay stable for automation.
+
+## Scope
+
+Included:
+
+- v43 command coverage matrix for every documented command.
+- Public human string audit and fixes for remaining catalog bypasses.
+- Cross-platform smoke coverage for configured language, `--lang`, `QUIVER_LANG`, JSON parseability, and paths with spaces.
+- Final package/readiness validation and release-note language summary.
+
+Excluded:
+
+- npm publication.
+- Live provider credential tests.
+- Translating machine-readable JSON/JSONL contracts or provider prompts.
+
+## Files
+
+- `src/create-quiver/index.js`
+- `src/create-quiver/lib/ai/executor.js`
+- `src/create-quiver/lib/i18n/messages/en.js`
+- `src/create-quiver/lib/i18n/messages/es.js`

+- `tests/commands/i18n-audit-matrix.test.js`

+- `tests/lib/lifecycle.test.js`
+- `docs/reference/commands.md`
+- `specs/quiver-v43-cli-i18n-audit-release-readiness/**`
+
+## How to Test (DETAILED - REQUIRED)
+
+### Required Environment
+
+- Node.js and npm available in PATH.
+- Git available in PATH.
+- No live AI provider credentials are required.
+- Optional for PR creation only: `gh` authenticated and SSH key available.
+
+### Worktree Access
+
+```bash
+cd "/Users/fabrijk/Documents/Work/Proyectos Personales/nika/frameworks/quiver-v43"
+git status --short --branch
+```
+
+Expected:
+
+- Branch is `feature/QUIVER-43-01-v43-command-language-mode-matrix`.
+- Working tree is clean after this PR commit.
+
+### Run the Project
+
+The CLI is exercised directly from the repository:
+
+```bash
+node bin/create-quiver.js --help
+node bin/create-quiver.js version --json
+node bin/create-quiver.js dashboard --lang es --limit 1
+```
+
+Expected:
+
+- Help and dashboard render human text in the selected language.
+- `version --json` prints parseable JSON and keeps machine fields stable.
+
+### Use Cases
+
+1. Verify the i18n audit matrix stays synchronized with documented commands:
+
+   ```bash
+   node --test tests/commands/i18n-audit-matrix.test.js
+   ```
+
+2. Verify public string fixes for executor and lifecycle output:
+
+   ```bash
+   node --test tests/lib/lifecycle.test.js tests/lib/i18n-catalog.test.js tests/lib/ai-executor.test.js tests/commands/ai-execute-slice.test.js
+   ```
+
+3. Verify cross-platform i18n smoke behavior:
+
+   ```bash
+   node scripts/ci/smoke-cross-platform.js
+   npm run smoke:create-quiver
+   ```
+
+4. Verify final package readiness:
+
+   ```bash
+   npm run package:quiver
+   npm pack --dry-run --json
+   ```
+
+### Technical Verification
+
+Run the full gate:
+
+```bash
+node --test tests/**/*.test.js
+node bin/create-quiver.js 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
+git diff --check
+```
+
+Expected:
+
+- Full tests pass.
+- Spec validation passes.
+- Package smoke passes.
+- `npm pack --dry-run --json` exits 0 and reports `create-quiver@0.15.3`.
+- `git diff --check` has no output.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- PASS `node --test tests/**/*.test.js` (612 passed)
+- PASS `node bin/create-quiver.js spec validate specs/quiver-v43-cli-i18n-audit-release-readiness --strict`
+- PASS `npm run package:quiver`
+- PASS `npm run smoke:create-quiver`
+- PASS `npm pack --dry-run --json`
+- PASS `git diff --check`
+- PASS `node scripts/ci/smoke-cross-platform.js`
+- PASS `node bin/create-quiver.js check-slice specs/quiver-v43-cli-i18n-audit-release-readiness/slices/slice-04-package-release-readiness/slice.json --local`
+
+## Rollback
+
+Revert the PR commits in reverse order:
+
+```bash
+git revert 68b55e9 008aefd fe89318 1150bed
+```
+
+Rollback impact:
+
+- Removes v43 audit evidence and test additions.
+- Restores previous executor/lifecycle human output behavior.
+- Removes i18n-specific cross-platform smoke additions.
+
+## Risks / Notes
+
+- Linux and Windows shell execution were documented as approved local-environment exceptions because Docker daemon and `pwsh` were unavailable locally; win32 and Git Bash path behavior is covered by automated tests and reproducible smoke commands are recorded in the spec.
+- JSON/JSONL and other machine-readable tokens intentionally remain in stable technical English.
+- This PR does not publish to npm.
