+## Translation Engine

+- Use the Codex model itself to translate. Do not look for or invoke local
+  translation packages, CLIs, libraries, or deterministic fallback translators.
+- Do not call, probe, benchmark, or test external translation services or
+  public endpoints, including Google Translate, LibreTranslate, DeepL,
+  OpenAI-compatible APIs, browser translation services, or ad hoc HTTP
+  endpoints.
+- Do not send source text, project files, memory files, prompts, or translation
+  snippets to any third-party service.
+- Network access, if available, is not permission to outsource translation. Use
+  it only when VCM explicitly asks for non-translation research.
+- If the assigned translation cannot be completed with the Codex model and
+  permitted local file reads/writes, stop and write diagnostics to the assigned
+  report path. Do not create a fake, placeholder, deterministic, or partial
+  success artifact.
