plugin-audit: an activity summary is rendered once, at write time, in the workspace locale — store it as a key and render it in the reader's language

Filing class: ③ maintainer-directed — the maintainer, replying to this suggestion in the hotclm regression thread on 2026-10-26: 「同意，立卡」. Reach: public door, measured on 18.1.0 with objectstack-ai/hotclm main (pnpm demo:zh, Console in zh-CN). Reader: the plugin-audit lane (audit-writers.ts summary writer) and the record feed renderer in objectui.

Business reason

A record's Discussion feed is read by everyone who works on the record, in their own language. Today its system rows are frozen in whatever language the workspace default was at the moment of each write: an English-default workspace shows Created Contract "…" to a Chinese reader forever, a workspace that switches language keeps every older row in the old one, and two colleagues with different languages see the same row in one of them. Without the change, every multi-language deployment has a half-translated feed that no translation pack can fix after the fact.

Measured

hotclm, pnpm demo:zh (workspace locale left at its default en), Console in zh-CN: the 讨论 tab of a contract shows Created Contract "回归测试 NDA — 已有相对方" and eight Updated Contract "…" rows, although @objectstack/plugin-audit 18.1.0 ships activityCreated: '创建了 {{object}} "{{label}}"'. (The app-side half — the demo should set its workspace locale — is objectstack-ai/hotclm#142.)

Why

audit-writers.ts resolves resolveWriteLocale(tenantId, userId) (ADR-0053 localization.locale, framework#3039) and stores the interpolated sentence in sys_activity.summary; the object label is translated at the same moment.

Proposal

Store the summary as its message key plus params (messages.activityCreated, {object: <object name>, label}), keep the English sentence as the fallback text, and render it per reader — the shape plugin-approvals already took for the admin_rescue timeline note (#25627, "store … as a code and render it in the reader's language") and for flow/step labels (#24977). Existing rows keep their stored text.

Dedupe: objectstack and objectui issues (2,000 most recently updated each, all states) grepped for activity … locale|language|i18n|render, activityCreated, reader … locale — neighbours #24235/#24261 (the write-time locale cache, closed), #25627 and #24977 (reader-locale precedents in approvals), none proposes this for activity summaries.

Filed from the hotclm browser regression thread (2026-10-26).

⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

The maintainer's 「同意，立卡」. Store the audit summary as a message key plus its parameters, and render it in the reader's locale. Rows written before the change keep their frozen text: the PR states whether they stay as-is or get a one-time re-render, and does not silently drop them.
Two lanes: the plugin-audit writer (server) and the record feed renderer (ui/). One PR in this tree.

Claim: PM loop round 8 · card thread
Session: session_01R1q2xdtYgU6FKrZ7LgjPCC (the seat); the card thread is session_01UBPXQdapfjkjYdQck9dtTa
Account: os-project-manager (the seat's linked user; the card's assignee)
Branch: claude/project-thread-xshjzo (the card thread's harness-pinned branch; it names no issue, so this claim is the identity record)
Worktree: the card thread's own container checkout
Domain: domain:server
Seat: domain:server#1
Ruling-ref: the maintainer's 「同意，立卡」, quoted on the card, and triage first grade (2026-10-26T14:55Z). Store the activity summary as its message key plus params, keep the English sentence as the fallback summary, and render in the reader's locale. Rows written before the change keep their text unless the PR gives a measured reason otherwise; they are never dropped silently. One PR.
File surface: packages/plugins/plugin-audit/** plus the read path the measurement picks (server render on read preferred). ui/ only if needed, and ⛔ not the files of open PR #26055 while it is open. ⛔ No packages/spec/** (stop on breach; explain in the report)
Container & model: S, mode:thread, default model and effort (set at thread open)
Clause-②: no — provisional; the dev measures it on the diff (a stored field on sys_activity may be a schema change) and the PR body carries the measured value
Metadata-protocol: none — provisional; the dev measures it on the diff
Responsibility: a record's Discussion feed shows system rows frozen in the write-time workspace locale (audit-writers.ts stores the interpolated sentence)
Thread-read: none
Premise: holds (read 2026-10-26T15:54Z at origin/main fbb75998ba: card open, unassigned, pm:queue, no claim; audit-writers.ts still interpolates messages.activityCreated at write time)
Serial constraints cleared: PR #26055 (domain:ui, #25959) edits the ui activity renderer and the locales, so this claim stays off those files while it is open; no other open PR touches plugin-audit/src/audit-writers.ts; the dev re-measures before pr_create
