Strip the font bundle to 59 KB and replace the polling sweep with a hook

The bundle was built by rewriting the Korean translation mod's asset bundle, so
it still carried everything that mod needed and we did not: three unused font
assets, their materials and textures, and a .resS stream holding two 2048x2048
atlases. Deleted those, dropped the stream, and rewrote m_Container and
m_PreloadTable to reference only the four surviving objects. 862 KB -> 59 KB,
verified by reloading: the embedded font still round-trips as Cabin with full
Slovak coverage and the Gill Sans MT metrics.

The 2s sweep existed to catch labels whose font the game reassigns without any
text change, which happens on a language switch. A postfix on the Text.font
setter catches exactly that, at the moment it happens rather than up to two
seconds later, and costs nothing when idle. Re-entry is safe: our own assignment
fires the hook once, which finds the state already correct and returns.

+# CLAUDE.md — Outer Wilds SK Translation Mod
+
+Working context for Claude Code (and human contributors) in this repository.
+
+## What this repo is
+
+An **unofficial Slovak (slovenčina) translation mod for *Outer Wilds*** — base
+game **and** the *Echoes of the Eye* DLC. It is primarily a **data/translation
+project**, not a conventional codebase: the bulk of the work is one large XML file
+of translated strings, wrapped in a thin C# mod shell.
+
+- **Not affiliated with Mobius Digital / Annapurna.** Game text is © Mobius
+  Digital, used under their Fan Content Policy. This project's own code and
+  translation are MIT (see [`LICENSE`](LICENSE) and [`README.md`](README.md)).
+- Roadmap and phase status live in [`PLAN.md`](PLAN.md). Update it as phases land.
+
+## How the mod works
+
+It is an [OWML](https://github.com/ow-mods/owml) mod that depends on **xen-42's
+Localization Utility / Interplanetary Polyglot** (`xen.LocalizationUtility`, MIT).
+The utility does all the heavy lifting; this mod just:
+
+1. Declares the dependency in `manifest.json`:
+   `"dependencies": ["xen.LocalizationUtility"]`.
+2. In its `ModBehaviour.Start()`, grabs the API and registers a new language:
+   ```csharp
+   var api = ModHelper.Interaction.TryGetModApi<ILocalizationAPI>("xen.LocalizationUtility");
+   api.RegisterLanguage(this, "Slovenčina", "assets/Translation.xml");
+   ```
+3. Ships the translated strings in `assets/Translation.xml`.
+
+**No game files are needed to build the mod.** The English source
+`Translation.xml` is published by the utility repo and used as the template.
+
+Slovak is a Latin-script language, so **no `AddLanguageFixer`** (that's for RTL
+scripts) is needed. A custom font via `AddLanguageFont` (Unity **2019.4.27f1**
+asset bundle) is only required if the stock game font is missing Slovak glyphs —
+to be verified during in-game testing (Phase 6/7).

+
+Model the C#/manifest scaffold on the community Czech mod
+([`shippy/outer-wilds-czech`](https://github.com/shippy/outer-wilds-czech)).
+
+## Translation conventions (important)
+
+`Translation.xml` is a **flat** `<TranslationTable_XML>` of repeated `<entry>`
+blocks, each with a `<key>` and a `<value>`. Rules:
+
+- **Never edit `<key>`.** It is the exact English source string the game matches
+  on — changing it silently breaks that string's translation.
+- **Translate only `<value>`.** Start from a copy of the English file (key == value)
+  and replace each value with Slovak.
+- **Preserve inline markup verbatim**, including XML-escaped tags:
+  `&lt;color=orange&gt;…&lt;/color&gt;`, `&lt;i&gt;…&lt;/i&gt;`, `&lt;/color&gt;`,
+  and raw entities `&lt; &gt; &amp;`. Translate the words, keep the tags.
+- **Keep speaker prefixes** (e.g. `POKE:`, `CLARY:`) and any leading labels.
+- **Use the glossary** (`docs/glossary.md`) for proper nouns and recurring terms so
+  Nomai / the Eye / Ash Twin Project / etc. render identically everywhere.
+- Watch text length: Nomai text walls and UI have limited space — prefer concise
+  phrasings where the English is terse.
+
+**Translation production:** machine-assisted first pass (clean-room, no third-party
+text) followed by a Slovak-speaking review pass. Phase by category for shippable
+increments: **UI/menus → dialogue/text walls → ship log**.
+
+## Build & test
+
+- Toolchain present locally: `dotnet 6.0.400`, `git`. **The game and the Outer
+  Wilds Mod Manager are NOT installed on this machine** — in-game testing (Phase 7)
+  requires installing *Outer Wilds* + Mod Manager + OWML first.
+- Build: `dotnet build` (the `.csproj` references OWML/game DLLs — see the Czech
+  mod for the exact reference setup).
+- Test: load via the Mod Manager, select **Slovenčina**, and verify menus,
+  dialogue, and the ship log render correctly (including diacritics
+  á ä č ď é í ĺ ľ ň ó ô ŕ š ť ú ý ž).
+
+## Repo / process notes
+
+- This is a **standalone project repo** (Gitea `Homer/Outer-Wilds-SK-Translation-Mod`),
+  independent of `~/Agent/Systems`. Changes here do **not** require a system
+  changelog entry — unless we install system tooling (game, Mod Manager, a Unity
+  version) to support it, in which case record that in `~/Agent` docs as usual.
+- Commit as the Gitea identity (Homer <admin@ecoposta.sk>). Don't commit/push
+  unless asked.

+# PLAN.md — Slovak translation of Outer Wilds
+
+Roadmap for building the mod. Status markers: ✅ done · 🚧 in progress · ⬜ todo.
+
+## Goal
+
+Add **Slovenčina** as a fully selectable language to *Outer Wilds*, covering the
+**base game and the *Echoes of the Eye* DLC**, distributed as an Outer Wilds Mod
+Manager mod. Quality target: natural, consistent Slovak — not literal machine
+output.
+
+## Approach
+
+- Built on **xen-42's Localization Utility / Interplanetary Polyglot**
+  (`xen.LocalizationUtility`) — register a new language from one `Translation.xml`.
+  No game files needed to build.
+- **Translation:** machine-assisted first pass (clean-room, no third-party
+  translation text reused), then a **Slovak-speaking human review pass**. Phased by
+  category so partial releases are usable: **UI/menus → dialogue/text walls →
+  ship log**.
+- **Scope:** the single ~896 KB `Translation.xml` already contains base game + DLC
+  strings together, so scope is "everything," sequenced internally by category.
+
+## Phases
+
+### Phase 1 — Repo scaffold & docs ✅
+`README.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `PLAN.md`, and MIT `LICENSE` in place.
+
+### Phase 2 — Mod skeleton ✅
+Created the OWML mod shell, modelled on
+[`shippy/outer-wilds-czech`](https://github.com/shippy/outer-wilds-czech):
+
+- `manifest.json` — `author: Homer`, `uniqueName: Homer.SlovakTranslation`,
+  `name`, `version`, `owmlVersion`, `dependencies: ["xen.LocalizationUtility"]`.
+- `ILocalizationAPI.cs` — interface copied from the utility.
+- `SlovakTranslation.cs` — `ModBehaviour` calling
+  `api.RegisterLanguage(this, "Slovenčina", "assets/Translation.xml")`.
+- `SlovakTranslation.csproj` / `.sln`, `.gitignore`, empty `assets/`.
+- Optional: GitHub/Gitea release workflow.
+
+### Phase 3 — Import English source ✅
+Imported the base English `Translation.xml` (896 KB, 2424 entries, keys == values)
+from the utility repo into `assets/`. This is the file to translate.
+
+> Build verified: `dotnet build -c Release` compiles against the `OWML` /
+> `OuterWildsGameLibs` NuGet packages (no game install needed) and stages a
+> loadable mod folder (`SlovakTranslation.dll` + `manifest.json` +
+> `default-config.json` + `assets/Translation.xml`) in `bin/`.
+
+### Phase 4 — Glossary 🚧
+First draft of `docs/glossary.md` in place: tone/register locked (informal *ty*),
+and SK renderings proposed for the proper nouns and recurring terms below. Rows
+marked `❓ review` still need the Slovak-speaking review pass to finalize.
+
+Write `docs/glossary.md` fixing SK renderings (or keep-in-English decisions) for
+proper nouns and recurring terms, e.g.: Nomai, Hearthian, the Eye / Eye of the
+Universe, Ash Twin Project, Vessel, Black Hole Forge, Quantum Moon, Sun Station,
+ship log, Nomai statue, Ember Twin, Ash Twin, Timber Hearth, Brittle Hollow,
+Giant's Deep, Dark Bramble, Interloper, Stranger (DLC), Owlk/"Owlks" (DLC).
+Decide tone/register (informal *ty* vs. formal) and lock it here.
+
+### Phase 5 — Translate `<value>` entries ✅ (machine-assisted pass complete; human review pending)
+Machine-assisted pass → human review, by category (UI/menus → dialogue → ship log),
+base + DLC. Preserve all `&lt;color=…&gt;`/`&lt;i&gt;` markup, entities, and speaker
+prefixes. Track progress and any hard-to-translate lines here or in issues.
+
+**All three categories now have a complete first-pass translation** (UI 814,
+ship log 483, dialogue 2423). Whole-file English-leak scan: 0. Remaining work is
+the **Slovak-speaking human review pass** (puns, register, Nomai text-wall length,
+the review-flagged lines noted per batch).
+
+Progress by category (source has 3 sections — the flat `<entry>` list = dialogue/
+text walls, `<table_shipLog>` = ship log, `<table_ui>` = UI/menus):
+
+- **UI/menus (`<table_ui>`, 814 entries) — ✅ machine-assisted first pass done,
+  place-name terms reviewed & locked.** All values translated; integer `<key>`
+  IDs untouched; `\n`, `&lt;!&gt;` input-prompt tokens, `&lt;Profile Name&gt;`
+  placeholder, and color/italic markup preserved; XML re-verified well-formed.
+  Casing mirrors the source (ALL-CAPS button labels stay caps). A consistency
+  re-pass applied the locked glossary terms (Scout → *Skaut*, Signalscope →
+  *Signáloskop*, Timber Hearth → *Drevený kozub*, Ash/Ember Twin → *Dvojča
+  Popolu / Dvojča Uhlíka*, etc.). Remaining: a general Slovak review of the
+  non-proper-noun phrasings.
+- **Ship log (`<table_shipLog>`, 483 entries) — ✅ machine-assisted first pass done.**
+  All values translated (location names + rumor/fact entries); string `<key>`
+  lookups untouched; plain text (no markup). Narrator voice locked to masculine;
+  ship-log place names locked in the glossary (§3, §5b). XML re-verified
+  well-formed; mod builds. **Still needs the Slovak review pass.**
+- **Dialogue / text walls (flat `<entry>` list, 2423 entries) — ✅ COMPLETE.**
+  Every `<value>` is translated; the only remaining `value==key` entries are
+  proper names (kept in English), the panic-scream onomatopoeia, sick-noises,
+  Kickstarter backer credits, and the ASCII-art easter eggs — all intentional.
+  A whole-file English-leak heuristic (English function-words present, no Slovak
+  diacritics/markers) reports **0** leaks in the flat list, ship log, and UI.
+  Batched by **content type** (not planet — the flat list is asset-ID ordered):
+  Nomai lore/wall-text (by speaker) → Hearthian villagers → travelers →
+  player/system/DLC. Preserve `&lt;color=…&gt;`/`&lt;i&gt;`/`&lt;size=…&gt;` markup,
+  template tokens (`&lt;Pause/&gt;`, `&lt;TimeMinutes&gt;`, `&lt;NbTimeloops&gt;`,
+  `&lt;…SinceRedGiant&gt;`), `\n`, speaker prefixes, and per-entry whitespace.
+  - **Batch 1 — Solanum (70 lines) ✅** — Quantum Moon pilgrim: astronomy-museum
+    walls, Tower of Quantum Knowledge / Quantum Shrine, Eye philosophy. Feminine
+    voice. Applied by key; XML re-verified; builds.
+  - **Batch 2 — Vessel / warp-core debate (29 lines) ✅** — the Nomai clan
+    debating how to obtain the advanced warp core for the Ash Twin Project
+    (Oeno, Clary, Poke, Idaea, Avens, Cassava, Spire, Mitis) + Poke's personal
+    reflections + the Vessel's escape-pod launch / crash computer log. Poke &
+    Clary feminine, Annona masculine.
+  - **Batch 3 — Orbital Probe Cannon (50 lines) ✅** — Construction Yard cyclones
+    (Conoy, Spire, Cassava), building/firing the cannon (Cassava, Daz, Mallow,
+    Privet, Avens, Yarrow), the "let's send a probe" decision, and the cannon's
+    damage-report / launch-log system text. Avens masc, Ramie fem. Preserved
+    `&lt;TimeMinutes&gt;`/`&lt;TimeSeconds&gt;` tokens and the "on the other
+    appendage" Nomai joke.
+  - **Batch 4 — Ash Twin Project warp mechanism (53 lines) ✅** — warp-tower
+    alignment lore, White Hole Station tutorial, tower designs, ore/shell
+    construction, warp-core-source debate (Yarrow, Clary, Poke, Root, Phlox,
+    Oeno, Cycad, Annona, Ramie, Ilex). Pye fem, Plume masc. (Sun Station debate,
+    firing, failure + memory statues still to come.)
+  - **Batch 5 — Sun Station + memory statues (61 lines) ✅** — the Sun Station
+    build debate (Idaea/Pye/Ramie/Poke), Pye's supernova/"gas" humor, the firing
+    orders, the failure aftermath, and the memory statues + masks (Phlox, Daz,
+    Yarrow, Ramie, Oeno, Root). Idaea masc. Preserved the 1304 countdown tokens
+    (`&lt;RemainingMinutes&gt;`…) + `\n` and `&lt;TimeMinutes&gt;`/`&lt;TimeSeconds&gt;`.
+  - **Batch 6 — High Energy Lab (42 lines) ✅** — the negative-time-interval
+    experiments (Pye & Ramie), the white/black-hole-core setup, the 22-minute
+    hypothesis, and the High Energy Lab / Sunless City labels + distance markers.
+    Kept Pye/Ramie's "gas / aeriform" state-of-matter puns (flagged for review)
+    and Conoy's "lose his head" joke.
+  - **Batch 7 — Quantum caves (48 lines) ✅** — the quantum shard, the Quantum
+    Moon locator, the wandering-rock / quantum-travel experiments, Coleus's
+    disappearance and the search for him, and the Ember Twin shelter-path
+    directions (Coleus, Melorae, Bur, Annona, Thatch, Plume). Coleus/Melorae
+    masc. Kept the pre-discovery moon names (*putujúci / prízračný mesiac*) and
+    Melorae's "my sedimentary friend" geologist humor.
+  - **Batch 8 — Interloper shuttle + warp-tower scroll-wall (43 lines) ✅** — the
+    comet crew discovering the exotic/ghost matter in the ruptured stone (Pye,
+    Poke, Clary — all feminine; Poke & Clary are sisters), plus the leftover
+    White Hole Station / warp-tower scroll-wall lines that finish the batch-4
+    conversations (Clary/Poke/Root/Yarrow, incl. the Clary–Yarrow romance).
+  - **Batch 9 — Brittle Hollow / Escape Pod 1 clan saga (94 lines) ✅** — the
+    crash, the volcanic-moon danger, quantum-grove wandering trees/shard, the
+    Eye-signal locator, the migration to the northern glacier, and the loss of
+    loved ones (Plume, Thatch, Filix, Lami, Annona, Rhus, Ilex, Spire, Coleus,
+    Cassava, Kousa). Filix & Melorae revealed **feminine** ("her note", "Aunt
+    Melorae") — corrected batch 7's Melorae lines to feminine here.
+  - **Batch 11 — final Nomai batch (113 lines) ✅ — ALL NOMAI DIALOGUE DONE.**
+    The warp-window details, mining-sites/native-life (Coleus/Cycad/Oeno), the
+    new-Vessel debate (Ilex), the memory-statue philosophy (Phlox/Daz/Cassava),
+    the probe-cannon-origin / Eye-search debate (Avens/Cassava/Plume), the
+    Sun Station "mission" humor (Idaea), the anglerfish-fossil study
+    (Melorae/Coleus), and scattered scroll-wall leftovers. Privet revealed
+    **feminine** ("her brother") — corrected her one masculine line in batch 3.
+    **Every speaker-prefixed Nomai line is now translated.**
+  - **Batch 10 — Bells scrolls + kids' game + Escall's clan history (87 lines) ✅**
+    — the Tower of Quantum Knowledge pilgrimage scrolls (Bells), the Fossil Fish
+    Cave anglerfish blindfold game (Laevi/Taget/Ilex/Lami), and the ancient
+    "Disappearance of Escall" myth + Escape Pod 3 / Secca–Din (Canna, Bromi,
+    Clem, Hyssop, Neem, Escall, Filix, Din). Distant place names translated
+    (*Súmračná galaxia*, *Čierna skala*, *Jasná iskra*) and flagged.
+  - **Nomai dialogue: ✅ complete.** Remaining dialogue is the ~1725
+    Hearthian/player lines (villagers, the travelers, player-facing/system text).
+  - **Hearthian villagers — 🚧 started.**
+    - **Batch 12 — Museum + Slate (100 lines) ✅** — the museum signs/exhibits
+      and Slate the shipbuilder's whole launch-day conversation (ship, launch
+      codes, ship-log markers, marshmallows, his jabs). First use of **mláďa**
+      (Hatchling). Player addressed as *ty*; "Stars above" → *Hviezdy nad nami*;
+      Hearthian names kept (Slate, Hornfels, Gossan, Hal, Mica).
+    - **Batch 13 — Hal + Gossan + Hornfels (204 lines) ✅** — the rest of launch
+      day: Hal (translator inventor, the new Nomai statue), Gossan (flight coach,
+      zero-g training), and Hornfels (curator, launch codes, the travelers'
+      whereabouts, Feldspar, and his redshift "Observations" exhibit on the
+      expanding universe). "Stars above" → *Hviezdy nad nami*; translator tool →
+      *prekladač*; preserved `&lt;Pause&gt;`/`&lt;Pause/&gt;`/`&lt;color=grey&gt;` and `\n\n`.
+      The village kids (Tephra, Galena, Marl, Rutile…) and other NPCs remain.
+  - **⚠️ Scope correction (batch 17):** the earlier line-counts under-counted.
+    A proper scan (a value is untranslated iff it's a suffix of its ID-prefixed
+    key — e.g. key `MeetGabbro3F…` / value `…`) shows **~1090 dialogue lines
+    still untranslated**, not the ~730 previously estimated. Remaining blocks
+    (asset-ID ranges): player-self/duplicate convo (169–308, 140), **Gabbro
+    366–575 ✅**, Feldspar/Chert HUD signs (800–842, 1329–1380, 1822–1840),
+    village kids (1459–1752, ~260), Chert campsite (1975–2283, 308), Signalscope
+    kid + misc (2360–2421, 59), plus generic traveler responses interleaved.
+  - **The travelers — 🚧 started** (Gabbro, Riebeck, Feldspar, Esker, Chert; each a
+    big campsite conversation).
+    - **Batch 17 — Gabbro (204 lines) ✅** — the laid-back "time buddy" on
+      Giant's Deep (*Obrova hlbina*): his surfer-philosopher patter about the
+      time loop, the memory statues, Statue Island (*Ostrov sôch*, his coinage),
+      the Orbital Probe Cannon breaking, his quantum poem/art, the meditation
+      mini-lesson, and the deep-space-satellite ("Ol' Spacey" → **Vesmírko**)
+      inspection log. Masculine; player as *ty*; Hornfels masculine (per existing
+      SK). Preserved `&lt;i&gt;`/`&lt;Pause&gt;` markup and the many repeated
+      menu blocks. **Flag for review:** the "Ol'"-is-affectionate line (465)
+      references old-ness while the nickname *Vesmírko* carries affection via
+      diminutive instead — minor disconnect. Remaining travelers: Chert (308),
+      Esker, Riebeck/Feldspar leftovers.
+  - **Player / self dialogue — 🚧 started.**
+    - **Batch 18 — the "two of you" black-hole duplicate convo (125 lines) ✅**
+      — the meeting between the two copies of the player created by the
+      black-hole/white-hole jump (Ash Twin Project): the confused-memories
+      banter, the dating jokes (Gossan/Slate, "Gossan's eye"), the "are you a
+      figment of my imagination" bit, the *"we are the Feldspar of weird time
+      stuff"* line, the panic-attack screaming sequence, and the post-intro
+      bragging menu (first solo trip, Sun-Station landing, "even Riebeck
+      survived their first launch"). Both speakers are the player → **masculine**;
+      they address each other as *ty*. The 15 pure-scream onomatopoeia lines
+      (AAAH, with `&lt;b&gt;`/`&lt;size=50&gt;` markup) left verbatim as
+      language-neutral. Preserved `&lt;i&gt;`/`&lt;b&gt;`/`&lt;Pause/&gt;`/`&lt;pause&gt;`
+      markup and `\\n\\n`.
+  - **Final dialogue sweep (batches 19–22) — ✅ done in parallel (subagents +
+    main), 770 + 22 lines.** The rest of the flat list, produced by three
+    translator subagents (each writing a JSON of translations, applied
+    race-free in the main thread) plus a large main-thread block:
+    - **Batch 19 — Hearthian village kids / villagers (271 lines) ✅** — Marl,
+      Tephra, Galena, Rutile, Tuff (the sick miner), Spinel, Arkose, Gneiss,
+      Porphy (sap-wine maker), Mica, the model-rocket kid, hide-and-seek, mayor
+      Rutile, the ghost-matter kids. Player as *mláďa*; casual kid register.
+    - **Batch 20 — Chert + Esker + Feldspar's jellyfish journal + Gabbro extras
+      (359 lines) ✅** — Chert the jittery astronomer on the *Presýpacie
+      dvojčatá* (star charts, supernovae, his end-of-universe breakdown, the
+      stargazing campfire finale), **Esker**'s lonely *Mesačná základňa* on the
+      *Skalka*, Feldspar's jellyfish tasting notes, and Gabbro's statue/"I died"
+      variant conversations + band-reunion ending. Also the Ember-Twin research
+      signs, Esker's Signáloskop log, and Gneiss the instrument-maker.
+    - **Batch 21 — signs, Signalscope kid, endgame + Nomai-writing signs (138
+      lines) ✅** — Giant's-Deep HUD/observation signs, the Signalscope-kid
+      endgame scene, the credits/epitaph signs (backer names kept), and the
+      museum Nomai-writing exhibit signs. ASCII-art easter eggs left as art
+      (only embedded words like LOADING→*NAČÍTAVA SA* translated).
+    - **Batch 22 — straggler sweep + consistency (22 lines) ✅** — a whole-file
+      English-heuristic scan caught 22 lines the *suffix-of-key* detector missed
+      (curly-vs-straight-quote drift between key and value: Gabbro "bright flash"
+      variants, the sap-wine labels, the ghost-matter kids' Signáloskop game, two
+      museum signs, the ATP **masks data-readout** at idx 1964, Tektite's scout
+      note). **Detection lesson:** "value is a suffix of its ID-prefixed key" is
+      necessary but not sufficient — always follow up with an English-word / no-
+      Slovak-diacritic heuristic to catch copied-but-drifted values.
+    - **Consistency fixes this pass:** Hollow's Lantern → **Lampáš** (not
+      *Dutinin lampáš*; glossary note added), ghost matter → **prízračná hmota**
+      (was one *duchová hmota*), Hanging City → **Visuté mesto** (was *Visiace*).
+  - **Toolchain:** installed `dotnet-sdk` (10.0.110) locally; `dotnet build -c
+    Release` now **succeeds** (0 warnings/errors) and stages the loadable mod
+    folder in `bin/Release/` (DLL + manifest + config + assets/Translation.xml).
+  - **Batch 14 — Feldspar (120 lines) ✅** — the boastful crashed ace in Dark
+      Bramble (his crash tale, the anglerfish skeleton camp, the "space is
+      bigger inside the seeds" theory). Masculine; heavy on *mláďa*; kept his
+      swagger. Remaining travelers: Gabbro (~213), Riebeck (~125), Chert (~150),
+      Esker (~160).
+    - **Batch 15 — Riebeck (69 lines) ✅** — the anxious, stammering archaeologist
+      on Brittle Hollow: loves the Nomai ruins (the Hanging City), terrified of
+      the "you-know-what" (black hole). Masculine; timid *ehm/uf* voice; kept the
+      `&lt;size=20&gt;` shrinking-text asides. (His planet's HUD labels + the museum
+      star/skeleton exhibits interleaved in this range are deferred to their own
+      batches.) Remaining travelers: Gabbro (~213), Chert (~150), Esker (~160).
+  - **Batch 16 — Nomai shrines + system/HUD text & location signs (98 lines) ✅**
+    — a sweep of the player-facing/system and Nomai-shrine text interleaved
+    through the flat list that earlier speaker-based batches skipped: the
+    **Eye Shrine** and **Quantum Shrine** wall-text (the *Oko vesmíru* signal
+    philosophy Q&A), the **Tower of Quantum Knowledge** trial/pilgrimage lines
+    ("Seek the wandering arch", quantum-imaging congratulations), the Brittle
+    Hollow **location signs** (districts + directional `\\n(sever/juh/…​ N m)`
+    markers — *Visuté mesto*, *Kováreň čiernych dier*, *Veža kvantového
+    poznania*, etc.), the **Escape Pod 2/3 flightlogs** + cannon/probe/Sun-tower
+    system readouts (`&lt;NbTimeloops&gt;`, `&lt;TimeMinutes&gt;`,
+    `&lt;MinutesSinceRedGiant&gt;` tokens preserved), and scattered UI labels
+    (RECORDING → *NAHRÁVANIE*, warnings/verdicts, "the Prisoner" → *Väzeň*).
+    Directions localized (north→sever, below→dole, left→vľavo…); "281,042" →
+    *281 042*. Left the two ASCII-art easter eggs (LOADING/QR) unchanged. XML
+    re-verified well-formed. **Only remaining key==value entries are the 22
+    Hearthian/Nomai character names (kept in English) + those 2 art blocks.**
+
+Terminology change (applied file-wide): **Black Hole Forge → Kováreň čiernych
+dier** (was *Zlieváreň čiernej diery*) — 15 occurrences across ship log + dialogue.
+
+### Phase 6 — Diacritic / font check ⬜
+Verify the stock game font renders all Slovak glyphs
+(á ä č ď é í ĺ ľ ň ó ô ŕ š ť ú ý ž). Only if any are missing: build a font asset
+bundle in **Unity 2019.4.27f1** and wire `api.AddLanguageFont(...)`.
+
+### Phase 7 — Build & in-game test ⬜
+**Prerequisite:** install *Outer Wilds* + Outer Wilds Mod Manager + OWML (none are
+on this machine yet). Then `dotnet build`, load via the Mod Manager, select
+Slovenčina, and verify menus, dialogue, and ship log render correctly.
+
+### Phase 8 — Release ⬜
+Tag a Gitea release; optionally submit to the Outer Wilds mod database so the mod
+appears in the Mod Manager for everyone.
+
+## Open items / risks
+
+- **Font coverage** for Slovak-specific glyphs (ľ ĺ ŕ ô ä) is unverified until
+  in-game testing (Phase 6/7).
+- **Translation volume is the real cost** — ~896 KB of source text. A
+  Slovak-speaking review pass is essential, especially for DLC/dialogue nuance,
+  puns, and Nomai text-wall length constraints.
+- **In-game testing is blocked** until the game + Mod Manager are installed locally.
+- Confirm the tone/register decision (Phase 4) early — reworking it later is costly.

-# Outer-Wilds-SK-Translation-Mod
+# Outer Wilds — Slovenský preklad / Slovak Translation Mod
 
+> **Neoficiálny slovenský preklad hry Outer Wilds** (základná hra + rozšírenie
+> *Echoes of the Eye*). Pridáva do hry jazyk **Slovenčina**.
+>
+> *An unofficial Slovak (slovenčina) translation mod for Outer Wilds, covering
+> the base game and the Echoes of the Eye DLC.*
+
+**Stav / Status:** 🚧 **Work in progress** — the mod scaffold and translation are
+being built. See [`PLAN.md`](PLAN.md) for the roadmap.
+
+Outer Wilds officially ships in 12 languages; Slovak is not one of them. This mod
+adds it as a new selectable language using the community localization framework —
+no changes to the game's own files are required.
+
+---
+
+## How it works
+
+The mod is a small [OWML](https://github.com/ow-mods/owml) mod that registers a
+new language through **[Interplanetary Polyglot / Localization Utility](https://outerwildsmods.com/mods/interplanetarypolyglot/)**
+(`xen.LocalizationUtility`). All translated text lives in a single
+`assets/Translation.xml`; the utility swaps the game's strings for the Slovak ones
+at runtime.
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Install the **[Outer Wilds Mod Manager](https://outerwildsmods.com/mod-manager/)**.
+2. Install this mod through the Mod Manager. Its dependency **Interplanetary
+   Polyglot** (`xen.LocalizationUtility`) will be pulled in automatically.
+3. Launch the game via the Mod Manager.
+4. In **Settings → Language**, choose **Slovenčina**.
+   - Tip: the optional [Language Swap](https://outerwildsmods.com/mods/languageswap/)
+     mod lets you switch language in-game with `Ctrl+L`.
+
+> Until the first release is published, the mod is not yet in the Mod Manager
+> database — see [`PLAN.md`](PLAN.md) for how to build it from source.
+
+## Contributing / Prispievanie
+
+Translation fixes are very welcome — the goal is natural, consistent Slovak.
+
+- **Report** mistranslations or awkward phrasing as an issue.
+- **Edit** only the `<value>` of each entry in `assets/Translation.xml`.
+  **Never change the `<key>`** — it is the English identifier the game matches on.
+- Preserve all inline formatting exactly, e.g. `&lt;color=orange&gt;…&lt;/color&gt;`,
+  `&lt;i&gt;`, and speaker prefixes like `POKE:`.
+- Follow the terminology in `docs/glossary.md` so names (Nomai, the Eye, Ash Twin
+  Project, …) stay consistent across the whole game.
+
+See [`CLAUDE.md`](CLAUDE.md) for the full conventions and repo layout.

+were never baked with Slovak caron glyphs, so those labels are redrawn with a font
+that has them — preferably one of the game's own dynamic fonts, and Cabin only where
+it ships none. See [`SlovakFont.cs`](SlovakFont.cs), and the `preferGameTypeface`
+setting if you would rather have Cabin everywhere.

+# Glossary / Slovník — Outer Wilds SK
+
+Fixed Slovak renderings for proper nouns and recurring terms, so names stay
+**identical everywhere** in `assets/Translation.xml`. Follow this file when
+translating; propose changes here (not ad-hoc in the XML).
+
+> **Status:** place names & proper nouns reviewed and **locked** (2026-07-20,
+> the "go risky" pass — planet names are translated, not kept in English). Rows
+> still marked `❓ review` need the Slovak-speaking review pass before they are
+> final; `🔒 locked` rows are settled unless there's a strong reason. The UI/menus
+> translation in `Translation.xml` has been re-passed to match the locked terms.
+
+---
+
+## 0. Tone & register (locked)
+
+- **Address the player informally — *ty*, not *vy*.** Outer Wilds has a warm,
+  around-the-campfire tone; the Hearthians are your friends. Use *ty* / informal
+  imperatives (e.g. *"Pozri sa"*, not *"Pozrite sa"*) throughout menus, prompts,
+  and dialogue.
+- **UI casing mirrors the source.** The game bakes capitalization into the
+  strings (many buttons are ALL-CAPS in the data), so ALL-CAPS English → ALL-CAPS
+  Slovak; otherwise sentence case. Fixed proper names (Skaut, Signáloskop, Dvojča
+  Popolu, …) keep the capitalization given in this glossary.
+- **Keep the source's voice per speaker.** Nomai text is formal and precise;
+  Hearthian dialogue is casual. Register can shift by *speaker*, but the
+  player is always addressed as *ty*.
+- **Diacritics always** — á ä č ď é í ĺ ľ ň ó ô ŕ š ť ú ý ž. Never strip them.
+- **Narrator gender (locked):** the player-character is canonically genderless, but
+  Slovak past tense forces a gender. Use **masculine** for the player's first-person
+  log/dialogue voice (*Našiel som*, *Videl som*, *Vypustil som*). Named characters
+  take their English gender where given (**Solanum** = feminine; **Coleus** =
+  masculine); the singular-*they* travelers (Riebeck, Feldspar, Gabbro, Esker,
+  Chert) default to **masculine**.
+
+## 1. General rules
+
+- **Never edit `<key>`.** Translate only `<value>`. (See `CLAUDE.md`.)
+- **Preserve inline markup verbatim:** `&lt;color=…&gt;…&lt;/color&gt;`,
+  `&lt;i&gt;…&lt;/i&gt;`, entities `&lt; &gt; &amp;`. Translate the words, keep
+  the tags and the exact color names (`lightblue`, `orange`, …).
+- **Keep speaker prefixes verbatim:** `POKE:`, `CLARY:`, `SOLANUM:`, etc. — do
+  not translate or reorder the label.
+- **Declension:** Slovak inflects. A glossary entry gives the base (nominative)
+  form; decline it naturally in context (*na Drevenom kozube*, *z Temného tŕnia*,
+  *do Krehkej dutiny*). Keep the **stem/spelling** from this table so
+  search-and-replace stays reliable. **Nomai** is the one exception — see below.
+- **Brand / title names stay in English (verbatim):** the game title **Outer
+  Wilds**, the space program **Outer Wilds Ventures**, and "the Outer Wilds" on
+  the *Planetary Chart* poster. They're the actual named brand in the game (like
+  a company name — you wouldn't translate "SpaceX"). Inflect the *surrounding*
+  Slovak, not the name: *v hre Outer Wilds*, *podporuješ Outer Wilds Ventures*.
+- **Character names are kept in English** (they're geology terms — Hornfels,
+  Slate, Gabbro, Riebeck, Feldspar, Chert, Esker, Hal, Gossan, Marl, Tuff,
+  Tephra, Galena, Moraine, Rutile, Spinel, Mica, Porphy, Arkose…). Decline
+  where natural: *Gabbrovi*, *s Riebeckom*, *Hala*.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Peoples & beings
+
+| English | Slovak | Status | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Nomai (species & individual) | **Nomai** | 🔒 | **Indeclinable** — keep spelling *Nomai* in every case (sg. = pl.). It's an alien species name; leave it as-is. |
+| Hearthian(s) | **Kozubčan** (sg.), **Kozubčania** (pl.) | 🔒 | From *kozub* (→ Drevený kozub). Adj. *kozubčiansky*. |
+| the Owlks *(DLC, fan term)* | **Soví človek** (sg.), **Soví ľudia** (pl.) | 🔒 | The game never names them; "owl-people". |
+| Hatchling *(the player; a young Hearthian)* | **mláďa** (neuter) | 🔒 | Affectionate address from other Hearthians *and* a common noun. Neuter → **gender-neutral** (fits the genderless protagonist). Pl. *mláďatá* (*odkedy sme boli mláďatá*); address *"Jasné, mláďa!"*. |
+
+## 3. Celestial bodies & places
+
+Decision (locked, "go risky"): **place names are translated**, including the home

+| The Attlerock (moon) | **Skalka** | 🔒 | Diminutive of *skala* — mirrors the "a little rock" pun. |
+| Brittle Hollow | **Krehká dutina** | 🔒 | |
+| Hollow's Lantern (moon) | **Lampáš** | 🔒 | Just **Lampáš** — do **not** form a possessive from *Krehká dutina* (never *Dutinin lampáš*). Decline the noun itself: *na Lampáši*, *k Lampášu*. |
+| Hourglass Twins | **Presýpacie dvojčatá** | 🔒 | Ember + Ash together. |
+| Ember Twin | **Dvojča Uhlíka** | 🔒 | Matched pair with *Dvojča Popolu* (uhlík ↔ popol). |
+| Ash Twin | **Dvojča Popolu** | 🔒 | Drives *Projekt Dvojčaťa Popolu* (§4). |
+| Giant's Deep | **Obrova hlbina** | 🔒 | |
+| Dark Bramble | **Temné tŕnie** | 🔒 | *bramble* = tŕnie. |
+| The Interloper (comet) | **Votrelec** | 🔒 | |
+| Quantum Moon | **Kvantový mesiac** | 🔒 | |
+| White Hole / Black Hole | **biela diera / čierna diera** | 🔒 | Lowercase (common noun). |
+| Black Hole Forge | **Kováreň čiernych dier** | 🔒 | Forge/smithy of the black holes. Note the **plural** *čiernych dier*. Decline: gen *Kovárne*, loc *Kovárni*. (Superseded earlier *Zlieváreň čiernej diery*.) |
+| The Stranger *(DLC)* | **Cudzinec** | 🔒 | |
+| Echoes of the Eye *(DLC title)* | **Ozveny Oka** | ❓ | Translate in prose; may keep English as a store/product title. |
+
+## 4. Story, projects & artifacts
+
+| English | Slovak | Status | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| the Eye of the Universe | **Oko vesmíru** | 🔒 | Short form: **Oko**. Keep any color markup around "Eye". |
+| the Eye (short) | **Oko** | 🔒 | |
+| Eye Signal | **signál Oka** | 🔒 | |
+| Ash Twin Project | **Projekt Dvojčaťa Popolu** | 🔒 | Matches *Dvojča Popolu* (§3). |
+| the Vessel (Nomai ship) | **Plavidlo** | 🔒 | |
+| Warp Core | **warpové jadro** | 🔒 | |
+| Advanced Warp Core | **pokročilé warpové jadro** | 🔒 | |
+| Ghost Matter | **prízračná hmota** | 🔒 | |
+| the Nomai statue | **socha Nomai** | 🔒 | |
+| supernova | **supernova** | 🔒 | |
+| the time loop | **časová slučka** | 🔒 | |
+
+## 5. Tools, UI & systems
+
+| English | Slovak | Status | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| ship log | **lodný denník** | 🔒 | |
+| Rumor Mode (ship log) | **režim fám** | 🔒 | |
+| Map Mode (ship log) | **režim mapy** | 🔒 | |
+| Signalscope | **Signáloskop** | 🔒 | Device name (treated as a proper name, capital S). |

+| Scout Launcher | **Odpaľovač Skauta** | 🔒 | |
+| the Translator (Nomai) | **Prekladač** | 🔒 | |
+| Autopilot | **autopilot** | 🔒 | |
+| Landing Camera | **pristávacia kamera** | 🔒 | |
+

+
+## 5b. Ship-log locations & DLC terms (locked, 2026-07-20)
+
+Named places and recurring terms from the ship log. Descriptive location names not
+listed here are translated literally (River Lowlands → *Riečne nížiny*, Northern
+Glacier → *Severný ľadovec*, Fire Chamber → *Ohňová komora*, …).
+
+| English | Slovak | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| The Hanging City | **Visuté mesto** | Brittle Hollow's Nomai city. |
+| The Sunless City | **Bezslnečné mesto** | Ember Twin's Nomai city. |
+| Orbital Probe Cannon | **Orbitálne delo sondy** | Modules: *Riadiaci / Štartovací modul*, *Modul sledovania sondy*. |
+| Cinder Isles *(DLC)* | **Vyhorené ostrovy** | |
+| High Energy Lab | **Vysokoenergetické laboratórium** | |
+| White Hole Station | **Stanica bielej diery** | |
+| Gravity Cannon | **Gravitačné delo** | |
+| Tower of Quantum Knowledge / Trials | **Veža kvantového poznania** / **Veža kvantových skúšok** | |
+| Quantum Shrine | **Kvantová svätyňa** | *Quantum X* → *kvantový/-á/-é X* throughout. |
+| Construction Yard | **Stavenisko** | |
+| Nomai Mines / Grave / Shipwreck | **Bane / Hrob / Vrak lode Nomai** | *X Nomai* (indeclinable). |
+| Escape Pod (1/2/3) | **Únikový modul (1/2/3)** | |
+| the Vessel | **Plavidlo** | |
+| anglerfish | **udicovka** (pl. *udicovky*) | The Dark Bramble monster fish. |
+| Nomai shuttle | **raketoplán Nomai** | |
+| astral body | **nebeské teleso** | |
+| slide reel *(DLC)* | **kotúč diapozitívov** | |
+| vault *(DLC)* | **trezor** | vault seal → *pečať trezoru*. |
+| the Prisoner *(DLC)* | **Väzeň** | An Owlk (*Soví človek*). |
+| Vision Torch / Artifact *(DLC)* | **Fakľa vízií** / **Artefakt** | |
+| mural | **nástenná maľba** | |
+| memory statue | **pamäťová socha** | Nomai statue that records memories. |
+| storage unit / mask | **úložná jednotka** / **maska** | Ash Twin Project memory components. |
+| clan | **klan** | Nomai social group. |
+| star system | **hviezdna sústava** | vs. *slnečná sústava* = solar system. |
+| pilgrimage | **púť** | Solanum's journey to the Quantum Moon. |
+| Nomai character names | *kept in English* | Solanum, Poke, Clary, Coleus, Melorae, Cassava, Yarrow, Pye, Conoy, Bells, … Decline the surrounding Slovak, not the name. |
+
+**Character genders** (from English pronoun cues; drives Slovak verb/possessive
+gender): **feminine** — Solanum, Poke, Clary (Poke's sister), Ramie, Pye, Filix
+("her note"), Melorae ("Aunt Melorae"), Privet ("her brother"). **masculine** —
+Annona, Coleus, Avens (Daz's brother), Plume (has a brother). Everyone else defaults to **masculine**
+until an English cue says otherwise.
+
+**Hearthian genders (cross-checked against the Czech mod, 2026-07-20).** Outer
+Wilds uses *they/them* for all Hearthians, so we defaulted **masculine** and
+verified against `shippy/outer-wilds-czech` (Czech is also grammatically
+gendered). Confirmed **masculine**: Chert, Esker, Gabbro, Riebeck, Feldspar,
+Gneiss, Marl, Mica, Spinel, Tektite, Tuff, Hornfels, Hal, Gossan, Slate.
+Corrected to **feminine** (Czech + English cues): **Arkose** (the ghost-matter
+kid — *"Slyšela jsem"*), **Porphy** (the sap-wine maker — *"dolila… dávku"*),
+and the **hide-and-seek kid** at idx 1627 (*"Chtěla jsem… otravná"*). **Filix**
+stays **feminine** (English "her note") even though the Czech mod rendered her
+masculine — English canon wins. Undetermined (no gendered self-reference either
+side; left masculine): Galena, Rutile, Tephra, Moraine. (Possessive of names in *-a*: *Annonov/-a/-o*,
+*Cassavov/-a/-o*, e.g. *Cassavovo Stavenisko*.) **Note:** Melorae was initially
+translated masculine in batch 7, then corrected to feminine once "Aunt Melorae"
+surfaced.
+
+**Nomai voice tics:** "My gratitude" (their formal thanks) → **Moja vďaka**;
+"on the other appendage" (a hand-joke — Nomai have appendages, not hands) →
+**Na druhej končatine**. Keep this dry, precise, courteous register for Nomai.
+
+## 6. Resolved decisions (2026-07-20 review)
+
+1. **Planet names → translated** (not kept in English). ✅
+2. **Nomai → indeclinable**, kept as-is (alien species name). ✅
+3. **UI length** — not a concern: the text display supports variable lengths. ✅
+4. **DLC titles** — translate in prose (*Ozveny Oka*, *Cudzinec*); keep English
+   only where a string functions as a store/product title. ✅ (`Echoes of the Eye`
+   the DLC title still `❓` in §3 for that reason.)
+
+## 7. Still open
+
+- **`Twilight Twin`** (Nomai dialogue, warp-tower lines) — rendered provisionally as
+  *Súmračné dvojča*. Unusual term; confirm meaning/rendering in review.

+# Review notes — things to check in the Slovak human review pass
+
+Consolidated list of wordplay, coined terms, gender guesses, and register calls
+that the machine-assisted first pass flagged. Work through these with a
+Slovak-speaking eye. Grouped by type; `idx` = position in the flat `<entry>`
+list where useful. See [`glossary.md`](glossary.md) and [`../PLAN.md`](../PLAN.md)
+for the locked terms and per-batch context.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Puns & wordplay (hardest to get right)
+
+| Where | English | Current SK | Note |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Gabbro, satellite (idx ~460–466) | "Ol' Spacey" (the deep-space satellite; "Ol'" = affectionate "old") | **Vesmírko** | Nickname folded to a diminutive that carries affection via form, not oldness. Line 465 ("'Ol'' is more a term of affection") therefore explains *starký/old* while the name is *Vesmírko* — mild disconnect. Consider a nickname that keeps the "old" beat, e.g. *Starký* / *Vesmírko starký*. |
+| Gabbro (idx 1353) | "you just got **Feldsparred**" | *...práve ťa **Feldsparovalo*** | Invented verb from a name; keep or rework. |
+| Gabbro (idx 399 etc.) | "**Statue Island** ...Get it?" (it's the *island* with the *statue*) | **Ostrov sôch** ...Chápeš? | The "get it?" gag barely lands in SK since the wordplay is thin even in EN. OK, but confirm. |
+| Chert (idx 1979) | "Keep **an eye or four** on the stars" (Hearthians have >2 eyes) | *Maj oko, aj štyri, na hviezdach* | ✅ reworded per review (was *Maj oči — pokojne aj štyri —*). |
+| Player self (idx 252) | "we are the **Feldspar** of weird time stuff" | *sme **Feldsparom** čudných časových vecí* | Idiom "the X of Y"; fine but review. |
+| Ghost-matter kid (idx 1702) | "All **pew pew pew**!" | *Také **pyu pyu pyu**!* | Onomatopoeia choice. |
+| Feldspar note (idx 1350) | "Hornfels, **ya burnt marshmallow**" (insult) | *Hornfels, ty **pripálený marshmallow*** | Insult + the kept loanword *marshmallow* (see §2). |
+| Porphy, sap wine (idx 1476, 1478, 1490) | "**The Good Stuff**"; bottles labeled "structural collapse" / "house fire" | **Tá Dobrota** (standardized; was mixed *To Pravé*/*Tá Dobrota*); „zrútenie konštrukcie" / „požiar domu" | Bar/booze humor; Porphy is **feminine** (§3). |
+| Chert (idx 1994) | "On a **scale of one to dead**, I'd give it a seven or eight" | *Na škále **od jeden po smrť**...* | Keep the deadpan. |
+| Feldspar jellyfish journal (idx 2181) | "Boring crashes: 0 (a personal best!)" / "entry #... 'not 1'" | translated literally | Feldspar's swagger; check voice. |
+| Fishing rhymes (idx 1540, 1567, 1576) | fishing rhyme/song/tune couplets (the 3rd deliberately fails to rhyme) | rendered **loosely to keep a rhyme** | ✅ 1567 reworked to *…ech, asi mi nesedí táto **návnadička*** (rhymes *pesnička/návnadička*, keeps "bait is wrong"). 1576 intentionally drops the rhyme (matches the EN joke). |
+| Nomai, Pye/Ramie (batch 5–6) | "gas / aeriform" state-of-matter puns; Pye's supernova/"gas" humor | flagged in batch notes | Physics/gas double meaning — verify it survives. |
+| Nomai, Conoy (batch 6) | "lose his head" joke | flagged | Idiom. |
+| Nomai, Melorae (batch 7) | "my **sedimentary** friend" (geologist pun) | flagged | Rock pun on "sedentary". |
+| Nomai idiom (glossary) | "on the other **appendage**" (hand-joke; Nomai have appendages) | **Na druhej končatine** | Locked, but re-read in context. |
+| Idaea (batch 11) | Sun Station "mission" humor | flagged | Deadpan Nomai humor. |
+
+**Character names are themselves geology/rock puns** (Slate, Feldspar, Gabbro,
+Chert, Gneiss, Tuff, Tephra, Porphy, Arkose, Mica, Moraine, Hornfels, …) — kept
+in English by design (see glossary §1). No action unless we ever localize names.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Coined / provisional terms (no prior canon — confirm rendering)
+
+| English | Current SK | Status |
+|---|---|---|
+| Ol' Spacey | **Vesmírko** | provisional (see §1) |
+| Statue Island (Gabbro's coinage) | **Ostrov sôch** | provisional |
+| Lunar Outpost (Esker's, on the Attlerock) | **Mesačná základňa** | provisional |
+| Youngbark Crater | **Kráter Mladej kôry** | provisional (blockC) |
+| Quantum Grove Crater | **Kráter Kvantového hája** | provisional (blockC) |
+| The Good Stuff (sap wine) | **Tá Dobrota** | standardized this pass |
+| marshmallow | **marshmallow** (kept) | decide: keep loanword or *sladká pena*? Be consistent. |
+| Twilight Twin (Nomai warp-tower lines) | **Súmračné dvojča** | ❓ unusual term — confirm meaning/rendering |
+| Echoes of the Eye (DLC title) | **Ozveny Oka** in prose | ❓ keep EN on store/menu title strings? |
+| Distant Nomai places (batch 10) | **Súmračná galaxia**, **Čierna skala**, **Jasná iskra** | flagged |
+
+---
+
+## 3. Gender — cross-checked against the Czech mod ✅
+
+Outer Wilds uses **they/them for all Hearthians**; Slovak forces a gender, so the
+first pass **defaulted masculine**. We then cross-checked every gendered
+self-reference against `shippy/outer-wilds-czech` (Czech is also grammatically
+gendered) — only **3** disagreements surfaced across the whole file, now resolved:
+
+- **Arkose** (ghost-matter kid) → **corrected to feminine** (*Slyšela jsem*).
+- **Porphy** (sap-wine maker) → **corrected to feminine** (*dolila dávku*).
+- **Filix** — Czech has her masculine, but English says *"her note"*, so she
+  **stays feminine** (English canon wins).
+- Also flipped the **hide-and-seek kid** at idx 1627 to feminine (*Chtěla
+  jsem… otravná*).
+
+**Confirmed masculine** (Czech agrees): Chert, Esker, Gabbro, Riebeck, Feldspar,
+Gneiss, Marl, Mica, Spinel, Tektite, Tuff, Hornfels, Hal, Gossan, Slate.
+**Undetermined** (no gendered self-reference either side; left masculine): Galena,
+Rutile, Tephra, Moraine — worth a glance in-game but low-risk.
+**Locked female (EN cues):** Solanum, Poke, Clary, Ramie, Pye, Filix, Melorae,
+Privet. **Locked male:** Annona, Coleus, Avens, Plume, Idaea.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Register & length
+
+- **Nomai text walls** — keep the formal, precise, courteous voice; watch length
+  vs. the in-game panels (utility supports variable length, but very long walls
+  should stay tight).
+- **Chert's panic stammer** (idx 2029–2031, 2076–2077) — rendered as
+  *a-a-ale / d-d-dúfam / m-možno*. Check it reads as anxious, not broken.
+- **Kids' register** — playful, casual *ty*; player often *mláďa*. Make sure the
+  kid voices don't sound adult.
+- **Player self-talk** (the "two of you" convo, idx 169–308) — both speakers are
+  the player, masculine, mutual *ty*; screams left verbatim.
+
+---
+
+## 5b. Coined this pass (audit against the game's own table, 2026-07-21)
+
+The upstream English template (from the Localization Utility repo) is slightly out
+of date versus the shipped game. Extracting the game's own English
+`TranslationTable_XML` from `resources.assets` and diffing it found 17 keys we
+didn't cover and 7 values still in English. New renderings to sanity-check:
+
+| English | Current SK | Note |
+|---|---|---|
+| Stepping Stone District | **Štvrť nášľapných kameňov** | matches *Jaskyňa nášľapných kameňov* |
+| Anglerfish Overlook District | **Štvrť vyhliadky na udicovku** | matches *Vyhliadka na udicovku* |
+| Eye Shrine District | **Štvrť Svätyne Oka** | new |
+| Black Hole Forge controls | **Ovládanie Kovárne čiernych dier** | was left in English |
+| Divergence Meter / world line | **Merač divergencie** / **svetočiara** | Steins;Gate easter egg |
+| *El Psy Congroo* | left verbatim | Steins;Gate catchphrase, not translatable |
+
+Two dialogue keys (`sun station 2`, `sun station 5a`) had `<pause>` in the template
+where the game has `<Pause>`; both spellings are now present so either build matches.
+Likewise the ship log key for Solanum entering the Eye: the template misspells
+*concious*, the game says *conscious* — both are shipped.
+
+**Re-run the audit after any game update** — it is the only reliable way to catch
+strings the template is missing.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Left verbatim on purpose (not for translation)
+
+Panic-scream onomatopoeia (idx 174, 267–286), sick-noises (*Hurgh…*, idx
+1666/1685), shy-kid silences (`…`), Kickstarter backer credit **names** (idx
+2408–2415), and the ASCII-art easter eggs (idx 2416–2418, only embedded words
+like LOADING → *NAČÍTAVA SA* were translated). Leave these as-is.
