 # Korean translation validation
 
-Catalog additions against `d9c924c3ba7114dff9141c667aec56d3764f3af9`: **141** entries. Existing Korean entries are unchanged. The provided translation data was checked against the current Rust sources; candidate keys with no matching production literal were excluded. No new translations were generated.
+Catalog additions against `d9c924c3ba7114dff9141c667aec56d3764f3af9`: **141** entries. Every existing Korean entry is preserved. Only translations supplied by the root task were used.
+
+## Independent coverage
+
+- Restored 0 root-supplied keys previously omitted because an unmerged third-party PR also proposed them. These keys are included in this branch; no unmerged PR is required to supply them.
+- The third-party PR patches were used to identify overlap, not as translation sources.
+- The correction ZIP contains 153 direct-lookup mappings. All 153 keys and root-provided values were verified against their current source locations.
+- Correction ZIP SHA256: `a97cb9c22e110d177ca7a5f0a70db976aee34056ae030fca2c3d9a0e884f755f`.
 
 ## Static checks
 
-- Catalog structure, unique keys, original key preservation, named placeholders, trailing ellipses, and explicit shortcut tokens checked with Python 3.14.5.
-- FigCraft TOML was parsed with the standard TOML parser; Korean plural entries keep only `other`.
-- New entries have source-location evidence in the local audit; dynamic labels use the existing translation paths.
+- Catalog syntax/table shape, unique keys, source keys, named placeholders, trailing ellipses, explicit shortcut tokens, and preservation of all existing Korean entries passed.
+- Tokenized source audit: 1449 unique direct translation lookup keys; 0 word-bearing keys still missing from this catalog.
+- Recorded 153 dynamic lookup sites for source inspection. Variable document text, file names, and machine identifiers retain their existing behavior.
+- Finite dynamic checks passed: PhotoCraft menu catalog (632 keys), VectorCraft render-site table (21 keys), FigCraft English UI (1,747 keys), required command reference (574 keys), and menu reference (31 keys). All accepted root-supplied context/id/plural keys resolve.
 - `git diff --check` passed.

-## Candidate filtering
-
-- Excluded 0 supplied candidate keys without a matching production source literal.
-- Excluded 0 supplied keys already proposed in open Korean translation PRs.
+Static checks do not replace runtime verification or prove coverage of arbitrary runtime-generated messages.
