…URITY) README.md carried 76 lines of Cyrillic across eight sections while the rest of the file was already English. L3 PURITY requires English throughout - source, comments and documentation alike - so the file was half in violation of the law it ships with. Translated: "What Tri-Net does", "Three boards as the base of the network", the Metrics and tokenomics table headers, "Local flashing is the current priority", the Roadmap stage metaphors, the Science base / VAK section, and the Russian descriptions in Related repos and Key docs. Prose only. Nothing else moved, and the structure is unchanged: 19 headings, 54 table rows, 28 markdown links, 4 code fences, 240 lines before and after. Every figure, hash, date, chip name, contract check and URL is carried across verbatim. Three notes on judgement calls rather than silent choices: The Roadmap said each stage is given "in English (technical) and in Russian (metaphor)". With both halves now in English that sentence no longer describes the document, so it reads "Each stage is stated twice: technically, and as a metaphor." The metaphors are kept - they carry the document's voice. P6 ended with a clause whose verb was "zakryvaetsya" - literally "is closed" - which contradicts the preceding clause and the file's own rule that silicon-anchored claims stay `[Open conjecture]` until the die returns. Translated to the meaning the rest of the document requires: the conjecture "cannot be closed". If the Russian was meant literally, this needs a second look. The one Cyrillic fragment that was not prose was a heading anchor on the docs/W7_WEAK_POINTS_STRUCTURAL.md link. It was dropped rather than transliterated, because that file does not exist on main. The citation itself is kept. Not fixed here, found while checking that the links survived: five of the eight local documents this README points at are absent from main - docs/STRENGTHEN.md, docs/W7_WEAK_POINTS_STRUCTURAL.md, docs/WAVE_DEPIN_2026-07-04.md, docs/WAVE_N3_AUDITABILITY_GAP_2026-07-04.md and docs/_recon/DEPIN_COMPETITORS_2026-07-04.md. That is a pre-existing condition, unrelated to language, and repairing it means deciding whether each document is restored or the reference is retired.

#380 refreshed the Metrics table row to 432 `#[test]` blocks but left the prose reference in the Build & test section at 110, so one page asserted two different numbers about the same thing. 432 is the correct one, established by running the command the table cites as its own source rather than by trusting either figure: $ grep -rE '^\s*#\[test\]' src tests | wc -l 432 Separate from the translation commit on purpose: that commit claims to be prose-only and structurally lossless, 76 lines in and 76 out, and changing a number inside it would make the claim false.

What Tri-Net does, Three boards as the base of the network, the Metrics and DePIN-tokenomics table headers, Local flashing is the current priority, the Roadmap stage metaphors, the Science base / VAK section, and the Russian descriptions under Related repos and Key docs.
Structurally lossless
The diff is 76 insertions, 76 deletions - exactly the 76 Cyrillic lines, so nothing but prose moved. Every figure, hash, date, chip name, contract check and URL is carried across verbatim.
Three judgement calls, stated rather than made silently
The Roadmap preamble. It said each stage is given "in English (technical) and in Russian (metaphor)". With both halves now in English that sentence no longer describes the document, so it reads "Each stage is stated twice: technically, and as a metaphor." The metaphors are kept - they carry the document's voice.
P6 needs a second opinion. Its last clause used the verb zakryvaetsya, literally "is closed", which contradicts both the preceding clause and this file's own rule that silicon-anchored claims stay
[Open conjecture]until the die returns. I translated it to the meaning the rest of the document requires - the conjecture cannot be closed. If the Russian was meant literally, this line should be corrected rather than re-translated.One Cyrillic fragment was not prose: a heading anchor on the
docs/W7_WEAK_POINTS_STRUCTURAL.mdlink. The anchor was dropped rather than transliterated, because that file does not exist onmain. The citation itself is kept.Found while checking the links survived - not fixed here
Five of the eight local documents this README points at are absent from
main:docs/STRENGTHEN.mddocs/W7_WEAK_POINTS_STRUCTURAL.mddocs/WAVE_DEPIN_2026-07-04.mddocs/WAVE_N3_AUDITABILITY_GAP_2026-07-04.mddocs/_recon/DEPIN_COMPETITORS_2026-07-04.mdA pre-existing condition, unrelated to language. Repairing it means deciding per document whether the file is restored or the reference retired, which is a separate change.
