Blob hashes, not commit hashes, so the record is computable for files edited in the same PR (`git hash-object foo.md`) and consistency is a pure content comparison. `--write` stores those snapshots in the local Git object database before recording them, including uncommitted working-tree contents. The recorded hashes therefore recover the exact last-confirmed text of either side, so an out-of-sync pair is updated by patching the counterpart minimally against the edited side's diff — never by re-translating whole files. `pnpm run gen-translation-brief <pair>` assembles that update's working set mechanically at the narrowest safely aligned granularity — changed Markdown units, then heading sections, then whole document — with the edited side's diff since last confirmation, each changed span's three-way text, the terminology rows the change touches, and the binding update rules; a change confined to the pair's byte-identical code fences is computed outright, and `--apply` splices it into the counterpart after structural validation ([briefed-updates Agent Note](../../.agents/notes/implemented/process/2026-07-26-briefed-minimal-translation-updates.md)). After bringing the pair back in line, `pnpm run verify-translation-pairing --write <pair>` re-records both hashes; that yaml diff is the reviewable act of confirming consistency, which is why `--write` requires naming the pairs you confirmed (`--write --all` is the explicit corpus-wide form).
Blob hashes, not commit hashes, so the record is computable for files edited in the same PR (`git hash-object foo.md`) and consistency is a pure content comparison. `--write` stores those snapshots in the local Git object database before recording them, including uncommitted working-tree contents, and pins every distinct stored blob under a content-addressed `refs/dsh/translation-pairing/snapshots/` ref so garbage collection cannot invalidate a recorded recovery pointer.

- **Language switcher.** Both files link to each other immediately after their H1 heading: the English file carries `English | [中文](foo.zh.md)` and the Chinese file carries `[English](foo.md) | 中文`.
- **Structure mirrors the counterpart.** Heading depths and order, list kinds, ordered-list starts, list item counts, table row and column counts, link targets, and verbatim code blocks match one to one across the pair — see [translation-rules.md](translation-rules.md) for the full preservation rules. Existing Markdown gates apply to `.zh.md` files unchanged (`verify-md-wrap`, `verify-md-links`).
