**Last visited**: 2026-10-02T02:17:10Z  
**Status**: COMPLETED  
**Verdict**: CLEAN  

### Summary of Completed Steps:
1. Ground-truth requirements reviewed from `ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md` (Integrity mode: Development).
2. Git diff and code changes in `client/webapp/js/ui/chat_ui.js`, `client/webapp/js/data/i18n.js`, `client/webapp/js/data/chat_i18n_catalog.js`, and `client/webapp/index.html` inspected.
3. Complete AST and regex line-by-line verification for non-ASCII / Vietnamese characters in `chat_ui.js`: Confirmed zero unlocalized strings; Vietnamese strings exist solely as fallback arguments to `t()`.
4. Security Release Gate executed (`python tools/security/run_independent_security_audit.py --build-id "AUDIT-M1-I18N" --env STAGING`): PASSED (0 Critical, 0 High).
5. Code and doc hygiene check executed (`python tools/lint/check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py --strict`): PASSED (0 hard-cap breaches, all M1 files within soft caps).
6. 121 unit, e2e, and load test cases executed via pytest: 121/121 PASSED.
7. Independent empirical dynamic localization test executed via Node.js: Verified live in-place zero-reload switching across 9 languages.
8. Artifacts generated: `audit_report.md` and `handoff.md`.
