  The Congratulation That Was in the Way

  A Student got every Blank right, and the modal that told her so covered the passage she wanted to re-read. She could not check what she had written. The fix is a labelled way out — and a completed state to land on, because the modal was carrying the only way forward.

  The Adjective Has Nowhere to Agree

  Portuguese makes you pick a gender for the person you are talking to. English does not, so every msgid in this codebase is already neutral and every translation had quietly chosen masculine. Fixing the greeting was five minutes; the interesting part is that the fix generalizes to a rewriting rule, and that the rule turned out to be half-enforceable by the build.

  A Profile With No Name Yet

  Greeting a Student in Portuguese before they've told us their name meant loosening an invariant that had held since the Profile aggregate was born — plus a single plug that resolves EN/PT-BR the same way for every request, forever.
