Closes #688.

What #688 asked, and what the evidence said

The issue proposed a guard: a table of {helpKey, labelKey} pairs asserting each help string contains its control's label term, per locale. It also named the crux honestly — the assertion has to survive inflection. I built the derivation and measured it before designing anything.

Pairs derived mechanically from the <strong>…</strong> spans help prose uses to name controls: 81. With no defect present, they fail 12 times in es and 20 times in tl:

pair	en	es	tl
dailyEntry:sellableLabel	"Sellable" / "sellable" ✓	label Vendibles, prose vendible — number agreement	label Nabebenta, prose naibibenta, Maibebenta
flocks:birdsLabel	"Birds" / "birds" ✓	"Aves" / "aves actuales" ✓	label Mga Ibon, prose kasalukuyang ibon — plural marker

Tagalog verb-focus affixation is what kills it: nabebenta / naibibenta / maibebenta are one word inflected three ways. The label form is not a substring of the other two, and the three share no common prefix at all — what they share is the root benta behind different prefixes. So includes(label) fails, stem-prefix matching fails, and catching the pair needs root extraction: a stemmer, or a hand-maintained root per term, which is the per-locale table this PR declines. (Corrected after review — the first version of this sentence said "share two characters", conflating the shared root with the common prefix.) And tl is the locale #678's defect actually landed in — a guard skipped for tl is a guard that does not exist.

So this PR ships the issue's own stated fallback rather than a guard that would need skipping later.

The two live drifts the investigation found

Same class as #678 — help prose naming a control something that control never calls itself:

1. grades:saleableLabel is nabebenta, but help:gradesBuckets and glossaryGradeDef said nabibili (buyable). grades:intro already said "nabebentang grado", so the tl catalog disagreed with itself about one checkbox — exactly the caducidad/vencimiento shape from feat(web): date-range filters on audit and expenses, and the stock lot filter gets its bounded toolbar (#666, #667, #653) #678.
2. help:dailyLoopChain said "nabibiling stock" where en says "sellable stock".
3. settings:unitSystemLabel is Sistema ng yunit, but farmSettingsIntro listed the fourth setting as unit system. The other three in that sentence (Time zone, Locale, Currency) are deliberate loanword labels and matched already — which is why only one of four was wrong, and why a reviewer skimming that sentence would not have seen it.

These are machine-drafted strings pending native review under #182; a native speaker may still refine the wording. What this PR fixes is the catalog contradicting itself, which is checkable without being a native speaker.

What replaces the guard

• docs/decisions/688-i18n-help-label-pairing.md — the evidence, the rejected mechanism, and the two conditions that would reopen it (a locale pack whose morphology the assertion survives, or a decision to maintain a per-locale term table).
• An AGENTS.md rule beside AGENTS.md: three conventions earned while shipping #651 + #652 #662's, whose enforcement line says plainly: nothing enforces this; it relies on review. AGENTS.md: three conventions earned while shipping #651 + #652 #662 is the contrast that makes the boundary honest — this repo does pin string content mechanically when the property is language-neutral. Casing is. Word choice is not.

Verification

npm run typecheck clean; full web suite 2504 passed / 114 files. No new test ships, deliberately — the whole finding is that the mechanical check is unworkable, and a guard that has to be skipped for the locale it exists for would be worse than none.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Localization

  • Updated Tagalog help and glossary translations for sellable stock and grades, using “nabebenta.”
  • Improved the Tagalog translation of “unit system” to “sistema ng yunit.”
  • Corrected related Tagalog wording to reflect the shared root “benta” across relevant terms.

• Bug Fixes

  • Audit viewer filters now clear correctly while preserving the selected entity.
  • Expense filters now default to the current farm month, with a separate option to view all time.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes correct four Tagalog help and glossary translations. They update morphology guidance and the related decision record. They also document audit filter clearing and Expenses date-range behavior.

Changes

Localized help label consistency

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Review-based label consistency AGENTS.md, docs/decisions/688-i18n-help-label-pairing.md	Corrected the shared benta root explanation and documented the affected Tagalog translation strings.
Tagalog translation corrections web/src/i18n/tl.ts	Replaced nabibili with nabebenta for sellable stock and grades. Translated “unit system” as sistema ng yunit.
Filter behavior documentation specs/product/GLOSSARY.md	Documented audit filter clearing, preserved entityId scope, the Expenses current-month default, and the Show all time action.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 61645

The change aligns Tagalog help terminology with labels and documents filter behavior without identified current-head correctness or runtime risk.

@coderabbitai review

Both findings fixed in 8912b6f and answered on their threads. The first was a genuine factual error in the PR's central claim — the three Tagalog forms share the root benta; what is empty is their common prefix — so the corrected sentence is worth a look on its own terms, in AGENTS.md, the decision record and the PR body alike.

@mforce, I verified the correction in AGENTS.md, the decision record, and the PR body.

All three now distinguish the shared root benta from the empty common prefix. They also correctly state that Nabebenta is not a substring of naibibenta or maibebenta. The reasoning for rejecting the automated guard is consistent across the three locations.

I used the existing Tagalog morphology guidance for this check.

Learning: For the i18n help-label consistency rule in `AGENTS.md` and `docs/decisions/688-i18n-help-label-pairing.md`, Tagalog forms `nabebenta`, `naibibenta`, and `maibebenta` share the root `benta` but have no common prefix. The label `Nabebenta` is not a substring of `naibibenta` or `maibebenta`; detecting their relationship requires root extraction, such as a Tagalog stemmer or maintained per-locale root data.

Force-push notice, for anyone reading the timeline: I briefly pushed a specs/product/GLOSSARY.md commit here by mistake — it belongs to #697 and I had not switched branches after fixing this PR's review findings. It is now on #697 (0879eaa4), and this branch is force-pushed back to 8912b6f, the exact commit CodeRabbit approved. Nothing was lost and the approval still covers the current head; the diff is again the three files this PR is about.
