A link whose label is its own target's filename is a path, not prose: [11_oidc.yml](../../group_vars/all/11_oidc.yml) comes back with a translated filename. The markup rule lets it through because the extension contributes letters, so it needs its own shape. A label that says something about the target keeps its translation, which is what separates it from [the OIDC defaults](../../group_vars/all/11_oidc.yml).
A message that is one technical token reads the same everywhere: an abbreviation in capitals, a version, or a run of command-line options. Together with the link rule this withholds 102 messages the catalogs used to send, 34 tokens and 68 changelog links, every one of them read before it landed here.
Known limit: ABBREVIATION matches any capitalised word of three or more characters, so it reaches messages that do not exist yet. MUST, TODO and TODOS are already words rather than abbreviations, and a future UI label like ERROR would be withheld the same way. The failure mode is silent, since a wrongly withheld message simply stays English without any test going red. Narrowing it to tokens the repository also uses as identifiers is the open follow-up.

prose() is built to measure prose, and a name is not prose. Comparing
against it went wrong in both directions: n8n became nn because masking
treats the digit as a span of its own, Infinito.Nexus became empty because
the whole name reads as a domain, and Redis ``cache`` became Redis, which
withheld 131 messages that say more than a name.
_bare() removes only what a page wraps around the name: emphasis at the
edges, a link when it is the whole message, and trailing symbols. The symbol
loop walks the unicode categories rather than a character list, because an
emoji is several codepoints, and it catches the heading that writes Git 🔐.
A link counts only when nothing else is there, or 'See [Mastodon](...) and
more.' would read as a name.
Measured against the previous catalogs: 24 wrongly withheld messages return,
n8n disappears in its three forms, zero warnings. The five reported cases -
[Baserow](roles/web-app-baserow/), [API](roles/web-svc-api/), Git 🔐, Lint 🔍
and n8n - were looked up in the catalog and are gone.

One predicate now answers what no translator may be handed, and both ends of
the pipeline read it: the extraction withholds the message from the catalog,
the client refuses to send it. What the catalogs keep back is exactly what the
client would have declined.
Two shapes qualify. A message with no word is markup. A message that is only a
name is a label: a brand, this software, a credited person, or a bare URL.
Inside a sentence the name stays protected by the span machinery and the
sentence still needs translating.
Three details each come from a finding. The comparison runs against the prose,
because **Mastodon** is not the string Mastodon and prose() already strips the
emphasis. Case is ignored, because a page writes the name the way its sentence
needs it and **mailu** is still Mailu. The address is matched first, on the raw
text, because masking protects the address of mailto:a@b.c but leaves the
scheme behind and its prose reads as a word.
Measured over the docs domain: 22745 messages fall to 22402 with zero
warnings, and 145 of the 377 removed entries carried a corrupted brand that
was being shipped - Keycloak read Schluesselmantel, OpenProject read offenes
Projekt, micro read Mikrowelle.
SOFTWARE_NAME is read from the group_vars SPOT beside SOFTWARE_REPOSITORY. It
lived there already and no python had ever read it.
