+Translate the report and dataset form panel leaves that shipped their English source in every locale
+
+Four metadata-form keys — `report.fields.dataset`, `report.fields.values`, `report.fields.rows` and `dataset.fields.measures` — carried labels byte-identical to their `en` source in `zh-CN`, `ja-JP` and `es-ES`, so an author working in a translated locale read English on those two panels while everything around them was translated. Twelve label leaves and nine `helpText` leaves at the same four keys are now translated; each was judged individually, and the verdicts with their reasons are pinned in `report-dataset-panel-echo-decisions.test.ts`. No key was added, removed or renamed — the bundles' shape is unchanged.

+// #19355 — the DECISION LEDGER for the report / dataset panel en-echoes.
+//
+// An en-echo is not automatically a defect: a leaf that reads its English
+// source may be an unauthored extractor fill, or it may be the right rendering
+// for that locale. The two are byte-identical, so the distinction cannot be
+// recovered from the catalog later — it has to be RECORDED when someone looks.
+// This file is that record for the four keys #19355 names, one row per string
+// leaf, each with the verdict and the reason it was reached.
+//
+// Why the population here is a LIST while `repeater-row-properties.test.ts`
+// DERIVES its own. That file's population is the enumerated repeater row
+// properties — 124 of them, measured on this base — and these four keys are
+// top-level form fields, outside it. Widening that derivation to all declared
+// form-field paths (417, same base) would be red on 230 further echo leaves
+// across 82 keys the moment it landed: neighbouring debt nobody has decided
+// yet. A pin that lands red is not a pin, so the derived population stays as
+// #17508 drew it, and the DECIDED leaves are enumerated here instead. A key
+// enters this list when someone judges it, never before.
+//
+// The instrument that measured the verdicts, with both of its controls, is the
+// package's own provenance table `<locale>.source-hashes.generated.ts`: an
+// entry exists exactly while the leaf is still a byte copy of the source
+// revision. Every leaf this card found echoing carried one in all three
+// locales (positive control); `dataset.fields.measures.helpText`, the one leaf
+// at these keys that a translator had already written, carried none in any of
+// them (negative control). `pnpm i18n:extract` dropped the 21 rows for the
+// leaves this card translated, so the table now records them as authored.
+//
+// ⛔ Do not add a row here to make a red go away. A row is a decision someone
+// took about one leaf; the `echo` verdict needs its own per-locale reason
+// precisely so that recording "the English is right here" costs a sentence.
