Lardon3D — Source Comment Audit

Status

SOURCE_COMMENT_AUDIT=PASS
SOURCE_COMMENT_REMEDIATION=PASS
SOURCE_COMMENT_SCOPE=include/lardon3d/** + src/**
SOURCE_COMMENT_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH
SOURCE_CODE_BEHAVIOR_CHANGED=NO

The audit covered 148 C/C++ source/header files under include/lardon3d/** and src/**.

The initial static inventory reported:

comment blocks                         807
raw non-English lexical candidates     33
actual French comment blocks            29
English false positives                  4
stale-contract candidates                0
raw unannotated-public declarations    324

Remediation

All 29 actual French source comments were translated to English.

The four raw language-detector false positives were already English and were left unchanged.

The remediation touched comments only. A file-level lexical comparison removed comments entirely and verified that every non-comment source byte remained identical before and after the declared replacements.

No executable UI/error string was changed in this pass. UI language is a separate explicitly scoped implementation pass.

Stale and misleading comments

The lexical stale-contract pass found zero candidate comments.

No scientific threshold, schema version, Task Kind, resource contract, persistence identity or FROZEN boundary was changed by this audit.

Public API adjacency heuristic

The first inventory reported 324 public declarations without an immediately adjacent comment.

That number is informational only, not 324 defects.

The repository Source Comment Contract requires comments where WHY, CONTRACT, INVARIANT, OWNERSHIP, IDENTITY, persistence ordering, restart, cancellation, concurrency, resource accounting or a FROZEN boundary is non-obvious. It does not require one redundant comment for every getter, thin wrapper, paired create/load/list function or declaration already covered by a surrounding contract block.

Therefore absence of an adjacent comment alone is not a valid UNDER_COMMENTED/SEVERELY_UNDER_COMMENTED finding.

Future audits must review semantic contract coverage rather than using declaration adjacency as a blanket failure criterion.

Source Comment Contract

Production source comments:

are English;
explain non-obvious WHY/CONTRACT/INVARIANT facts;
preserve ownership and lifetime boundaries;
preserve persistence/restart ordering;
preserve concurrency/resource-accounting boundaries;
preserve scientific identity and FROZEN constraints;
do not paraphrase obvious code line-by-line;
are updated when behavior changes.

Validation

The remediation runner requires:

branch = docs-audit
no unrelated worktree changes
all expected old comments match exactly once
file-level source with all comments removed remains byte-for-byte identical
no strong French-comment candidate remains
git diff --check passes
