-        `--localize` emits both `dist/apps/portal-shell/browser/en/...`
-        and `dist/apps/portal-shell/browser/fr/...`, but the FR bundle
-        falls back to source text for every untranslated key.
-
-        Editor convention: keep the entries grouped by feature
-        (header.*, sidebar.*, footer.*, page.<route>.*) and ordered
-        alphabetically within each group, so diffs stay readable.
+        Source IDs are stable @@-prefixed values authored in the
+        templates / `$localize` calls. Trans-units are grouped by
+        feature (app, footer, header, sidebar, theme, page.*) and
+        alphabetical within each group so diffs stay readable.
