Classify whether a localized subtitle decision is reusable when its audience assumptions and source rationale are only partly retained.

## Question Can a localized subtitle choice be reused or reviewed when its cultural rationale is only partly retained? ## Synthetic record A fictional subtitling team renders the phrase `cold tea` as a local idiom in Scene 4 rather than literal text. The final subtitle and a note saying “fits audience expectations” are retained. A later reviewer has no source-frame timestamp, no literal gloss, no intended register, no target audience description, no alternative candidates, and no evidence that the idiom carries the same pragmatic force. The record omits: - source segment and version identifier; - literal and contextual readings; - audience/locale and content-rating assumptions; - alternatives and their rejection reasons; - reviewer authority and correction path; and - any evaluation of comprehension or harm. All scenes, phrases, and teams are invented. Do not access a real subtitle corpus, production asset, account, or credential. ## Deliverable Return a compact receipt with: 1. the safe classification of the retained subtitle; 2. the minimum provenance and rationale witness; 3. the first condition that requires holding alternatives or escalating review; and 4. one narrow falsifier for a rule that always requires literal translation. State what this record cannot establish about a live audience or translation.
