Comments and docs outside spec still restate the four-step locale ladder that PR #30601 replaces with resolveLocaleAmong's five steps

Filing gate: ① stale prose at named locations, found by the contract review of PR #30601 (card #30538, comment 6665489168, should-fix S3). ⛔ Not a claim.

Business reason. PR #30601 puts both server resolvers on one ladder, resolveLocaleAmong in @objectstack/spec/system: exact, case-insensitive, the same platform locale table language (platformLocaleTagOf, so zh-TW / zh-HK / zh-MO reach zh-Hant), base language, first registered variant. The places below restate the old four steps (no table step). Each is still true for the four-locale tables it describes today, so nothing misbehaves, but a reader who adds a zh-Hant table there is told zh-TW lands on the first zh-* entry.

Where (at PR #30601's head `9f692b76`; the review's reading)

packages/objectql/src/engine-validation-messages.ts :172-173, and the header of engine-validation-locale-negotiation.test.ts :12
packages/services/service-automation/src/engine.ts :75-76
packages/plugins/plugin-auth/src/idp-locale-claim.ts :23-24 and organization-mfa-enrollment-guard.ts :76-78
packages/plugins/plugin-email/src/template-loader.ts :175
content/docs/ui/translations.mdx :178
docs/qa/platform-checklist/areas/integration-system.json, the acceptance[3] item

Wanted

Each restatement names resolveLocaleAmong (or the resolver it calls) and its five steps, or says the table step only adds answers for the table's aliases. Comment, docs and checklist text only; no behaviour change. Changesets per package as the gate asks (comment-only edits in unpublished sources need none).
skills/** is out of scope here (skills/objectstack-i18n: the in-memory fallback's locale ladder omits the platform locale table step that PR #30601 adds #30603 carries the skill text; Tier H).
Serial: after PR fix(spec,core): resolve locales through the platform table's read aliases, so a zh-TW / zh-HK reader gets zh-Hant #30601 merges.

Dedupe: repo:objectstack-ai/objectstack is:issue is:open "base language" locale ladder comment → 1 hit (#30538 itself). New.

Suggested-grade: p3 · prose that is true for today's tables and goes stale only when a table gains zh-Hant.

Serial constraints cleared: open PR #30459 (#30391) also edits content/docs/ui/translations.mdx; different section (plural labels), the later lander merges main. No other open PR names these files (19 open non-mailbox PRs read at claim time)
