B6 translation format contract — the PURE half of the AI-translate pipeline.

Two responsibilities, both side-effect-free and property-testable:

 1. buildTranslationPrompt — the prompt handed to the doc-automation AI provider. It carries
    the "don't translate machinery" contract: directive lines (`:::tabs`, `:::`, `::include{…}`),
    fenced code blocks, and glossary keep-terms must survive VERBATIM. The reader pipeline
    parses those directives (and B4 expands `::include` at the serving seam), so a translated
    directive is a broken page, not a translated one.

 2. extractProtectedSegments / verifyDirectivesPreserved — the enforcement half. The worker
    verifies the model actually honored the contract before a machine translation is allowed
    to auto-publish; a violating result is kept as a draft for human review instead.
