 #### Runtime Context Discipline
 - 18 active runtime rules in the current compact merged source install set
-- P115 language-aware candidate-goal promotion playground case update is released as `v10.23`.
-  - It adds one new scenario family showing dominant-session-language ownership, candidate-goal-first successor recommendations, and selective promotion into advisory `/goal` form.
-  - It keeps the playground non-runtime and outside the 18-file runtime install payload.
-  - It preserves the existing governed fact / observed case / virtual variant separation and uses pointer-level README integration instead of turning the top-level README into the scenario owner.
-  - It passed runtime install-boundary recheck plus 18/18 source/runtime parity and source/destination body sufficiency.
+- P116 end-to-end language-aligned goal surface refinement is the active wave for `v10.24`.
+  - It refines RULES so candidate goals, advisory `/goal`, recommendation labels, and recap/closing lines follow the dominant session language end-to-end instead of leaving English wrappers around Thai-first goal output.
+  - It adds one new governed non-runtime playground case family for this language-surface behavior and keeps `playground/` outside the 18-file runtime install payload.
+  - It preserves advisory `/goal`, keeps exact literals such as `/goal`, file paths, version tags, and code identifiers intact when they should remain exact, and keeps pointer-level README integration rather than turning the top-level README into the scenario owner.
 - P073 source compression completed and audited
 - P073/P077/P078/P079 runtime install parity was verified only after explicit install gates
 - P080 source governance is synchronized and runtime install parity is verified for the 42-rule set

+- [ ] P116 / v10.24 end-to-end language-aligned goal surface refinement is in progress.
+  - Scope: update the language surface of candidate goals, advisory `/goal`, recommendation labels, and recap/closing lines so dominant-session-language behavior is end-to-end rather than English-wrapper-first; add one new governed non-runtime playground case plus index update; and sync touched runtime/design/changelog/TODO/phase/patch/master surfaces.
+  - Pending gate: preserve advisory `/goal`, keep exact literals exact, keep the active runtime install scope at 18 files, keep `playground/` outside the runtime payload, rerun install plus 18/18 source/runtime parity and source/destination body sufficiency, run `git diff --check`, push, verify GitHub release `v10.24`, and finalize closeout records.
+
+## ✅ Completed
+
 - [x] P115 / v10.23 language-aware candidate-goal promotion playground case update was completed, installed, pushed, and released.
   - Verified: `case-15-language-aware-candidate-goal-promotion.md`, playground index update, touched master/design/changelog/TODO/phase/patch sync, playground still excluded from the active runtime install payload, runtime install into `~/.claude/rules`, 18/18 source/runtime parity, source/destination body sufficiency, `git diff --check`, branch push, and GitHub release verification passed.

+**Session:** 1f1873d2-0feb-485f-a5ff-d383254590dd
+
+### Changes
+- Opened P116 on top of the released `v10.23 / P115` baseline.
+- Kept the README-listed source-owned active runtime set at 18 files.
+- Began refining RULES so candidate goals, advisory `/goal`, recommendation labels, and recap/closing lines follow the dominant session language end-to-end while preserving exact-literal boundaries.
+- Added one new governed non-runtime playground case family for end-to-end language-aligned goal-surface behavior.
+- Updated the playground index and touched release/design surfaces for this refinement.
+- Runtime install-boundary proof, parity/body-sufficiency verification, push, and GitHub release proof remain pending at this stage.
+
+### Summary
+P116 opens a focused runtime + playground refinement wave so language-aligned goal output can be inspected as one end-to-end governed behavior rather than as command-body wording only.
