# RTL & BiDi Control — Guardrails and Fix Pattern
Stabilize retrieval and reasoning when left-to-right content mixes with right-to-left scripts or invisible BiDi marks. No infra change required. All fixes map back to WFGY pages with measurable targets.
## What this page is
- A compact repair guide for directionality bugs that flip tokens, citations, or numbers.
- Steps to normalize control characters, lock direction metadata, and keep offsets verifiable.
- Store-agnostic checks you can run in minutes.
## When to use
- Citations look correct to the eye but snippet offsets do not match.
- Punctuation or brackets render on the wrong side in answers.
- Arabic or Hebrew lines invert number order or collapse after parsing.
- JSON fields with mixed direction break validation or flip keys.
- Search returns near hits but ΔS stays high on RTL content.
## Open these first
- Visual map and recovery: [RAG Architecture & Recovery](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rag-architecture-and-recovery.md)
- End to end retrieval knobs: [Retrieval Playbook](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-playbook.md)
- Why this snippet (traceability schema): [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md)
- Snippet and citation schema: [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md)
- Wrong-meaning hits despite high similarity: [Embedding ≠ Semantic](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/embedding-vs-semantic.md)
- Hybrid instability and reorder issues: [Rerankers](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/rerankers.md)
- Digits width and punctuation mix: [Digits • Width • Punctuation](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/LanguageLocale/digits_width_punctuation.md)
## Acceptance targets
- ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45 on three paraphrases.
- Coverage of target section ≥ 0.70.
- λ remains convergent across two seeds.
- Offsets verified after normalization on both query and snippet.

## Typical breakpoints → exact fix
- **Invisible BiDi marks inside snippets** cause reversed punctuation or bracket order.
Fix: strip control code points during indexing and query pre-norm. Persist a `dir` flag on the clean text.
Open: [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md), [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md)
- **Rendered order vs stored order mismatch** makes citations fail.
Fix: compute character offsets on the normalized text only. Log the normalization pipeline in trace.
Open: [Retrieval Traceability](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md)
- **Numbers flip in Arabic or Hebrew lines** when Eastern Arabic digits mix with Latin punctuation.
Fix: normalize digits to a single system for retrieval. Keep the original form for display.
Open: [Digits • Width • Punctuation](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/LanguageLocale/digits_width_punctuation.md)
- **JSON payloads break or tool calls mis-route** because keys include RTL marks.
Fix: forbid control chars in keys through schema, allow in values only after normalization.
Open: [Prompt Injection](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/prompt-injection.md), [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md)

## 60-second fix checklist
1) **Strip BiDi controls during ingest and query**
Remove these if present:
`LRM U+200E`, `RLM U+200F`, `LRE U+202A`, `RLE U+202B`, `LRO U+202D`, `RLO U+202E`, `PDF U+202C`,
`LRI U+2066`, `RLI U+2067`, `FSI U+2068`, `PDI U+2069`.
Also normalize `NBSP U+00A0`, `ZWJ U+200D` when it changes tokenization.
2) **Persist direction metadata**
Add `dir = "rtl" | "ltr" | "auto"` at snippet and paragraph levels. Store it in the trace envelope.
3) **Index on normalized text only**
- Normalize to NFC.
- Strip BiDi marks.
- Fold digits per store policy.
- Keep original text for rendering.
4) **Contract the payload**
Require fields: `snippet_id`, `dir`, `norm_hash`, `offsets_on_norm`, `source_url`.
Reject if `dir` missing on RTL sources.
Open: [Data Contracts](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/data-contracts.md)
5) **Probe λ_observe**
Vary k = 5, 10, 20. If ΔS stays flat and high, rebuild the index after normalization and re-verify offsets.

## Copy-paste prompt
```
You have TXT OS and the WFGY Problem Map loaded.
My multilingual issue:
* symptoms: punctuation flips or offsets fail on RTL lines
* traces: ΔS(question,retrieved)=..., λ across 3 paraphrases, direction flags
Tell me:
1. the failing layer and why,
2. the exact WFGY page to open,
3. the minimal steps to push ΔS ≤ 0.45 and keep λ convergent,
4. a reproducible check that verifies offsets after normalization.
```
