Adds glossary/ja.json with 357 terms mirroring the English term set and contexts of the existing zh-cn / fa glossaries. Bundled copy added under dist-action/glossary/ja.json so the action loads it automatically when target-language is `ja`. - Economic, mathematical, statistical and finance terminology translated to standard Japanese. - Abbreviations expand to the full Japanese term with the abbreviation in parentheses (e.g. GDP -> "国内総生産(GDP)"). - Personal names transliterated to katakana; CJK-origin researcher names flagged for author review (preferred kanji). Marked as a draft pending native-speaker review in glossary/README.md and docs/user/glossary.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

glossary/ja.json) and bundled copy (dist-action/glossary/ja.json) with 357 terms. - Updated glossary documentation to list Japanese as a draft glossary and reflect current status/metadata.

Adds a Japanese built-in glossary (
glossary/ja.json, 357 terms), mirroring the English term set andcontextfields of the existingzh-cn/faglossaries so coverage is identical across languages.What's included
glossary/ja.json— 357 terms (economics, macro/micro, finance, linear algebra, probability/statistics, time series, network science, economist & mathematician names).dist-action/glossary/ja.json— the bundled copy produced bynpm run build, so the action loads it automatically whentarget-language: ja(the CI dist-action freshness guard passes).Conventions followed
GDP → "国内総生産(GDP)",OLS → "最小二乗法(OLS)".Robert Solow → "ロバート・ソロー".This is an initial draft produced for native-speaker review (per the glossary quality guidelines), marked 🟡 Draft in
glossary/README.md. A Japanese-speaking economist should confirm terminology before promotion to ✅ Complete. Two areas to prioritise:🤖 Generated with Claude Code
