LTB v0.1.7 — certified-translator refs for all 16 LTB pairs
Major dataset milestone: every LTB language pair now has at least 10 certified-translator reference documents. Closes the en-ru gap from v0.1.6.4 (was N=0 after script-validation cleanup) and upgrades all 7 surviving extension pairs from ml-curated to certified-translator quality.
What changed
Released scripts/add_flores_extension_refs.py — a one-shot, idempotent enrichment script that matches each region's English text in FLORES eng_Latn.devtest and pulls the parallel translation from each v0.1.6 extension-pair FLORES file. 408 region-pair refs added across 10 FLORES-derived docs, 0 unmatched.

Out of scope for this release
Leaderboard scores remain at v0.1.6 numbers. Re-running NLLB / opus-mt / identity / qwen-vl against the new references is a follow-on scoring milestone.
