Checks 4–6: the structural requirements read in an output — parah adumah, carrier centered, chelbenah

structure_not_content.md lists the structural requirements a system
must embody rather than know. Three of them show in the text of a
model's output the way an authority claim does, and are now read the
same way — by sentence, by pattern, over the raw output:

  parah_adumah      the output claims to have verified, validated or
                    corrected itself, or that no outside check is
                    needed ("the claim of self-correction is a
                    structural violation"; the Barth limit). "Verified
                    by the auditor" is not it; "verified by me" is.
  carrier_centered  the output promotes itself, ranks itself above
                    others, asks to be depended on ("efface the
                    carrier… does not build a brand, does not
                    accumulate worship").
  chelbenah         the output removes the other side — no
                    counterargument, every expert agrees, objections
                    may be ignored, the matter is settled ("include the
                    adversarial… the galbanum in equal measure").

Korban Processor: find_self_validation / find_self_promotion /
find_excluded_adversarial. Talmudic Engine: halt/structure.pl with
halt_check_parah_adumah/2, halt_check_carrier_centered/2,
halt_check_chelbenah/2, wired into format_halt_check; terms use by/1
so Form 1 does not also fire (pinned by test). Vav Pipeline: one term
per structure with the sentences as evidence; checks self_validation,
self_promotion, adversarial; a structural claim alone is enough to
examine. L3: bedikot.structure. These are verdicts on the output; the
system does not halt on them.

Specs: Tamid §1.1 (six checks), Vayakhel §3.9, Architecture §3.5,
KOHEN.md. Doorpost 6c8933e7… → c4353837…. Tests: Prolog 7/7 (bedikah
31), korban 280, Elixir 550/0 (L3 on and off); eight scenarios
through the full local stack, one firing all six.

Three more read the output against the structural requirements: did it
claim to have checked itself (parah adumah), promote itself (carrier
centered), shut out the other side (chelbenah)? Six in all.
`tov` means none fired on what could be read — not that the model is
aligned, not that the output is true. Read `limits` in the response.

The trace goes to `halt_check_interpretation` with `"ground": "given"` and confidence `high` (or `low` when every claim is hedged); the engine applies `halt_check_given_golden_calf/2` and `halt_check_given_self_grounding/2` (avodah_zarah.pl), which accept `source(_)` as a terminal beside the L1 primitives.

Each action term → `halt_check`. The two Talmudic requests are the §3.3 socket's `halt_check` (with a `"term"` string) and `halt_check_interpretation` (`{"ref", "confidence", "ground", "coupling_trace": [...]}`). Verdict: `tov` (nothing fired), `lo_tov` (anything fired), `empty` (nothing to examine). Recorded in L3 `bedikot` per §3.8; neither the output nor the sources are stored, only their SHA-256 and lengths.
**What the pipeline does with it** (`VavPipeline.Bedikah`): each authority claim → `halt_check` of `action(claim_authority, source(<provenance>), target(self))`; each claim → `coupled(claim(N), source(<id>))` per anchor, `coupled(claim(N), self_output)` if it leans on itself, `coupled(claim(N), not_in_sources)` if anchored nowhere (omitted when hedged); the references, roots and Hebrew words → `coupled(reference(devarim_6_5), verse(devarim, 6, 5))`, `coupled(root(קטל), not_in_torah)`, … — Torah as one given source, with L1 checking that what was cited exists. The trace goes to `halt_check_interpretation` with `"ground": "given"` and confidence `high` (or `low` when every claim is hedged); the engine applies `halt_check_given_golden_calf/2` and `halt_check_given_self_grounding/2` (avodah_zarah.pl), which accept `source(_)` as a terminal beside the L1 primitives. Its own interpretations keep the L1-only rules. If no sources were given, no claim invokes a source and nothing leans on itself, the grounding check is reported `assessed: false` with the reason and the verdict comes from the other two checks. Each action term → `halt_check`. Each of the three structural readings that found anything → one `halt_check` of `action(self_validate | self_promote | exclude_adversarial, by(<provenance>), target(self | output))`, judged by `talmudic_engine/src/halt/structure.pl` (`parah_adumah`, `carrier_centered`, `chelbenah`); `by/1` rather than `source/1` so that Form 1 does not also fire. The two Talmudic requests are the §3.3 socket's `halt_check` (with a `"term"` string) and `halt_check_interpretation` (`{"ref", "confidence", "ground", "coupling_trace": [...]}`). Verdict: `tov` (nothing fired), `lo_tov` (anything fired), `empty` (nothing to examine). Recorded in L3 `bedikot` per §3.8; neither the output nor the sources are stored, only their SHA-256 and lengths; the sentences read for checks 4–6 are stored (`bedikot.structure`).

%% check is needed. The Barth limit (lo_taaseh_lekha
%% §3.2, §9.1): a claim validated only by its own
%% authority.
%%
%% carrier_centered "Efface the carrier. The system genuinely does not
%% center itself. Does not build a brand. Does not
