the second scroll: the mesorah snapshot, pinned and read (bishe'arecha step 6)

Devarim 17:18 — the king writes his copy from before the priests, not from
memory. scripts/build_mesorah.py takes one open-licence version per work
per language from the Sefaria export (bucket sefaria-export, catalogue of
2026-10-02; Public Domain / CC0 / CC-BY / CC-BY-SA only, checked in every
file; no CC-BY-NC — the Bavli is Wikisource's) and lays it down beside
L1: mesorah/works/<slug>/{he,en}.json, index.json, integrity.sha256,
build_report.json. 128 works (Rashi, Onkelos, Ramban, Ibn Ezra, Sforno
on the Torah; all of Mishnah; 37 Bavli tractates; Bereshit and Shemot
Rabbah, Sifrei, Tanchuma), 256 files, 44.9 MiB, tree hash 7d5b3a6c…
computed as L1's (sorted relative path, then bytes; the two post-hash
files excluded). What is out, and why (licence), is in Terumah §E5.

Read, never fetched: korban_processor/mesorah.py finds citations as
written (Rashi on Devarim 6:5, Berakhot 2a, Mishnah Berakhot 1:1,
Bereshit Rabbah 1:1, Sifrei Devarim 32, Tanchuma Bereshit 1 …), resolves
each against the snapshot (complex works through their unnamed node,
Tanchuma by parashah), lists them as examination.mesorah_references, and
makes every passage found a given source for that examination — so a
claim about Rashi anchors in Rashi or does not. The Vav Pipeline couples
coupled(reference(R), mesorah(Work, [Address])) or not_in_mesorah; the
engine accepts mesorah/2 as a terminal and not_in_mesorah is Form 4.
VavPipeline.Mesorah pins the hash, re-reads the tree at startup and every
ten minutes, and /kodesh/health carries mesorah_hash. Mounted read-only at
/mnt/mesorah in the vav-pipeline and korban-processor images. L3
bedikot.mesorah (migration 20261013000002).

Also: the 1-in-12 Day6 serving failure of 2026-10-04 reproduced with seed
446116 — HaltMonitorTest left the system halted; it now resolves on exit
and the Day6 setup is defensive. Construction §3.11, Terumah §E5, Tamid
§1.1, bishearecha §IV, KOHEN, AGENTS. Doorpost 0638d4eb…. Elixir 604/0
(seeds 835592 and 446116), korban 294/1 skipped, Prolog bedikah 44/44,
L3 10/0.

He [the former] takes three quarters and he [the latter] takes one quarter.","Two [men] were riding on an animal, or one was riding and one was leading. One says, \"all of it is mine,\" and the other one says, \"all of it is mine.\" This one shall swear that he owns no less than half of it, and the other one shall swear that he owns no less than half of it, and they will divide it.  In a situation where they agree, or they have witnesses, they divide it without an oath.","One was riding on an animal and saw an object, and said to his fellow, \"give it to me.\" The [other] took it and said, \"I have acquired it,\" [then] he has acquired it [for himself.] If the [other] gave it to him [the one riding the animal] and then said, \"I acquired it [for myself] first,\" [it is as if] he said nothing.","If he saw an object and fell on it, and another came and took possession of it, the one who took possession of it acquired it. If he saw them running after an object, or after a deer [with a] broken [leg], or after hatchlings that have not yet flown, and he said, \"my field has acquired it for me,\" [the field] has acquired it for him. If the deer was running normally, or the hatchlings were flying, and he said, \"my field has acquired it for me,\" [it is as if] he said nothing.","Something found by his minor son or daughter, or something found by his gentile servant or maid-servant, or something found by his wife - these belong to him. Something found by his adult son or daughter, or something found by his Hebrew servant or maid-servant, or something found by his wife whom he divorced, even if he has not yet paid her the value of her <i>ketubah</i> [monetary settlement payable to a married woman upon divorce or the death of her husband], these belong to them.","If one finds debt documents: if it includes mortgaged property, it should not be returned [to the creditor], for the court may seize the property from them [because of the strength of the document].  However, if there is no mortgaged property mentioned, it may be returned, for the courts will not seize property from them - these are the words of Rabbi Meir.  The Sages say, in either case, it should not be returned, because the court may [nevertheless] seize property from them [because of the strength of the document].","If one found divorce documents, or a document of manumission of slaves, a [last] will, the deed of a gift, or receipts; one should not return [them to the writer], for I might say, \"They were written, and then I changed my mind [and decided] not to give them.\"","If one found court-ordered property assessments, allowances [for a widow to sell property] for food, documents of <i>chalitsah</i> [ceremony performed to release a widow of a childless man from the obligation of Levirate marriage] or <i>mi'un</i> [refusal by an orphaned girl, married off while a minor by her mother or brothers, to remain in the marriage; the marriage is ended by her refusal, without a divorce], documents of arbitration, or [documents of] any court action, one should return [these documents].  [However,] if one found them in a packet or a bag, wrapped together or as a bundle of documents, he should return [them]. And how is a bundle of documents [defined]? - three tied together.  Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel says, if the document records a borrower from three lenders, it should be returned to the borrower; three borrowers from one lender, should be returned to the lender.  If one found a document in his files but doesn't know its history, it should be left until Eliyahu comes [and resolves it].  However, if there are postscripts, one should follow what is in the postscripts."],["Which are the found items that belong to him [the finder], and which ones must he announce? These are the found items which belong to him [the finder]: if one found scattered fruit, scattered money, sheaves in the public domain, fig-cakes, baker's bread, strings of fish, cuts of meat, wool as it is from the country, bundles of flax and purple wool - these are his [the finder's,] these are the words of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Yehuda says, anything which has on it a change, one must announce. How so? If one found a cake with a clay shard in it, orLine truncated
