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.

As it is written (Numbers 3:13): \"in Israel\", but not by others. Priests and Levites are also exempt, for if they could exempt a Israelite [while the Jewish people were] in the desert, then they would certainly exempt themselves.","If a cow gives birth to [a creature which] looks like a donkey or a donkey gives birth to [a creature which] looks like a horse, it is exempt from the laws of the firstborn, for it is written (Exodus 34:20\": \"firstborn donkey\" and (Exodus 13:13) \"firstborn donkey\"--two times, [to teach that] the birthing [mother] must be a donkey, and the born [creature] must be a donkey. And what about eating them? If a pure species gives birth to [a creature which] looks like an impure species, it is permissible to eat [the offspring]; if an impure species gives birth to [a creature which] looks like a pure species, it is forbidden to eat [the offspring], for that which comes from an impure species is impure and that which comes from a pure species is pure. If an impure fish swallows a pure fish, [the pure fish found inside] is permissible to eat; if a pure fish swallows an impure fish, [the impure fish found inside] is forbidden to eat, for it is not its product.","If one's donkey that had not previously given birth now gives birth to two male donkeys, one must give a lamb to a priest. [If it gives birth to] a male and a female, one sets apart a lamb for oneself. If two donkeys that both have not previously given birth now give birth to two males, one must give two lambs to a priest. [If they give birth to] a male and a female, or to two males and a female, one must give a lamb to a priest. [If they give birth to] two females and a male, or two males and two females, the priest gets nothing.","If one donkey has previously given birth and one has not, and they now give birth to two males, one must give a lamb to a priest. [If they gave birth to] a male and a female, one sets apart a lamb for oneself. A firstborn donkey is redeemed with a lamb, [whether the lamb or kid is] from sheep or goats, male or female, large or small, perfect or blemished. One can use it to redeem many times, and if it dies one can benefit from it.","One may redeem neither with a calf, nor with an undomesticated animal, nor with a slaughtered animal, nor with a <i>treifah</i> [animal which cannot live another 12 months], or with a mixed species [i.e., from sheep and goat parents], nor with a <i>koi</i> [animal of ambiguous status, exhibiting characteristics of wild and domesticated animals]. Rabbi El'azar permits [redeeming] with a mixed species because it is still [considered] a lamb; But he forbids a <i>koi</i>, because it is of doubtful [status]. If one gives a donkey to a priest, the priest does not have permission to keep it, until [the priest] separates a lamb for it.","If one separates the redemption for a firstborn donkey, and it dies, Rabbi Eli'ezer says: One is liable for it, just like the five <i>selaim</i> [coins of a specific value] for [the redemption of] a son. The sages say: One is not liable for it, just like the redemption of <i>Maaser Sheini</i> [second tithe of produce, which must be taken to Jerusalem and consumed there]. Rabbi Yehoshua and Rabbi Tzadok testified regarding the redemption of a firstborn donkey that died, that the priest receives nothing in such a case. If a firstborn donkey dies, Rabbi Eliezer says: It is buried and it is permissible to benefit from the lamb. The Sages say: One need not bury it, and the lamb goes to the priest.","If one does not want to redeem it, one breaks its neck from behind with an ax and buries it. The commandment of redeeming it precedes the commandment of breaking its neck, as it is written (Exodus 13:13, Exodus 34:20) \"If you will not redeem it, break its neck.\" The commandment of designating it precedes the commandment of redeeming it, as it is written (Exodus 21:8): \"That you have not designated it -it shall be redeemed.\" The commandment of Levirate marriage preceded the commandment of <i>chalitzah</i> [ceremony releasing the widow of a childless man from the obligation to marry his brother] at first, when they had intention for the sake of the commandment, but now that they do not have intention for the sake of the commandment, we say that the commandment of <i>chalitzah</i> precedes the commandment of Levirate marriage. The commandment of redeeming [an animal devoted to general Temple usage] is on the master before any other person, as it is writtenLine truncated
