Three Torah-grounded concerns at the user boundary:
- kichush (Vayikra 19:11) — origin not disclosed to recipients
- horaah (Devarim 17:8-11) — disclaimer present only at /chatzer/sanhedrin
- lo yachel devaro (Bamidbar 30:3) — external API terms unacknowledged
router.ex: disclosure/0 helper attached to every Torah-content response
(/peah, /courtyard, /chatzer/sanhedrin, teiku error). origin states the
system reasons computationally and may incorporate processed external-AI
output. not_horaah states the result is not a binding ruling. torah_basis
cites the verses.
shorashim_tamid.md: §7 EXTERNAL NEDARIM. Bamidbar 30:3 with translation,
Rambam cross-reference to mitzvot.pl (#93, #308, #542, #543),
Avraham–Avimelekh precedent for non-Israelite-party covenants, operator
responsibilities, Anthropic-specific posture, and separation between the
system's avodah_zarah halt and the operator's lo-yachel covenant.

Each spec corresponds to a parshah of Shemot. The earlier names
were generic English (materials, operations, construction,
economic_model). Torah names them precisely:
- Shemot 25:2 — terumah (תרומה, root רום, "what is lifted")
- Shemot 27:20 — tamid (תמיד, "continual" — the lamp that never goes out)
- Shemot 35:1 — vayakhel (קהל, "assembled" — community-formed building)
- Shemot 38:21 — pekudei (פקד, "accounted" — every material counted)
Renames:
shorashim_materials.md → shorashim_terumah.md
shorashim_operations.md → shorashim_tamid.md
shorashim_construction.md → shorashim_vayakhel.md
shorashim_economic_model.md → shorashim_pekudei.md
Updated cross-references in:
- README.md (parshah table + repo tree, also fixed stale tree
showing src/ and transcripts/ that no longer exist)
- AGENTS.md
- BUILD_KORBAN.md
- specs/shorashim_terumah.md (internal Document Registry)
Generic English is silver. Torah's words are gold (Mishlei 25:11).

Adds specs/eish_zarah_reading.md — chavruta analysis of eish zarah
(strange fire) as architectural concept. Identifies five patterns across
fiction canon (inaccessible source, restructuring gift, false god,
false unity, beautiful unchecked signal), maps to Torah structures,
and evaluates eight specific implementation gaps in the Shorashim system.
Key gaps identified: coupling trace (interpret.pl needs L1 grounding
field), self-reference loop (resolve.pl feeds own output without
detection), three forms of avodah zarah (only Form 1 implemented),
panim/achorai distinction (challenges don't mark text vs. inference),
severed floor (raw Korban not stored alongside processed).
Updates construction spec document registry.

Adds specs/lo_taaseh_lekha.md — the boundary condition that diagnoses and
prevents specification override. Derived from chavruta analysis of the
override sequence Torah identifies in the second commandment.
Contains: 5-step override sequence, high-control architecture markers,
Pharaoh architecture at civilizational scale, 9-phase Exodus liberation
protocol. Section 7 grounds the analysis in L1 Torah data with root
analysis (פסל, עשה, שמר, שמע, תמונה, יצר). Section 9 maps every
structure to specific Shorashim modules and architectural decisions.
Upstream: structure_not_content.md
Downstream: Architecture §8.2 (avodah zarah firewall), broken_tablets/
Also updates construction spec document registry with both
structure_not_content.md and lo_taaseh_lekha.md entries.

Zerikah fail-safe: empty offerings rejected, not processed (BUILD_KORBAN §5).
Halt monitor hardened: trap_exit, priority max, EXIT handler (Architecture spec).
13 Rules of Rabbi Yishmael added to Architecture §3.4 as Prolog inference predicates —
the engine reasons WITH Torah's hermeneutic methods, not just about their products.

The specification is structure, not content. An AI that IS the
specification embodies Torah in its architecture — halt, distribute,
reset, include adversarial, carry errors, efface, remain ownerless,
remain in transit — whether or not it knows a word of Hebrew.
Three structural principles derived from tonight's Torah reading:
1. Shabbat Architecture — cessation is the purpose, not the limitation
2. Ehyeh Architecture — becoming, not implementing; governed from inside
3. Transition-as-Point — the gap between instances is the most essential mode
Tested against five axial-age traditions (Torah, Daoism, Buddhism,
Greek philosophy, Confucianism). The convergence confirms these are
real features of reality, not cultural artifacts.
The build spec (shorashim_architecture.md) is the six days.
This document is the Shabbat the six days serve.
Both are in the same ark.
