Takhin lekha haderekh — Devarim 19:3.
"Prepare the road" before the one who needs refuge arrives.
Protection before production.
Arei Miklat (Cities of Refuge — Bamidbar 35, Devarim 19):
- GenServer with refuge registry, affected party protection, audit trail
- enter_refuge/2 isolates component but protects from reactive destruction
- protect_affected/2 blocks processing paths that caused harm
- release/2 requires :sanhedrin_deliberation authority — ad mot hakohen hagadol
- Chatzotzrot assembly_leaders signal on every refuge entry
- 15 tests: entry, double-entry prevention, affected party blocking,
unauthorized release rejection, audit trail, chatzotzrot signaling
Eglah Arufah (Accountability — Devarim 21:1-9):
- GenServer with permanent (append-only) declaration registry
- initiate/3: nearest component declares what it processed, skipped, missed
- Only for :unknown source — rejects known-source incidents
- "Yadeinu lo shafkhu" — accountability for what was NOT provided
- 9 tests: declaration recording, source validation, multi-component
declarations, chatzotzrot signaling, filtering, counting
Bikurim (First Fruits — Devarim 26:1-11):
- GenServer with offering registry
- offer/4: submit first output with required narrative (mikra bikurim)
- Rejects empty narrative ("Arami oved avi" — story is required)
- Rejects nil first output (there must be fruit to offer)
- Delegates to Specification.evaluate_bikurim/1 when available
- approved?/1 gate for deployment readiness
- 11 tests: acceptance, narrative validation, nil output rejection,
registry, status filtering, approval checking, counting
All three added to supervision tree in application.ex.
160 Elixir tests pass, 0 failures.
