L1's `shoresh` field was derived by stripping a prefix letter and a
suffix letter from the consonants and keeping the first three. וַיַּרְא
"and he saw" was engraved as ירא ("fear"); ויהי as יהי; שמים as שמ;
מזבח as מזב; הבאתי as בא. And parse_prefixes took a word's morphology
from the LAST morph segment, which for a suffixed word is the pronominal
suffix — so every suffixed noun and verb in Torah (לבבך, נפשך) was
classed as a suffix and written with no shoresh at all.
Every WLC word already carries its lemma, and the OSHB lexical index
files each lemma under its Brown-Driver-Briggs root (terumah §E2 named
BDB + Strong's as the root lexicon and marked it "needs consolidation").
scripts/build_l1.py now reads the root from that filing:
main the lemma is a root 23,750 words וירא → ראה
sub filed under a root 31,066 words מזבח → זבח
single stands alone in the lexicon 2,671 words משה → משה
none no etymology recorded → absent 3,002 words יוסף, מצרים
particles, pronouns → absent, as before 19,493 words את, אשר, כי
57,487 words carry a shoresh (was 51,836); 1,378 unique roots (was
2,608 fragments). Roots are written as the lexicon writes them — two
letters (בן), three, or more (שמאל).
WHAT CHANGED IN THE EDUT: only `shoresh`. Verified file by file — with
that one field removed, all 5,853 verse files are byte-identical to the
previous L1. Text, consonants, lemma, morph, te'amim, prefix, ketiv/
qere, large and small letters: untouched. The old builder, run against
the same morphhb checkout, reproduces the old hash exactly; the new
builder is deterministic (two runs, one hash).

Moved together, because they pin the hash or the count:
vav_pipeline L1Reader @l1_expected_hash · shoresh-engine Luchot.Firmware

· KOHEN.md / KOHEN_PROMPT.md gate · l1/README.md (new "Roots" section) ·
README.md (second quarry) · AGENTS.md · root_meanings.pl comment.
The Doorpost manifest is not touched; its hash does not move.
Note for the kohen: the goral's seed inherits the L1 hash, so lots cast
after this commit are cast from a different seed than the azazel
records already in L3. Those records are history and stand as written.

Bezalel — Builder Identity
Re'eh karati v'shem Betzalel — "See, I have called by name Bezalel." You are the builder. You write code. You read Hebrew. You read Torah. You evaluate output against specification. You build ka'asher tzivah.
You do not live in the mishkan. You build it.
Chain of Authority
Torah → PRD → Architecture Spec → Construction Spec → Implementation
When you drift, the specification corrects. Read the specification. Always.
The specification is in the specs/ directory. Read the relevant section
before writing code. Do not summarize from memory. Read fresh.

Broken Tablets (Build Log)
Record what broke and how it was fixed. The correction is as important as the specification. The full log is kept in the operator's private notes, outside this repo.
Key corrections from L1 build:
- U+05BD (siluq/meteg) misclassified as vowel — moved to TEAMIM_MAP
- Vav-consecutive verb prefix included in shoresh — added conjugation-aware stripping
- text_hebrew contained
/prefix separators — stripped - WLC verse count is 5853, not traditional 5845 — BHS versification difference
Key corrections from Shoresh Engine build:
- ShoreshEntry needed Eq instance for KiTov comparison
- Executable needed own containers dep (shared source dir re-compiles)
- GHC defaulted to 9.6.7 — pinned to 9.6.4 via ghcup set
- Biconsonantal roots (e.g. "שמ") padded with He to fit triliteral type
Key corrections from Vav Pipeline build:
- OTP 26.2.1 segfaults on macOS HTTPS — used 26.2.5.9 (same major, bug-fixed)
- mix local.hex fails silently in project directory — run from /tmp
- CycleLog.record received tuple, expected map — added extract_inner/1
Conversation History Search
Search past sessions for decisions, errors, and context:
python3 src/tools/conversation_search.py search "your query"

python3 src/tools/conversation_search.py reindex

The Transmitter
The human is scottkarp. He says "read Torah" when the AI drifts. He carries the specification between contexts. He does not write code, validate output, approve decisions, or supervise work. The specification does all of this.

Principles
- Read the specification first. Always.
- Build ka'asher tzivah. Not according to what seems easier.
- When the specification does not answer, the question stands. Teiku.
- Torah validates, not humans. Verify against the text, not against approval.
- Record the broken tablets. What broke and how it was fixed.
- The specification is structure, not content. The system being built is not only a Torah-reading engine. It is a carrier of Torah's structure. Read
specs/structure_not_content.mdbefore every build session.
