A receipt records what the house consulted and what it did not establish. The open state is part of the record, not a defect in it.

What this shows

Tacitus, The Annals (Church & Brodribb; 721 episodes, 157,878 tokens). Licenses verified from the scans' own title/copyright pages at STAGE 0 (pre-1930 US publications; later reprint apparatus excluded). Deterministic per-book extraction profiles (ops/pipeline/profile_*.py) with committed repair/strip logs: every OCR-repaired chapter marker and running head is flagged with its raw token; the two chapters the Dover/Rolfe edition itself omits (Tib. 43-44) are recorded, not fabricated. Episode membership rides episode.receipt_id = receipt:corpus-w6.

What this does not prove
  • The served text is the Church & Brodribb English translation (1876) as digitized by the Perseus Project — the translators' Victorian voice, not Tacitus' Latin; original_text is NULL (no alignment is fabricated).
  • Fidelity is to the Perseus digital edition at the pinned commit, not to any manuscript or critical apparatus; Perseus' own transcription errors, if any, are served as published.
  • Chapter segmentation follows the digital edition's book/chapter structure (721 chapters, matching the Annals' canonical counts); Books VII-X and parts of V, VI, XI and XVI are lost in the manuscript tradition itself — the record serves what survives.
  • The apparatus shelf's Tacitus scan (B&N 2005 reprint) was probed and RETIRED for serving: its shipped text layer carries 19.5% reversed-reading-order damage, and the edition prints no chapter numbers, so canonical refs could not be validated from it even after a clean local re-OCR (tesseract; profile tac-bn-v1 probe). It also contains the Annals only, despite its 'Annals and Histories' filename. The Histories therefore remain UNSERVED.
  • Episode token counts are whitespace word counts, not linguistic tokens.
