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

Model-judged curation under the estate's artifact discipline (D-BRIDGE-W2-001 pattern): every verdict is one line in ops/curation/w2/figure_decisions.jsonl (sha256 1bf2e1f88bb14913424053360355ae6dc465176ced0b2a32e77e8646094f0247), with quoted evidence, rationale, and a 10% blind re-review (71/72 agreement; the one discrepancy resolved to hold before this pour — see ops/curation/w2/REVIEW.md). Curated rows carry figure_kind, Smith-Bio apparatus pointers (smith-bio:<vol>:<printed page>:<HEADWORD>, anchors verified against the dictionary's own text layer), and merged name variants. Minted rows are verified homonym-splits (both Catos, both Cleomeneses, Agis II/IV, Leonidas I/II, the two Cyruses, Alexander the Great and Alexander of Pherae, Julius Caesar's clean core, the Plataea regent, Demosthenes the general, L. Junius Brutus, Darius III) and misfile corrections (Romulus, Agesilaus, Artaxerxes, Galba — extract-v1 filed them as places); their attestation copies are episode-grain and carry method='curation-w2-v1' so the extract-v1 ledger stays intact underneath.

What this does not prove
  • A held candidate is not a judgment that the figure is unimportant — homonym clusters (Caesar/Octavian, the Alexander surface, Cato's family name) hold precisely because they are important and mixed; the artifact documents each split plan.
  • Curated attestation copies are episode-grain: where an episode names two bearers of one surface (Cato the Elder inside the Younger's first chapters), the episode's count sits with the man the episode is about; the copy's surface_form and episode pointer let any reader re-derive the call.
  • Minted mention_counts are the verified floor, not the corpus ceiling — Agesilaus' own Life rides an unclassified token ('Agesila', a diaeresis casualty) that awaits extract-v2; the artifact says so.
  • Smith apparatus pointers anchor headword articles (vol + printed page), not numbered persons within them; where the article's opening could not be honestly located in the OCR, the pointer was withheld rather than guessed.
  • figure_kind is the house's register call (person/legendary/deity) on the corpus's own usage and Smith's treatment; it does not adjudicate historicity disputes.
  • Misfiled rows keep their extract-v1 attestations for the record; data_status='misfiled' only takes them out of any serving path.
