Source register

Texts are acquired by edition, not copied from mirrors.

Public-domain or open-license status is only the beginning. Each local corpus also needs a traceable transcription, preserved numbering, validation, and editorial review.

Editorial rule

A fetched file is never published automatically. Imported stanzas begin in review, retain their printed edition number, and require a separate alignment decision before comparison. Copyrighted translations remain metadata-only without written permission.
