Source Explorer

Source Corpus Manifest

A legal-source explorer starts with a fixed toy corpus manifest. Honesty note: simplified toy source-explorer model, corpus-light with no neochart dependency; the pinned first step carries the full honesty note.

Source explorer honesty note

Honesty note: simplified toy source-explorer model; corpus-light and no neochart dependency; jurisdictions and authority treatment vary; as of June 24, 2026; not legal advice; code encodes a stated review workflow, not the law itself.

Start with a fixed corpus manifest

The stated process starts with hand-pinned source records: constitution, statute, rule, case, and policy-note rows.

Example manifest packet

The toy manifest keeps citation, source, jurisdiction, as-of, source type, and text fields separate.

The table recomputes support

The retrieval table recomputes 5 source records and 5 token-supported rows from the authored manifest.
