# Research inputs and working ledgers

Files in this directory are build inputs, screening registers, audit maps, and historical working ledgers. They are published for process transparency, but they are **not** the canonical v0.4.0 coded tables.

Use `data/` or `parquet/` for analysis. Some ledgers preserve superseded working terminology, draft confidence annotations, broader candidate hypotheses, or pre-v0.4 evidence links so that the research trail is not silently rewritten. Those notes do not override the generated schema, claim status, locator coverage, maximum conclusion, or release cutoff.

The deterministic input set hashed by `data/stats.json` is limited to the files named there. `research/v0.4_locators.json` records the complete 124-edge locator audit, including unresolved relations and the exact edges removed during the v0.4 red-team. Screening candidates remain leads until they pass claim-level coding and acceptance checks.
