Reproducible Acquisition & Processing v0.1

Goal

Take a small, legally redistributable, non-safety-critical pilot corpus from reviewed source files to validated and reproducible source, document, and chunk records.

The milestone covers five pilot documents, with plain text and born-digital PDF as the first supported formats.

Completion criteria

  • Five approved, legally redistributable, non-safety-critical documents are committed.
  • Every source, document, and chunk record validates.
  • File size, SHA-256 checksums, lineage, and chunk offsets are verifiable.
  • The processing pipeline is deterministic.
  • A clean checkout can regenerate the committed processed output using documented commands.
  • Failures are clear and non-destructive.
  • The existing Arkive-created metadata example remains a regression fixture and does not count as one of the five pilot documents.

Explicitly out of scope

  • OCR or scanned-PDF processing
  • Safety-critical source material
  • Embeddings or vector indexes
  • LLM integration or generated answers
  • Translation or speech systems
  • Large-scale scraping
  • Production release bundles
