Corpus: CDE's own words about the measures

These files are the text of California Department of Education web pages, retrieved by tools/corpus_fetch.py and committed so the ask layer (ADR 0003) can answer "what does this measure mean and how is it measured?" by quoting CDE verbatim. Nothing in the ask layer paraphrases a definition: a claim that cites a passage must contain a quote that appears, word for word, on the cited page, or the verifier withholds it.

manifest.json records, per page: the URL, the retrieval date (UTC), the "Last Reviewed" date the page itself states, the SHA-256 of the raw HTML as received and of the text file as written, the passage count, and which measure families the page documents. The loader (homeroom.ask.corpus) re-hashes every text file on load and refuses a file whose hash no longer matches, so a hand-edited corpus cannot be quoted as CDE's text.

Key Page Documents

To refresh: from the repository root, with network access, uv run python tools/corpus_fetch.py (or --only <key>). A changed text file is upstream drift; read the diff before committing it, and re-run the evaluation suites, because a definition the model quotes may have moved.
