# JuriCode-JP retrieval index and citation registry
Structured Japanese statutory law for retrieval, with a citation registry that lets a
consumer verify that a quoted passage is byte-identical to the source text.
## Contents
| Path | What it is |
|---|---|
| `index/v0.2-aug-v9-gemini.npy` | Dense vectors, `float32`, shape `(143749, 3072)` |
| `index/v0.2-aug-v9-gemini.meta.jsonl` | One row per vector, in the same order: `chunk_id`, `article_id`, `law_id`, and section metadata |
| `registry/registry-2026-07/documents.jsonl` | One row per document, with its content hash |
| `registry/registry-2026-07/chunks.jsonl` | `chunk_id` -> document id |
| `registry/registry-2026-07/_manifest.json` | Provenance: `pipeline_version`, paired index, sha256 of inputs and outputs |
Embedding model: `gemini-embedding-001` (3072 dimensions, `RETRIEVAL_DOCUMENT` task type).
Registry `pipeline_version`: `w6-registry/2026-07`.
The `.npy` row at position *i* corresponds to the `.meta.jsonl` row at position *i*.
## What `hash_basis` means (read this before trusting a hash)
Every document in the registry carries a `hash_basis` field. **The three values do not
carry the same strength of evidence.** Do not treat them as interchangeable.
| `hash_basis` | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `egov-xml-canonical` | The text was checked against the e-Gov source XML. The hash is the one recorded in the per-law source manifest. |
| `egov-xml-derived` | Supplementary provisions (附則). Derived from the same source XML, but there is no per-article manifest anchor for them yet. |
| `juricode-stored-text` | The hash is over the text as stored here. **It is self-reported.** No external source was re-fetched to confirm it. |
This distribution is **not** "all verified". It is verified where it says it is verified.
## No pickle
Only `.npy` and `.jsonl` are distributed. The `.vec.pkl` file used internally is **not**
published: it holds the same vectors as the `.npy`, and unpickling executes arbitrary
code in the reader's process. A project whose value proposition is verifiability should
not ship a format that asks the consumer to trust it.
## Licensing
The structuring layer (schema, ids, chunking, this index) is MIT.
The underlying texts are not ours to relicense: statutes come from e-Gov, circulars and
tax guidance from the National Tax Agency, and rulings from the National Tax Tribunal;
each is used under its own terms. See the source repository for the per-source table.
## Comparing registries
Do not diff two registries with different `pipeline_version` values. A change in the
pipeline changes how text is chunked and hashed, so a row-by-row diff across versions
measures the pipeline, not the law.
## Integrity
The sha256 of every file here is recorded in `CHANGES.md` in the source repository. That
file is the anchor: it lets a third party confirm that what they downloaded is what was
published, and that it was not replaced afterwards.
