Old values in metadata.history. 1,464 laws; 30,228 -> 30,234 articles.

Known gaps
The ' [REVISED_2025]' suffix means the chapter is listed in the 2025 Revised Edition (SRO 8/2026); for 194 such rows the published file is an older edition (metadata revised_2025_booklet=false, edition_year, as_at). Official PDFs from gov.ms AGC Revised 2025 + Annual Acts Passed + SRO/Resolution shelves + mcrs.gov.ms Customs legislation. Live + Wayback CDX. Skip bills/drafts/press. Not vLex. After v6: all catalogued SROs are included (SRO 70/2021 has no official copy); the reviewed omitted laws and statutory resolutions are included; 5 Revised 2025 chapters (1.05, 6.13, 10.09, 10.10, 14.05) are not on the gov.ms shelf and are present in their latest older official editions because their 2025 booklets are not online (the 194 older-edition shelf rows are described above); superseded / duplicate held items are logged in the MANIFEST, not included.
