New Zealand legislation corpus — canonical living identity

This is the canonical living dataset identity, edithatogo/corpus-legislation-nz. Its selected 552-record durable state was approved for public redistribution and published on 2026-09-03. Its source authority is edithatogo/archive-govt-nz at commit ff01566b5e6fff2f4e2b5f93ecdec11bb0c3c7e8; its archived donor lineage ends at edithatogo/corpus-legislation-nz commit b40587f1b1aec7356a0f623916fcc8212397d283.

The bound target state has manifest root 877ba501a25570a29c1aada7979562d8c62c7f043865125cf402310eabc09544, inventory hash 9ca6dc505f991e015c6c997827878d8c7e9381b214a1544eb338328a285c6894, 552 works, 552 records, and 552 CAS objects. These counts identify the selected state; they do not claim full legislative coverage.

The broader search-derived candidate universe contains 33,693 identifiers. The governed reviewed seed contains 500 identifiers. The two inventories have different semantics, and neither count alone proves full legislative coverage. Aggregate attempted, retrieved, expression, manifestation, normalised, rights-cleared, and published outcome counts remain unknown unless an authenticated receipt states them.
