GetBible v3 publication pipeline
A Python 3.12 build system that converts SWORD module output into a deterministic, validated, checksummed static API.

Purpose and value
Why this system exists
The pipeline creates a controlled publication boundary between native source extraction and downstream consumers. It validates framing and contracts, produces deterministic artifacts, and refuses publication when integrity conditions fail.

System structure
Architecture
- 01
Native SWORD extraction is consumed through a line-oriented NDJSON contract.
- 02
Transformation stages normalize content into versioned static API artifacts.
- 03
Validation checks framing, schemas, identifiers, checksums, and publication expectations.
- 04
Build output is deterministic so releases can be compared, reproduced, and audited.
Boundaries
Principal interfaces
Judgement
Engineering decisions
Use a streaming contract to keep the native and Python responsibilities independently testable.
Fail closed: malformed or incomplete inputs do not become public artifacts.
Preserve stable identifiers and editorial semantics across transformation.
Confidence model
Delivery, validation, and maintenance
