leaves a record.
The published library was developed through direct Greek analysis, lexical work, and manuscript comparison. Where surviving witnesses materially disagree, the competing Greek readings and their effect on English remain open to the reader.

Textual basis
SBL Greek New Testament
Edited by Michael W. Holmes. The project's standardized, publicly inspectable Greek reference edition. It is not presented as retroactive proof that every existing chapter originated from one uniform printed edition.
This is an honest reference claim, not a retroactive claim that all completed work began from one uniform printed edition. Material manuscript forks remain independently documented at the reading they affect.

Μνάσωνί ... / Western expanded itinerary
How does the journey to Mnason’s lodging unfold?
Mnason is introduced as the travelers’ host and as a disciple connected with the movement from its early days.
Why this default
The default preserves the compact itinerary of the broad tradition; the Western text inserts a village stop and rearranges the approach to Jerusalem.
Evidence
ExternalThe compact text is supported by P74, א, A, B, C, E and the broad tradition; the village expansion occurs in Dvid, Old Latin d and the Syriac Harklean margin.
InternalA local itinerary detail readily enters the Western narrative, while coordinated loss across the early streams is less probable.

One registry drives both the reader and this record.
The manifest is regenerated from the translation source before every production build. Its source digest is 7c4cbee907fbc0e84976d6e78a615134e2288f8197ce8abcf67b0452155ddc84.
Decision-level revision history begins with this ledger. Earlier development is not reconstructed into false precision; future material changes can be appended to the relevant record with their reason and date.
