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.

What did Satan do to Ananias’s heart?
The dominant reading says Satan filled his heart; smaller streams read tested or hardened.
Why this default
Filled is default because it has overwhelming early and diverse support; tested and hardened are genuine ancient alternatives.
Evidence
ExternalThe default spans the major Greek traditions; p74 supports tested, while א* and a few minuscules support hardened.
InternalSimilar-looking verbs and interpretive clarification plausibly generated the minority forms.

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.
