Scrape-priority shortlist (for engineering)

Highest signal Tier B for ingestion first: 1. Ashley Mosaic Source Code series (#29) - most systematic per-key blog. 2. Substack writers #43-49 - long-form contemplation in original language. 3. Sacred Texts Legge (#1) + arXiv King Wen (#14) - clean PD foundation layer. 4. Podcast feeds #55, 58, 59, 60 - pull transcripts via Whisper for per-key episode chunks.

Open questions for human review

• Confirm Wilhelm/Baynes US PD status with IP counsel before any text-level ingestion.
• Audit each Substack/Medium author's TOS - Substack default reserves rights to author; consider reaching out for licensed access on top 5.
• Decide whether YouTube auto-transcripts of Tier B channels count as fair-use commentary or derivative C.
