…ht, verified AMENDS edges - New base pack us-house-bills: hr namespace (authority_type bill), corpus house-bills-119 with persona/charter/metadata schema, 6-bill live seed, and an on-demand HouseBillSourceProvider (govinfo bulkdata, status-driven version choice). - validate_pack.py: add 'bill' to the authority-type vocabulary (mirrors OpenContracts AUTHORITY_TYPE_BILL from the house-bills core seams). - Continuous content path: Open-Source-Legal/us-house-bill-feed pushes rolling-window payloads to /api/worker-uploads/authority-sections/. Validated: scripts/validate_pack.py OK; canonical load_authority_pack --check and a real install verified against OpenContracts feature/us-house-bills-pack (corpus+persona+namespace+equivalences+22 verified relationships+Fieldset+6 docs; provider discovered via AUTHORITY_PACK_PATHS, locate plan correct).
Live GUI walkthrough found the corpus agent declaring H.R. 41 outside the rolling window while the bill sat in the corpus: 'H.R. 41' is an identifier, not a meaning, so semantic search missed and the silence rule (correctly) refused to invent an answer — from a wrong premise. Rule 2a requires an exact/title lookup before any absence conclusion.
gpt-4.1 read the silence rule and answered 'outside the window' for a bill sitting in the corpus, without one tool call (usage: requests=1, tool_calls=0). The exact-lookup guidance must be a hard precondition, not advice.

New base pack for proposed Federal legislation (House side), designed against the OpenContracts house-bills core seams (Open-Source-Legal/OpenContracts#2279).
What's in the pack
hrnamespace (authority_type: bill— a proposed bill is not a statute), keyshr:119-<number>; unqualified grammar keys (hr:1234) fold onto the current congress via equivalence rows (seeded here, continuously upserted by the ingest drain, re-pointed each congress).house-bills-119atPROPOSEDweight: persona (proposed-not-law, rolling-window silence semantics, version naming, AMENDS-walk methodology), charter, metadata schema (13 Fieldset columns), 6-bill live seed built from govinfo bulkdata on 2026-08-26 with verified AMENDS/CITES relationships parsed from GPO'sparsable-citemarkup.providers/house_bill_provider.py— on-demand gap-fill for cited-but-absent bills (frontier/crawl path). Status-driven version choice (BILLSTATUStextVersions, not listing mtime — GPO re-touches old files). Vendored stdlib-only converter at pack root, relative imports per the copy-to-port rule.validate_pack.py:billadded to the authority-type vocabulary (mirror of core'sAUTHORITY_TYPE_BILL).Continuous content
