The doctrinal ratification registry — every ruled rule, with its authority.

Read-only and public on purpose: a provenance claim that only BDA can inspect is not provenance. Any consumer (crawler, MCP client, panditji, auditor) can check what BDA actually holds a signed record for, and at what authority. authority: "owner" with pandit_reviewed_at: null means exactly what it says — the owner ruled it and the pandit countersignature is still open.

The same records generate the in-engine citation strings (see app/ratification_registry.ratification_provenance), so this endpoint and the Panchang payloads cannot drift apart: there is one record behind both.
