# Syntax Gossip (candidate)

Syntax IR records over Crownless event-to-speech gossip: exact source bytes,
UTF-8 byte spans, UDPipe UD dependencies, NP/VP chunks, clause spans with
hearsay attribution links, and audit lineage per record.

- Status: **candidate** (`braid-syntax-gossip-v0.1.0-candidate.1`). Not
  frozen, authorizes no training. Cloud verification and gold review are
  outstanding.
- Splits: `train.jsonl` (4,000) / `validation.jsonl` (500) / `test.jsonl` (500).
- Backend: `udpipe-1.4.0+english-ewt-2.5`, 138-name reviewed gazetteer.
  Full run: 5,000 parsed, 0 validation failures.
- Verify: `sha256sum -c checksums.sha256`, then re-run record validation
  (source reconstruction, single root, acyclicity, clause integrity,
  attribution links) per the Syntax IR contract in `manifest.json`.
- Rights: derived from Crownless Carriage gossip corpora, published by the
  rights holder. Model-facing text remains game fiction, not factual claims.

Built with the Braid syntactic adapter
(`crownless-syntax` catalog candidate). See the Braid repository for the
adapter source, white paper, and reproduction runbook.
