 These are historical source collections. OCR errors and upstream metadata classifications are preserved; inclusion does not establish current legal authority. Headnotes are labeled separately from judicial opinions. Internal case links resolve locally within an archive; links to excluded cases point to CAP. Citation and semantic checks are smoke tests, not a broad legal retrieval evaluation. In U.S. Reports 300–399, the original broad right-to-counsel probe placed Gideon outside the top 20 chunks; the final smoke probe uses case-specific facts. The [original failure remains documented](https://github.com/bendyline/knowledge/blob/main/collections/caselaw/us-300-399/retrieval-2026-10-07.json).
