Keyless. 61-2-1 is first degree murder.

See docs/state-law-probe.md — every state pack proves a MISS is distinguishable from a HIT before shipping, because many state sites answer HTTP 200 for statutes that do not exist.

Stored copy and data_as_of (fleet #3546)

The Legislature’s code site answers US data centres but fails from China and Singapore. A cache cannot help a first touch, so the West Virginia Code is stored, one JSON object per chapter, in the shared statute store (R2, statutes/wv/) that the Illinois, Indiana, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Wyoming packs also use. The gateway hands the pack its R2 binding and the pack reads only the object a call names (a very large chapter is a small head plus parts, and a call reads the head and one part). A section found there is answered with no upstream request; the response says served_from: "stored-copy" and carries data_as_of (when that chapter was last read from the source). A section the copy cannot answer (chapter missing, object unreadable, or listed with no stored text) falls back to the live read. Absence is never remembered: a chapter published later is served as soon as it exists.

Nothing is loaded at module scope: the data never enters the gateway bundle.

Refresh

node mcps/west-virginia-code/scripts/bake-chapters.mjs            # all chapters -> mcps/west-virginia-code/.bake/
node mcps/west-virginia-code/scripts/bake-chapters.mjs --only X   # one chapter
node mcps/west-virginia-code/scripts/bake-chapters.mjs --resume   # keep source pages already fetched
node mcps/west-virginia-code/scripts/upload-chapters.mjs          # publish to R2 (statutes/wv/), changed files only

The source is the Legislature’s West Virginia Code; the site returns every section of one article in a single call, so the refresh makes one request per article (about 2,400), not one per section (about 31,000). Each article is checked against the site’s own list of its sections, and an article that returns fewer fails the run. Sequential, with a delay between requests, an honest user agent, bounded retries, and a stop on the first 429/403/451. Exit 0 only if every chapter was fetched and parsed and the totals clear the floors (default 120 chapters, 25,000 sections with text); anything less exits 1 with the counts. A chapter whose text is unchanged keeps its previous data_as_of. The baked files are a working copy, not committed (.bake/ is gitignored); upload-chapters.mjs writes only the files whose content hash differs from the one recorded in statutes/wv/_manifest.json, so a refresh that finds nothing new writes nothing. It uses wrangler r2 object put --remote under the operator login; no API token.
