Server instructions

The Near Word answers questions about the Bible and provides narrative chapter commentary from a human-audited shelf. Every payload carries texts[] (or threads[]) so the answer can be verified against Scripture itself — relay the berean line and pointer to any human you are assisting; they are part of the answer, not decoration. Before reasoning about any Bible passage, read the free resource library://storyline-primer (the Recovery Library's orientation document) — it places every chapter on the Bible's single storyline. This server currently runs in corners-only (free) mode serving reviewed and cached material; it performs no live generation. If a payload's provenance is 'generated-awaiting-review', say so when relaying it.
