What changed

What counts as a revision?

A revision is a targeted change to a committed verse — an English polish, a restored rhetorical force, a preserved wordplay, or a project-wide consistency fix (like the Χριστός → Messiah normalization). Revisions don't overwrite the original draft; they layer on top, and the previous rendering is kept as a footnote on every revised verse. Detailed policy in REVISION_METHODOLOGY.md.

What do the tiers mean?

Tier 1 is mechanical stylistic polish — awkward English cleaned up where the suggested rewrite shares most of its words with the draft. These are auto-applied with a word-overlap safety check.

Tier 2 is Claude Opus 4.7 adjudicating Gemini's flagged majors — mistranslations, lexical fixes, and grammar losses whose rationale cites specific Hebrew / Greek evidence. A Tier-2 rewrite is only applied if the rationale grounds the change in BDAG, HALOT, BDB, or in source-language grammar.

Anything requiring policy judgment (theological weight, cross-verse consistency) is kept out of the automatic-safe-fix path.
