canon/tiers/02_Tier_2_Region_Pages/_processed/README.md
The done-side twin of _ready_for_processing/. When a staged SOURCE has been fully
converted/ingested by the book pipeline, its source folder moves here so the inbox only ever
contains pending work. Nothing in here is pending; nothing in here is read by the pipeline.
What lands here and where its product lives:
nationalgeographic/discN/ — original .cng disc staging, moved here after cng_to_jpg.py converts it with ZERO failures. Product: the JPG visual-reference library at
.rag/book_src/natgeo_jpg/discN/.
rejected_noise/ — inbox files the triage lane classified as zero-value for the corpus (with rejected_noise/_dispositions.jsonl recording who/what/why). Visible and reversible,
never silently deleted; move a file back to the inbox with a .meta.json to override.
their extracted products are ingested.
Individually ingested BOOKS do not land here — the ingest itself moves each file to
.rag/book_src/processed/<region>/SRC_NNNNN__<title>.pdf|.md (organized by region, renamed
with its registry id). This folder is for completed STAGING TREES and rejected files, so
"what is left to do" is always exactly the inbox contents.
Disk note: these are large local binaries, gitignored (only this README + .gitignore are
tracked). They stay local; keep your own backup — git is not their home.
