# California scoped canonical publication

This batch publishes Alhambra Measure DB and Monterey Park Measure NDC from
the [primary-source review](../california-ballot-review/README.md). It does not
create a legacy moratorium, current-force restriction or automatic instrument
relationship.

Alhambra retains two immutable result observations: the older county snapshot
(13,314 yes / 2,889 no) and its explicitly superseding November 5 snapshot
(15,237 yes / 3,132 no). Certification, reporting completeness and passage outcome
remain unknown. Its proposed citywide definition and conditional accessory
exclusion are distinct from the predecessor council prohibition. Official action
minutes support June 22 predecessor adoption and July 27 election referral;
unsigned Word attachments do not establish certified voter enactment.

Monterey Park retains the certified 10,388 yes / 1,372 no result and source-reported
approval, with 12,381 ballots cast and 32,781 registrations from the contest-labelled
canvass. No blank or under/overvote count is inferred. The result's certification
date uses the **June 30 city-clerk phase**. Claims preserve June 26 county
certification, July 1 council declaration and the signed ordinance's July 2 date
as distinct observations. The section 9 ten-day Council-certification trigger
does not become an accepted operative-date interval here.

An additional scoped visual review of the signed Resolution 2026-R6, PDF pages
1 and 3, confirms council referral for the June 2 election under Elections Code
section 9222 and its March 4 adoption. The remaining pages of that seven-page
referral attachment were not newly reviewed in this increment. The separate
eleven-page result/Ordinance 2280 packet was reviewed in the primary-source packet.
The land-based one-acre definition and conjunctive smaller/accessory exclusion
remain explicit; no building-floor-area substitution or parcel aggregation is
inferred. Current legal force and links to Ordinances 2272/2274/2278 remain open.

Both measures preserve unresolved bindingness/current legal implementation as
recorded. Their restrictive yes direction follows actual voter-facing wording,
not an inference from a generic proposal. No source/model output is accepted
merely for passing a schema.

The explicit identity/publication plans pin the prior snapshot, registry and
every row fingerprint. The private candidate adds nine source records, 26 claims,
two measures/provisions/elections/jurisdictions, three result observations and
scoped review decisions. Retained earlier publications and source versions are
unchanged. Visual receipts pin exact claim values, source bodies and page renders.

The publication preflight exposed a historical-text indexing defect: registering
later OCR hid a prior original extraction from the index. The fix retains both
hash-verified versions, leaves the reviewed derivation preferred, and rejects
untracked originals/corrupt derivations. A regression test covers original
publication survival after OCR registration. This does not rewrite Peru's source
record or treat empty native extraction as full-document extraction.

Apply, replay and offline-consistency receipts are retained under
`work/audit/california-*2026-11-05.json`. The generated public results view and
census correspondence ledger track the resulting scoped publication. GitHub
release, full candidate review and legal-history verification remain separate
unfinished workstreams.
