Gap analysis done 2026-03-28, updated 2026-04-05. The braid extractions (constitutional record) live in `CapableMind-AI/docs/thinking/David/l2-constitution/archive/braid-extractions/` (1-8). Those stay.

The source texts on Desktop (`__CapableMind to dos/_Archived/L2 Source Audit/Braid texts/`) are raw PDFs/txt files. Several already exist in the chamber-library (Harrison, Aristotle, Confucius). Also now in library: Derrida *Mal d'Archive* (COMPLETE 2026-04-05), ARN, Pirkei Avot. Missing from library:

1. Halbertal — *People of the Book* (Rabbinic, PDF+txt)
2. Matilal — *Perception* (Indian, PDF+txt)
3. Nussbaum — *The Fragility of Goodness* (Greek, PDF+txt)
4. Didi-Huberman — *L'image survivante* (Warburg, PDF)
5. Wilson — *Research Is Ceremony* (Indigenous, PDF+txt)
6. Smith — *Decolonizing Methodologies* (Indigenous, PDF)
7. al-Suyuti — *Perfect Guide to Quran Sciences* + *Science of Hadith* (Islamic, PDFs+txt)
8. *Book of Rites* (Liji) + *Xunzi* (Chinese, PDFs+txt)
9. Warburg — *Schlangenritual* (Warburg, PDF+txt)

**Why:** Filing these completes the chamber-library's constitutional provenance. Once done, the Desktop folder is redundant.

**How to apply:** Use `pdftotext` for extraction (AI agents blocked by content filtering on copyrighted texts). The .txt files on Desktop are already OCR'd — just need frontmatter and filing. Template proven with ARN extraction. Do after ARN extraction is verified as Chamber-citable.
