No lens-leakage detected in the running English — the running text is ASV-baseline-adjacent throughout, with all WoH-distinctive observations (nefesh-as-vital-self, ha-Elohim with article, performative blessing-irrevocability) confined to commentary and glossary apparatus. A credentialed Hebrew Bible scholar reading the running translation cold would not detect WoH-distinctive interpretive content. The 12 new glossary entries are philologically serious; the only inferred entry (rebekah-pretext-hittite-wives-cover) is rigorously defensible. The single flag-for-human item is an internal-consistency issue between the chapter file and the glossary at v 39's partitive-vs-separative question — both readings are defensible, but the artifacts disagree about which the project has chosen as the running-text default.
