Add Rawls/Scanlon fair-use excerpts to rawlsian-justice bundle#16
Merged
Conversation
The three named sources stay copyright-withheld (redistributable:false, no committed files). Their canonical passages are now recorded as brief fair-use excerpts: publicly in each manifest entry's notes (the repo's sanctioned mechanism for copyrighted sources), and more fully in a gitignored _private/ working file for the local distillation bundle. This lets the distillation anchor on Rawls's and Scanlon's own words while keeping the public repo free of copyrighted text. README updated to document the approach.

Follow-up to PR #15 (already merged). That PR merged before this change was pushed, so the fair-use excerpts never made it into main — this adds them.
The three named sources (Rawls' A Theory of Justice and Political Liberalism, and Scanlon's What We Owe to Each Other) stay copyright-withheld: redistributable:false, no committed files. Their canonical passages are now recorded as brief fair-use excerpts in two places:
notesfield inmanifest.json— the repo's sanctioned mechanism for copyrighted sources ("store only the URL + license + a short fair-use excerpt publicly")._private/working file, formatted for the distillation bundle so it can anchor on Rawls' and Scanlon' own words alongside a legally-obtained copy of the full texts.No copyrighted text is committed as a repo file; CI passes. Only manifest.json and README.md change. The excerpts follow the standard editions and are flagged to be page-verified against a print copy (the two principles differ between the 1971 and 1999 editions of A Theory of Justice).
