  • check_status: Check whether an act is in force or repealed, with text quality and provision count

  • Web interface: Nepali-language SPA at http://localhost:3001 with search (debounced), browse, and provision viewer

  • PDF pipeline: Download PDFs from CDN, extract sections via pdfjs-dist + tesseract OCR, quality-check

      Enables AI assistants to retrieve the exact, structured text of 10 major Indian Acts — pulling individual sections or Constitution articles, browsing chapters and section ranges, and running ranked keyword searches — with repealed laws flagged and their replacements named. All results are sourced directly from the underlying Act texts rather than model memory, preventing hallucinated section numbers, punishments, or outdated law.
