tetrak_authority.authority

Look names up in a snapshot, by fold key, offline.

Authority opens a snapshot’s SQLite index (see tetrak_authority.index) and matches a name on the fold keys of every name in it. A lookup folds what it is given the same way, so Tumanyan, Hovhannes, Թումանեան Յովհաննէս and Toumanian Hovannes all reach the same record. Nothing here touches the network, and nothing is read until a lookup asks for it.
