This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
Brass-serpent typology, third telling (Alma 33:19-22), fusing Nephi's two accounts. The look-and-perish irony: Nephi attributes the perishing to 'the easiness of it', Alma to hardness/unbelief. Companions: alma-serpent-cast-eyes (this page), alma-liahona-easiness-look (liahona.md). Numbers 21, the brazen-serpent source, is in-corpus (frozen) — a legal endpoint, noted rather than drawn as this record's link.
