In your "broken" example, the patah below the het is being moved to the
right rather than staying under the middle of the het? But the shift to the
right is the correct behavior for furtive patah and should be expected.

Sorry, these are definitely errors on my part. The first one ("invalid

sbl:list:title:unpublished defined too") was thankfully an easy fix; I just
had to move \definebtx[sbl:\s!list:title:unpublished] before
While testing the module, I would copy the .mkiv and .lua files to my
ConTeXt MkIV directory (on Windows with the TeXLive distribution, this was
C:\texlive\2021\texmf-dist\tex\context\base\mkiv) and then run
context --make
to apply the updates.
If there is some other preferred way to do this,
I've avoided forcing capitalization in too many places in the SBL rendering
because there are often language-specific (or, within English, even
dialect-specific) differences regarding what should be capitalized. I think
I already enforce capitalization of the first word, though:

\stopsetups

The \fastsetup{btx:cite:entry} doesn't expand to anything if the footnote
is flushed as an endnote via \placenotes[footnote]. Does anyone have any
idea why this happens and how to fix it?
