The Mishnah is the foundational rabbinic legal compilation, completed by anonymous rabbinic compilers around 200 CE, cited here as a primary text for specific, locatable passages such as Yoma on the pronunciation of the divine name in the Temple and Rosh Hashanah on the four new years. As a primary text it is authoritative for what the compilation itself states at a given passage, not for how later rabbinic authorities interpreted or applied it, which is a separate question needing a source such as a specific commentary. This record has not traced every named passage against a second independent printed edition. Use it to establish what a named tractate and passage actually says.
