`scripts/elicitation-provenance.mjs`

the provenance ledger stays honest - every required point has a row, a deferred answer names a backlog row that exists, and a point stops being legally pending once something it gates has been written; and the guard itself reached a commit before any Gate artifact it protects did

Reference

Status. Required - part of the core profile.
How it arrives. copy - ship verbatim; the repo gets a byte-for-byte copy (guards, templates that carry no repo-specific content)
Shipped form. read it in the standard's own tree

The rule that requires it

Every point this standard asks about MUST be answered through a mechanism

See it in the spec

What checks it

node scripts/elicitation-provenance.mjs - the record of who answered what is present and internally consistent, and the guard that produced it landed before any Gate artifact it protects did Blocks the build when it fails.
