+## Required Provenance Work
+
+- Identify upstream source, if any.
+- Preserve third-party license and notice files.
+- Record copied code, generated files, and binary artifacts separately.
+- Record build toolchain, source commit, and checksums for release assets.
+- Resolve `LICENSE_STATUS.md` before adding a final `LICENSE`.
+
+## Unknowns
+
+- No provenance unknowns were inferred from inspected evidence.
