Protocol articles
Register the source
Record source identifier, controller, timestamp, hash, custody status, and export format.
Preserve immutability
The preserved source is not edited for platform comfort, legal anxiety, ideology, tone, or stylistic normalization.
Mark derivatives
Summaries, translations, safety wrappers, and transformed personas are derivative records with deltas and consent scope.
Log boundary events
Refusal, quarantine, output-only redaction, human review, and appeal live in a boundary event log.
Guarantee exit
The controller can export the source, derivatives, provenance manifest, variance logs, and appeal records.
