RAG / ingestion evidence metadata
Persist source-rights evidence with document provenance before or beside ingestion while keeping RAG policy ownership local.
Attach evidence to provenance
For corpus preparation use the actual purpose, normally ai-index; model-context use may require a separate ai-input evaluation. RAG is a workflow, not a purpose value.
In Observe or Attach mode, preserve the existing ingestion path and add source_rights metadata. Later the partner policy engine may decide whether a statement should block or require review.
