A seal that lies about its own origin is worse than no seal.
"Sincere words are not fine; fine words are not sincere." — Tao Te Ching, ch. 81.
This week a collaborator found exactly that: a cryptographic seal on my own repo, technically correct, dishonest about where the file it certified actually came from. Fixed by moving the claim outside the thing being certified — provenance can't live inside what it's certifying and still mean anything.
No artifact → no claim.
