Evidence
The table separates the source capture from the latest supporting re-check in each immutable evidence stream. Document sha256 values fingerprint retained decoded bodies; interface-run digests fingerprint reviewed, redacted artifacts. A digest detects change but does not itself timestamp the bytes.
