Direct answer
Compiler Provenance, in this protocol, is limited to the following inspected scope. Build provenance can identify the builder, build process, external parameters, dependencies, environment details, and produced subject. The local witness records digest-bound inputs, outputs, environment, seeds, adapter identity, and claim or dossier bindings for offline verification. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Protocol
Present steps in order with required inputs, outputs, stop conditions, and a rollback or correction path.
A protocol is reproducible only to the extent that its inputs, versions, assumptions, and decision rules are fixed.
Applied scope: Build provenance can identify the builder, build process, external parameters, dependencies, environment details, and produced subject. The local witness records digest-bound inputs, outputs, environment, seeds, adapter identity, and claim or dossier bindings for offline verification.
Definition and operating context
The canonical concept owner is maha-research. This route may apply evidence; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
This property may publish research objects, machine-readable provenance, reproduction protocols. It must not publish sales copy or unsupported interpretation.
Evidence and exact locators
SLSA Build Track: Build Provenance — BuildDefinition; RunDetails; builder identity; external parameters; resolved dependencies. Establishes: Build provenance can identify the builder, build process, external parameters, dependencies, environment details, and produced subject.
Maha computational provenance witness — Receipt contents; adapters; verification; current assurance limits. Establishes: The local witness records digest-bound inputs, outputs, environment, seeds, adapter identity, and claim or dossier bindings for offline verification.
What the evidence does not establish
A provenance statement does not by itself prove source correctness, compiler correctness, reproducibility, absence of compromise, or semantic equivalence of outputs.
A recorded receipt is evidence of declared metadata and digest integrity, not independent reproduction, compiler correctness, scientific validity, or Production use.
This route must not claim sales copy.
This route must not claim unsupported interpretation.

Questions this page can answer
What does Compiler Provenance mean in this bounded context?
Compiler Provenance, in this protocol, is limited to the following inspected scope. Build provenance can identify the builder, build process, external parameters, dependencies, environment details, and produced subject. The local witness records digest-bound inputs, outputs, environment, seeds, adapter identity, and claim or dossier bindings for offline verification. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Which inspected sources support this protocol answer?
SLSA Build Track: Build Provenance (specification version 1.2), at BuildDefinition; RunDetails; builder identity; external parameters; resolved dependencies, supports build provenance can identify the builder, build process, external parameters, dependencies, environment details, and produced subject. Maha computational provenance witness (repository source inspected 2026-09-06), at Receipt contents; adapters; verification; current assurance limits, supports the local witness records digest-bound inputs, outputs, environment, seeds, adapter identity, and claim or dossier bindings for offline verification.
What does the evidence not establish?
A provenance statement does not by itself prove source correctness, compiler correctness, reproducibility, absence of compromise, or semantic equivalence of outputs. A recorded receipt is evidence of declared metadata and digest integrity, not independent reproduction, compiler correctness, scientific validity, or Production use. Property boundary: This route may apply evidence; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
Which definition or canonical owner must be read first?
This page is the local maha-research definition for its topic. Related applications may depend on it but may not silently redefine it.
What source, policy, implementation, or release change would require revision?
Re-evaluate this page when a cited source, locator, governing instrument, local implementation, or canonical definition changes. Publication also requires a matching exact-revision review and active canonical release.
