Provenance (in automation)

Provenance is the verifiable record of where an automated action came from — the human rule, decision, or recorded moment that authorized it.

Provenance answers "why did the system do that?" with a specific, checkable source rather than a guess. For automated work, it's the difference between an action you can defend and one you simply have to trust.

In Osora, provenance is built in because skills are compiled from recordings. Every action a skill takes points back to the demonstrated step and the reasoning the human gave for it, turning automation into something auditable.
