H.11.8 Delivery Traceability

Delivery traceability composes bounded operational records; security and compliance proof belongs to H.9.5 Security Audit.

• Carry stable identities for source, review, invocation, artifact, candidate, release, promotion, and deployment.
• State which joins are required for diagnosis, release recovery, consumer support, audit, and security.
• Declare who may read records, how long they survive, and which events can be missing, delayed, sampled, or rewritten.
• Treat Git, CI, BEP/BES, provenance, registries, release systems, and deployment telemetry as bounded evidence sources.
• Test the trace by walking a running product or incident back to exact source, approvals, build context, artifacts, and promotions.
