Module 004 — Attestation boundary

What can enclave attestation prove about a file's life before the enclave first touched it?

The standing conjecture: nothing, by itself. Attestation can bind what happens from the first attested operation onward; everything earlier lies outside the provenance claim unless independently established. The boundary — not the pipeline — is the research object.

A public artifact whose provenance claims are stated together with the attestation horizon that limits them — released only when it can stand behind itself.
