//! The circumstances of a write: who, when, where they were standing, and
//! what they were looking at. Rationale:
//! `docs/single-author-playbook.md` (the `author` identity and the hash
//! chain) and `docs/log-vs-snapshot.md` §10.1 (the camera).
//!
//! These are the fields a [`manifest`](super::manifest) row is made of,
//! kept apart from the row itself because the editor builds them at seal
//! and the store writes them: an [`Attribution`] crosses that seam.
//!
//! Target-independent on purpose: the browser reads and writes the same
//! rows, where the container is origin storage rather than a directory.
