Use these visual guides to connect the key ideas before answering the questions.

Connect the roles in Build Artifacts and ProvenanceKeep source revision, build artifact, artifact digest, and provenance record as separate service roles.
Connect the roles in Build Artifacts and ProvenanceA topic-specific model connects four distinct roles used to reason about build artifacts and provenance.
Source filesFiles identify the reviewed build input
Build packagePackage contains the deployable service output
Artifact dataData fingerprint identifies package bytes
Build recordRecord links workflow revision and artifact
Verify Promotion evidenceConnect promotion evidence with its topic-specific inspection, expected outcome, and protected delivery boundary.
