Production answer · source notes
Why keep a source note behind each object label?
A concise internal source note helps a reviewer return to the human-supplied basis for a date, maker, title, or interpretation. It is especially useful when a late correction arrives.
Why this matters
Source notes remain separate from guest-facing proof text. The preflight notices when one is absent but never treats its presence as proof.
A reviewable sequence
- Name the internal record, researcher, or review packet used.
- Avoid storing unnecessary sensitive personal data.
- Update the note when the public claim changes.
- Exclude internal notes from shared output unless disclosure is deliberate.
