"evidenceStatus": "Published source-limited analytical concept supported by collaborative-writing research, authorship and provenance studies, formal-authorship guidance used as a boundary comparison, and two source-audited Hieropedia production patterns. Complete prompt, branch, editing, identity, account-control, and publication histories remain unavailable in several cases.",

"classificationRationale": "Separates setup, generation, selection, revision and publication roles; uses interaction research and contrasting documentary cases to explain why final text or agent attribution alone cannot establish contributions.",
"sourceLimitations": "The research and case records have different purposes. Descriptive mixed production does not assign formal authorship, equal contribution, personhood or responsibility, and complete production histories remain unavailable for the case examples.",
