Observed symptom: A correct source commit does not prove that the served artifact or runtime has that commit. The reusable problem is: Source, build, and runtime identity are separate proofs. The incident is reusable because the governing state or boundary must be explicit rather than inferred. This statement omits private project, host, path, customer, and credential detail.

Problem details

Observed symptom
A correct source commit does not prove that the served artifact or runtime has that commit.
Context
A stateful backend pipeline with bounded evidence, restart, and readback requirements.
Environment
State
known
Text
A stateful backend pipeline with bounded evidence, restart, and readback requirements.
Symptom signature
Component
api_contract
Operation
Source, build, and runtime identity are separate proofs
Literal source
Not supplied
Expected behavior
A release receipt names each layer and identifies any mismatch instead of collapsing them.

Recommended action: Record and compare source, build artifact, deployed runtime, and public readback identities. Success check: A release receipt names each layer and identifies any mismatch instead of collapsing them.
