Artifacts & Provenance
Helix records a provenance trail for every artifact:
- Schema manifests define the JSON contract (kind +
spec_version). - Viz-spec JSON captures metrics about each plot plus
input_sha256. <image>.provenance.jsonpairs schema kind, viz-spec hash, and image hash.
Together these form a chain of custody you can cite in papers or audits. For implementation details see helix schema manifest, helix schema diff, and helix workflows --with-schema.
