-Reproducibility: Each ingestion run generates a manifest file containing:
-
-- Source hashes (MD5/SHA256 of evidence)
-- Model versions (embedding model, LLM)
-- Configuration parameters
-- Processing statistics
-- Timestamp and operator ID
-
-This manifest allows exact reproduction of the index from the same source data.
