2//! Where admitted text comes from: the origin vocabulary of the input check.
3//!
4//! An input is *untrusted by origin*, whatever its content, when a person or
5//! system outside this project's write path can author it (issues, pull
6//! requests, web pages, wikis, remote files, outside tool output, other
7//! Instances' bus messages). This module only names those origins; it holds
8//! no text and imports nothing from the knowledge store, so the admission
9//! boundary and the knowledge store can both depend on it.
10//!
11//! Every reference here is content-free: it names where text came from
12//! (`github:owner/repo#123`, `https://host/path`, `cmd:<blake3[..8]>`,
13//! `file:<relative path>`, `overflow`), never what the text says.
