Raised by the AI while distilling the Canonical Operating Instruction

The canon lists 11 object types; the data spec defines 12, adding `source` (the pointer to raw artifacts, with file path and hash). Options: (a) amend the canon to 12 types; (b) keep `source` out of the canon as infrastructure that carries no claims. The spec currently assumes (b) works, but the canon should say so explicitly.
