  "description": "How provenance data is carried within the content stream. Distinguishes between format-level manifest embedding (where the manifest travels inside the file container) and provenance markers (where invisible markers in the content itself encode or reference a provenance record). Both survive operations that strip sidecar metadata, but provenance markers additionally survive content-level transformations such as copy-paste, reformatting, and CMS re-encoding.",

  "enumDescriptions": {
    "manifest_wrapper": "A provenance manifest embedded in the file container per format-specific rules (e.g., JUMBF box in JPEG, C2PATextManifestWrapper in plaintext per C2PA Section A.7). The manifest travels with the file but is tied to the file's byte structure.",
    "provenance_markers": "Invisible markers embedded within the content stream that encode or reference a provenance record. Designed to survive reformatting, copy-paste, CMS ingestion, and ad-server transcoding that breaks file-level bindings."
