The Fragment Governance Gap

On Signal date-stamps individual seller claims and marks them volatile or stable. Then Okta's June 23 XAA announcement changed the ground truth underneath those claims, and the article had no mechanism to signal it. The article didn't know its own fragments went stale.
Reading across four publications surfaces the same structural mismatch: Anchor manages articles, but the objects generating customer dependency are smaller than articles. Seller claims with validity windows, compliance checklists meant for extraction, clinical evidence statements whose permissible use changes by audience. The pattern points toward a product question about whether governed fragments need to become a layer Anchor manages independently of the articles that carry them.
