Overview

The Metadatastician provides a practical metadata operations layer for creative and technical teams that need:

• consistent metadata policy

• auditable provenance trails

• grounded documentation claims

• release-time evidence checks

Estate Relevance

This repository is aligned to current estate anchors:

• cc-studio.dev is defined in ../cloudflare-dns-terraform/domains.csv.

• metadatastician.art and metadatastician.net are defined in ../cloudflare-dns-terraform/domains.csv.

• documentation claim-grounding is performed with the shared ../invariant-path toolchain.

Capabilities

• Metadata policy definitions and review workflows

• Provenance and evidence mapping for release artifacts

• Documentation integrity checks (claim-path + doc-claims)

• Lightweight governance model suitable for enterprise collaboration
