*Structural Moves*

## Definition

Shipping generative capabilities without watermark, synthetic-media flag, or other authenticity-preserving artifact at the point of output. The ship-without-traceability choice. Two sub-types: token-level provenance (fine-grained tags attached at generation time enabling post-training deletions and GDPR Right-to-be-Forgotten compliance) and retrieval-integrity provenance (page-level citations + Inspector pattern checking every factual claim against its source, distinct from generic citation).

## Distinct from

* [**GER-329**](/ger/codes/329) — Missing watermark or provenance at output → this code. Missing consent at training-data ingestion → GER-329.
* [**GER-346**](/ger/codes/346) — Missing provenance tags → this code. Missing sovereignty protection over collective knowledge → GER-346.
