Capture platform-rule provenance

Record the official local-currency, gross-order fee, payment-capture, refund, payout-currency, and duties pages with review dates and the seller policy version that adopted them.

A link alone is not provenance. Preserve the relevant rule, market, applicable date, owner, reviewer, prior accepted packet, and reason a later source version changed the model.

Keep private event evidence outside public pages

The public guide can show invented amounts and aggregate definitions. Actual order, customer, payment, payout, bank, customs, and tax records remain in approved private systems.

A reviewer can record a redacted evidence reference and aggregate accepted value without copying identifiers, emails, addresses, transaction details, credentials, or raw exports into the site repository.
