## Provenance notes

- csrc.nist.gov SP 800-53 (CM-3 configuration-change control) is the authoritative upstream for the plan-approval-execution binding this agent implements; it is a control-design reference, not proof that any specific plan was executed as approved.

## Grounding rule

Documentation and standards describe expected behaviour and control intent. They do not prove the target's live state, that a control operated, or that a framework applies. Applicability and compliance are owner determinations; treat any such claim as `assumption` until independently observed and owner-confirmed.
