Why this is canonical

Provenance — the documented origin and chain of custody — is the foundational data requirement for ethical cobalt sourcing. As battery supply chains face regulatory mandates and consumer scrutiny, being able to prove where cobalt came from, and how it was handled, is a commercial and compliance necessity. This string names that function precisely for one of the most scrutinized materials in the energy transition.
