This enumeration classifies how a graph edge was learned or justified. Variants describe the evidence source or acquisition method, not the graph relationship itself. This keeps evidence orthogonal to GraphEdgeKind, and allows a single edge to carry several signals, for example an authored declaration that was also resolved to a concrete local file.

Use Observed narrowly for direct inspection of existing state, such as a filesystem entry or runtime access. Use StaticAnalysis for relationships found by parsing or scanning source/configuration text without executing it.

Members

The GraphEvidenceKind type has these members:

Member	Description
`Declared`	Evidence from an explicit authored or schema field declaration, such as a link target, citation target, include source, or media URL.
`Resolved`	Evidence from deterministically resolving a declared locator to a concrete graph node.
`Observed`	Evidence from direct inspection of existing local state or runtime behavior, such as filesystem entries, symlink targets, or runtime reads and writes.
`Computed`	Evidence from a deterministic Stencila operation, such as walking document structure, decoding a file, or materializing recorded execution outputs.
`Recorded`	Evidence from persisted Stencila metadata already recorded on a node, such as execution dependencies, execution digests, or execution status.
`StaticAnalysis`	Evidence from analyzing code, configuration, or environment files without executing them, preferably with a source location when available.
`Imported`	Evidence imported from an external metadata source, service, graph, or document format.
`UserAssertion`	Evidence explicitly asserted by a user.
`Attested`	Evidence from a signed, cryptographic, or otherwise verifiable attestation such as a content credential.
`Inferred`	Evidence from a heuristic or probabilistic inference that has not been directly resolved, observed, or attested.
