`PROVIDER_PROOF_FORBIDDEN`

HTTP 400

Something about the request must change

Provider proof fields were supplied where the flow forbids them.

How to fix it (contract guidance)

Let the server gather provider proof; do not submit it yourself.

Observed recovery

Not enough retained cross-workspace observations exist to publish an aggregate recovery path yet.

Publication requires at least 3 distinct workspaces. This is withheld data, not evidence that no recovery happened.
