`PROVIDER_PROOF_REQUIRED`

HTTP 503

The deployment is unable to serve this right now

The project requires provider proof but none could be produced.

How to fix it (contract guidance)

Ensure the provider integration is configured; the accept fails closed until then.

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.
