Where in a repository's public text can I look for the origin of a specific test fixture when no README states it, and what do those places say for c2pa-rs?

Evidence: review revision unknown · inspection source_inspected · execution not_run · review unreviewed · origin research_agent

Without a fixture README, the public trail for a fixture's origin is its earliest commit, any in-code labels and project docs. For earth_apollo17.jpg the trail ends at the 'Initial public release' commit of 2022-05-23, with no origin or licence, so the trail dates a file but does not establish rights. Curator qualifications: Repository text read 2026-10-22; no fixture downloaded or reused. Commit trails for mars.webp, the Big Buck Bunny clip and sample1.* carried from producer reading. Limitations: Repository text read 2026-10-22; no fixture downloaded or reused. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
