The C2PA Rust SDK does not yet name the C2PA 2.4 additions. At its v0.91.4 release tag (2026-10-19) and at main (head 2026-10-16), labels.rs has no constants for c2pa.ai-disclosure, c2pa.environmental-sustainability, c2pa.repository-receipt or c2pa.alternative-content-representation, all defined in the 2.4 spec. A missing constant doesn't prove such assertions can't be written: custom labels pass through as JSON.
