C2PA's Conforming Products List (270 records: 240 generators, 30 validators) records which media types each product can sign, not individual signing events. By curator recount, 81 generators actually list audio container types (most often WAV 63, MPEG 57, MP4 51), 151 list video and 208 list image; 33 carry an mlModel key, 32 of them empty. Curator qualifications: Code, spec and JSON read 2026-10-22; no manifest signed or validated. Trust List contents reviewed in CA-B501. Limitations: Code, spec and JSON read 2026-10-22; no manifest signed or validated. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
