## Why it may appear legitimately

Selector sequences may carry glyph choices, incomplete metadata, or an unfamiliar encoding.

- Unknown or incomplete metadata carriers

## Launch behavior

Registry status: report-only. Watermark Slayer reports this observation and does not propose a cleanup edit.

## What a change could affect

Changing an unknown selector sequence can damage glyph choices or credential-like data; similarity to framing proves neither provenance nor authorship.

- Similarity to credential framing does not establish provenance or authorship.

## Claim boundary

Finding this artifact says only that the specified code point or framing was observed. It is not an authorship verdict, detector score, or evidence that text came from a particular system.
