Artwork records — the source, not the photo

One folder per printed thing (cards, labels, packaging, stickers, booth). Each holds the editable source when it is small enough for git (SVG, PDF with outlines, .afpub under a few MB) or a pointer to it in precious/EmbeddedEra/, plus a record.yml that says how it was made and bought, so the next order is a re-order and a change is an edit. This is the "Artwork" row of the source-of-record table in SOP-017 Task Register, Closing.

record.yml fields (all present, null when unknown — unknown is honest, missing is not):
