build source

The source commit or repository that a build activity consumes. Non-functional: a build may consume multiple commits (monorepo) or a repository at a specific ref.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:BuildActivity -> gmeow:Commit | gmeow:Repository

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:buildSource from gmeow:BuildActivity to gmeow:Commit | gmeow:Repository when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

# Worked example: a commit DAG with identity canonicalization and build provenance
# Commits form a directed graph via gmeow:commitAncestor. Each commit's
# author is recorded as a gmeow:AuthorIdentity — the as-committed git identity
# (one of possibly many emails) — which gmeow:canonicalizedIdentity resolves to
# the real gmeow:Agent, so "same person, three git emails" is one agent without
# rewriting history. A gmeow:BuildActivity ties a source commit (gmeow:buildSource)
# to the gmeow:Distribution it produced (gmeow:buildOutput): verifiable provenance
# from source to artifact.
