Generated values come from generators

Hashes, pins, fingerprints, inventories, baselines and manifests are never edited by hand: cd engine && node src/cli.ts harness sync [--with-bundle] and the registered generators produce them. A generated value no generator owns is a tooling gap: it is registered with a generator, so harness sync regenerates it and harness check detects its drift.

Enforcement. The commit hook runs harness check when an engine file is staged, and the CI job “Generated values and harness check” (.github/workflows/ci.yml, job generated) runs harness sync --with-bundle on every pull request, merge group and main push. It fails when the generators change any file, tracked or untracked, or when the check fails. Once the job lands, it is added to the main ruleset’s required checks, so a stale value cannot land.
