# Freeze controlled SBOM source references across retries

## Carry the immutable source reference

```task
id: ACTIVITY-WP-0034-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "8d9818f3-c995-5352-8116-f5d4f1ba488b"
```

Validate and retain Nexus's `forgejo-archive-v1` source reference in the
ranked selection, send it on ingest, reuse it with the existing stable
operation key, and report additive source failure outcomes without selecting a
replacement target.

Completed in the resolver/apply adapter and daily definition with focused
tests for normalization, POST payload, retry identity, and terminal reasons.

## Promote after the Nexus dark canary

```task
id: ACTIVITY-WP-0034-T02
status: wait
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "036de401-18de-5a94-8f0d-18d60b64c56a"
```

After `SBOM-WP-0003` and `RAPP-SBOM-NEXUS-WP-0002` migrate and pass the
attended one-repository canary, project this revision to Railiance, sync the
existing schedule without widening its limit, and capture the first normal
scheduled controlled-source result.
