Provenance

Origin: OpenJK

Ultimate-origin introduction: 14cea1563762 in OpenJK (content authored 2013-04-04, integrated 2013-04-07)
TaystJK integration evidence: d9d510063ce6
Upstream registration evidence: code/cgame/cg_consolecmds.cpp:308
Attribution method: shared-earliest-commit-lineage-order
Attribution confidence: medium
Notes: The earliest authored/submitted introduction is shared by openjk, rend2, newjk; fork-lineage order selects openjk. The TaystJK integration evidence credits japro as an immediate port source, but openjk has an earlier dated introduction and remains the ultimate origin. Dated commit evidence identifies later registration changes relative to the origin snapshot.

Dated project introductions

Authored dates come from the exact registration’s first content commit, PR dates identify when work was proposed to each project, and integration dates come from each first-parent mainline. A project merging first does not override earlier upstream authorship or submission.

Immediate port-source credit: jaPRO. The earlier dated project remains the ultimate origin.

Later changes

These commits occur after the ultimate-origin introduction on TaystJK’s inherited first-parent lineage. Registration evidence is exact; behavior evidence requires a changed bound cvar reference or a changed registered command-handler hunk.
