Needs review. The inventory/provenance evidence is recorded, but some behavior, options, or attribution still lacks a direct user-facing source.
Controls cl_lanForcePackets in the engine-client module. Consult the cited behavior reads before relying on values not listed here.

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.
