Provenance

Origin: Base Jedi Academy

Baseline evidence: 14cea1563762
Upstream registration evidence: codemp/qcommon/files.cpp:2961
Attribution method: present-in-openjk-initial-source-import
Attribution confidence: high
Notes: Identifier is present in OpenJK’s initial Raven source-import snapshot. Dated commit evidence identifies later registration changes relative to the origin snapshot.

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.

Date	Change source	Commit / subject	Evidence	Confidence
`2013-05-11`	OpenJK	`f203e799b14c` Merge branch ‘master’ of https://github.com/Razish/OpenJK into modrender-port	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating; and an exact bound cvar-variable reference. `codemp/qcommon/files.cpp`, `codemp/qcommon/files_pc.cpp`	`high`

`2015-01-23`	OpenJK	`c00c4904efbe` [SP] Refactored files code to single file. Breaks compat with older jagame/jospgame modules and older renderer modules for SP/JKS2SP.	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `code/qcommon/files.cpp`	`medium`
`2015-11-24`	EternalJK	`c8f6ea17a324` Remove SP code	Changed registration, default, flags, module, renderer scope, handler, or gating. `code/qcommon/files.cpp`	`medium`
