Treat ingestion, chunking, embedding, and storage as governed data processing. Preserve source restrictions and lineage, control processing routes, and design revocation and recovery before expanding the RAG corpus.

Vector-database operations protect source content, vectors, metadata, releases, and history, then restore in isolation, reconcile current permissions, and reopen authorized retrieval.
