Which layer of the seed-precedence chain seeded a run's browser (provenance).

Resolved once at run setup, before any browser creation, for all run types (C-semantics).

  • picked: the workflow's explicit profile pick (workflows.browser_profile_id) — "always start here"
  • own_memory: the workflow's own auto-profile (no pick + persist_browser_session)
  • credential: the run's selected credential's profile (rotation-aware; also the empty-own boot)
  • fresh: no seed profile
  • degraded_fresh: a resolved profile failed to load; ran fresh
