Description
Require nonempty repository, collection, and item and serialize them as an ordered JSON tuple token.
Source-scoped cultural and historical records preserve an edition, naming convention, or local identifier. Literal agreement is useful bookkeeping but does not establish interpretation, authenticity, or authority.
Require nonempty repository, collection, and item and serialize them as an ordered JSON tuple token.

}Limitations and assumptions
- This scopes an archival reference without authenticating a record, resolving aliases, or granting access rights.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
