Everything that must survive those deletions lives in a mandatory metadata jsonb written once at creation: the actor's username, the node's human-readable name (pinned to the default locale), and action-specific extras such as publish's title from/to. NodeAction.record! is the single constructor, so every entry gets the same baseline metadata without each call site re-implementing it. occurred_at is one field for live and backfilled entries alike; inferred_from distinguishes them -- nil means witnessed at the moment it happened, populated names how a backfilled entry was estimated. Instrumented so far: publish (crediting the actual publisher, threaded through from the controller -- previously nobody had the act of publishing recorded anywhere), revert's discard_autosave and destroy_draft branches, and translation destroy. publish_draft! now runs in a transaction so the promotion and its log entry land together. The remaining verbs follow once this mechanism has proven itself.
