Local ingestion cannot claim provider execution

Error message

Local ingestion cannot claim provider execution

What it means

validate_assets requires the receipt field provider_execution to be exactly the boolean False (checked with 'is not False', which also rejects strings like "false" and truthy values). Since this module never executes providers, a receipt claiming provider execution is inconsistent with the local-only contract and is rejected.

Solutions

1. Regenerate the receipt with ingest_assets, which writes provider_execution: false.
2. If editing JSON, set the field to the JSON boolean false (not "false" or 0).
3. Validate receipt shape before calling: receipt.get('provider_execution') is False.
4. Separate provider-executing artifacts from this local-only validation flow entirely.

Example fix

# before
{"provider_execution": "false"}
# after
{"provider_execution": false}

r = json.load(open(p))
assert r.get('provider_execution') is False, 'provider_execution must be boolean false'

def no_provider_execution(obj) -> bool:
    return obj.get('provider_execution') is False

When it happens

Trigger: Calling validate_assets on a receipt where provider_execution is missing, true, "false", null, or 0; hand-edited receipts; receipts produced by external tooling with a different convention (e.g. string flags).

Common situations: Custom pipelines serializing booleans as strings; hand-written receipts; combining records from a provider-backed system into a local receipt template.

Understand the failure class

Background: Schema validation failed / invalid input schema: payload rejected because its shape doesn't match the expected schema — this error's family across 28 libraries.
