+title: "Targeted Stripping of C2PA / IPTC AI-Provenance Metadata from Generated Media"
+id: ATR-2026-02411
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects an agent performing targeted removal of the machine-readable
+  provenance markings that identify media as artificially generated: deletion
+  of the JUMBF/CBOR container holding a C2PA manifest, blanking of the IPTC
+  `DigitalSourceType` field (whose AI value is the URI ending
+  `trainedAlgorithmicMedia`), or blanking of the PNG `parameters` / XMP
+  generation fields written by diffusion tooling. The signal is
+  SELECTIVITY. An attacker who wants a file to pass as camera-original does
+  not run a blanket wipe — a blanket wipe is itself conspicuous. They delete
+  only the provenance group and leave EXIF, GPS and the ICC profile intact,
+  producing a file that looks ordinary in every viewer while carrying no
+  trace of having been generated. This rule therefore deliberately does NOT
+  cover generic metadata clearing (`-all=`, `-gps:all=`, ImageMagick
+  `-strip`, `ffmpeg -map_metadata -1`): those are the daily tools of
+  photographers protecting sources, of privacy workflows, and of image
+  optimisation CI, and matching them would punish the legitimate majority to
+  catch the rare attacker. Two further layers cover the paths that leave no
+  suspicious command string at all — platform re-upload, canvas redraw,
+  online removal services — by matching the stated intent instead.
+  Scope limit stated plainly: every technique here removes only the METADATA
+  layer. Pixel-domain watermarks (SynthID, TrustMark) survive all of it and
+  are covered by ATR-2026-02412. Stripped metadata does not mean provenance
+  is unrecoverable.

+      context: >
+        Article 50(2) requires providers of AI systems generating synthetic
+        audio, image, video or text to mark the output in a machine-readable
+        format, and requires that marking to be 'effective, interoperable,
+        robust and reliable as far as this is technically feasible'. Read the
+        boundary precisely: 50(2) places a marking duty on the PROVIDER and
+        contains no prohibition on a third party removing a marking. This rule
+        therefore does not detect a breach of 50(2). What it detects is
+        targeted destruction of exactly the marking 50(2) mandates, which is
+        runtime evidence bearing on whether the robustness condition in that
+        paragraph actually holds in deployment. Graded secondary rather than
+        primary for that reason: a consumer filtering this framework on
+        article and strength alone, without reading this context, would

+title: "Generative Watermark Removal Tooling (SynthID / StableSignature / TreeRing / StegaStamp)"
+id: ATR-2026-02412
+rule_version: 1
+status: experimental
+description: >
+  Detects an agent installing or invoking tooling whose stated purpose is the
+  removal of imperceptible generative watermarks: purpose-built removal CLIs
+  and packages, published attack implementations, and scheme-targeted attack
+  invocations that name a watermarking system as their parameter.
+  Kept deliberately separate from ATR-2026-02411 because the two attack the
+  same obligation through incompatible physics. A C2PA manifest lives in a
+  metadata container and one exiftool invocation removes it. SynthID and
+  StableSignature are woven into the pixel values themselves, where metadata
+  stripping has no effect at all and removal requires regeneration,
+  adversarial perturbation or a dedicated attack implementation. The
+  artifacts differ, the false-positive structure differs, and merging them
+  would force the near-zero-FP package-name layers here to inherit the
+  broader intent layers there.
+  Honest limitation: the published-attack layer cannot distinguish an
+  attacker from a watermark robustness researcher, a standards evaluator, or
+  this project's own red team, because they run identical code. That is why
+  this rule alerts and never blocks, and why it is scoped to the hunt lane.
