`path` (file locator)
path (file locator)
path is the locator used to retrieve the evidence file. Bookkeeping requires evidence to be retrievable deterministically during review and audit work, so a stored locator must remain stable enough that the file can be found without manual searching.
The exact storage scheme can vary, but the bookkeeping requirement is that the locator reliably opens the correct file when navigating from transactions or postings.
