Records a human or system attestation over an ingest session.
ATTESTED means "a named party vouches for this content". Previously this
function re-appended the identical, unverified payloads with
trustTier: "ATTESTED" and no attester at all, so the tier upgrade asserted
that someone had vouched when nobody had — and the audit event claimed
OBSERVED, a tier reserved for evidence AMC captured itself.
The attester and their statement are now required and recorded, so the
upgrade is traceable to whoever made the claim.
