Does this count as Production Use?

Yes. Listing the Work by name on a multi-provider platform where the customer controls its lifecycle. Section 1.9 covers internal operation at operating scope and systems made available externally to customers or the public.

What this situation gets wrong most often.

  • Attribution lives in the package manifest under ORA 8.1, not only in documentation, because an agent package is installed by a machine that never reads a directory listing.
