The term "realisation" is ambiguous

[fricklerhandwerk]

Problem

Historically, that term was "realise" or the process of "realisation". @edolstra noted that "realisation" is overloaded, as it is used in the context of content-addressed derivations to denote what according to @thufschmitt we could rather call "realisation witness": a triplet (derivation hash, store path, output name).

Proposal

realisation -> realisation witness

Although that is a clumsy name, maybe someone can come up with something more snappy.

Fits right into one's SBOM lingo.
