Unified Lineage System: Tracking Data Provenance at Scale

Summary: ULS is an end-to-end lineage aggregator tracking data flows across heterogeneous assets with a general cross-asset model. It stitches traces, enables multi-granularity navigation, and offers tunable precision/recall, scaling to billions of nodes/edges in Meta for 100+ use cases including privacy.
