Description
Nsources for sky-based calibration is a useful concept but doesn’t really capture everything we want. We should make sure that this and several other sky-optional parameters really capture the full-provenance of a calibration.

Research direction
Start by reviewing UVCal's sky-based calibration metadata, especially Nsources and the other sky-optional parameters mentioned in the issue. Determine what full calibration provenance must capture and how the related metadata should consistently represent it; done means the provenance requirements and affected parameters are agreed and implemented.
