I've been racing gravel and CX on my 2022 LIV Brava Advanced Pro. Saw this today on the fork near the top. Looks like mud or a rock or something massively rubbed or jammed against it as I'm riding specific tyres that have a ton of clearance. It seems to be scratched down to the black but I don't see any fibres, it's also not weak when I press or try to bend the forks in. https://imgur.com/a/rBaNdCc

Looks like something rubbed the paint off, I don’t see anything that would convince me that the fork is damaged. As always, have it looked at by a pro if you’re not certain.
Rule #4.
It looks fine to me, but looks aren’t feels. Are some random opinions on the internet going to make you feel reassured? If not, take it to a shop.
That looks well-loved to me. I think you’re good. Maybe apply some clear nail polish over the area to seal it.
