Agents Sign Every Consequential Action

Projection: every consequential agent action will carry a signed record of model version, governing policy, user authority, evidence, and result. Selective disclosure protects sensitive context; independent replay supports accountability. The purpose is simple: prevent an organization from blaming an uninspectable agent for a failure its own controls made possible.

C2PA demonstrates interoperable signed manifests; the agent index finds gaps in deployed-agent transparency and third-party evaluation.
