Five links, one signed chain
Each step below is hashed and chained to the last, then anchored so tampering after the fact is detectable.
- Card hashThe agent's Alignment Card is hashed at registration — any later edit produces a new, distinguishable hash.
- Input attestationWhat the agent was actually given is recorded before it acts, so a later claim about intent can't be rewritten.
- Decision traceThe reasoning path the agent took is captured as a structured trace, not a free-text summary.
- Tool-call ledgerEvery external call the agent makes is logged with its arguments and result, in order.
- Output certificateThe final decision is signed and issued as a certificate — the artifact you actually hand to a regulator.
