The 2026 development
Adobe expanded Creative Agent across Creative Cloud and Firefly.
The governance gap
A sequence of creative operations can drift from the brief one reasonable step at a time. The final artifact may be internally consistent and still not be what was authorised.
Where CAIN-42 fits: Moat 4 — Execution Provenance & Attestation
Core question: Can we prove what actually happened? Hash-chained, signed records binding decision to execution to observable effect.
Bind the brief, the plan and the final artifact, and check each step against the intent. A step may be locally reasonable and still violate the global intent.
How the wiring works
- Record the brief and the approved plan as the intent baseline.
- Check each step for drift from the plan and the brief.
- Require review at declared checkpoints.
- Bind the final artifact to the approved plan.
What is real today
LIBRARY Production code and tests exist in this repository; there is no hosted route for this exact use.
Chain and provenance primitives exist. No Adobe or Firefly integration exists.
| Component in this repository | What the module says it is |
|---|---|
cain/execution_chain/chain.py | Canonical, versioned execution-chain manifest (Evolution 10, Phase 3). |
cain/causality/graph.py | CAIN CAUSALITY — Causal Event Graph (Prompt CAUSALITY, Phase 3). |
cain/worm_export.py | CAIN Trust Fabric - tamper-evident WORM Causal Evidence Fabric (Phase 4) |
Descriptions are the first line of each module's own docstring, read without importing it. A module path is a pointer into this repository, not a hosted endpoint. Its existence is checked by the test suite; its status for this use is the label above.
