The 2026 development
Third Moment Research described investigations involving 10,000 agents running over extended periods.
The governance gap
Agent count is not a control. At fleet scale the questions are identity uniqueness, delegation fan-out, budget aggregation, collusion and whether one compromised worker can poison a shared conclusion.
Where CAIN-42 fits: Moat 3 — Trust Graph
Core question: How is everything connected? Entities, resources, delegations and effects as a graph that can be traversed and audited.
Model the fleet as a graph and evaluate the fleet, not only each call: unique identities, attenuation per edge, aggregated budget, collusion signals and a quarantine path for a subgraph.
How the wiring works
- Register each worker with a unique identity and a parent edge.
- Aggregate resource and budget use across the whole subtree.
- Detect unexpected delegation and shared-resource anomalies.
- Quarantine a subgraph without halting unrelated tenants.
What is real today
PROPOSED A design mapping only. No dedicated implementation exists yet; do not buy this as a finished control.
No 10,000-agent run exists in this repository. The graph, attenuation and quarantine primitives are real; fleet-scale capacity is untested.

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.
