CAIN-42 Evolution 34 — Proof-Carrying Machine Agency

TESTED library · not hosted · not third-party reviewed.

Every consequential governed operation can carry one signed, chained governance proof that binds identity, capability, delegation, authority, policy, evidence, risk, decision, the E8 commit, enforcement, execution and outcome — and states plainly what remains UNKNOWN, UNCONTROLLED, UNVERIFIED, SIMULATED or outside the boundary.

Invariants 629/629; scenarios 2664/2664 held; mutation 12/12; tests 13 passed / 0 failed; clean-room verifier INTACT (3286/3286).
