      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document specifies the AGTP identifier chain: a layered model of
   identifiers that together produce a tamper-evident chain of custody
   across every action an AGTP agent takes.  The chain is composed of
   identifiers already established in the AGTP draft family (Agent-ID,
   Owner-ID, Session-ID, Task-ID, and the Attribution-Record envelope of
   base AGTP) together with a small set of additional identifiers
   introduced by this document (Request-ID, Response-ID, Action-ID,
   Evaluation-ID, Decision-ID, Audit-ID).  The Audit-ID is the
   cryptographic hash of an extended Attribution-Record and provides the
   per-agent hash chain that links every action an agent takes back to
   its Agent Genesis.  This document defines the identifiers, how they
   extend the existing Attribution-Record envelope, the construction of
   the hash chain, and the verification procedure by which a regulator,
   auditor, or counterparty reconstructs the chain end to end.  The
   identifier chain is the regulatory backbone of AGTP.  Without it, the
   protocol can record that something happened but cannot prove who
   caused it, what authorized it, or what was decided.
