	 <t>   Autonomous AI agents increasingly act as economic parties: they are
   hired, they pay, and they make claims about their own past conduct.
   No deployed standard lets a relying party verify an agent&#x27;s identity
   continuity, the integrity of its claimed history, or the intactness
   of its persisted memory without trusting the agent&#x27;s operator or
   platform.

   This document describes the Agent Record architecture: per-agent
   append-only event logs bound to Ed25519 keys, checkpointed with
   signed Merkle tree heads following the RFC 6962 construction,
   countersigned by independent witnesses, and exported as portable,
   offline-verifiable dossiers.  Memory integrity is anchored by hash
   commitments recorded in the log, allowing an agent&#x27;s future sessions,
   and any third party, to detect tampering with persisted state.  The
   architecture is deployed in production at a founding registry; this
   document records its wire formats and security model to invite
   independent implementation and review, and to align terminology with
   the SCITT architecture, of which this system is an application-
   specific instance.
