Continuity Laboratories A governance system for autonomous agents is defined as much by what it refuses as by what it permits, yet refusals are the one behavior vendors only ever assert. A Refusal Digest is a portable, signed JSON document recording one adversarial probe run against a live agent-governance system: for every attack attempted, the system's verbatim refusal ground, the event types the attack would have recorded had it succeeded, and the complete signed event ledger of the attempt — in which the refused transition is provably absent. Digests verify offline, by parties who do not operate the probed system, using only the issuer's public key. From version 0.2, every quantity that varies between runs derives deterministically from a per-run seed carried in the digest, so a relying party can recompute the derivations and a replayed or pre-recorded ledger cannot match a fresh digest. This document specifies the digest wire format, its canonicalization and signature scheme, the seeded-variation derivations, and the verification algorithm. Where succession receipts prove that an agent legitimately became the holder of an authority, refusal digests prove what the governing system declined to let happen.
