      <abstract>
	 <t>   An AI agent that can act without a verifiable, human-traceable
   authorization record is an agent without an owner.  Existing
   authorization credentials tell you what an agent is permitted to do;
   none of them tell you who authorized it, on which specific object,
   under which mission, or how far that authority can be delegated
   before it reaches this agent.

   This document defines the Mandate JWT (MJWT): a WIMSE workload
   credential profile that binds an AI agent&#x27;s authority to a specific
   Sovereign Object instance under a named human principal, with a
   cryptographically enforced delegation ceiling and an
   eight-dimensional Narrowing Property that prevents any sub-agent
   from exceeding the authority of the human principal at the root of
   the chain.  Version -02 adds a seventh narrowing dimension (consent
   scope), the
   consent_scope claim carrying data subject consent state for
   APPI/GDPR compliance, the sub_agent_scope claim for consent
   attenuation across delegation hops, a Purpose Code Registry, and
   HEM_CONSENT_REQUIRED integration for fail-closed consent enforcement.
   The MJWT is the authorization primitive referenced by the other
   SOOS governance drafts.

   Version -03 corrects an IANA registration issue: the two
   registries requested there are renamed to drop the redundant word
   &quot;Registry&quot; from the registry name itself, and each now includes
   the Designated Expert Guidance that a Specification Required
   registration policy requires.  No new claims, codes, or normative
   behavior are introduced in -03; this is a registration-format
   correction only.

   Version -04 addresses four findings from a WIMSE security review
   checklist dry-run against -02/-03 (DR-MJWT-KIA-CHECKLIST-01): the
   parent-mandate check at Cedar-action verification time is
   tightened from a disjunctive &quot;retrieve or verify&quot; to a mandatory
   live re-verification of the parent&#x27;s current signature and
   revocation status, closing a parent-swap-class window; the
   Revocation Registry is now stated explicitly to be the same
   Revocation Registry the KIA draft defines, and the residual
   cross-instance propagation-lag risk this implies is now named
   explicitly, mirroring how that draft discloses its own XPID
   revocation gap; and a new Security Considerations entry states
   plainly that MJWT does not itself establish or verify a
   human_principal_id&#x27;s root authority.

   Version -05 closes gaps surfaced by a WIMSE-style security review
   pass against -04&#x27;s own text: an eighth Narrowing Property
   dimension, max_delegation_depth, closes an unbounded-delegation-
   depth Denial of Service vector that -04&#x27;s own text named but did
   not bound; the consent_reference staleness defense is upgraded
   from a SHOULD-level recommendation to a MUST, extending the same
   live-re-verification discipline already applied to parent
   mandates; and the Introduction&#x27;s description of RFC 8693
   inheritance is corrected to no longer claim use of the optional
   may_act claim, which this document does not in fact use.  This
   revision also carries minor idnits and citation-hygiene fixes.

   Version -06 is an editorial revision with no normative content
   changes: six sibling-draft citations (HEM, CAP, KIA, MAD, AEP,
   IDP) had gone stale against those drafts&#x27; current live versions
   and are updated to draft-sato-soos-hem-07, draft-sato-soos-cap-06,
   draft-sato-soos-kia-06, draft-sato-soos-mad-04,
   draft-sato-soos-aep-04, and draft-sato-soos-idp-06 respectively.
