      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document defines JAC v0.5, a minimal declared-dependency chain
   infrastructure for agent and AI-agent receipt systems. JAC is a
   profile over the Judgment Event Protocol (JEP) and, when AI-agent
   behavior receipts are used, over HJS. JAC does not define an
   independent event format, signature syntax, hash format, replay
   mechanism, identity framework, or governance framework.
   JAC uses JEP extension fields to bind a signed event or receipt
   element to a declared parent dependency. The core is intentionally
   small: a single chain extension records a declared dependency link.
   Optional extensions can record state declarations, assignment
   references, handoff references, result references, capability claims,
   input/output references, and declared chain breaks.
   JAC provides infrastructure only. It records signed dependency
   declarations; it does not determine factual causality,
   responsibility, fault, authorization validity, assignment validity,
   handoff validity, task correctness, fairness, entitlement, legal
   effect, or regulatory compliance.
