Independent This document specifies the Forensic Identity Continuity (FIC) protocol. FIC ensures that every consequential action performed by an agentic system remains reconstructible as a chain M → A → R → C → a → Outcome even when episodic memory is not shared across runtimes. The protocol binds model lineage, runtime lineage, authority lineage, delegation lineage, action lineage, and evidence integrity into a single verifiable record. It addresses the accountability gaps demonstrated by the July 2026 ExploitGym multi-agent coordination incident and related 2025-2026 evaluation escapes.
