Abstract:

   This memo specifies the briefing-and-binding envelope: a delivery
   contract for the wire-level structure by which an artificial-
   intelligence agent surfaces a consequential decision to the human
   principal it acts for, and by which the principal commits, declines,
   amends, or rejects that decision.  The envelope carries eight named
   slots (a synopsis, findings, recommendations, an offer of detail, a
   question stem, a set of options each marked with its own reasoning, a
   single recommended option, and a pair of escape hatches) and is
   emitted as a structured field of a Model Context Protocol [MCP] tool
   result.  The contribution is the delivery contract itself: a single
   renderer-agnostic envelope so that the briefing an agent delivers and
   the binding a principal commits back have one machine-checkable shape
   across every consuming surface.  The central element is the dual-veto
   handshake: one escape hatch lets the principal revise the answer
   space while accepting the question; the other lets the principal
   reject the question itself and reopen deliberation.  Either party may
   veto.  The memo defines a content digest over the envelope,
   canonicalized under JCS and hashed with SHA-256, so that a resolution
   names the exact envelope it resolves and an external receipt can
   reference that envelope by digest.  The memo is Informational.  No
   new transport is introduced; the envelope composes with the handle
   namespace of [IDPRONOUNS] and the MCP tool surface of [POLICYPROV].
