Abstract:

   Consequential agent actions can cross identity, transport,
   authorization, policy, and execution systems.  Each system can
   produce a valid artifact while the executor still lacks a safe rule
   for joining the artifacts to the exact effect, consuming one-time
   authority, and handling an uncertain outcome.  This document defines
   the Action Evidence Boundary (AEB), an executor-side processing model
   for that lifecycle.

   AEB requires native artifact verification, Canonical Action
   Identifier (CAID) matching, Authorization Evidence Chain (AEC)
   satisfaction, a separate local authorization decision, durable atomic
   consumption or reservation, invocation, closed effect outcomes, and
   authenticated reconciliation.  It defines no receipt or token format,
   no policy language, no universal evidence taxonomy, and no new
   registry.  Native workload credentials, message signatures, attested
   per-action tokens, permit records, authorization receipts, and status
   mechanisms retain their own semantics and verifiers.
