AFA Protocol, With a Brake Pedal

Field notes

The proposed workflow inserts a policy decision between an agent’s intent and its tool call, then attaches the result to a signed event tree. Its task envelope records an owner, purpose digest, scope, time mode, action class, and parent, allowing branches to be compared for structural drift. The page names paid model use, cloud provisioning, and DNS changes as approval examples. It also distinguishes receipts from proof: records preserve sequence, but do not establish that an action was wise or accurate.
