Capture typed execution provenance so any output is replayable.
Story
A June survey on agent trust (arXiv:2606.04990) defines "execution provenance" as the complete typed representation of an agent run, evidence units plus execution units, and "evidence tracing" as the projection onto which evidence influenced each output. This gives a vocabulary for building agents whose conclusions trace back to specific retrieved evidence and tool calls. Log each step as a typed evidence/execution unit and any output can be replayed to the exact sources that produced it. This is the boring infrastructure that makes the human-on-the-bridge evaluation posture actually work, you can't supervise steering points without provenance underneath.
