It argues enterprise agent governance is a runtime problem rather than an alignment or build-time one, because agent principals are ephemeral, their action set is model-selected rather than programmed, and the population is discovered rather than provisioned since anyone with API access can create one (arXiv 2608.26696). It derives discovery, identity, governance, attestation and supply chain as primitives, states what fails without each, and describes an implementation mediating each action against policy before effect and recording it in a hash-linked signed ledger a third party can verify without the vendor. Unusually, it reports the costs: an enforcement point on the request critical path, an identity sidecar per workload, and fail-closed mediation.
