Cedulon Decision Profile: Reconciling an Agent's Decisions Against Its Effects (draft-dogru-cedulon-decision-profile-02)

Abstract

Internet-Draft draft-dogru-cedulon-decision-profile-02, Cedulon Decision Profile: Reconciling an Agent's Decisions Against Its Effects, as posted to the IETF Datatracker on 5 September 2026 (submission 168633), with its XML source and the Markdown it was rendered from. The profile defines a second population on the Cedulon reconciler: a Decision Record is signed by the party that decided whether an agent may act, an Effect Extract is an authenticated list of the effects that occurred on a channel, an allow must be matched by exactly one effect whose content hash the record named, and a refusal by none. The finding this profile exists for, an effect that occurred under a reference a refusal names, is effect-against-refusal. This revision states that the binding compares content and reference and not the order of two clocks, corrects the boundary sentences to two adjacent documents, records the companion implementation as published at 0.13.0, records one frozen fixture read by this implementation and by a second, independently written reader with the limits of that run, records two reproductions of the suite, and cites a measurement of the same threat on a second evidence format. Files: the plain text as posted (byte-identical to the IETF archive copy, SHA-256 0051d9924b4c4e98e6a7064df81379cde054ea64a0a743bac43cc5fec128379c), the XML source (byte-identical to the archive copy, SHA-256 3c6a87204a9565ae8c56696b82abb469de77063d97446e0663e4140a6447e586), and the Markdown source, all from commit 001ad1f of dogrucanemek-alt/cedulon, the commit that recorded the posted revision. This is an individual submission and a work in progress; the text calls its requirement language provisional.
