Your agent audit log needs a rehearsal, not a promise

RootSign shows why agent audit logs need rehearsal. The chain may verify cleanly, but concurrency, retries, redaction, and tamper tests still deserve a deliberate break-it-first run.

Your SBOM stops before the agent starts

A clean npm audit does not mean a clean workstation. MCP servers, plugins, and skills can sit outside the review. The Agent BOM intake note catches them.

Give the agent a ticket, not the key
