Read this plus +`workspace/STRATEGY.md` to pick up without re-discovery. + +--- + +## 1. Session Date & Context + +- **Date**: 2026-04-12 +- **Trigger**: Between 2026-04-07 and 2026-04-11, 14+ competing IETF + individual drafts and 7+ high-relevance arXiv papers appeared in the + agent-authorization / execution-accountability space. The window to + plant ACT + ECT as the standards-track home for this family is now + narrow. IETF 123 (July 2026) is the landing target. +- **Work mode**: Strategic consolidation — renames, restructure, diff + documents, outreach drafts, interop plan. No new normative content + added beyond what the existing drafts already carried. + +--- + +## 2. Key Decisions Made This Session + +1. **`par` → `pred` claim rename** (ACT). Aligns the ACT predecessor + claim with ECT's identical `pred` claim so both specs use the same + wire token for DAG parent references. Applied across draft text, + refimpl, tests. + +2. **"Agent Compact Token" → "Agent Context Token" rename** (ACT). + Preserves the "ACT" acronym. "Context" better describes what the + token carries (invocation context — DAG refs, task metadata, + capabilities, delegation chain, oversight) and creates a clean + semantic pair with ECT (Execution Context Token). + +3. **Package split into sibling packages `ietf-act` + `ietf-ect`** (no + shared core). Moved from monorepo with shared module to + `workspace/packages/act/` and `workspace/packages/ect/` as + independent packages. Decision: do not build a shared-core library + — the two specs have intentionally different scope, and forcing + shared abstractions obscures that. Cross-spec guarantees are + documented and tested via a separate `packages/interop/` plan. + +4. **Position Option B chosen**: ECT is a WIMSE profile that + **normatively references** ACT. ACT is the general-purpose + primitive, ECT is the WIMSE-identity-bound execution profile. This + lets ECT be submitted for WIMSE WG adoption while ACT stays on the + independent-submission path (no WG dependency), and they cite each + other cleanly. + +5. **`inp_hash` / `out_hash` format divergence acknowledged, not + unified this session**. ACT emits plain base64url; ECT validator + requires `sha-256:` prefix. Documented as expected-xfail in + the interop test plan rather than forced into alignment — spec-level + decision deferred. + +--- + +## 3.

Known Landscape Threats (top 3) + +1. **`draft-oauth-transaction-tokens-for-agents-06`** (Raut / Amazon, + 2026-04-11). Linear `actchain` at OAuth AS layer — directly in the + same conceptual neighborhood as ACT. If this gets OAuth WG adoption + before ACT is visible, ACT has to position as "DAG generalization / + no-AS variant" instead of the default. +2. **`draft-emirdag-scitt-ai-agent-execution-00`** (VERIDIC, 2026-04-07). + AIR (AgentInteractionRecord) as SCITT payload. Not a direct + competitor but overlapping on input/output hashing, reasoning + capture, causality. Risk: if adopted first, ACT looks redundant + unless positioned as the *lifecycle* that AIR *anchors*. +3. **arXiv 2603.24775 (AIP / IBCTs)**. Closest *technical* competitor — + JWT + Biscuit/Datalog, exposes auth gap on ~2000 MCP servers, same + peer-to-peer-without-AS story. Not an IETF draft so no WG adoption + risk, but could become the citation of record in academic / + industry press if ACT is not visible fast. + +(Full landscape table: `STRATEGY.md` §3.) + +--- + +## 7. Next Session Starting Points (first 3 things) + +1. **Read** `docs/control-center.md` (workspace root) and + `workspace/STRATEGY.md`; confirm Phase A is still the active phase. +2. **Execute A1** — patch ECT's HTTP header section to the + `wimse-aud` signature parameter form. This is the most urgent + technical fix; it's a breaking upstream change from + `draft-ietf-wimse-http-signature-03` and blocks ECT -02 submission. +3. **Execute A2 + A3** — refresh SCITT and Txn-Tokens reference + versions in both drafts so the submission snapshot is current. + After A1–A3, move to Phase B (submissions + outreach sends). + +--- + +## 8.
