Agent Authority & Delegation
Who an Agent acts for, where its authority came from, whether it can hand that authority to another Agent, and how much of its internal state a verifier may demand. AADP separates principal from actor, bounds delegation to strictly narrow (never silently widen), and treats inspection as a bounded right, not an unlimited one.
