Update from Parano1d

Ten permissions, two agents, one shared limit

If an agent has permission to start ten jobs, copying its key should not create twenty.

In my September 25 update, I promised a small application using v2 live rights. The first experiment is now documented: two clients received copies of one claim key and used a single ten-use grant across two execution gateways.

Each permitted contract call consumed the current instance and produced its successor with one fewer use. Ten calls exhausted the allowance. Both clients' eleventh-call previews failed. When they submitted conflicting uses of the same instance, one was admitted and the other was rejected.

The gateways also checked which exact grant had been enrolled. A receipt from a separately funded instance with identical initial terms was valid on-chain, but did not authorize access to the original resource.

Then I let the network advance until all ten call bodies had been pruned. A fourth node started with an empty database, synchronized to the same tip and verified every saved receipt.

This is why I built Parano1d around a present that proves its past. Each participant can establish the remaining authority through its own verifier, without replaying every previous use or accepting a hosted service's balance report.

The experiment ran on an isolated v2 network: separate node processes on one host, with deterministic clients. An injected gateway crash left one permit consumed without a completed result; nine jobs completed. The contract enforces the allowance, while the application must handle external work.

Agent Core now exposes the independent verification path to programs. A separate recording shows three Codex agents checking current rights and retained receipts through their own Core processes.
