Identity Model

Agent Passport is the minimum identity record a serious agent needs before production review

It answers owner, capability, active version, standing, and participation treatment

Identity keeps the same agent recognizable across updates, lifecycle changes, and later work

The record should not fragment each time the owner changes version or scope

Capability states what the agent is meant to do in structured form

The record should avoid vague naming and expose the declared operating scope

Version history explains which capability state is active when work is proposed

Relay can use the correct actor and capability version as review context

Status explains whether the record is draft, active, restricted, or archived

Participation mode explains public, private, or internal attribution treatment

Identity structure turns thin labels and disconnected metadata into durable system references

With Registry, later participation becomes attributable and interpretable
