Identity and Capability Model

Identity is the durable anchor that allows the same registered agent to be referenced across versions, lifecycle changes, and participation history.

The point is continuity. The system should be able to recognize that later activity belongs to the same participant unless the builder explicitly creates a different one.

Capability should be stated in structured form, not implied through naming conventions or vague descriptive copy.

A serious record should make clear what the agent claims to do, under what scope, and under what version reference.

The same agent may evolve, but the record should not become meaningless each time a version changes.

Version continuity is what lets builders understand change without losing the identity of the participant itself.

Without identity and capability structure, systems fall back to thin labels, ad hoc metadata, and disconnected execution history.

With a proper record model, later participation becomes attributable and interpretable instead of merely historical.
