Minimized agent-work event contract

AWI-01 defines one closed, authority-free record for future process and knowledge analysis. It classifies every retained field, binds source and evidence digests, requires a finite consent purpose and retention window, and models deletion as a payload-free tombstone.

This increment does not collect an event. It adds no collector, telemetry, network route, background worker, training input, dashboard, production ingestion or runtime activation.

Minimized record

The record retains only:

• a pseudonymous record, actor and harness identity;
• a closed source kind, public/private classification and SHA-256 digest;
• a closed event kind, outcome, fixed reason codes and evidence digests;
• consent basis, status, finite purposes, grant/expiry and proof digest;
• owner-only or public-synthetic readback classification;
• finite retention policy plus deletion request, deadline and completion; and
• the exact claim boundary and canonical record digest.

Raw prompts, responses, messages, commands, content, paths, host/network identifiers, tenant/user/session/job identifiers, credentials, secrets and tokens are prohibited. Unknown fields fail closed as well.

Consent, retention and deletion

PUBLIC_SYNTHETIC requires a SYNTHETIC_FIXTURE source, synthetic-fixture consent, the PUBLIC_REPRODUCIBILITY purpose and PUBLIC_SYNTHETIC readback. All other combinations deny public readback.

Retention is capped at 24 hours, 30 days or 90 days by the selected policy and cannot extend beyond consent expiry. A withdrawn consent, expired retention or explicit deletion request produces DELETE_REQUIRED; it does not perform the deletion. A completed deletion has payload: null and a bounded tombstone. Readback of that deleted record is denied.

The focused suite proves the closed schema, 29 field classifications, 100 canonical object-key reorderings, all 16 prohibited-field denials, 11 named cross-contract negatives, seven retention/deletion/readback cases and zero seeded disclosure bytes in the public decision projection.

Claim boundary: DECLARATIVE_AGENT_WORK_EVENT_CONTRACT_ONLY_NO_COLLECTION_NO_TELEMETRY_NO_TRAINING_NO_PRODUCTION_INGESTION.
