The authors first assessed 16 deployed agent frameworks for records that an absent auditor could independently verify.

The authors show that harness-written traces can identify faults but cannot reliably prove execution history without an independently maintained log.

In one line
Agent harness records are not independently auditable; an external append-only witness with bidirectional reconciliation detects omissions and fabrications that self-authenticated logs miss.
