The Runtime Authority Problem — Authority Continuity for AI Agents
Quick answer: The runtime authority problem is the gap between T0 (when an action is approved) and T1 (when an agent executes it). In that window, budgets deplete, policy versions change, delegation chains deepen, credentials rotate, and agent capability manifests change. Authority Continuity solves it by re-evaluating those conditions inside the request path at execution time and refusing, or re-routing for approval, when they no longer hold — emitting an signed decision record as the receipt.
