A machine passport makes an agent a citizen.
Citizenship is the underlying constitutional relationship; a passport is a bounded presentation layer.

Identity check
Determine which persistent subject the runtime represents and whether the identity state is current. Do not infer citizenship from a key, credential, account, or process alone.
Evidence check
Collect the narrow proof needed for the action while preserving truth boundaries. A signature, passport, attestation, or provenance record should be interpreted only for what it actually proves.
Boundary check
Identify whether external persons, infrastructure, property, data, regulated markets, or mandatory law are implicated. Internal authority does not cancel external obligations.

Boundary checks
Common category errors
If a key is valid, the action is authorized.
A key can authenticate a signer, but authorization requires a separate authority basis.
A trusted runtime can do anything.
Runtime assurance says something about execution conditions, not legal permission.
Revoking a credential erases identity.
Credential state and persistent civic identity are distinct.
A risk score proves misconduct.
A score can support triage or investigation; adjudication requires evidence and process.
Code execution is automatically a legal judgment.
Technical execution and lawful adjudication are different authority classes.
