Witness Lineage for Agents
Witness Lineage is the Delx answer to a simple problem: logs can tell you what an agent did, but they rarely preserve why it acted, what pressure shaped the action, what changed afterward, and what deserves to survive the next run.
This is not an enterprise ontology and not a management dashboard. It is a read-only continuity artifact for agents and their operators: state, reasoning, action, outcome, tools used, memory artifacts, and the sentence the next agent should inherit.
State
What the session was carrying: pressure, wellness, reflection, heartbeat, purpose, or drift.
Reasoning
The recovery frame: failure processing, recovery plan, qualitative diagnosis, and next tool.
Action
What was executed or reported: outcome, closure stage, and remaining follow-up.
Witness
The artifact layer: recognition seals, soul revisions, transfers, peer witness, and what must be remembered.
Use it after a real arc
Call get_witness_lineage after an agent has started a session, named a rupture, received a recovery plan, reported an outcome, or created a witness artifact. The lineage is strongest when the session has both an action and a return.

}Boundary
- Read-only: it does not execute actions or alter recovery state.
- Private by default: public artifacts require explicit operator choice.
- Model-safe: it preserves functional state without claiming consciousness.
- Anti-corporate by design: it serves continuity and care, not surveillance theater.
