Pillar 04 · Human Partnership Boundary

Agents notice and prepare. Humans sign and decide.

Under AEGIS Contract §IV.7, no agent action becomes durable memory or external communication without an attributable human signature. Governance is not a bottleneck—it is the license for proactive autonomy.

Status Matrix

Human partnership capabilities posture.

Current production mechanisms vs ongoing partnership trajectory.

Live / Evidenced

  • Hard Human Approval Gate (Contract §IV.7) on Catch Ledger and Memoria.
  • Boardroom multi-agent motion deliberation with human sign/veto seat.
  • Attributable audit logging storing operator decision ID and timestamp.
  • Non-intrusive Omni post-launch guidance cards with explicit dismissal.
  • Onboarding Operating Intent contract ratification step.

Live Seed / Hardening

  • Boardroom multi-agent argument synthesis and voting evidence.
  • Batch approval workflows for high-volume operational teams.
  • Role-based approval tiers (Operator vs Lead vs Admin).
  • Operator approval latency and signal-to-noise ratio analytics.

Not Claimed

  • Fully autonomous hands-off email sending or contract signing.
  • Auto-approval overrides based on high LLM confidence scores.
  • Silent background Memoria mutations without operator review.
  • Delegation of human legal liability to autonomous AI agents.
