The Acknowledgment Point Is the System: Durable Policy-Decision Receipts for AI Audit Evidence

The paper presents RuntimeGuard‑AI, a prototype that links each deterministic AI policy decision to its source code, writes a privacy‑minimizing record at a chosen synchronization point, and returns an Ed25519‑signed receipt indicating whether the write succeeded. After a crash, the system validates the integrity of records, manifests, shard placement, sequence continuity, and replay identity, while an independent attestation path chains committed records into signed Merkle epochs for auditor verification. Performance results on an Apple M4 Pro show high throughput (up to 27,193 requests/s) with low latency when buffering, but throughput drops and latency rises when per‑record data and full synchronization are used, illustrating a clear durability‑latency trade‑off.

Lineage-Aware Memory Governance: A Derivation-Gated Framework for Privacy-Preserving Column-Level Access Control in Enterprise AI Agents

The paper proposes the Analytical Memory Unit (AMU), a memory schema that attaches a full derivation (lineage) graph to every cached result in enterprise AI agents. By gating retrieval with a policy that requires authorization for every column touched, the authors prove that sensitive columns cannot be leaked through derived results, achieving up to 90% lineage completeness to eliminate leakage. Experiments show lineage‑gated retrieval removes 18.8‑25.5% of cross‑department leakage while maintaining 81.5‑82.6% memory reuse with minimal overhead, and a real‑agent proof‑of‑concept demonstrates zero leaks over multiple interactions.
