Towards Mitigating Fabricated Consensus: The Active Provenance Gate for Multi-Agent Debate Synthesis

The paper introduces the Active Provenance Gate (APG), a post‑debate verification layer for multi‑agent debate synthesis that audits debate logs, applies self‑correction, and blocks unsupported claims before publication. Empirical studies show that APG more than doubles provenance fidelity in crisis simulations and that users prefer explicit failure reports over fabricated consensus. The work shifts data origin tracing from passive logging to active conditional blocking, addressing safety gaps in large‑language‑model‑based debate systems.
