Verifiable Execution
How does Catalyst ensure that a verifiable record captures every step that executed, even if the agent process crashes?
Catalyst appends a signed record to a durable log before beginning a step, ensuring that a crash only omits steps that never started. The log’s sequence and signatures allow a verifier to replay up to the crash point. However, this does not prove that a step’s side effects were fully applied; external systems may have partially executed. Confirm side effects by checking those systems.

- Verifiable Execution
What is a verifiable execution record in Catalyst?
A signed, immutable sequence of agent steps enabling auditors to prove run integrity through independent replay. It does not validate decision correctness.
- Verifiable Execution
How does Catalyst ensure that step records are tamper-evident?
Catalyst uses a hash chain and digital signatures per step, so any alteration breaks the chain and becomes detectable through signature verification.

Can an auditor independently replay a Catalyst agent run to verify its outcome?
Auditors can replay runs using signed step records and initial state to verify output consistency, though non-determinism may limit exact reproduction.
