Verifiable Execution
What trust assumptions does an auditor make when relying on a Catalyst verifiable execution record?
The auditor trusts that the signing key was managed securely by Catalyst and not compromised, that the key corresponds to the claimed environment, and that the record was generated by a genuine Catalyst runtime. Verifiability does not remove the need to trust the infrastructure’s key handling and the authenticity of the execution environment. The record provides cryptographic integrity, not environmental proof.

- 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.
