Hi Karl, A correction to my own section 8, after reading the runtime companion properly rather than from the thread. The per-action record I asked for already exists. Section 11 has every decision and refusal leave an integrity-protected record, with execution-outcome evidence for high-consequence actions, and the History input in 2.7.8 lets a PDP evaluate predicates over the Mission's prior evidence. So I was asking for something you've already built.
What's left of my ask is narrower, and it's the part section 16 leaves out. History is composed per PDP and per deployment, and cross-PDP composition is out of scope. In my negative case the inventory PDP can see the reservation and the payments PDP can see the charge, and nothing compares the two. That's the join, and it now sits between your section 11 and your section 16 rather than outside the drafts. I'll frame the GitHub issue that way, against those sections, rather than as a request for a new record.
