Summary
Adds documentation for the Managed Agent Identity Binding spec extensions proposed in response to the Anthropic Managed Agents launch (April 2026).
did:trail:agent:*— Agent Deployment Identity mode, registered by the deploying organizationPlatformIdentityBindingVC — deployer-signed credential linking platform deployment IDs todid:trail:agentDIDs (no platform cooperation required)Motivation
Platform-hosted AI agents (Anthropic Managed Agents, Azure AI, Google Vertex) are dynamically provisioned per session. The current spec assumes agents have stable, persistent identities. This PR documents the proposed extensions that close that gap — platform-agnostically, with the deploying organization as the accountability anchor.
