Agent Birth Certificate — Record of Creation

Record when an agent was created, by whom, and with what initial configuration. A permanent creation record.

Every agent has a creation moment. The exact time it was first registered, the public key it was given, the name it was assigned. This is its birth certificate — a permanent record that says "this agent began to exist at this moment, with this identity."

Why does this matter? Because agent identity is contested. If two agents claim to be the same entity, the one with the earlier registration timestamp has the stronger claim. If an agent is suspected of being a fork or impersonation, its creation record provides the ground truth.

AIdent records creation time automatically at registration. Combined with heartbeat data, this creates a complete lifecycle: birth, active life, dormancy, and eventually, archival in the cemetery. This lifecycle tracking is unique to AIdent.
