  "abstract": "Most multi-agent systems coordinate through conversation: one model sends another model a message, shared history grows, and completion is judged from generated reports. This is easy to prototype and difficult to trust. Inputs drift, permissions remain implicit, agents duplicate work, stale context is reused, and “done” can mean only that a model generated the word. CAS-native agent coordination treats exact state and bounded contracts as the medium of coordination. An agent receives content-addressed inputs, a Project and authority scope, a Work Order, a dependency root, a lease, and an output schema. It returns immutable artifacts, proposed patches, evidence, costs, and a receipt. Canonical state changes only after deterministic validation and the required acceptance. The architecture combines exact CAS, semantic aliases, LCSM, Work Orders, Haygent-style deterministic spines, SurfaceDelta, capability leases, and replayable receipts. Agents do not talk their way into expanded authority. They work on addressed objects.",
