When an agent moves money, one question outlives the transaction: was it actually allowed? The Authorization of Record is Fidacy's signed answer: a verifiable statement of authority, bound to the action and preserved in a tamper-evident evidence trail.
Ledgers record that money moved. They do not record that the movement was authorized: by which user, under which mandate, checked against which policy, and decided how. That gap is where agent commerce breaks down: a dispute becomes one party's logs against another's, with no neutral truth in between.
The Authorization of Record gives the transaction a signed statement of authority: which mandate was active, which policy was applied and what Fidacy decided at that moment. A counterparty can check the signature and record without accepting an internal log on faith.

The Authorization of Record is a receipt you can verify and try to break. Tamper with one in the sandbox, or verify a real one yourself.
