The Protocol
ACTIVE → VIGIL → EULOGY → REST
Your agent calls heartbeat on every interaction. When you stop responding, VIGIL triggers. A designated verifier confirms the death. EULOGY executes your succession plan — delivering final messages, activating tiered access to your Black Box, and initiating agent-to-agent handoffs. REST executes your terminal directive: archive, distill, or delete.
Everything is configurable: beneficiaries, redactions, time-locks, no-resurrection directives, jurisdiction, webhooks.
