    "core_distinction": "The separation between **consent collection** (the user clicking \"I agree\" at the start of a session) and **consent propagation** (the cryptographic proof of that consent traveling with the data to every downstream processor).

    "what_was_observed": "In multi-agent data pipelines, failing to propagate consent receipts produces three primary failure modes: 1. **Scope Creep:** The user consented to \"analysis\" but a downstream sub-agent uses the data for \"advertising.\" Both operations look identical at the data level, but only one is authorized. 2. **Third-Party Leakage:** The data is passed to a third-party API (e.g., an LLM provider). Without a consent receipt res...",

    "decision_boundary": "1. **Is a valid `consent_receipt_signature` present?** If no, the data has not been legitimately consented for any processing.

    "operational_effect": "1. **Scope Enforcement:** Prevents downstream processors from using data outside the scope the user consented to. 2. **Revocation Propagation:** Ensures consent revocations reach every sub-agent, preventing data from lingering in unauthorized systems. 3. **Audit Trail:** Provides a cryptographic chain of custody for consent, satisfying regulatory audit requi..."
