Why this is canonical

'Chain of custody' is a well-established legal and forensic term — the documented, unbroken sequence of possession and control that makes evidence admissible and accountability traceable. Applied to agents, it names the exact governance requirement that regulated industries will impose: a documented, tamper-evident record of every agent action, handoff, and decision. On .com, this compound occupies a high-value intersection of established legal language and emerging agentic infrastructure.
