Following  earlier message

I have folded Isaac Mao's points to the note to submit on 23rd July as
> follows   *(Section 2 in full, plus Section 3.5):*
>
>    - The framing move of *why* the derived-classification observation
>    matters specifically for agents: "if high-risk is derived and relational
>    rather than intrinsic... it has to be represented, transported, and
>    verified between independent parties."
>    - *2.1* — classification as a signed, resolvable attribute bound to
>    agent identity, keeping provider/deployer distinct.
>    - *2.2* — the two-layer structure: classification-as-attribute, plus a
>    portable evidentiary layer for Article 12/14 obligations; the pointer to
>    the W3C AI Agent Protocol CG's in-flight work (issues #34/#36, PRs
>    #40/#41); and the admissibility-not-truth principle ("a high-risk system
>    demonstrates due process, not omniscience").
>    - *2.3* — the lifecycle-persistence gap itself, the Parfit's-fission
>    vs. Abadi/Lampson speaks-for distinction, and the supporting references
>    (LINEAGE.md, the Cormier Zenodo DOI, the Bella implementation).
>    - *3.5* — all four new glossary terms: *derived classification,
>    evidentiary record, classification persistence, speaks-for authority.*
