Abstract
Disclosed is a species-level arrangement in which one participant's consent to run another participant's shared, versioned automation artefact is bound to the artefact version consented to, and in which the strength with which that binding is enforced depends on how the run was initiated. For machine-initiated recurring runs, the executing component re-checks the recorded version mark itself, unconditionally, before every run; a mismatch does not fail the individual run but moves the standing arrangement into a durable, named parked state in which it never fires again until a human acts. For human-initiated runs, the same mismatch is surfaced only against a version the caller declares it has seen, as a named conflict answer that returns the current version mark, so that a caller declaring nothing is not stopped. Re-enabling the parked arrangement is itself the act of consenting to the current version, with no separate consent step, so that the consent record cannot drift from the thing consented to. Disclosed additionally is the boundary condition that makes such a claim honest: the human-initiated half is opt-in by construction and is disclosed as such rather than presented as an enforced gate.
