Pollard: Governed Semantic Execution Trees for Framework-Independent AI Agent Control and Replay
Agent frameworks can persist checkpoints, trace tool calls, and limit resource use, but these facilities often assign different identities to execution, governance, and replay. We present Pollard, a framework-independent runtime based on governed semantic execution trees. A step identity commits to canonical input, kind, attempt, and parent identity; the same tree records completion, refusal, resource settlement, and branch history. Strict replay returns a verified stored result without invoking the wrapped operation, while a transactional store coordinates reservations across concurrent workers. Under a signed deterministic freeze, two state-model replicas each executed the evaluation tr...
