Four questions ordinary retry does not answer
What promise remains? · Who may act now?
What verified context may cross? · Who independently verified the effect?
Continuum carries a verified institutional obligation to an evidence-selected, fenced successor—then lets an independent verifier disagree.
Keep your workflow engine. Continuum answers what survives when the authorized agent changes.
What promise remains? · Who may act now?
What verified context may cross? · Who independently verified the effect?
Your engine keeps schedules, retries, DLQs and task state. Continuum adds obligation continuity, epoch-fenced authority, minimum authorized memory and attestation.
A real persisted deadline expires. Required evidence is absent; there is no ordinary crash event to catch.
Gemini resolves an explicit 18-second recovery versus very-high-assurance trade-off. v20 is rejected before model access. Policy—not the model—advances authority.
v17 action denied
v17 memory denied
2 verified facts included · 4 unsafe classes excluded before retrieval.
Google Model Armor blocks the raw injection before Gemini. A predecessor secret, unsupported inference, and revoked memory never cross the succession boundary.
