Public-interest infrastructure for agents
The agent economy will depend on infrastructure that no single product team can safely improvise: identity, provenance, permission, interoperability and incident reporting. These are public-interest functions even when the systems sit inside private platforms.
The question is not whether every layer must be centralized. It is whether people and institutions can move between systems without losing the evidence of who acted, with what authority and under which rules. A universe of agents needs civic plumbing.
