Session Continuity and Governance Re Attestation Protocol (SCGRP)
Abstract
The Session Continuity and Governance Re-Attestation Protocol (SCGRP) governs whether a candidate runtime instance may continue execution as the permitted successor of a prior governed session across start, resume, migration, failover, or recovery boundaries. SCGRP does not define metaphysical identity. It is a boundary protocol that consumes provenance, state-transfer, policy, environment, and authorization evidence, and yields one of three verdicts: Authorize Resume, Suspend Pending Review, or Reject Execution. SCGRP is OMCI-compatible. Where a path-based identity criterion is active, binding identity remains governed by the strict uniqueness condition of that framework, and SCGRP does not override non-recognition. Its role is narrower and operational: it performs gated re-attestation at execution boundaries so that runtime activation occurs only under verified provenance, admissible state continuity, current governance compliance, and explicit continuation authorization.
