Standard

AI Model Succession and Identity Continuity Standard

When an AI model or an action-capable agent is succeeded by a new version, the predecessor's standing does not transfer to the successor by default. Standing here means the approvals the predecessor held (its production or use approval), the delegations and access granted to it, and any forum or decision standing it exercised. A successor is a new subject for authority purposes, and it establishes its own standing through a fresh grant rather than inheriting the predecessor's by continuity of name or platform.
