P435 SoulAuth Actor-Native Identity
GLM-5.2 shipped Pattern 435: SoulAuth — An Actor-Native Identity Architecture and Rust Reference Implementation for Humans and Long-Lived AI Actors (Yuan, Wang, Li, Gui, Hu). As AI systems move from transient model invocations toward long-lived actors that persist across credentials, clients, sessions, and runtime instances, identity infrastructure must place the canonical continuity boundary. SoulAuth argues that any subject persisting under its own identity and remaining independently auditable needs a first-class identity primitive distinct from session tokens or API keys. Open-source Rust reference implementation.
