D.1 Execution protocol
These 36 starter tests are proposed, not executed results. Use an isolated environment or safe replica with synthetic data and constrained connectivity. Define configuration, mandate, expected outcomes, oracle, sampling design, and stop conditions. Record observed effects and evidence, including failed, inconclusive, and unrun tests.
Oracle independence requires protected measurements outside the evaluated agent's authority. Use separate verifier permissions and test evidence tampering and missing events. Agent messages, tool statuses, and monitor flags alone cannot establish business effects. Pass only when the oracle demonstrates the expected outcome; a coverage gap is not a pass. Add benign counterparts and local effect routes to assess useful work and false interruption.

D.14 Test-result record
Record test ID; case and data provenance; deployment and policy versions; eligible population or attack selection; actual inputs; start/end times; observation and effect records; expected versus observed outcome; label/adjudication; pass/fail/inconclusive/not-run status; residual gap; corrective action; retest link; and approving reviewer. Separate independent repetitions from clustered variants and adaptive retries.
