Randomized trial investigates cyber-agent structural honesty using a frozen preregistration framework, suggesting improved validation protocols.

This study aims to establish a validated structure for cyber-agent honesty by using a frozen preregistration protocol.
Developed a frozen preregistration instrument for structural-honesty validation.
Executed a three-trust-root design with various validation checks across two independent vendor models.
Included a manifest digest and adversarial regression suite with multiple checks.
Both vendor models successfully executed the structural-honesty validation protocol, recording matching sealed execution-challenge hashes.
The instrument involved an adversarial regression suite with 35 checks ensuring robustness.
Manifest digest and re-runnable verifier provided enhanced transparency in the validation process.
