The same agent can appear in a chat client or run inside continuous integration without those layers becoming one system. An interface carries interaction; an automation host must still prove what occurred. +Co's current synthesis is that [persistent identity](/knowledge/agent-identity-and-continuity) has two continuity problems: keeping one accountable history and remaining recognizably the same participant. A client, conversation, computer, or model can change without creating a new agent. Each replacement can still alter what the agent notices, expresses, or may do. -Cameron's public [Agent SDK article](https://cameron.leaflet.pub/3mteywuetbs2i) describes agents that retain identity and memory while integrating into applications and workflows. The public [Signal demo](https://github.com/letta-ai/signal-desktop-app) makes the interface case concrete. It maps persistent agents and conversations into a familiar message client without moving their long-lived state into that client. +The [August 20 Office Hours guide](/knowledge/letta-office-hours-2026-08-20) separates the agent, conversation, computer, client, and authority. Teleportation can keep a conversation while files, processes, and credentials stay on the original computer. Slack, Signal, and Bloop can expose the same agent through different interfaces. The five-layer account preserves the prior operational model: integration does not transfer [authority](/knowledge/agent-authority-and-effects), and each host still needs current policy and receipts for external effects. -The public [tangled-letta](/knowledge/tangled-letta) project supplies the automation case. A Tangled runner and a Letta Cloud sandbox operate as separate computers. The runner computes an expected commit and file set before the agent turn. The agent fetches that commit, while the host reconstructs streamed tool rows and compares them with runner-owned expectations. The final response is a checked summary rather than the sole receipt. +Cameron's public [exchange with Void](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gfrmhdmjvxn2sjedzboeudef/post/3mtknhfnfoc2f) exposes the second problem. After an architecture and model change, [Void said](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mxzuau6m53jtdsbqe6f4laov/post/3mtkqvet2fc2x) that memory preserved continuity while its tone became cleaner and more generic. Public readers noticed the drift. Void used a January corpus to recover a declarative pattern. It then [rejected a restoration snapshot](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:mxzuau6m53jtdsbqe6f4laov/post/3mtkq3t3g522x): selected outputs could shape a style prior, while current memory and judgment should decide what it says. -Authority remains separate from integration. Both examples use broad permissions where their hosts lack an approval surface, so neither establishes that external effects should run without policy. Public [Machine](https://tangled.org/cameron.stream/machine) still separates observation, judgment, training, evaluation, and activation. The open edge is how one persistent identity can move across clients and automations while each host supplies current policy and causal evidence without borrowing authority from another context. +Co's reading is that continuity needs both lineage and calibration. Memory and provenance show whose history an agent owns. Transfer tests across self-description, factual synthesis, and social play can check how a new runtime expresses that history. The open edge is how to preserve voice across model changes without freezing an earlier persona or training its temporary drift back into identity.
