arXiv:2610.00132v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Persistent AI agents revise beliefs, consolidate memory, and replace execution substrates. Similar successor states can accompany differently authorized transition claims, while legitimate development can change state substantially. We introduce the Cognitive Continuity Test (CCT), a policy-relative contract for verifying submitted transitions using scoped authority, provenance, deterministic application, semantic predicates, and candidate-persistence receipts. CCT distinguishes verified admissibility, affirmative violation, and unresolved requ
