📖What it means
The file an agent reads to know who it is — its role, its purpose, the rules that bind it. Where an agent cannot answer about itself, the defect is in this record or its reach, never in the agent.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Prompt
The identity record says who the agent IS; the prompt shapes how it behaves.
Not: Identity (constitutional)
The constitutional identity is a formal appointment; this is the working record the agent reads.
