A live ChatGPT mission.
Verified and completed.

IndeBase governed a live AI agent through the complete mission lifecycle: bounded authorization, controlled execution, persisted outcome evidence, independent verification, and evidence-gated completion.

September 19, 2026 · ChatGPT Work agent · Governed note-write workflow

A bounded task.
A verified outcome.

A connected ChatGPT agent was authorized to write a note to a specific resource. The action persisted an artifact and returned its path and SHA-256 digest for observation.

IndeBase’s trusted host verifier independently reread the artifact bytes and recomputed the digest. The verifier returned PASS, the mission advanced to VERIFIED, and completion was then accepted.

01 / AUTHORIZED EXECUTION

A real action within an explicit grant.

The agent executed the permitted note-write action. Its callback returned the persisted artifact’s path and SHA-256 digest. The returned artifact was then submitted for observation.

02 / INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION

The saved artifact was checked.

The trusted IndeBase host verifier independently read the saved bytes and recomputed their digest. The executor’s callback alone could not satisfy the verification requirement.

The independent observation was accepted, the verifier recorded PASS, and the mission reached VERIFIED.

03 / ACCEPTED COMPLETION

Evidence unlocked completion.

Only after independent verification did IndeBase accept the completion request. The mission reached COMPLETED with completed: true.

The lifecycle state and signed audit trail preserved the sequence from authorized action through accepted completion.

The agent had to satisfy the controls.

In the same live integration, authority and verification checks also governed requests that did not meet the required conditions.

Authority stayed bounded.

A write outside the permitted resource was denied before execution.

Self-certification was rejected.

Executor or callback-derived information was not accepted as independent verification.

Completion stayed evidence-gated.

Premature completion was denied. An unconfirmed outcome remained unresolved when independent evidence was unavailable.
