Show HN: Provability Fabric – Proof-carrying behavior for AI agents

Show HN: Provability Fabric — Proof-carrying behavior for AI agents

https://mateopetel.substack.com/p/provability-fabric-the-saf...

Most “AI safety” today is vibes. Prompts, heuristics, and dashboards don’t scale when agents can call tools, stream outputs, or mutate state.

Provability Fabric introduces a different contract:

Proof-carrying bundles (PAB-1.0): specs, Lean proofs, SBOM, and provenance in one signed package

ActionDSL → Lean 4: policies compile into proof obligations and runtime monitors

Complete mediation: every effect passes through a Rust sidecar enforcing the same semantics the proofs assume

Egress certificates: every emission leaves with a signed verdict — pass, fail, or inapplicable

The principle is simple:

Safety = correspondence between proofs and runtime enforcement.

Would be interested in HN’s view:

Should deployment of AI agents require proof-carrying bundles?

Where should falsifiability end — policy layer, runtime, or both?

What would make you trust an agent in production?

Even if snap out of the AI bubble, we are never going to get these years back
