Answer the board-level question for every AI agent action - what ran, under whose authority, with proof.
Bastion is a governed agent operations layer that connects an IRONLAW policy-as-code gate, an offline-verifiable intent ledger, and a cryptographic evidence chain into a single execution path from operator to edge. Operators issue directives through a browser-side signing surface; Bastion evaluates each directive against active doctrine, appends an attributed line to the master-intent ledger, and dispatches a signed desired-state payload to TheatreManager at the edge. Every step in that path is observable, attributable, and verifiable without a running server.
Every SATCOM ingest, reconcile dispatch, and ledger replay passes through a runtime policy gate backed by a versioned, signed doctrine bundle via the IRONLAW loader (REV 13). The active doctrine version and load age are visible at any moment in the /readiness endpoint - so auditors can confirm which policy was in effect at any wall-clock time.
Every operator-attributed action appends a hash-chained line to a master-intent JSONL ledger. Each line carries a prevHash linking to the prior entry, and optional Merkle checkpoints allow incremental verification of ledger segments without replaying the full file. An offline CLI can verify and rebuild the audit sidecar against the ledger without a running server.
When the Bastion uplink is lost, TheatreManager enters HOLD mode and queues desired-state changes until the uplink is restored. Reintegration after partition requires passing a policy gate before desired state is re-applied - so a disconnected edge node cannot drift into an ungoverned state and silently re-join.
Tool invocations are classified into four approval risk tiers by the IRONLAW policy gate: log-only, batched-approval, blocking-approval, and forbidden. Tier-3 (forbidden) is a hard deny with no approval path. Every action carries operator attribution through directive signing, linking each theatre mutation to a verifiable operator key.
Bastion is built for regulated-enterprise environments where AI agent operations must satisfy board-level accountability requirements, not just engineering convenience. Healthcare organizations operating under strict data handling obligations, financial services firms subject to trade-execution audit requirements, defense-adjacent programs with command authority governance, and critical infrastructure operators who cannot accept ungoverned autonomous action are the target environments. If your procurement or compliance posture requires a provable chain of authority from operator intent to edge execution, Bastion is the operations layer.
The board-level question for every AI agent deployment is the same: what ran, under whose authority, and can you prove it? Answering that question from logs not designed as evidence - from systems that do not carry operator attribution through to the edge - is expensive and often incomplete. Bastion treats the evidence chain as a first-class design requirement. The intent ledger, the policy gate, and the reconcile-time attestation exist so that the answer to those three questions is always available offline, without reconstructing it from secondary sources.
Bastion deploys into your infrastructure - your operators, your doctrine, your edge nodes. We do not offer anonymous trial instances or shared evaluation environments. Evaluation means a real deployment, scoped to your environment, so your team can verify the IRONLAW policy gate against your governance requirements, inspect the intent ledger under your operational conditions, and validate the evidence chain against your audit obligations.
