+**`Lua.identity.assertion({ audience })` — prove the call comes from this agent.** It returns
+`{ token, expiresAt }`: a 60-second, single-use token that Lua signs. The token proves that the call comes from a
+live execution of this agent. Send `token` as the `X-Lua-Agent-Assertion` header on one call to the system named by
+`audience`. Only platform-allowlisted audiences are minted; today that is `'lua-api:staff'`, for an agent enrolled
+as a staff service principal bound to that agent. Mint a fresh token for every call and never reuse one. Older
+runtimes do not have it, so read it defensively:
+
+```typescript
+const assertion = await Lua.identity?.assertion({ audience: 'lua-api:staff' });
+if (!assertion) throw new Error('This runtime cannot prove the agent identity; upgrade lua-cli');
+await fetch(url, { headers: { 'X-Lua-Agent-Assertion': assertion.token /* , ... */ } });
+```
+
+It throws an `AgentIdentityError`. Check `err.code`:
+
+- `agent_identity_requires_live_execution`: thrown outside a live execution, and always in `lua test` /
+  `lua dev`.
+- `agent_identity_audience_not_allowed`: thrown for any audience that is not allowlisted.
+- `agent_identity_input_invalid`: thrown when `audience` is missing.
+- `agent_identity_unavailable`: the platform could not mint a token right now.
+
+Inside a test session it throws a `TestSessionError` with `test_session_tier_unsupported` instead.
+
 - The platform drops every other field: the persona (`systemPrompt`), `model`, tool scoping, version preview, workflow role and billing identities.
 - It also resets a platform channel (`workflow`/`task`/`trigger`) to `agent-invocation`.

+- `{argName}` is replaced with the value of that argument from the call. Only string and number arguments are filled in.

 - Header names are lowercase, so keys in a `headerSchema` must be lowercase (`'x-probe'`, not `'X-Probe'`). Transport headers are present too, so avoid `z.strictObject` for headers.
 - Webhooks that also subscribe to events receive `body: { eventType, ...payload }`; make sure `bodySchema` allows `eventType`.
-- Event deliveries are checked too, and they arrive with EMPTY `query` and `headers`. A `querySchema` or `headerSchema` with required keys, or a `bodySchema` that rejects `eventType`, logs a warning on every event delivery. Only with `enforceSchemas: true` do those deliveries fail, get logged at ERROR and not retried. Keep these schemas permissive, or declare them only on webhooks that are never event-subscribed.
+- Event deliveries (CLI that includes BAC-1551, after re-push): `querySchema` and `headerSchema` are NOT applied, because `query` and `headers` are always empty there; `bodySchema` is still validated, so make sure it allows `eventType`. A body violation logs a warning (or, with `enforceSchemas: true`, is logged at ERROR and not retried). The normal HTTP path is unchanged. Bundles built with an older CLI still check the empty query/headers on event deliveries.
 - Webhooks deployed from older CLI versions keep the old, unvalidated behaviour until they are re-compiled and re-pushed.
