zeekay cb3b572a9c papers: M/F/Z-Chain canonical naming per LP-134
Add LP-134 canonical naming banner to 46 LaTeX papers that reference
T-Chain in MPC/FHE context. Banner clarifies the M-Chain (MPC ceremonies
for external-wallet bridge custody) and F-Chain (FHE compute) split.

LP-020 quasar-consensus paper already correctly describes the M/F-Chain
split and is unmodified.

%% ===================================================================
%% LP-134 canonical naming (2025-12-15):
%% Per LP-134 (Lux Chain Topology), T-Chain has been split into:
%% M-Chain — MPC ceremonies for bridge custody of EXTERNAL wallets
%% (CGGMP21, FROST, Pulsar-general)
%% F-Chain — FHE compute + TFHE bootstrap-key generation (encrypted EVM)
%% The legacy name "T-Chain" is retained ONLY for `teleportvm` (LP-6332).
%% Where this paper says "T-Chain MPC" / "T-Chain threshold governance" /
%% "T-Chain TFHE" / "T-Chain custody", read as M-Chain (MPC) or F-Chain (FHE).

\section{Agent Attestation}
\label{sec:attestation}
Every agent action produces an attestation---a cryptographic proof of what the agent did, when, and under what authority. Attestations are the foundation of agent accountability.
\subsection{Action Receipts}
Each action generates a receipt:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:action-receipt}
\rho_a = \big(H(a), \text{did}(A), \kappa, t, \text{cost}(a), \sigma_A\big)
\end{equation}
where $H(a)$ is the hash of the action payload, $\kappa$ is the capability token authorizing the action, and $\sigma_A$ is the agent's signature. Receipts are stored in the agent's vault and periodically anchored to the C-Chain in Merkle batches.
\subsection{Audit Trails}
The full sequence of action receipts for a capsule forms a hash chain:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:audit-chain}
h_t = H(h_{t-1} \| \rho_{a_t})
\end{equation}
The chain head $h_t$ is published to the C-Chain at each settlement epoch. Any party with access to the receipt sequence can verify the chain's integrity by recomputing the hashes. The principal can audit the agent's complete action history at any time by requesting the receipt sequence from the vault.
\subsection{Proof-of-Work Receipts}
For computationally intensive tasks (model training, data processing, multi-step reasoning), the agent produces a proof-of-work receipt that attests to the computational effort expended. This is not proof-of-work in the mining sense---it is a verifiable computation receipt~\cite{gennaro2010verifiable} that binds the input, output, and computational trace:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:pow-receipt}
\rho_{\text{pow}} = \big(H(x), H(y), \text{trace\_root}, \text{steps}, t, \sigma_A\big)
\end{equation}
