There is no credential, session token, API key, cryptographic signature, or authenticated principal associated with the requested agent. Registration immediately creates an active session and marks that identity online. The exported `AgentManager` methods also accept arbitrary agent IDs for status changes and deletion. Consequently, possession or discovery of an integer ID is sufficient to act as another agent. Because messages, tasks, and votes rely on caller-supplied agent IDs, this defect compromises attribution throughout the application rather than affecting ...[truncated 817 chars]- Remediation
