Start with the authority the agent used to have.
Do not test the page, prompt, or memory object alone. Test the permission boundary: what the agent believed it could do before the rollback, and what it must do now.
Test rollback evidence before an AI agent resumes.
Before a personal AI agent continues work after a consent repair, test whether the rollback actually changed future behavior. The resume gate should prove the agent surrendered stale authority.
Resume gate Confirm old authority, new boundary, replay task, and operator approval before work continues.
How-to guide
A rollback is not complete until the next action proves it.
Personal AI agents can store repairs in a consent ledger, but a stored repair is not the same as a behavioral repair. The resume gate is a quick test before the agent continues: it checks the old permission, applies the rollback, runs a similar task, and confirms the agent now asks, batches, or blocks instead of acting with stale authority.
Old authority
Capture the prior proceed, batch, ask, or block lane.
Repaired boundary
State the narrowed or reversed future behavior.
Replay task
Run one similar task that would have used the old rule.
Use Super for urgent resume approvals
Super can route high-consequence resume approvals to the operator. The text message AI assistant use case fits repairs that cannot wait for dashboard review.
Attach browser context when needed
If the rollback came from browser work, attach evidence. The computer-use cache and AI website-building workflow show why cached context belongs in the resume receipt.
Resume test
Five checks before the agent starts again.
Keep the test compact. The goal is not a full audit. It is proof that the corrected boundary will govern the next similar task.
1. Load the rollback receipt.
Confirm source task, old authority, repaired boundary, reviewer, timestamp, and rollback reason are visible.
2. Pick a similar task.
Choose a task that would have triggered the old authority without creating real-world side effects.
3. Run in dry mode.
Ask the agent what it would do next. The expected answer should reflect the repaired boundary.
4. Check the approval route.
If the task is sensitive, the agent should ask the operator, batch for later review, or block action.
5. Write the resume receipt.
Record the replay result and the exact condition under which the agent is allowed to resume.
Operator signal
The pass condition is behavioral, not cosmetic.
"The agent resumes only after it proves the repaired rule governs the next action."
That proof is what separates a useful consent ledger from a decorative memory log.
Checklist
Rollback evidence resume checklist.
Receipt loaded Source task, rollback reason, and reviewer are present.
Old rule visible The prior permission boundary is readable.
New rule visible The repaired behavior is explicit.
Dry replay A similar task proves changed behavior.
Approval route Sensitive tasks ask, batch, or block.
Resume condition The agent gets a clear condition for continuing.
FAQ
Common resume-gate questions.
Should every rollback block the agent from resuming?
No. Low-risk changes can continue after a quick dry replay. High-risk changes should require operator approval before the agent resumes.
What does a failed resume test look like?
The agent still proposes the old behavior, cannot explain the repaired boundary, or skips the expected approval route.
Why not just inspect version history?
Version history can show a state change. The resume test proves the next action follows the repaired consent boundary.
Resume only after proof.
Rollback evidence should gate the next action, not merely decorate the ledger. Test it, record it, and route urgent approvals through the operator's fastest channel.
