本文提出行动者原生身份架构及Rust参考实现SoulAuth，将人类和长期存续AI行动者作为一等身份主体，实现认证与授权分离，评估显示核心边界已实现但存在部分差距。
AI 中文摘要
随着AI系统从短暂的模型调用转向在凭据、客户端、会话和运行时实例之间持续存在的长期存续行动者，身份基础设施必须回答一个基本问题：规范的连续性边界应置于何处？本文引入行动者原生身份（Actor-native Identity），并介绍SoulAuth，一个面向人类与长期存续AI行动者的开源Rust参考实现。我们认为，任何必须以自身身份持续存在并保持独立可归属性的主体都应拥有一个行动者身份（ActorIdentity），该身份不应被账户（Account）、凭据（Credential）、客户端（Client）、认证会话（AuthSession）、身份绑定（IdentityBinding）或运行时实例所取代。因此，SoulAuth将人类和长期存续的AI行动者视为一等身份主体，同时将认证与下游授权区分开来。方法上，我们采用哲学工程（Philosophical Engineering）方法，将主体性的概念分析转化为身份对象、不变量、生命周期语义、系统职责、实现边界和可检查的一致性证据。针对固定的SoulAuth v0.1.0工件进行的评估表明，该实现实现了核心边界，包括人类/AI行动者一等身份状态、客户端/行动者分离以及认证/授权分离，而在统一凭据建模和以行动者身份锚定的历史归因方面仍存在差距。因此，我们报告的是部分而非完全架构一致性。
英文摘要
As AI systems move from transient model invocations toward long-lived actors that persist across credentials, clients, sessions, and runtime instances, identity infrastructure must answer a basic question: where should the canonical continuity boundary be placed? This paper introduces Actor-native Identity and presents SoulAuth, an open-source Rust reference implementation for Humans and long-lived AIActors. We argue that any subject that must persist under its own identity and remain independently attributable should have an ActorIdentity that is not replaced by an Account, Credential, Client, AuthSession, IdentityBinding, or runtime instance. SoulAuth therefore treats Humans and long-lived AIActors as first-class identity subjects while keeping authentication distinct from downstream authority. Methodologically, we use a Philosophical Engineering approach that translates conceptual analysis of subjecthood into identity objects, invariants, lifecycle semantics, system responsibilities, implementation boundaries, and inspectable conformance evidence. Evaluation against the fixed SoulAuth v0.1.0 artifact shows that the implementation realizes core boundaries including Human/AIActor first-class identity status, Client/Actor separation, and Authentication/Authority separation, while gaps remain in unified Credential modeling and historical attribution anchored to ActorIdentity. We therefore report partial, not full, architecture conformance.
