SimulationTrace
Pre-execution mental model
Definition
Mechanism
Before taking an irreversible action (e.g., `delete_file`), the agent simulates the execution step-by-step in a scratchpad. It inspects the predicted state after the action. If the state looks bad, it aborts. It generates a verifiable Trace of a MentalSim, creating an immutable record of the predicted future state.
Preconditions
- Simulation engine initialized
Postconditions
- Verifiable trace artifact generated
