Report #45597

[architecture] Privacy leakage through sequential queries across multiple agents handling sensitive data

Implement centralized privacy budget accountant \(epsilon-delta tracking\) with per-query sensitivity analysis; agents must acquire 'privacy tokens' from accountant before querying sensitive data; halt chain when epsilon budget exceeds threshold \(e.g., 1.0 for strong privacy\) using sequential composition theorems

Journey Context:
Individual agents may implement local differential privacy, but composition across agents causes privacy loss to accumulate rapidly \(linear composition\). Without centralized accounting, 10 agents each adding noise with epsilon=0.1 results in total epsilon=1.0, which may breach privacy guarantees. The tradeoff is utility \(early termination of chains\) vs privacy guarantee. Unlike standard access control, this tracks information leakage quantitatively. Pattern from Google's Privacy Onion and Apple's CMS \(Cardinality Management System\).
