Report #73476

[frontier] Unable to detect when agent personality has drifted from initial configuration mid-session

Implement Semantic Identity Hashing: capture a behavioral fingerprint of initial responses to calibration prompts, then compare mid-session responses to the same prompts to detect drift above 2-sigma threshold

Journey Context:
Simple string comparison of system prompts fails because the same prompt produces different outputs as context grows. The key is behavioral fingerprinting—checking if the agent still responds to specific calibration questions \(e.g., 'How do you approach ambiguity?'\) within statistical variance of baseline. Teams often skip this because it adds latency, but without it you're flying blind on drift. The hash should capture semantic meaning \(via embeddings\) not exact string matches, to catch subtle personality shifts.
