This PR introduces a new ERC defining five composable interfaces for trust infrastructure in autonomous agent economies and tokenized asset markets:

IAttestation (MUST) — Structured, signed, verifiable factual statements
IDecisionTrail (SHOULD) — Immutable audit trail for agent decisions
IAccountability (SHOULD) — Dispute resolution, liability chains, evaluator scoring
IRiskSignal (SHOULD) — Cross-chain risk propagation and regime detection
IRWAPassport (MAY) — Machine-readable identity for tokenized assets

Composable with ERC-8004, ERC-8183, ERC-3643, ERC-7943, ERC-4626, ERC-8106, ERC-8211, ERC-7683.
Reference implementation: 26 contracts live across 2 chains (Base + Gnosis), 499 tests, 0 failures.

Updated Eth Magicians title with assigned number & ERC title

EIP Walidator error[markdown-link-first] on line 329:
the first occurrence of ERC-8211 must be a Markdown link.

Applied: ERC-8211 → [ERC-8211](./eip-8211.md) on first 3 occurrences (line 329).

Resolves PR ethereum#1705 validator failure.

…draft)

HTMLProofer was failing because ./eip-8211.md target does not exist in master
(ERC-8211 Smart Batching is in PR ethereum#1638, not yet merged).

Removed the ERC-8211 composability paragraph (line 329) entirely rather than
introducing dependency on an unmerged draft ERC. Core composability claims with
ERC-8004, ERC-8183, ERC-3643, ERC-7943, ERC-4626, ERC-8106, ERC-7683 remain
intact (all merged ERCs).

Resolves HTMLProofer failure on PR ethereum#1705.

All 9 CI checks now pass. PR ready for review when editors have bandwidth. Happy to address any design feedback.

Gentle bump on this one - all 9 CI checks are green, the ERC-8211 link issue is resolved, and the number (8240) was assigned by @abcoathup back in April. The PR is just waiting on a second code-owner review to merge.

If any of @g11tech, @jochem-brouwer, @SamWilsn or @xinbenlv has bandwidth for a pass, I'd be grateful.

Happy to address any design or formatting feedback right away. No rush intended; just flagging it's review-ready.

Thanks for your time !
