feat: cross-organizational federation governance model #93

Description

Problem

A2A bridges and trust handshakes work peer-to-peer, but there's no governance model for agents spanning organizational boundaries. AgentIdentity has organization metadata but it's never used in policy enforcement.

Current model: callee-only enforcement. The receiving agent checks trust scores and capabilities, but there's no mutual enforcement, no org-scoped policy delegation, and no concept of ''org A trusts org B's governance layer.''

Gap

When a Microsoft-governed agent calls a partner org's agent:

  • Who enforces PII policies? Only the callee.
  • Can the caller's org mandate additional constraints? No mechanism.
  • Can orgs establish bilateral policy agreements? No federation protocol.

Proposed Solution

  1. Add OrgPolicy model scoped to organization boundaries
  2. Implement mutual enforcement: caller AND callee both evaluate
  3. Add org-level trust establishment (org-to-org trust, not just agent-to-agent)
  4. Policy delegation: ''org A accepts org B's governance attestation for category X''
