AHP addresses durable agent sessions and client access to those sessions. It is distinct from ACP’s editor-to-coding-agent boundary and from A2A task exchange.

The research snapshot treats AHP as preview. Compatibility claims should include a precise implementation version and feature flag or preview state until the protocol and host behavior stabilize.

Catalog mapping

Atomic capability rows

Absence here means the feature tree has not yet been published, not that the specification lacks the capability.

No reviewed feature row is mapped yet. The specification reference remains useful for taxonomy and future contributions.

Conformance boundary

Proposed tests

Definitions only. No fixture has been executed against a harness.
