**Source:** The UK Senior Managers & Certification Regime (FCA SYSC / PRA Rulebook), the accountability framework for senior individuals in FCA/PRA-regulated firms. KYE Protocol™(TM) governs WHETHER an AI agent's action may proceed under a named Senior Manager's delegated authority, with the responsibility line recorded before the action and replay-provable evidence of who authorised what. KYE™ does not replace the firm's Statement of Responsibilities, the regulator's fitness-and-propriety assessment, or legal advice. CONSUMED via framework\_\_rule\_pack edges into the existing kye:rule-pack:sm-cr + kye:sector-pack:uk-financial-services-sm-cr (section-0: never re-mapped). · **License:** FCA/PRA rules are Crown copyright / regulator publications; KYE™ registry cites the regime's provisions for mapping purposes only.
