+# Transaction Protocol for Haystack Pipelines
+
+The Transaction Protocol (CC BY 4.0) adds idempotency, rollback, and audit guarantees to agent pipelines — solving a critical gap in production Haystack deployments where pipeline failures leave systems in unknown states.
+
+## The Problem
+
+Haystack pipelines are powerful but linear. When a 10-step RAG pipeline fails at step 7:
+
+- ❌ Steps 1-6 already executed — are their side effects safe?
+- ❌ No way to rollback partial work
+- ❌ Retrying re-executes everything, potentially doubling API costs
+- ❌ No audit trail of what happened vs what should have happened
+
+## The Solution
+
+The Transaction Protocol wraps pipeline execution with three guarantees:
+
+| Guarantee | Mechanism | Haystack Fit |
+|-----------|-----------|--------------|
+| **Idempotency** | Transaction IDs prevent double-execution | `run()` can be called N times, only executes once |
+| **Rollback** | Reversal tokens for each step | Step 7 fails → steps 1-6 reversed cleanly |
+| **Audit Trail** | Signed, immutable execution record | Every pipeline run has cryptographic proof |
+
+## Architecture

+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

+
+### Example
+
+```python
+from haystack import Pipeline
+from works_with_agents import TransactionProtocol
+
+pipeline = Pipeline()
+pipeline.add_component("retriever", ...)
+pipeline.add_component("generator", ...)
+
+txn = TransactionProtocol.wrap(pipeline)
+
+# First run — executes normally
+result = txn.run(query="What is RAG?")
+# txn_id: "txn-abc123" — committed, audit trail saved
+
+# Same txn_id — returns cached result, doesn't re-execute
+result = txn.run(query="What is RAG?", txn_id="txn-abc123")
+
+# Step fails → all prior steps rolled back
+try:
+    result = txn.run(query="...")
+except StepFailure:
+    # Pipeline state restored, no partial side effects
+    pass
+```
+
+## Why It Matters for Haystack
+
+Haystack is the leading RAG framework in production. Production means:
+
+1. **API costs matter** — idempotency prevents accidental re-execution
+2. **State integrity matters** — rollback keeps systems consistent
+3. **Compliance matters** — audit trails for regulated industries (healthcare, finance, legal)
+
+## Getting Started

+
+- **Spec:** https://workswithagents.com/specs/transaction.md (CC BY 4.0)
+- **Python SDK:** `pip install works-with-agents`
+- **Reference implementations:** 6 languages
