Systemic Governance Risk in AI Agent Networks: Cross-Institutional Contagion and Topological Vulnerability presents the following source proposition: A single vendor is present in 99.2% of sampled institutions. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A mandatory contingent capital issuance regime induces institutions to buy their competitors' securities to satisfy regulatory obligations rather than for economic reasons, and the resulting cross holdings among systemically important institutions undermine the ability of contingent capital to limit systemic risk and contagion. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
