Audit Trail Widgets

Purpose Persistent, exportable log of every AI action taken in a session or workflow — timestamped, typed, and human-readable.
Use when Any agentic workflow where actions must be reviewable after the fact; regulated industries; any interface where accountability is required.
Do not use As the only disclosure mechanism — audit trails are retrospective. TD01 handles real-time disclosure.
Failure mode prevented Organizations cannot reconstruct what an AI did, when, and why — creating liability without accountability.

Overview
Design rule

Every agent run must produce an audit trail. Logs must be exportable, timestamped to the second, and typed (not just described).
