A governance control page for **auditability, immutable logs, and lineage traceability**.
Use this page when failures stem not from infra or retrieval, but from missing **observability, log integrity, or provenance joins**.
---
## When to use this page
- Audit logs missing or mutable.
- No end-to-end trace between query, retrieval, reasoning, and output.
- Approvals and sign-offs not connected to execution logs.
- Incident response blocked because traces are incomplete.
- Waivers exist but are not visible in lineage.
---
## Acceptance targets
- **Immutable audit trail** joinable to queries, datasets, models, and outputs.
- **ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45** logged on every governed step.
- **λ_observe state** recorded per step: retrieval, assembly, reasoning.
- **Coverage ≥ 0.70** for audit visibility of target evals.
- **100% of sign-offs linked** to their execution traces.
---
## Typical breakpoints and WFGY fix
- **Logs editable or deletable**
→ [policy_baseline.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Governance/policy_baseline.md)
Require immutable storage and governance policy baseline.
- **Disconnected traces** (retriever not tied to model output)
→ [retrieval-traceability.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/retrieval-traceability.md)
Enforce snippet schema and trace joins.
- **No lineage link to approvals**
→ [roles_and_access_rbac_abac.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Governance/roles_and_access_rbac_abac.md)
Require RBAC/ABAC enforcement in sign-off logs.
- **Waivers invisible**
→ [risk_register_and_waivers.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Governance/risk_register_and_waivers.md)
Join every waiver to audit and risk ledger.
- **Incidents not reconstructable**
→ [incident_response_and_postmortems.md](https://github.com/onestardao/WFGY/blob/main/ProblemMap/GlobalFixMap/Governance/incident_response_and_postmortems.md)
Ensure forensic traceability across events.

## Minimal audit checklist
1. **Immutable storage**: append-only, cryptographic hashes on logs.
2. **Trace schema enforced**: every event has `query_id`, `snippet_id`, `model_rev`, `λ_state`, `ΔS`.
3. **Lineage join**: connect logs to datasets, model versions, and eval runs.
4. **Governance sign-off linkage**: every approval recorded, linked to execution.
5. **Alerts** on trace gaps or missing coverage.
6. **Forensic reconstruction**: ensure full replay possible within 60 seconds.

## Example log schema
```json
{
"query_id": "q-2025-08-27-991",
"snippet_id": "s-4329",
"model_rev": "v2.1.4",
"retrieved": "doc:2025A/line#220-240",
"ΔS": 0.37,
"λ_state": "→",
"coverage": 0.74,
"signoff_link": "signoff-2025-08-26",
"waiver_ref": null,
"hash": "sha256:8ac9..."
}
