Audit Logs and Traceability — Guardrails and Fix Patterns

If you need the full triage and all prescriptions, return to the Emergency Room lobby.

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
Require immutable storage and governance policy baseline.
Disconnected traces (retriever not tied to model output)
→ retrieval-traceability.md
Enforce snippet schema and trace joins.
No lineage link to approvals
→ roles_and_access_rbac_abac.md
Require RBAC/ABAC enforcement in sign-off logs.
Waivers invisible
→ risk_register_and_waivers.md
Join every waiver to audit and risk ledger.
Incidents not reconstructable
→ incident_response_and_postmortems.md
Ensure forensic traceability across events.

Minimal audit checklist

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