What an agent did must remain reconstructable

A status report describes an outcome. A reconstructable trail connects objective, source, decision, tool action, state change and verification.

A bright modular agent path from source, decision and tool action to artifact, verification and handoff is overlaid by a transparent observability layer with blue trace points and an amber anomaly.

01 · TRACECan runs, spans, tool calls, errors and retries be followed end to end?

02 · PROVENANCEIs each important artifact linked to sources, transformations and responsibility?

03 · AUDITAre approvals and mutations attributable, tamper-resistant and retained in proportion to risk?

CORE METHOD

CLAIM → EVENT → ARTIFACT

A claim becomes dependable only when an observed event and versioned result support it and shared identifiers allow correlation.

THE RECONSTRUCTION TEST

Choose a completed run and reconstruct initial state, sources, actions, changes, tests, approvals, costs and failures without relying on the original chat.
