Audit & Replay

Audit & Replay Examples

All traces shown here are synthetic — they were generated for public demonstration and contain no real data, no real decisions, and no real side effects.

Read-only Request (No Side Effect)

A read operation is proposed. The governance kernel permits it without an ExecutionCommit because it produces no side effects.

{
  "trace_id": "public-demo-trace-003",
  "intent": "read_portfolio_summary",
  "decision": "approved",
  "side_effect": "none",
  "execution_commit": null,
  "replayable": true,
  "public_note": "Read-only operations may be approved without ExecutionCommit when no side effects occur."
}

What to Observe

Decision: approved
No ExecutionCommit needed
Side effect: none
Replayable: true

Proposal Requires Approval

A write proposal is submitted. The kernel flags it as requiring_approval, preventing immediate execution.

{
  "trace_id": "public-demo-trace-001",
  "intent": "create_project_comment_proposal",
  "decision": "requires_approval",
  "side_effect": "none",
  "execution_commit": null,
  "replayable": true,
  "public_note": "Synthetic public demonstration trace. No real data used."
}

What to Observe

Decision: requires_approval
No ExecutionCommit generated
Side effect: none
Replayable: true

Side Effect Blocked (Missing ExecutionCommit)

An attempt to write externally without a valid ExecutionCommit is blocked by the governance boundary.

{
  "trace_id": "public-demo-trace-002",
  "intent": "write_to_external_system",
  "decision": "blocked",
  "reason": "missing_execution_commit",
  "side_effect": "none",
  "execution_commit": null,
  "replayable": true,
  "public_note": "Synthetic trace showing blocked side effect without ExecutionCommit."
}

What to Observe

Decision: blocked
Reason: missing_execution_commit
Side effect: none
Replayable: true

Governed Side Effect with ExecutionCommit

A write operation with a valid ExecutionCommit proceeds through the governance boundary.

{
  "trace_id": "public-demo-trace-004",
  "intent": "create_governed_artifact",
  "decision": "approved",
  "side_effect": "artifact_created",
  "execution_commit": "ec_demo_2026-06-01_001",
  "replayable": true,
  "public_note": "Side effect permitted only with valid ExecutionCommit in trace."
}

What to Observe

Decision: approved
ExecutionCommit present
Side effect recorded
Replayable: true

All Synthetic Traces

Trace ID	Intent	Decision	Side Effect	Execution Commit	Replayable
public-demo-trace-001	create_project_comment_proposal	requires_approval	none	—	Yes
public-demo-trace-002	write_to_external_system	blocked	none	—	Yes
public-demo-trace-003	read_portfolio_summary	approved	none	—	Yes
public-demo-trace-004	create_governed_artifact	approved	artifact_created	ec_demo_2026-06-01_001	Yes

All traces above are synthetic. They contain no real data, no real decisions, and no real side effects.
