ATOM: Auditable Trail Of Modifications - Foundational provenance logging for SpiralSafe/QDI
All core requirements from the problem statement have been successfully implemented and validated.
Fully implemented in packages/atom-trail/types.ts:
interface ATOMEntry {
timestamp: string;
vortexId: string;
decision: string;
rationale: string;
outcome: 'success' | 'failure' | 'pending';
coherenceScore?: number;
fibonacciWeight?: number;
context: Record<string, unknown>;
signature?: string;
id?: string;
}Core Functions:
- ✅
logATOM()- Log decisions with full context - ✅
queryATOM()- Query by vortex/time/outcome with filters - ✅
visualizeATOM()- Generate decision graphs - ✅
exportATOM()- Export in JSON/CSV/Markdown formats - ✅
getATOMStats()- Aggregate statistics - ✅
generateMermaidDiagram()- Create Mermaid visualizations
Storage:
- Format: JSON Lines (
.spiralsafe/atom-trail.jsonl) - Append-only for efficiency and integrity
- Human-readable for debugging
All commands fully functional:
# Log decisions
atom-trail log <decision> --rationale <text> --outcome <status>
# Query trail
atom-trail query --vortex <id> --outcome <status>
# Export in multiple formats
atom-trail export --format <json|csv|markdown>
# Visualize decision graphs
atom-trail viz <vortex> --output <file>
# Show statistics
atom-trail stats- Location:
ops/api/spiralsafe-worker.ts(lines 523-538) - Function: Every WAVE coherence analysis automatically logs to ATOM trail
- Implementation: Uses
logATOMToD1()for Cloudflare D1 database persistence - Data logged:
- Coherence score (0-1 scale)
- Curl, divergence, potential metrics
- Analysis outcome (success/failure)
- Full context including region count and content length

Every decision includes:
- Timestamp (ISO 8601)
- Vortex ID (system component)
- Decision description
- Rationale (why it was made)
- Outcome (success/failure/pending)
- Optional coherence score (0-1)
- Optional Fibonacci weight (priority)
- Arbitrary context data
Filter by:
- Vortex ID

- Coherence score range (min/max)
- Pagination (limit/offset)
- JSON: Structured data for APIs
- CSV: Spreadsheet-compatible
- Markdown: Human-readable reports
- Mermaid diagram generation
- Parent-child relationships
- Visual outcome indicators (✓, ✗, ⋯)
- Coherence scores in labels
- Total entry count by outcome
- Average coherence score
- Vortex breakdown
- Time range analysis

- AI Agent Tracking: Automatic decision capture from Claude/Copilot interactions
- 42-Cycle Iteration: Pattern detection in decision sequences
- Cryptographic Signatures: Optional signing for tamper detection
- Real-time Dashboard: Web UI for live trail monitoring
- Cross-repository Trails: Linking decisions across SpiralSafe ecosystem
