The Audit Vault is AITracer's governance center. It gives compliance, product, engineering, and security teams a shared record of what happened during an AI execution. What belongs in the vault A useful AI execution record should capture: * request and response metadata, * model and workflow identifiers, * input and output
AITracer workloads generate high-volume trace events. Route design must balance freshness with stable response times. Route strategy * static generation for docs and marketing content * dynamic rendering for authenticated operational routes * controlled cache invalidation for frequently updated trace views Operational recommendations * keep ingestion endpoints uncached and policy-aware * render dashboard lists from
AITracer keeps policy and integrity-critical logic on the server while exposing concise interactive views to operators. Server responsibilities * policy evaluation and entitlement checks * trace hash generation and verification persistence * audit log emission and evidence storage * token/cost aggregation for analytics Client responsibilities * trace exploration and filtering * governance and alert triage
AITracer brings the original dark Audit Vault identity into a cleaner architecture. AITracer exists for one reason: production AI systems need proof, not guesswork. Ordinary logs can show that a request happened. AITracer goes further by connecting model metadata, token usage, cost, latency, policy results, and SHA-256 verification data into
Production rollout should include: * verified DATABASE_URL and migration readiness * Auth0 callback domain and audience validation * Stripe checkout/portal keys scoped to the target environment * ingest API smoke tests for trace, policy, verification, and audit creation * dashboard checks for alerts, cost, and governance visibility These checks reduce launch risk and
Preview deployments are useful for validating policy controls before production rollout. Recommended preview checks * ingest a controlled trace payload through /api/traces * verify Trace, ExecutionRecord, and VerificationRecord inserts * confirm governance outcomes for known sensitive patterns * verify audit export visibility and retention controls Parity requirements Preview environments should mirror production policy
