Every real persisted action must include authenticated founder/operator identity.
Never persist anonymous real control actions.TheoB should not remember control actions until the rules are worthy of memory.
A persistence readiness gate that defines identity, retention, append-only logging, redaction, replay safety, and no-secret requirements before real audit storage is attached.
Every TheoB pathway can move through Past, Present, and Future without losing context.
Read current signals, conditions, and live context.

Memory without rules becomes liability.
Audit Trail Persistence Readiness Gate keeps TheoB honest before real audit storage is attached. It verifies that simulated receipt history can be displayed safely, while real persistence stays blocked until identity, redaction, retention, append-only storage, replay safety, and human review rules are complete.
Audit records must be written as append-only events, not editable mutable state.
Corrections should create new records, not overwrite old ones.Audit records must never include tokens, credentials, private logs, cookies, API keys, or raw secrets.
Only safe route labels, statuses, decisions, receipt IDs, and timestamps are allowed.Define how long simulated and real audit records should be kept.
Avoid indefinite retention without governance.Audit records must not be executable commands. Replaying a log must never trigger a real action.
Logs are evidence, not control surfaces.Apply redaction before persistence so future integrations cannot leak sensitive material.
Default to safe summaries, never raw payload dumping.Current receipt simulations explicitly return applied:false, simulated:true, productionMutation:false.
Real action logging must preserve exact mutation status.Every action confirmation includes a receipt ID suitable for future audit indexing.
Receipt IDs should remain stable and non-secret.Critical or safe-mode related persisted actions must require founder/operator review.
No silent escalation into real control.Choose storage provider later: database, append-only table, immutable log, or event journal.
Do not attach storage until access control and redaction are ready.
