Operational Auditing and Telemetry

Systemic autonomy requires rigorous accountability. HelseCLI integrates a sophisticated telemetry and auditing framework that monitors every operational step performed by the AI assistant, particularly during high-autonomy Agent Mode sessions.

Objectives of Auditing

The auditing framework ensures operational transparency and facilitates system validation:

1. Verification: Enables itemized inspection of generated code and system modifications.
2. State Recovery: identifies specific filesystem changes to facilitate manual rollback if required.
3. Reasoning Analysis: Provides insight into the assistant's analytical logic and iterative troubleshooting steps.

The !steps Command

The current session audit trail can be retrieved at any point within Code Mode by executing:

> !steps

This retrieves a structured chronological log of the session:

[Operation 1] File Analysis: src/main.py
  - Status: Success
  - Summary: System performed analysis of the entry point to identify functional regressions.

[Operation 2] Test Execution: pytest
  - Status: Failure
  - Diagnostic: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'

[Operation 3] File Modification: requirements.txt
  - Status: Success
  - Delta: Injected 'requests>=2.31.0' into package manifest.

[Operation 4] Package Synchronization: pip install -r requirements.txt
  - Status: Success
  - Telemetry: Successfully synchronized environment with requests-2.31.0.

Audit Log Integration

During Document Mode synthesis, HelseCLI can optionally incorporate a comprehensive audit log as a technical appendix or export it as a standalone .audit.md document. This is recommended for academic transparency and collaborative peer review.

Security and Data Localization

• Local Persistence: Audit logs are persisted exclusively within the project's local directory (standard path: .helse/history/). No telemetry is transmitted to external servers.
• Granular Tracking: For tasks involving the execute_python module, the framework logs the precise script payload and its associated computational output.

Diagnostic Strategy

In the event of an autonomous task failure, utilize the !steps command to identify the precise point of logical divergence. This facilitates corrective user input: "I have identified an incorrect API endpoint invocation in Operation 12. Correct endpoint: /v2/api/data. Re-initialize from that state."
