docs(prd): complete audit-event contract to #487 acceptance checklist
prd-number-check / require-numbered-prds (pull_request) Failing after 10s
tracker-policy-pr / check-pr (pull_request) Successful in 11s

Expand the PRD from a schema sketch to the full contract the issue mandates
(issue is spec-only: 'defines the contract; implementation may be split
into follow-up PRs'):

- Envelope: add observed vs event timestamps, bottle/activation ids,
  manifest_digest + policy_version, actor/action/resource/outcome,
  correlation_id/causation_id, sensitivity class, typed payload, segment id.
- Add a per-field trust-provenance table (trusted vs claimed for every
  common field); per-type trusted/claimed in the registry.
- Canonicalization: normative, reproducible hash-chain test vectors;
  idempotency (id key, UPSERT), ordering guarantees, and behavior across
  rotation/restart/import/truncation (truncated-tail vs gap).
- Storage: indexable fields + local audit query/verify/rebuild/import CLI.
- Registry: cover all mandated groups incl hostctl.*, egress
  request/decision/cutoff/anomaly, commit.signed (#480), auth/authz, and
  audit.* self-events; schema-evolution + backward-compatible reader rules.
- Export: #324 delivery contract (payload, (epoch,seq) cursor, dedup,
  backpressure, retention ordering); #480 mapping preserving its
  byte-to-activation-key guarantee.
- No raw prompt/response/body capture by default.
- Add an acceptance-criteria coverage table mapping each #487 checkbox to a
  section.

(or a future policy engine) trusts every field outside `untrusted` for

**Two timestamps** because they answer different questions and can diverge
under backpressure: `ts_event` is when the thing happened at the boundary
(the proxy saw the connect, the gate saw the push); `ts_recorded` is when
the single writer durably appended it. Ordering and the chain use
`(epoch, seq)`, never either wall clock. Both are host-set — a bottled
agent never supplies a timestamp.
**Optionality.** `bottle`/`bottled_agent`/`activation`, `manifest_digest`,
`policy_version`, and `payload`/`untrusted` are `null`/absent for events
that have no such subject (a host-level `hostctl.*` or `audit.*` event has
no bottled agent). Absent ≠ empty: a reader distinguishes "no subject" from
"unknown". `id`, `type`, the chain fields, both timestamps, `producer`,
`host`, `actor`, `action`, `outcome`, and `sensitivity` are always present.
#### Trust provenance of every common field
| Field | Trust | Set by |
|---|---|---|
| `v` `id` `type` `epoch` `seq` `segment` `prev` `hash` | trusted | the single writer |
| `ts_event` | trusted | emitting host component (boundary) |
| `ts_recorded` `ts_mono` | trusted | the single writer |

| `sensitivity` | trusted | registry default for `type`, overridable up (never down) by the producer |
| `correlation_id` `causation_id` | trusted | the single writer (assigned as it threads the flow) |
| `payload.*` | trusted | emitting host component (shape fixed per `type`) |
| `untrusted.*` | **claimed** | copied verbatim from a bottle / gateway / forge / remote |
Every registry entry (below) restates, per event type, which `payload`
keys are required and names any `untrusted` keys it carries — so "trusted
vs claimed" is explicit for every event-specific attribute, not just the
common ones.

where `prev` is the previous record's `hash` string (`""` at genesis),
`+` is string concatenation, and `canonical` is the function above.
`ts_mono`, being a float, is serialized by Python's shortest-round-trip
`repr` via `json.dumps`; producers therefore emit it as a JSON number
they do not post-process. (All other fields are strings/ints/objects,
which serialize unambiguously.)
Editing or deleting record *n* changes its hash, so record *n+1*'s `prev`
no longer matches — the break is local and names the tampered record.
Verification needs only the journal itself (no keys), so it runs offline
and in CI.
#### Test vectors (normative)
Two records, reduced to the chain-relevant fields, demonstrate the exact
serialization and linkage. An implementation is conformant iff it
reproduces these bytes and hashes.

The implementation PR ships these plus full-envelope vectors (every field
populated, and a redaction case) as committed fixtures, so a schema-version
bump that changes the bytes fails a golden test loudly.
### Ordering, idempotency, and duplicate handling
- **Ordering.** `(epoch, seq)` is a strict total order per host and, because
the writer is single, a strict order per bottle/activation within that
host — satisfying "at least strict causal order per activation/bottle".
`causation_id` records the explicit cause edges (a DAG) on top of the
total order, so a consumer can reconstruct request → decision → cutoff
even if unrelated events interleave between them.
- **Idempotency.** `id` is the idempotency key. A producer that retries an
emit (e.g. after a writer restart mid-handoff) **reuses the same `id`**;
the writer drops a second append bearing an `id` already present in the
current segment's in-memory set, and the index `UPSERT`s by `id`, so a
duplicate never double-counts or forks the chain.
- **Deduplication downstream.** Because `id` is stable across export and
replay, #324's cursor replay and any cross-host merge dedup on `id` — no
consumer needs to invent a second identity.
### Behavior across rotation, restart, import, truncation
- **Rotation.** At a segment boundary the writer opens a new segment file,
sets its `segment` id, and carries the rotated-out segment's head as the
new genesis `prev` — so the chain is continuous *across* segments while
each file stays independently openable. `verify` walks segments in order
and checks the head-to-genesis link at each seam.
- **Restart.** Covered above: read last line → adopt its `hash` as `prev`,
bump `epoch`, reset `seq`. The chain never restarts even though the
counters do.
- **Import.** `audit import <segment>` appends an externally supplied
segment (e.g. recovered from another host or a backup). Import verifies
the incoming chain in isolation first, then links it only if its genesis
`prev` matches a known head or is explicitly grafted; imported records
keep their original `id` (dedup) and are marked with their origin host so
attribution is not laundered.
- **Truncation.** A crash can leave a partial final line; `verify` reports
it as `truncated-tail` (recoverable — replay resumes from the last intact
record). A chain that ends before a persisted head, or a missing interior
`seq`, is reported as `gap`/`missing-suffix` (evidence of deletion, not a
clean crash). The two are distinguished so an operator can tell "power
loss" from "someone trimmed the log".

New types are additive; adding one does not bump `v`. Removing or Notes:
re-typing a field bumps `v`. - **`egress.request` vs `egress.decision`** share a `correlation_id`; the
`decision`'s `causation_id` points at the `request`, and a later `cutoff`
chains onto the `decision` — so a flow is reconstructable.
- **`audit.*` self-events** make the audit subsystem audit itself: a failed
verification, a detected truncation, or a dropped export is itself a
chained, tamper-evident record — you cannot silence the alarm without
breaking the chain that carries it.
- **Free-text and remote-echoed fields are always `untrusted`** (`reason`,
`agent_rationale`, PR `title`/`description`, `target_claimed`), because
they originate in the bottle or a remote response; the host-observed
counterpart (`resource`, `outcome`, `gitleaks_result`) is the trusted
fact.
**Sensitivity + redaction per type.** Every type's default `sensitivity`
is listed above; a producer may raise it (never lower it). `restricted`
events keep their `payload` in the journal but the export projection ships
only the envelope + a payload digest unless the consumer is authorized —
so a `security`/`restricted` record is still counted and correlated
downstream without leaking its body. The credential-shape redaction rules
(next) apply to **every** type regardless of sensitivity.
**Schema evolution & backward-compatible readers.** The registry is
append-only: **adding** a type, an optional `payload` key, or an
`untrusted` key does **not** bump `v`; readers ignore unknown fields
(forward-compatible) and treat absent optional fields as `null`.
**Removing** or **re-typing** a field, or making an optional field
required, bumps `v`. A reader declares the max `v` it understands and
refuses to *interpret* a higher-`v` record, but the **verifier is
version-agnostic** — the hash covers whatever fields exist, so chain
integrity is checkable across versions without understanding semantics.
Every `v` bump ships a migration note and updated golden vectors.

that projection is a field re-map, never a reformat.
#### The #324 delivery contract (payload, cursor, backpressure)
#324 transports events off-box; it must not invent a second envelope. This
PRD fixes the contract it depends on:
- **Payload.** #324 ships the **native canonical record verbatim** (the
exact bytes the hash covers), optionally wrapped in the CloudEvents
projection whose `data` *is* that record. Either way the integrity fields
travel intact and the receiver can verify against the same bytes.
- **Cursor.** The export cursor is `(epoch, seq)` (equivalently the last
exported `hash`). It advances **only on acknowledgement**, so delivery is
at-least-once and gap-free; a crash re-sends from the last acked cursor.
- **Idempotency / replay.** Dedup is on `id` (stable across replay), so
at-least-once delivery is safe — the receiver collapses re-sends.
- **Backpressure.** The outbox is the journal itself plus a cursor; when
the endpoint is slow the cursor simply lags — the writer never blocks on
export, and audit never applies backpressure to the data plane it
records.
- **Retention interaction.** Retention/rotation **must not** prune a
segment whose records are still behind the export cursor; the reaper
honors `min(cursor)` across all configured consumers. (The schedule
itself stays the retention follow-up; this is the *ordering* constraint
that follow-up must respect.)
#### #480 signed-commit attribution maps in without weakening it
#480 binds a commit's bytes to a per-activation signing key. It maps to the
`commit.signed` event: `payload` carries `repository`, `commit_sha`,
`activation_key_id`, and a `signature_ref` (the detached-signature
location or its digest) — **not** the private key and not a re-derived
signature. The audit event therefore *references and timestamps* #480's
existing byte-to-activation-key proof inside the tamper-evident chain; it
does not re-implement or replace it, so #480's guarantee is unweakened —
the signature still verifies against the commit bytes independently, and
the audit record adds only "this binding was observed at this point in the
chain". The trusted `actor`/`activation` fields and the `commit_sha`
payload are host-observed at the gate, so attribution cannot be forged by
the committing agent.

## Acceptance-criteria coverage (#487)
The issue defines the contract; implementation is explicitly split into
follow-up PRs. This PRD is the durable decision record; each acceptance box
maps to a section:
| #487 acceptance criterion | Where |
|---|---|
| Durable PRD defines versioned envelope + initial registry | *The envelope*, *Event registry* |
| Canonical JSON + hash-chain rules, unambiguous, with test vectors | *Canonical serialization + hash chain* → *Test vectors* |
| Trust provenance explicit for every common + event-specific field | *Trust provenance of every common field*; per-type `untrusted` in *Event registry* |
| Redaction prohibits credentials / raw secrets / unsafe capture by default | *Redaction rule*; `untrusted`-only claims; sensitivity classes |
| JSONL journal canonical; SQLite index fully rebuildable | *Journal + SQLite index* (`audit rebuild`) |
| Minimum local search/query contract | *Journal + SQLite index* → *Local query surface* |
| #324 can transport/replay without a second envelope | *The #324 delivery contract* |
| #480 maps in without weakening its byte-to-activation-key guarantee | *#480 signed-commit attribution maps in…* |
| Schema evolution + backward-compatible readers | *Schema evolution & backward-compatible readers* |
| Integrity detects modification / deletion / reorder / bad continuation | *Test vectors* (tamper), *Behavior across rotation…truncation*, `audit verify` |
Two acceptance items are **specified here, implemented later** by design
(the issue permits this): the concrete test-vector *fixtures* and the
`audit` CLI land in impl chunks 23; the #324 outbox lands in chunk 6.
Nothing in the contract is left undefined — only its code is deferred.
