The M1 implementation (Bundle A) committed concrete AuditChannel /
AuditKind / AuditStatus enums that reflect CLAUDE.md's locked
cached-call lifecycle decisions. The older alog.md and
Component-AuditLog.md narratives still used pre-M1 vocabulary
(Success / TransientFailure / PermanentFailure / Enqueued / Retrying /
SyncCall / CachedEnqueued / Attempt / Terminal / Completed). This
commit reconciles both docs to the M1 vocabulary:
AuditChannel : ApiOutbound, DbOutbound, Notification, ApiInbound
AuditKind (10): ApiCall, ApiCallCached, DbWrite, DbWriteCached,
NotifySend, NotifyDeliver, InboundRequest,
InboundAuthFailure, CachedSubmit, CachedResolve
AuditStatus(8): Submitted, Forwarded, Attempted, Delivered, Failed,
Parked, Discarded, Skipped
Updates:
- Status column description + worked examples use the new 8 values.
- Kind table flattened from per-channel groupings to a single flat
list of the 10 discriminators (no more SyncCall / Cached* /
Attempt / Terminal / Completed).
- Cached-call lifecycle examples rewritten to the
CachedSubmit -> Forwarded -> Attempted... -> CachedResolve shape.
- Notification lifecycle examples rewritten to
NotifySend(Submitted) -> NotifyDeliver(Attempted) ->
NotifyDeliver(Delivered/Parked/Discarded).
- Inbound API examples split into InboundRequest (success path) and
InboundAuthFailure (401 path).
- 'Errors only' UI toggle, audit-error-rate KPI, and payload-cap
decision (#6 in §16) all switched from 'non-Success' to
Status IN ('Failed', 'Parked', 'Discarded').
- Per-site event-rate table in §13.1 renamed to the new kinds.
Pure design correction; no operational behavior change. Per the
goal-prompt invariant #6, alog.md may change when a design correction
is committed before the affected code change — this commit is that
correction, landed ahead of the M1 merge so the merge order reads
design-first, code-second.
No code, test, or infra file changes.
Final cross-bundle reviewer identified 7 inconsistencies that the per-bundle
reviewers couldn't see; all fixed in one logical commit.
Critical:
- HighLevelReqs AL-3: drop 'then upsert-on-newer-status' — AuditLog is
strictly append-only (correct for SiteCalls/Notifications, wrong for
the immutable AuditLog shadow).
- Component-AuditLog Error rate KPI: align with HealthMonitoring's
exclusion list (Success/Delivered/Enqueued) rather than just non-Success;
otherwise every Delivered notification or Enqueued cached call would be
counted as an error.
Important:
- Component-AuditLog line 154: ISiteAuditWriter -> IAuditWriter (canonical
name per Commons and the rest of this doc).
- Component-AuditLog Central direct-write paragraph: convert remaining
slash notation (ApiInbound/Completed, Notification/Attempt,
Notification/Terminal) to dot notation used everywhere else.
- Component-ClusterInfrastructure: scope SiteCallAuditActor to
reconciliation + KPIs + Retry/Discard relay; cached-telemetry ingest is
AuditLogIngestActor's role per Combined Telemetry contract.
- Component-CentralUI Audit Log page: state the OperationalAudit read
permission and the read-vs-export split (matching CLI doc).
- Component-NotificationOutbox: add never-fail-the-action invariant for
dispatcher audit writes.
Minor:
- Component-InboundAPI: 'Non-blocking semantics' was ambiguous (could be
read as async); reword to 'Fail-soft' — the write is still synchronous
before flush, but failures are caught and don't change the response.
- Component-CLI: realign audit-query/audit-export flags to actually match
the Central UI Audit Log filter set (channel, kind, status, site,
instance, target, actor, correlation-id, errors-only); drop --user and
--entity-id which are IAuditService concepts, not Audit Log columns.
- Component-AuditLog KPI tile names: 'Volume/Error rate/Backlog' ->
'Audit volume/Audit error rate/Audit backlog' (matches Central UI and
Health Monitoring); drop the two orphan KPIs (Top inbound callers, Top
outbound 5xx) that were never surfaced anywhere.
- Component-AuditLog Interactions: re-attribute DbOutbound emissions to
ESG (where Database.* lives) with a note that Site Runtime is the API
surface for scripts.
- HighLevelReqs AL-12: drop 'and reconciliation operations' (CLI has no
reconcile command; reconciliation is an internal self-healing pull).
Add note that verify-chain becomes operational once AL-11's hash chain
ships.
Code-review feedback on c334de0:
- Ingestion Paths intro said 'Three write paths' but the section has four
subsections (site hot-path append + 3 central writers). Reword to 'Four
paths feed the central AuditLog -- one site originator and three central
writers'.
- Purpose: 'dashboards plus drilldowns plus filter queries' read awkwardly;
switch to standard comma list.
