Audit Trail: Decision History and Traceability

Purpose

Provide bidirectional traversal of decision history, enabling users to understand why decisions were made, what happened after them, and search for specific patterns across verification sessions.

Capabilities

Bidirectional Traversal

Forward: "What happened after this decision?" Backward: "Why did we make this decision?" Search: "Show all security critic rejections"

Persistence Layers

1. In-memory - Current session only
2. File-based - .claude/coherence-audit/ directory
3. Git commits - Decision rationale in commit messages
