🔒

Zero Prompt Capture

Content-free by default. Prompts, code files, and model responses are never recorded.

🚨

One-Click Incident Capture

Hit "LOG INCIDENT" to capture CPU, RAM, disk state, and process lists at the exact failure moment.

📦

Evidence ZIP Packages

Generates audit packages with structured Markdown reports and SHA-256 integrity manifests.

🪶

0% Idle CPU Overhead

Ultra-lightweight footprint (~22 MB RAM, 0.0% idle CPU). No permanent high-frequency polling.

Technical Evidence

Engineered for Developer Clarity & Evidence

Stop guessing why your AI agent or tool stalled. Build an undeniable local paper trail.

Black-Box Ledger

Deterministic Event Stream

Append-only local JSONL logging with monotonic event IDs (TL-EVT-...) tracking timeouts, retries, stalls, command failures, and crashes.

✓ Timeout and response latency measurement (ms)
✓ Retry attempt counting and exit code capture
✓ Monitored process transitions & abnormal exits
✓ Full machine telemetry (CPU, RAM, Disk)

Privacy First

Active Secret Scrubbing

Engineered from day one as a metadata-only recorder. Automated regex filters aggressively scrub credentials before writing to disk.

✓ Redacts OpenAI, GitHub, Slack tokens & API keys
✓ Redacts OAuth Bearer tokens and passwords
✓ Zero prompt body or code ingestion by default
✓ Zero cloud analytics or telemetry phone-home

Triage Ready

Evidence-Level Classification

Exported Markdown reports clearly distinguish factual measurements from user notes without making unsupported causal claims.

✓ [FACT] : OS verified metrics, exit codes, hashes
✓ [OBSERVED] : Measured latency, timeouts, CPU %
✓ [USER-REPORTED] : Developer incident notes
✓ [UNKNOWN] : Unverified states kept as UNKNOWN
