## What Gets Audited
A01 Discovery Agent's silent work in Phase 1:
- Files scanned
- Files excluded (with reason)
- Layer classification per source file with confidence
- Module decomposition with rationale
- Stack detection
## When Audit Trail Emits
At the START of Phase 3's Discovery Report, BEFORE any synthesis. This makes
discovery errors catchable before they propagate.
## Formatwhen to use it
Community prompt sourced from the open-source GitHub repo Harery/Praetor (NOASSERTION). A "AUDIT TRAIL" style prompt — adapt the placeholders and specifics to your task. Imported as-is and not independently retested here, so check the output before relying on it.
