Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Activity log | Choose activity log when the task is evidence review, investigation, compliance, security monitoring, or operational troubleshooting. | Each log row identifies one recorded event and keeps actor, action, object, timestamp, and event ID stable across filtering, sorting, expansion, export, and refresh. | GitHub supports date-range querying, retention windows, API record access, and UTC timestamp handling. |
| Audit log | Choose audit log when the record must support governed security, compliance, forensic, or administrator-accountability review. | Each audit row represents one governed audit record and keeps audit ID, actor, action, object, effective time, result, and retention metadata stable across filters, details, export, and API retrieval. | Supports enterprise audit API access, retention windows, UTC timestamps, date/action/actor queries, pagination, and rate limits. |
