AutoCore Evidence Collection and Redaction
Provides safe evidence rules for troubleshooting, security review, and incidents.
Evidence should be sufficient to reconstruct a decision while remaining safe to share. Prefer identifiers, hashes, states, timestamps, and outcomes over raw payloads, credentials, or personal data.
Release candidate source
This article reflects the audited AutoCore source revision 7a504f6e430c16d4fcb03ebdea3cc3fb7816df60 and immutable release-candidate tag v1.0.0-rc.1 at 9edfb109f44cc80385784c694b96392cfc04e70f. Configuration and external provider behavior remain deployment-dependent.
Source boundary
| Control | Source-verified behavior |
|---|---|
| Capture | Record release/source identity, route, environment class, timestamp, correlation ID, state, and safe error. |
| Redact | Remove tokens, passwords, provider secrets, reset links, full message bodies, and private infrastructure identifiers. |
| Compare | Use before/after state, checksums, and provider event IDs to explain changes. |
| Store | Keep evidence in access-controlled incident or release storage with an approved retention period. |
| Share | Sanitize public extracts and retain the complete record only with authorized responders. |
High-risk operation
Use explicit authorization, a written reason, a confirmation gate, and post-action verification. Documentation does not grant permission to change a deployment.
Operational controls
Use the smallest verified control for the task. Keep provider, host, legal, and operator responsibilities separate from application behavior. When a control is not implemented or not verified, leave it disabled or mark it as a limitation.
Verification
Verify the route, relevant API or configuration state, negative path, audit/evidence result, and public effect before closing the task. Record unknown or configuration-dependent behavior as a limitation.
