Agent interfaces should leave a trail
A short note on making AI-assisted workflows reviewable instead of opaque.
Automation becomes easier to trust when it leaves behind useful artifacts: commands run, files changed, tests attempted, and decisions made.
That does not mean every tool needs a giant dashboard. It means the default surface should make review cheap. A good agent workflow produces a trail that a human can scan without replaying the whole session from memory.
The principle is simple: if software takes action on your behalf, it should also make the action inspectable.
