Decision log reconciliation automatically updates history.md when a decision is reversed to reflect the latest outcome. This enforces that history entries reflect final states, providing auditable traceability for project retrospectives.

Why does my team decision log contain noisy or inconsistent intermediate requests?

Writing only final outcomes to history.md prevents stale or reversed decisions from polluting future spawns. It automatically updates history on reversals, providing auditable traceability and a reliable record for team decision logs.

What is the best way to maintain an audit-friendly history for project retrospectives?

The best way to maintain an audit-friendly history is to write only confirmed final outcomes to history.md. This produces clear, time-stamped entries that serve as a single source of truth, avoiding noise from tentative steps in team workflows.

How do I update a decision log when a previous team decision is reversed?

To update a decision log after a reversal, apply change reconciliation to immediately update history.md with the latest outcome. This ensures the history file reflects the final state rather than the stale initial decision.
