Report first
Try a daily or weekly report right after install, even in conversation only. Without accumulated records, use git for limited coverage and mark the evidence boundary.
Say “wrap up” to keep the durable facts. Generate daily, weekly, and monthly reports when you need them. When the work is questioned later, replay why a choice was made.

codex plugin add tracework@traceworkPublic namespace: tracework. Records stay in your own local vault. You can try reports first, then set up durable storage.
install -> try: write weekly / write daily
-> configure vault and project groups when you want multi-day memory
-> wrap up after key sessions
-> query / recall only when questioned or resumingProjects can declare a reporting group such as work or personal. Reports filter scope before selecting headlines, so personal projects never displace or leak into workplace output. A private all view keeps each group in a separate lane.
Tracework is not a meeting-notes tool, approval workflow, performance packaging layer, generic office suite, or employee-monitoring surface. Activity volume is coverage, not proof of outcomes. When the record is thin, Tracework exposes the gap instead of inventing history.
