# Gaia 2.9 — Audit Trail and Accountability at Scale

AI products need more than fast iteration.
They need a reliable record of what changed, who changed it, and why.

With **Gaia 2.9**, audit trail coverage becomes comprehensive and actionable.

## The Problem: Accountability Was Fragmented

Teams often struggled with:

- scattered change history,
- limited visibility across modules,
- and weak compliance reporting.

Gaia 2.9 consolidates change tracking into a single, dependable system.

## End-to-End Audit Trail

**What shipped**

Gaia 2.9 expands audit logging across **projects, conversations, evaluations, and delivery** workflows.

**Why this matters**

End-to-end logging turns activity into evidence.
It gives teams:

- traceability for decisions,
- defensible compliance records,
- and clear ownership when issues arise.

## Filters, Search, and Export

**What shipped**

Audit entries now support richer filtering and export options, making it easier to answer “who did what, when.”

**Why this matters**

Compliance workflows depend on fast retrieval.
Filtering and export make audits usable during reviews, not just after them.

---

## Conversations, Evals, and Delivery in One Timeline

**What shipped**

Audit trail coverage now aligns the full lifecycle: conversation changes, evaluation runs, and delivery evidence.

**Why this matters**

When everything is connected, teams can:

- reconstruct outcomes,
- validate governance controls,
- and reduce operational blind spots.

## Looking Ahead

The next release deepens operational control with task management, timesheets, and expanded evaluation workflows.

Gaia 2.9 makes accountability visible. **The next release makes it operational.**
