I built a black box recorder for AI systems – CEL v0.2 Pro

The problem
Modern AI agents make decisions, call tools, and run complex pipelines — but their logs are mutable JSON files. You can’t prove what actually happened.
CEL (Colchis Execution Log) is a cryptographically verifiable execution log for AI systems. Every event is recorded as a SHA‑256 hash‑chained binary frame. Any tampering breaks the chain immediately. Think Git — but for AI execution history.
python3 cli.py proof mylog.log
python3 cli.py verify-proof mylog.log mylog.log.proof.json
# → ✅ Proof VALID
Share one file to prove your AI ran exactly this way — independently verifiable by third parties.
Features
- ✅ SHA‑256 hash chain — tamper‑evident
- ✅ Execution Proof generator
- ✅ CLI tool (init, append, verify, dump, export, proof)
- ✅ Web interface (Flask)
- ✅ Export to CSV and PDF
- ✅ Compliance‑ready — EU AI Act, GDPR, HIPAA
- ✅ Zero cloud dependency — works fully offline
