ADR-008 — Do Not Store Full Agent Telemetry Permanently

Runtime logs and traces expire unless they carry durable engineering value.

Status

Accepted

Context

Full telemetry is noisy, costly, and may expose sensitive implementation detail.

Decision

Retain operational telemetry for its useful lifetime. Promote selected provenance, decisions, and findings into durable Events or knowledge.

Consequences

The durable record stays useful, but promotion needs a clear review path.
