Audit Trail for AI Chatbots and Agents

CityDesk keeps a tamper-evident, append-only audit trail so municipal staff can see what actions occurred, when, and by whom. It records activity such as user/admin actions, AI conversation activity, knowledge base access, retention setting changes, legal hold events, and retention deletions, with configurable retention and export options to support audits, investigations, and public records responses.
