Module llm_trace 

LLM / embedding HTTP call tracing.

Every chat (distill) and embedding request flows through llm::post_json_retry, which calls record once per call with the final outcome. Traces are appended as JSONL to ~/.innate/logs/llm_trace.log (size-capped with single-file rotation) so any process — MCP, CLI, evolve — contributes automatically, failures included.

Design notes:

• Never logs the API key. Only the request body is captured; the Authorization header is not passed in and is never recorded.
• Request/response bodies are truncated to keep the log bounded.
• Disable entirely with INNATE_LLM_TRACE=0.

Functions

read_recent

Read the most recent trace entries (newest first) for the web viewer. Optional exact-match filters on kind (“chat”/“embedding”) and status. Read-only.

record

Record one LLM/embedding call outcome. Best-effort: tracing failures never affect the caller (the LLM call result is returned regardless).
