Context Trace: Know What Your AI Knew
Every AI-made version in a chapter's History carries a Trace button. One click shows exactly what Inkloom knew when it created that version: the model, the prompt template and its version, the timestamp, and every context item with whether it was always included or retrieved by relevance.
Why this is hard
Long manuscripts have problems that short documents do not.
When AI generates text, you have no idea what information it was working with. Did it see the previous chapter? Did it know about the character's injury? Did it have the voice rules? You are trusting output without knowing the input.
AI context is invisible. You get a result and you either trust it or you do not. There is no way to verify that the model had the right information, and no way to debug why a draft went wrong if it did not.
Every AI-made version in a chapter's History carries a Trace button. One click shows exactly what Inkloom knew when it created that version: the model, the prompt template and its version, the timestamp, and every context item with whether it was always included or retrieved by relevance. You can see the blueprint, outline summary, brief, adjacent chapter summaries, voice rules, canonical facts, and semantically retrieved material, all listed with how each was included.
You can always see exactly which context produced a draft. If a draft is wrong, you can check whether the relevant context was included. If it was not, you know why. If it was, the model failed and you can retry or edit manually.
What other Inkloom features interact with it
Chapter Editor
A real rich-text manuscript editor with autosave, full version history, focus mode, find and replace, VS Code-style keyboard shortcuts, a context menu with AI actions, and section-level operations. AI proposals arrive as side-by-side diffs. Your text is never overwritten.
Continuity
Facts are extracted from your chapters into structured records with fact types, entity labels, confidence percentages, and source passages. Proposed facts promote to canonical with one click. Conflicts become cards. Nothing is ever silently resolved.
Version History
Chapter content is append-only versioned. Every edit creates a new version. Restoring creates a new version pointing at old content. Compare any two versions side by side. AI-made versions are labeled. Nothing is ever overwritten or deleted.
