Build Week development retrospective
Victoria Trace was built incrementally as one focused vertical slice of the broader Victoria architecture.
During Build Week, the project evolved through these stages:
- An immutable, append-only event ledger
- A deterministic state projector
- A resolver that distinguishes current, superseded, unresolved, and historically incorrect information
- An atomic human-correction workflow that never overwrites earlier revisions
- A stored regression generated from the correction
- A guided terminal proof
- An interactive audit mode for exploring the evidence history
The final implementation contains 168 passing tests and runs locally with Python 3.12+, without an API key, paid runtime service, third-party package, or runtime LLM.
The central idea remained the same throughout development:
Most AI memory systems store what was said. Victoria Trace remembers what is current—and how it became current.
