I can see their point.

Traditional systems (git blame, review history, ticket links) tell you who committed or approved changes, but not whether the content originated from an AI agent, which model it used, or what prompt/context produced it.

Agent Trace is aiming to standardize that missing layer so different tools can read/write it consistently.

> We're proposing an open standard for tracing agent conversations to the code they generate. It's interoperable with any coding agent or interface.
