  "account": "Chron is a new AI governance platform designed to address the lack of visibility that developers experience when using AI coding tools like Claude, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot. This platform creates a tamper-evident, locally-stored audit trail of every session, including messages, tool calls, and code changes. Users can install Chron using npm install -g chron-mcp and it will automatically start recording sessions with any MCP-compatible tool. Chron is evolving from a simple session logger into a full AI actions recorder, providing message logging, tool call recording, code change tracking, secret detection, and Ed25519 signing for tamper-evidence. Additionally, Chron generates evidence packages for compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and integrates with SIEM systems like Splunk and Azure Sentinel. The platform is still developing, with plans for a centralized dashboard, policy enforcement integration, anomaly alerting, and automated audit report scheduling. Chron has already gained 8,000 downloads since its release, indicating a strong demand for this type of AI governance solution.",

No one could answer: What did the AI actually do? What prompts were sent? What code was changed? Were any secrets exposed? For developers, this didn't matter much. For a CISO or a compliance officer trying to prepare a SOC…",
