Lotor now records every step an agent takes on your machine, down to the reasoning behind it. You can replay a run, or start at the result and walk it back to see what actually worked and what was a dead end. Then you share it as a signed cartridge and only show what you choose. It’s for anyone using agents to reverse engineer software or build on someone else’s work who needs to show how it got done.

Could you build this?

Partial Signed, shareable run cartridges and a replay UI are buildable, but recording agent reasoning and steps across many tools and harnesses requires per-agent instrumentation that is harder to get right than the UI.

What it would actually take: Build a local daemon or proxy that intercepts agent tool calls, model I/O, and file changes, then stores them in an append-only event log. Add a replay viewer, and sign exports with a standard scheme like Ed25519 for shareable cartridges. The hard part is reliable capture across many agent frameworks with different internals, plus a redaction model so users only share what they choose. This is a solid engineering project, not a research problem.
