Summary

The spec requires that all resource modifications are logged in the audit trail. The AuditEventSubscriber is registered to handle RESOURCE_MODIFIED events, but the tool execution framework never emits this event. As a result, file writes performed by plan execution are never recorded in the audit log.

Spec Reference

From the Security & Safety specification:

Audit logging — all actions logged with timestamps and user context

The VALID_EVENT_TYPES in audit_service.py includes "resource_modified", and the spec (§Audit Logging SEC7) requires this event to be recorded when resources are modified.

Expected Behavior

When a plan execution modifies a file (via the sandbox), a resource_modified audit event should be emitted with:

plan_id: the plan that caused the modification
project_name: the project being modified
actor_name: the actor that performed the modification
details: the file path(s) modified

Actual Behavior

The AuditEventSubscriber code explicitly notes this gap:

# NOTE: RESOURCE_MODIFIED has no producing service yet — the tool
# execution framework does not emit this event.  The subscriber handler
# is intentionally registered so that audit entries are automatically
# created once tool-write event emission is implemented.
EventType.RESOURCE_MODIFIED: "resource_modified",

No code in the tool execution pipeline emits EventType.RESOURCE_MODIFIED. Searching the codebase confirms there are no callers that emit this event type.

Code Locations

src/cleveragents/application/services/audit_event_subscriber.py — subscriber registered but event never emitted
src/cleveragents/infrastructure/sandbox/copy_on_write.py — commit() applies file changes but does not emit RESOURCE_MODIFIED
src/cleveragents/infrastructure/sandbox/git_worktree.py — commit() applies git changes but does not emit RESOURCE_MODIFIED

Impact

Security auditors cannot determine which files were modified during plan execution from the audit log alone. This is a compliance gap for the spec-required audit trail.
