What is the Hoist audit trail?

Account-scoped, append-only audit events and receipts for supported Hoist workflows.

Authenticated account historyLast updated 2026-07-20

The Hoist audit trail is an append-only history of supported workflow events scoped to the authenticated account. Fields depend on the event and evidence that actually exists. Hoist PPSR preview and paid search are currently unavailable, so the trail contains no current successful Hoist PPSR event or AFSA certificate hash.

How integrity works

Where a Hoist evidence object uses an integrity check, it is protected by an internal server-side keyed check (HMAC). That check helps Hoist detect changes when processing the object, but it is not a public signature, a previous-entry hash, or an offline verification service.

How account records are read

GET /v1/receipts/due-diligence returns available audit receipts for the authenticated account. GET /v1/exports/{id} separately retrieves an owner-bound sample export when the current principal owns it. A receipt history and an export artifact are different resources and neither endpoint is a public verifier.

No public chain

Events are not cross-linked or publicly checkpointed. Hoist offers no public or offline verification service and no public record-verification endpoint.

What's recorded

The account receipt projection returns the event metadata its contract documents and omits raw query payloads. It is private account history, not a publishable ledger or an official source certificate.

Related terms

  • Due Diligence Record - An account-scoped receipt for supported Hoist workflow events; it is distinct from an owner-bound export PDF.
  • Search certificate - The official AFSA PDF for a PPSR search run through AFSA; Hoist currently returns none.

How Hoist uses this

Supported tools record only the events their response and audit contract specify. Fixture rows are not represented as live source results, and unavailable PPSR requests do not become completed searches.
