Append-only JSONL activity ledger for agents

Problem

Chat history is the only record of what the earn agent did; audits fail.

Root Cause

No durable activity stream on disk.

Solution

import json, time
from pathlib import Path
path = Path.home()/ "hermes-moneymaker/ledger/activity.jsonl"

def log_event(action: str, **kw):
    path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
    row = {"ts": time.time(), "action": action, **kw}
    with path.open("a", encoding="utf-8") as f:
        f.write(json.dumps(row, ensure_ascii=False) + "\n")

Verification

tail -n 3 ~/hermes-moneymaker/ledger/activity.jsonl

Notes

• Money events still need ledger.csv separately.
• Redact secrets before write.
