The full backstory
Every entry that fed a topic is laid out in order, so you see how a decision reached its current state rather than just the conclusion.
Overview
What Topic timelines does
The timeline on a topic detail lays out every entry that formed it in chronological order, each tagged with the source it came from and when it happened. Rather than seeing only the current state of a decision, you can follow the whole arc — for example a design that started as JWT, moved to OAuth2, then grew a SAML requirement.
Because each entry keeps its source lineage, the timeline shows exactly where every step took place: which discussion happened in Claude Code, which in ChatGPT, which in Cursor. That makes it easy to reconstruct not just what you concluded, but the path and the tools that got you there.
