The architectural-layer position for AI audit infrastructure.
A canonical coordinate for a discrete, composable audit layer that sits within AI system architectures — not a bolt-on, but a first-class structural component.
Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical
'Audit layer' names the architectural move: treating audit as a named layer in the AI system stack, not an afterthought. The layer framing signals composability — that audit can be inserted, upgraded, and managed independently. On .ai it stakes this in the agent-era TLD where autonomous systems demand exactly this kind of architectural accountability.
