# Consent

Security toolkit for managing consent records — generate tokens, check strength, rotate credentials, audit logs, store and retrieve entries, manage policies, and produce compliance reports. All data stays local.

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `consent generate <input>` | Generate a new entry and log it |
| `consent check-strength <input>` | Check strength of a given input and record the result |
| `consent rotate <input>` | Rotate a credential or token and log the change |
| `consent audit <input>` | Record an audit entry for compliance tracking |
| `consent store <input>` | Store a value securely in the local data log |
| `consent retrieve <input>` | Retrieve a previously stored value |
| `consent expire <input>` | Mark an entry as expired |
| `consent policy <input>` | Record or update a policy entry |
| `consent report <input>` | Generate a report entry for review |
| `consent hash <input>` | Hash a value and store the result |
| `consent verify <input>` | Verify a value against stored records |
| `consent revoke <input>` | Revoke a previously granted consent or credential |
| `consent stats` | Show summary statistics: entry counts, data size, first activity date |
| `consent export <fmt>` | Export all data in `json`, `csv`, or `txt` format |
| `consent search <term>` | Search across all logs for a keyword |
| `consent recent` | Show the 20 most recent activity entries |
| `consent status` | Health check: version, data dir, entry count, disk usage, last activity |
| `consent help` | Show help with all available commands |
| `consent version` | Show current version |

### Command Behavior

- **With arguments**: Each command logs the input with a timestamp to its own dedicated log file (e.g., `generate.log`, `audit.log`)
- **Without arguments**: Each command displays the 20 most recent entries from its log file

## Data Storage

- Default data directory: `~/.local/share/consent/`
- Per-command logs: `$DATA_DIR/<command>.log` (e.g., `generate.log`, `audit.log`, `store.log`)
- History log: `$DATA_DIR/history.log` — master timeline of all activity
- Export files: `$DATA_DIR/export.<fmt>` — generated by the `export` command
- All data is local plain-text. No network calls, no cloud sync.

## Requirements

- Bash 4+ (uses `set -euo pipefail`)
- No external dependencies or API keys required
- Works entirely offline — your data stays on your machine

## When to Use

1. **Tracking consent and compliance** — Record who consented to what and when with `store`, `audit`, and `policy` for a simple compliance trail
2. **Credential rotation logging** — Use `rotate` and `expire` to log when credentials were changed or invalidated
3. **Security auditing** — Run `audit` entries and pull `report` data to review security posture over time
4. **Exporting compliance data** — Use `export json` or `export csv` to produce machine-readable records for external auditing tools
5. **Quick lookups and verification** — Search across all logs with `search` or verify specific entries with `verify` and `hash`

## Examples

```bash
# Store a consent record
consent store "user:alice accepted terms-of-service v2.1"

# Audit a policy change
consent audit "updated data retention policy to 90 days"

# Generate a new token entry
consent generate "api-key-prod-2025"

# Rotate a credential and log it
consent rotate "db-password-main rotated"

# Check strength of a passphrase
consent check-strength "my-complex-passphrase-2025!"

# Export all data as JSON
consent export json

# Search across all logs
consent search "alice"

# View summary statistics
consent stats

# Health check
consent status

# Show recent activity
consent recent
```

## How It Works

Each domain command (generate, audit, store, etc.) maintains its own log file in the data directory. Entries are stored as `timestamp|value` lines. The `stats` command aggregates counts across all log files. The `export` command merges all logs into a single file in your chosen format. Every action is also recorded in `history.log` as a master audit trail.

## Tips

- Run any command without arguments to see its recent entries — great for quick review
- Use `consent recent` to see a timeline of all activity across all commands
- Pipe exports to other tools: `consent export csv && cat ~/.local/share/consent/export.csv | head`
- Combine `search` with grep for complex queries: `consent search "2025" | grep "policy"`
- Run `consent help` at any time for the full command reference
