Attribution

Orca tracks provenance on every line it sees an agent touch, so when you read a diff you can tell at a glance which lines were written by a human and which came from an AI.

How it works

When an agent writes to a file through its tooling, Orca records the ranges. The diff viewer renders AI-originated lines with a subtle marker in the gutter. Human edits on top of AI code flip the attribution back to human.

Why it matters

  • You know which parts of a PR deserve extra scrutiny.
  • Security and compliance audits can separate AI-written from human-written code.
  • Reviews get faster — you don't re-read code you just wrote by hand.

Scope

Attribution is local to Orca — it doesn't get committed to git. If you want persistent attribution, export the diff metadata from the diff toolbar.
