Florian BRUNIAUX d72905e9ba docs: integrate Entire CLI across guide (v3.27.0) 
Major integration of Entire CLI, an agent-native platform launched
Feb 2026 by Thomas Dohmke (ex-GitHub CEO) with $60M funding. Provides
rewindable checkpoints, approval gates, and audit trails for AI sessions.

## Added (7 guide files + 3 meta files)

- **ai-traceability.md**: Replace git-ai 404 with Entire CLI (section 5.1)
- **third-party-tools.md**: Fill "Session replay" gap + add tool section
- **observability.md**: Add session portability alternative
- **ai-ecosystem.md**: Add governance-first orchestration (section 8.1.5)
- **ultimate-guide.md**: Enrich multi-instance section 9.17
- **security-hardening.md**: Add compliance audit trails (section 3.4)
- **cheatsheet.md**: Add Community Tools quick reference
- **README.md**: Update structure tree with third-party-tools mention
- **CHANGELOG.md**: Document v3.27.0 release
- **docs/resource-evaluations/entire-cli.md**: Formal evaluation (5/5)

## Fixed

- git-ai references (404 repo) replaced with working alternative
- "Session replay" Known Gap now marked as ✅ FILLED

## Key Features Documented

- Rewindable checkpoints (prompts + reasoning + tool usage)
- Governance layer (approval gates, permissions, audit trails)
- Multi-agent handoffs (Claude → Gemini with context)
- Compliance-ready (SOC2, HIPAA, FedRAMP)
- Session portability (path-agnostic vs native --resume)

## Positioning

- vs git-ai: Replaces non-existent tool (404)
- vs claude-code-viewer: Active replay vs read-only history
- vs Gas Town: Governance sequential vs parallel coordination

Files modified: 10 (7 content + 3 meta)
Words added: ~2,500
Version: 3.26.0 → 3.27.0
