# Timeline
> Unified event timeline service with HLC-ordered queries, critical path analysis, and deterministic replay.
## Purpose
Timeline is the query and presentation layer for cross-service event correlation and auditing. It provides Hybrid Logical Clock (HLC)-ordered event queries, critical path analysis for latency diagnosis, and deterministic replay capabilities. Timeline reads events that have been indexed by the separate TimelineIndexer module, serving as the read-side of the event timeline infrastructure.

## Status
| Attribute | Value |
|-------------|---------------------|
| **Maturity** | Production |
| **Source** | `src/Timeline/` |
## Key Features
- HLC-based causal event ordering
- Correlation ID queries
- Critical path analysis (latency stages)
- Service-filtered timeline views
- Event export and deterministic replay
## Dependencies
### Upstream
- Eventing infrastructure (StellaOps.Eventing) - event storage and indexing
- HybridLogicalClock library - causal timestamp generation and comparison
### Downstream
- Platform - timeline views for operator dashboards
- CLI - event query commands
- Web - timeline UI components
- Replay - deterministic replay of event sequences
> **Note:** Timeline is the query/presentation service. TimelineIndexer (separate module) handles event ingestion and indexing. They are independently deployable services.
