Any non trivial coding task requires a conversation between human and ai.
Just have devs commit (or provide however you like) their ai coding sessions.
It then becomes obvious if someone has, or has not, reviewed the code, because then they discussed it.
Bonus points: on very complex tasks, you can more or less resume the conversation, via session files.
Same for schoolwork, research papers, and a lot more.
The conversation is not something to throw away: it is arguably as important as the code in the pr.
I want to suggest you read https://www.amazon.com/Advantage-Disadvantage-History-Hacket...
You can't just remember every conversation and ... something useful.
Indiscriminate memory buries you. What you need is "monumental" memories, which is also known as documentation. AI can be very effective in helping you manage that. That should be kept tight, just like code. You want to keep enough of a record of how you got to where you are that you are equipped to be effective in future tasks.
I would say that your suggestion is basically digital hoarding. Lets say there are 3 kinds of people, the person with OCD who keeps his house almost barren in the name of tidiness, the person who visits his possessions periodically with a critical eye, deciding what to keep and what to throw away, and the hoarder. When it comes time to solve some household problem, say hang a picture, which one of them will have what they need to do it (a hammer and a nail, maybe a little bit of wire) and be able to find it?
I think you might consider keeping the session history for a while, maybe a month or 3 months or 6 months, but have something that automatically deletes them after that.
While I generally agree for general human living, I've seen impressive "digital hoarder" success using AI because it changes the dimensions of reasonableness.
Imagine your hoarder scenario except that the hoarder has unlimited storage space and a team of librarian/warehouse workers to go find and fetch the items needed for the wall hanging task.
AI does not have unlimited storage space and digging through tens of thousands of keyword hits will cost you an unlimited amount of money as your history grows and grows.
