# VuedaHistoryMiddleware

## Overview

Record stable request metadata on the pghistory context.

pghistory's own middleware records the acting user and the request path. VUEDA adds the request
method, which is what separates a create from an update or a delete when one action writes to
several tables, and the action kind ``request``, which separates a request from a task or a
command once the events are read back.

This decides what VUEDA records, not what the history API exposes.
