## What it is
Tenet is an IDA Pro plugin for exploring and navigating execution traces of binaries. It provides a timeline widget and bidirectional execution trails to help reverse engineers step forward and backward through collected traces.

## Use cases
- explore execution traces of a binary in IDA Pro
- step forward and backward through an execution trace
- visualize execution flow trails in a disassembler
- analyze complex execution patterns during reverse engineering
- load externally collected text traces into IDA
- zoom into specific sections of a trace timeline

## When to choose
- you use IDA Pro 7.5+ and need to navigate execution traces interactively
- you want a dependency-free Python plugin for trace exploration
- you need bidirectional time-travel debugging visualization in a disassembler

## When to avoid
- you don't use IDA Pro as your disassembler
- you need to collect traces rather than just explore them
- you need support for complex trace formats beyond simple text traces
