> This is a method of the [**RunJournal**](../classes/RunJournal) class in the [**journal**](../modules/journal) module.

Append `ev` to the journal (idempotent on `run_id/seq/kind`).

Re-appending the same `(run_id, seq, kind)` — which happens if a
replayed step is (harmlessly) re-journalled — updates the payload
rather than raising, keeping the journal the single source of truth.

## Signature

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
def append(ev: JournalEvent) -> None
```

## Parameters

<ParamField query="ev" type="JournalEvent" required={true}>
  No description available.
</ParamField>

## Uses

* `ValueError`
* `execute`
