What is a bi-temporal record? I don’t think I’ve heard the term before and I’d love to learn more.

IIUC, the most basic version is when you have a log where every entry has both “date added” and “effective date,” so you can add stuff to the log retroactively. For example, “the user just informed us yesterday that they moved last year” -> address date added=yesterday, date effective=last year
