English term or phrase: the wards almost certainly recorded
"Rafe said you saw the master a couple days ago. If you got in then, why do you need us now?"
"Because the wards almost certainly recorded that little visit!" I said impatiently, "They'll be expecting me to try again.

Mi propuesta:—Rafe dijo que viste al maestro hace un par de días. Si tú entraste entonces, ¿para qué nos necesitas ahora?
—¡Porque la custodia casi graba esa pequeña visita! —le dije impacientemente—. Están esperando a que vuelva a intentarlo

los guardias seguramente registraron esa pequeña visita


Explanation:
o "porque lo más seguro es que los guardias hayan registrado esa pequeña visita"

No te pongo "casi seguramente" porque no se usa en español y te quedaría una prosa media contrahecha.

Suerte!

porque es casi seguro que los guardias grabaron la corta visita


Explanation:
a no ser, por supuesto, que en este caso "record" no se refiera a "grabar" si no a "registrar"... las 2 opciones podrian ser validas en un contexto que involucre prisioneros y guardias... la exactitud dependeria del resto de la historia...
