Summary

Implements #972. Cost was computed in four places, and which place answered depended on
which plugins an operator enabled — which is how a live abctl view showed rows with token
counts and no money, while the same requests carried dollars in /v1/usage.

Three layers, one job each:

layer job where
parsers wire → facts: tokens, model, the gateway's reported cost inference-parser
costing facts + rates → one settled figure, once authlib/costing (new)
consumers act on it budget enforces, usage records, abctl displays

Why inference-parser owns costing

Not taste — three things the code settled:

  • It is the only component that knows when usage is FINAL. It owns the three
    response-finalization paths and the assembled-usage handling for Claude Code's
    ?beta=true shape (cache counts arrive on message_delta, not message_start). Costing
    anywhere else duplicates that assembly or races it.
  • Cost can no longer be missing while tokens are present. No parser means no tokens, so
    nothing to price and nothing to explain. Previously the figure came from
    litellm-budget-track, so a pipeline without it silently turned every cost into a modelled
    one — the same field changing meaning by configuration.
  • Consumers already declare the dependency. plugins/registry.go:342-360 documents
    RequiresLater as a hard AND with ordering: the pipeline refuses to build without the
    parser, and the response pass runs in reverse, so the parser settles before any consumer
    looks.

The gateway header semantics and the arithmetic live in authlib/costing, not in the parser —
a provider-shaped body parser has no business knowing one gateway's header names.

Key changes:

  • litellm-budget-track keeps the ledger, the cap and the drift warning, and stops
    computing money.
    It is no longer a pricing consumer at all. Drift now reads both figures
    off the settled outcome instead of recomputing the modelled half: a check that re-derives
    its own input is comparing its own arithmetic.
  • tool-prune stops carrying rates and loses its resolver. Its own comment had the
    diagnosis right — the dollar amount depends on which prompt-cache tier the saving came out
    of, and only the response reveals that — and the wrong remedy. The money step belongs where
    both halves are in hand. Dropping the resolver also removes the nil-interface trap that once
    silently stopped pruning: a nil pricing.Resolver panics on call and the plugin's fail-open
    swallowed it.
  • abctl stops doing arithmetic. It held a rate table's worth of assumptions, applied them
    to base-tier rates that were wrong past a long-context threshold, and could disagree with the
    server after a hot reload swapped the table between the event and the render.
  • pricing.EstimateTokensFromBytes / AvoidedUsage carry the bytes→tokens calibration and
    the tier choice, named Estimate because that is what it is — the ratio is per-request, so it
    is wrong when the removed span had a different token density from what remained, and that
    caveat now sits on the function whose output gets quoted in dollars.

Wire shape

  • costevent.Key = "cost" names the concern, not the producer — which is what let the
    producer move at all. The framework set that precedent itself: pipeline/context.go
    publishes body-mutation from the core "because a switch of plugin names in a future
    refactor shouldn't break operators' dashboards". Both keys are written and read; the legacy
    write comes out a release later, because abctl is a separate binary that can lag the proxy.
  • Record() / Priced() split presence from pricedness. Decode conflated them, so a
    record with no usable figure was indistinguishable from no record — and a saving on a request
    the table cannot price is exactly the one worth showing.
  • prompt_usd carries the prompt-only modelled figure a request row needs; a breakdown,
    never a component of a sum.
  • avoided[] holds counterfactual cost per component, with estimated and projected
    flags. Nothing in it is spend.

One behaviour change beyond the move

A gateway-declared zero now publishes a settled zero on the buffered OnResponse path too.
Previously only the frame path did, so a listener's choice of hook changed the reported cost.
Both paths are now asserted.

Testing

  • The SSE equivalence tests keep their recorded costs and now drive the real parser with
    a real rate table — which is what makes them a proof that nobody's bill changed.
  • abctl's cell tests keep their exact expected strings (681,300(−9.9k),
    $0.2633(−$0.0038)) and now read those figures off the record: same rendered output, one
    owner.
  • authlib/usage asserts totals are invariant to avoided — two identical records, one
    carrying $999.99 of avoided cost, must produce identical CostMicros and PricedRequests.
    That guards the single line in the codebase that sums money.
  • authlib/costing covers the precedence rule directly: header wins, -original is the
    charged cost, a stream's zero falls back, a declared zero suppresses the fallback, an
    unusable header falls back, a nil resolver is unpriced not a panic.
  • tool-prune asserts the field names costing reads structurally — rename
    bytesRemoved and the saving silently becomes zero in a figure operators read as money.
  • plugins/deps_test.go now asserts the inverse of what it did: the parser IS a pricing
    consumer and the budget plugin is not.

go vet clean across every module. golangci-lint --new-from-rev=upstream/main: 0 issues.
pre-commit passes. The one cmd/abctl failure
(TestRunExec_BeforeFirstStartRunsAndSaysWhatIsLost) reproduces on a clean worktree of
upstream/main — it leaks the developer's real SSL_CERT_FILE bundle into the child.

@huang195 huang195 changed the title 🌱 Key the cost record on the concern, not the producer Feat: Key the cost record on the concern, not the producer Sep 11, 2026
…pricedness

Phase 1 of rossoctl#972, which aggregates cost computation into one owner. Read-side
only: no behaviour change, and nothing writes the new key yet.

The session-event key was the producing PLUGIN's name, pinned by a test to
litellm-budget-track.Name(). That one constant is what made moving costing to
the component that actually knows the tokens a breaking wire change — for live
consumers and for every event already written to a session store. Keyed on the
concern ("cost"), the producer can move and no consumer notices.

The framework already set this precedent and stated the reason: the core
publishes "body-mutation" from pipeline/context.go, which is not a plugin at
all, because "a switch of plugin names in a future refactor shouldn't break
operators' dashboards". pipeline/snapshot.go never required the key to be a
plugin name.

Decode now reads the new key first and falls back to the legacy one. New wins
when both are present: a transitional deployment can run an old producer beside
a new one, and taking the legacy value there would report the figure from the
component being retired.

Also splits two questions Decode conflated. It returns false — indistinguishable
from "no record" — when the cost is an unsettled zero, so a consumer could not
reach a real record's other fields. That matters for the next phase: the same
record is about to carry avoided cost, and a request that could NOT be priced is
exactly the one whose savings figure is most interesting, yet under Decode's rule
it would vanish entirely. Record() answers presence, Priced() is the predicate
Decode applies, named once and asserted to agree with it.

Nothing writes Key yet, deliberately: readers ship first. Phase 2 moves the
producer to inference-parser and will dual-write both keys, because abctl is a
separate binary that can lag the proxy — flipping the write before every reader
understands both keys would blank the cost column for anyone running an older
abctl.

Two additive leaves for rossoctl#972.

costevent.Event gains Avoided []Saving: cost that was NOT incurred. A nested
list rather than sibling floats of CostUSD, because more counterfactuals are
coming (compaction, redaction, "what a cheaper model would have cost") and as
flat fields the record becomes half-real and half-hypothetical — which is how
someone eventually sums two fields that must never be summed. The invariant is
stated on the type: nothing in Avoided is spend. TotalAvoidedUSD exists so
consumers do not each write the loop and disagree about whether observe-mode
figures count; they do not, because a projected saving is money that WAS spent.

pricing.EstimateTokensFromBytes carries the calibration rule that currently
lives in abctl's TUI, named Estimate because that is what it is: the ratio is
this request's own promptTokens-over-bytes-sent, so it is sound when the removed
span had the same token density as what remained and wrong when it did not. That
caveat now sits on the function rather than being rediscovered, because its
output gets quoted in dollars. AvoidedUsage places the saving in the single tier
the prompt landed in, beside PromptTier, since the tiers differ by 12.5x and
that choice is the whole substance of the figure.

…n it

Implements rossoctl#972. Cost was computed in four places and WHICH place answered
depended on which plugins were enabled — which is how a live abctl view showed
rows with token counts and no money while the same requests carried dollars in
/v1/usage.

Three layers, one job each:

  parsers    wire → facts (tokens, model, the gateway's reported cost)
  costing    facts + rates → one settled figure, once  (authlib/costing)
  consumers  act on it: budget enforces, usage records, abctl displays

inference-parser owns costing, rather than the pipeline runtime, for three
reasons the code settled rather than taste:

  - It is the only component that knows when usage is FINAL. It owns the three
    response-finalization paths and the assembled-usage handling for Claude
    Code's ?beta=true shape. Costing anywhere else duplicates that or races it.
  - Cost can no longer be missing while tokens are present. No parser means no
    tokens, so nothing to price and nothing to explain.
  - Consumers already declare the dependency. RequiresLater is documented in
    plugins/registry.go as a hard AND with ordering, so the pipeline refuses to
    build without the parser; the response pass runs in reverse, so the parser
    settles before any consumer looks.

The gateway header semantics and the arithmetic live in authlib/costing, not in
the parser: a provider-shaped body parser has no business knowing one gateway's
header names.

litellm-budget-track keeps the ledger, the cap and the drift warning, and stops
computing money. It is no longer a pricing consumer. Drift now reads BOTH
figures off the settled outcome instead of recomputing the modelled half — a
check that re-derives its own input is comparing its own arithmetic.

tool-prune stops carrying rates on its event and loses its resolver entirely.
Its own comment had the diagnosis right — the dollar amount depends on which
prompt-cache tier the saving came out of, which only the response reveals — and
the wrong remedy: the money step belongs where both halves are in hand, not in
every consumer. Dropping the resolver also removes the nil-interface trap that
once silently stopped pruning, since a nil pricing.Resolver panics on call and
the plugin's fail-open swallowed it.

abctl stops doing arithmetic. It held a rate table's worth of assumptions,
applied them to base-tier rates that were wrong past a long-context threshold,
and could disagree with the server after a hot reload swapped the table between
the event and the render. The rendered cells are byte-identical — the cell tests
kept their exact expected strings and now read the figures off the record.

Wire shape:

  - costevent.Key = "cost" names the CONCERN, not the producer, so the producer
    could move at all. Both keys are written and read; the legacy write comes
    out a release later because abctl is a separate binary that can lag.
  - Record()/Priced() split presence from pricedness. Decode conflated them, so
    a record with no usable figure was indistinguishable from no record — and
    the saving on a request the table cannot price is exactly the one worth
    showing.
  - prompt_usd carries the prompt-only modelled figure a request row needs.
  - avoided[] holds counterfactual cost, per component, with estimated and
    projected flags. Nothing in it is spend, and a test in authlib/usage
    asserts the aggregator's totals are invariant to its presence.

One behaviour change beyond the move: a gateway-declared zero now publishes a
settled zero on the buffered OnResponse path too. Previously only the frame path
did, so a listener's choice of hook changed the reported cost. Called out with a
test for both paths.

Verification: the SSE equivalence tests keep their recorded costs and now drive
the real parser with a real rate table, which is what makes them a proof that
nobody's bill changed. go vet clean across every module; authlib and abctl green
apart from the pre-existing TestRunExec_BeforeFirstStartRunsAndSaysWhatIsLost,
which reproduces on a clean worktree of upstream/main.

Read-side refactor lands cleanly: the new "cost" key decodes, the legacy key still decodes, the new key wins when both are present, and splitting presence from pricedness lets phase 2's avoided-cost figures survive on requests that couldn't be priced. Confirmed independently that no existing consumer breaks.

Non-blocking: for Key to appear in e.Plugins["cost"], the phase-2 producer has to write Custom["cost"+PluginEventSuffix] (snapshot.go strips the suffix). A one-line pointer at the suffix convention here would save the phase-2 author from rediscovering it.

Remove the LiteLLM-only budget limitation.

inference-parser can settle a usage-fallback cost when the gateway header is absent and a rate resolves. litellm-budget-track consumes that settled record. Raw OpenAI, Ollama, and vLLM traffic can therefore accumulate spend and trip the budget when pricing is available. Keep the limitation only for traffic with no usable settled cost.

…it goes

Two review items on rossoctl#973.

The dual key write is for an abctl older than the rename, but the CURRENT abctl
reads the current key — and filterForDetail only allowlists the nested
inference/mcp/a2a objects and deletes identity, so every other plugin key passes
straight through. A priced row therefore rendered `cost` and
`litellm-budget-track` side by side with byte-identical contents, giving an
operator two names for one object and no way to tell which is authoritative.

The legacy block is now dropped from the VIEW when the current key is present.
The wire write stays, so an older abctl still finds cost, and yankEventToFile
still marshals the event itself — the yanked file holds exactly what crossed the
wire, which is the same split this function already makes for identity one line
down. A lone legacy record (an older PROXY) still renders; there is a test for
each direction.

costing.Record built a record while costevent.Record reads one, in two packages
that are imported together: the cost owner imports costing, every consumer
imports costevent. Two functions with one name pointing opposite ways is a coin
flip at each call site. Renamed to costing.NewRecord, where the prefix says
which way it goes.

…ing a tier

Review pass on rossoctl#973. Two of these are money-correctness, and one was
pre-existing rather than introduced here.

Projected savings were being added to the realized `$ saved` total. In observe
mode SetBody is a no-op — those bytes went upstream and were billed — so the
figure reported money that WAS spent as money that was not. It reaches the metric
through OnFinish, which had the flag in hand and dropped it. Projected dollars
and tokens now go to their own rows ("$ would save", "tokens would save") with a
note saying the money was spent, and the realized rows carry neither. Not a
regression from this PR: OnFinish computed and recorded the same blend before,
but this PR's own Saving type documents the invariant, so it gets fixed here.

An unrecognized tier was defaulted to input, which contradicted the comment
immediately above it and would have misattributed the tokens by up to 12.5x while
rendering as a real input saving. The tier is now passed as a pointer, nil when
it cannot be established, and lands in a "tier unknown" row.

A settled-zero call read TotalSpend without rolling the ledger date first, so a
request that starts before midnight UTC and settles after it stamped yesterday's
total onto today's first event — and a free call is a plausible first request of
a day, since a cache hit costs nothing. resetIfNewDay now runs under the lock as
accumulate already did. Mutation-checked: removing the call fails the new test
with 4.2 where 0 is wanted.

Settle can produce a prompt figure while the total stays unpriced — a table that
prices every prompt tier but not a populated output tier does exactly that — and
the publish gate dropped the record in that case, losing a figure a request row
can legitimately show. HasPrompt is now part of the gate.

On the estimated-savings marker: the flag was not being dropped by accident.
Precision is already the marker — an estimated saving renders compact because
trailing digits would be false precision, which the formatter documents — and
"~" already means projected, so a third glyph on 100% of today's rows would
distinguish nothing. The flag is now threaded through so a saving COUNTED by a
tokenizer renders exact instead, making the existing convention explicit and
tested rather than incidental.

Docs: a record is not a price. The catalog claimed cost can never be missing when
tokens are present; where no rate resolves the record still publishes, with token
counts, any avoided cost, and no dollar figure, and the gap is named in
/v1/usage's unpricedBy. Also named the PluginEventSuffix convention on
costevent.Key, so the next producer does not rediscover that Publish exists.
