Part 2 of 9, stacked on the previous part. Its diff is only this change.

CHANGELOG

  • Usage counts now include the tokens Claude Code spends on compacting a conversation.

Weight: a few additions per Claude Code result; no new module, nothing at start-up.

Checks: typecheck clean at this head; the full suite passed on the top of the stack (16240 pass).

MendCode review

1 finding · 🟠 1 major
head 10522364eda5

Merge risk: 🟡 Medium · Usage accounting becomes stateful across results and depends on process lifetime and message routing. Regressions affect recorded token totals rather than execution, while the existing event schema remains compatible.
Change: Bug fix · Review effort: 2/5, about 15 minutes

This change recovers Claude Code compaction tokens from cumulative process usage while preserving the existing usage-event schema. Review found that compaction on the first turn of a process still goes uncounted, including supported restart and bridged-turn paths; the supplied performance measurements show no increase above noise. The three code files initially supplied as reader summaries were inspected directly in relevant spans, along with the changelog; tests were not run in this read-only review.
Readers: 3 files went to readers instead of the review pass whole: 3 code files by gpt-6-luna (the review pass gets their summaries and the hunks of their risk spots; 1 call, up to 3 at once, 10,308 tokens counted). Their summaries are hints, not findings. 1 code file no reader could read went to the review pass whole (the reader gave no usable answer for this file).
Stacked on #128: only this pull request's own commits since #128's head 2c95e59.

Finding Where
🟠 Compaction spend is discarded on the first result of every process 8/10 packages/engine-claude/src/protocol.ts:632-634
Walkthrough

Claude Code reports compaction work in cumulative per-model totals even when it omits that work from the turn's usage. This change tracks those totals per process and adds positive differences to usage for turns that receive a compaction boundary. Discarded results advance the baseline to avoid attributing their work to a later turn; public usage events and stored schemas remain unchanged.

Compaction spend is discarded on the first result of every process

The new calculation requires a previous spend mark, but every process starts with spendMark: {}. Consequently, a first-turn compaction emits only result.usage, which is zero for the manual-compaction fixture, even when modelUsage reports the compaction's tokens. This is not limited to a new conversation: compact() explicitly supports restarting a saved conversation, idle shutdown and model changes reopen processes, and bridged turns normally start a fresh process for each turn. Automatic compaction during those first turns is likewise omitted. Establish the appropriate initial accounting baseline so that a prior result is not required to count compaction. The added first-result test does not expose this because its turn usage already equals its cumulative usage.

packages/engine-claude/src/protocol.ts:632-634 (major, correctness): Compaction spend is discarded on the first result of every process
The new calculation requires a previous spend mark, but every process starts with `spendMark: {}`. Consequently, a first-turn compaction emits only `result.usage`, which is zero for the manual-compaction fixture, even when `modelUsage` reports the compaction's tokens. This is not limited to a new conversation: `compact()` explicitly supports restarting a saved conversation, idle shutdown and model changes reopen processes, and bridged turns normally start a fresh process for each turn. Automatic compaction during those first turns is likewise omitted. Establish the appropriate initial accounting baseline so that a prior result is not required to count compaction. The added first-result test does not expose this because its turn usage already equals its cumulative usage.

Fixed in ea9f964 (top of the stack, part 9): a process's first result counts from a zero baseline, so a compaction in that turn is included; test added for a first-turn compaction.
