Problem

Usage summaries wait for transcript-history scans before displaying totals already saved on disk. Large histories can leave the page waiting even when cached records are available.

Change

Return saved transcript records and saved prices for the client's first request, mark them as refreshing, then use the existing awaited request to show current totals. Reuse the existing retention and deduplication path, and keep pricing metadata paired with the rates used for each summary.

Preserves @hieu-lee's original commit and merges current main. The final diff is five files (+164/-14). The independent parser optimization and concurrent manual pricing refresh were removed; parsing and manual refresh match main.

Verification

  • Cached-read regression reproduced against main, then passed with the fix.
  • Blacksmith vp run check:changed aa11ef6783da81039e6646e2e96941748afb358e: format, lint, both knip passes, generated GraphQL checks, 32 package typechecks and 72 tests passed.
  • Real Chrome client: 30-day, 7-day and 24-hour windows, manual refresh, and 390px viewport. Saved and fresh websocket replies contain identical totals. Two independent code reviews approved the current head with no findings.
  • Unverified: native mobile, Electron, relay/tunnel, and large-history latency. The captures use the same frozen real Codex history and saved prices; they do not establish a measured speedup. Non-transcript readers retain their existing behavior.

Evidence

Before (main service) and after use matching data. The short recording exercises window switches and manual refresh.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — This PR changes the default usage-summary flow to show cached totals first and defer transcript-history scanning, while also changing manual refresh and large-line parsing behavior. Because this is a user-visible product-default change that gates substantial runtime work, it requires human review.

Walkthrough

scanSummary now captures pricing metadata before creating its aggregator and uses that snapshot in the returned summary. A test checks that concurrent rate refreshes do not change the pricing metadata of an in-flight summary.

Changes: Usage Summary

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture pricing for each summary
apps/server/src/usage/UsageService.ts, apps/server/src/usage/UsageService.test.ts
scanSummary captures pricing metadata before aggregator creation and returns the captured value. The test checks that an in-flight summary uses the initial rate and timestamp, while a later summary uses the refreshed rate and timestamp.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Suggested reviewers: t3dotgg, maria-rcks

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 24cf2

This change keeps the pricing metadata of a usage summary consistent with the rates used to compute it, even if rates refresh during the read. It is a small, localized change with a regression test, and no merge-blocking risk was identified.

Explanation

The title "perf(usage): show saved totals before scanning history" matches the main change. The PR returns saved transcript records and saved prices first, marks them as refreshing, and then shows current totals from the awaited request. It follows the conventional commit format from the repository template. The title does not mention the pricing metadata pairing change in UsageService.ts, but that is a secondary detail.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template sections: Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification. The Problem and Change sections explain the cached-first behavior clearly. Verification lists specific checks, observed results, and items not verified. The Scope section does not link an issue or state a maintainer request. It also does not say why no issue is needed. The description also says the scope was reduced to five files, and it notes that the parser optimization moved to another PR. The description contains a reference to a video that is not an image, and it does not include a clear issue link. These gaps are non-critical, so the description is mostly complete.

@juliusmarminge could you review this Usage performance fix? It shows saved totals promptly while refreshing current usage and speeds up large transcript reads.

Local validation passed (107 tests), and CodeRabbit reported no actionable findings.

Copy link
Copy Markdown

This would help our large-history case. On Linux with 0.1.4-nightly.20261027.3783, one usage request took about 91 seconds, with about 86 seconds in UsageService.collectDirs. The next request took about 5 seconds. Both succeeded.

The persisted scan cache is about 100 MiB and tracks roughly 28,800 transcript files and 984,000 usage records. We added the measurements to #7088.

We have not run this branch, so this is evidence for the problem it addresses, not validation of the fix. Showing saved totals first would avoid leaving the page waiting for that full scan.

thanks @hieu-lee. the cached-first response fits the existing client flow and preserves saved totals while a fresh scan completes. i kept your commit, merged current main, and narrowed this to five files (+164/-14).

the final diff keeps the optional preferCached request, saved pricing, and cached/fresh client flow. it reuses the existing retained-record aggregation instead of walking the cache twice. pricing metadata remains paired with the rates used for totals. i dropped the independent oversized-line parser optimization and concurrent manual pricing refresh, including their test changes. manual refresh and parsing now match main.

verification:

  • reproduced the cached-read regression against main, then passed the same regression with the fix.
  • blacksmith: vp run check:changed aa11ef6783da81039e6646e2e96941748afb358e passed format, lint, both knip checks, generated GraphQL checks, 32 package typechecks and 72 tests. the worker needed its shallow git base repaired to compare these five files.
  • real chrome client: 30-day, 7-day and past-24-hour windows, manual refresh, and 390px viewport. websocket replies show saved totals with refreshing, followed by fresh totals with the same 2,846,440 tokens. captures use the same frozen copy of this task's actual codex history and saved prices.
  • two independent read-only reviews approved 7b6307bb51aa975976adc0fe5172c05fa9bf11d2, with no findings.
  • unverified: native mobile, electron, relay/tunnel, and a large-history latency comparison. these captures prove behavior and matching totals, not a measured speedup. non-transcript readers keep their existing behavior.

2026-11-01 merge update: merged current main (955e2bfbb5c0) into the existing head without rebasing. head is a33b0c4df0031fb5aef82fef4b1d4798039c33c6. the only conflict placed new tests at the same location; retained both cached-first tests and main's compressed-transcript test. the final product diff remains five files (+164/-14).

blacksmith vp run check:changed 955e2bfbb5c092c54ad795c8d379fec99702a6b5 passed format, lint, both knip checks, graphql generation checks, 35 package typechecks, and 81 tests. repaired the worker's shallow merge history before running checks. two independent read-only reviews approved this exact head with no findings. pushed to the existing contributor branch without force. fresh CI is pending. previous runtime evidence below is for the prior head; native clients and a large-history speed comparison remain unverified.


Verified in a real dev environment

verified unchanged head 7b6307bb51aa975976adc0fe5172c05fa9bf11d2 on this linux boat vm. i read the diff and discussion, installed github/main (32ecd71726fee16f335484c1f95cbce126d461f6) in a separate worktree, then installed and ran the exact pr head. only one dev server ran at a time. chrome was driven by the repo playwright dependency, using /usr/bin/google-chrome.

i added a project pointing at the real git checkout through the app, created threads, and submitted actual codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local proxy. the pr turn rendered its final reply in chat. no mocked provider, replay, generated transcript, or demo data was used. codex history was isolated from this verification conversation.

main reproduced the missing cached-first response: opening usage sent one ordinary summary request and returned only fresh totals. the pr returned saved totals with refreshing: true, then the client sent awaitRefresh: true and received fresh totals with refreshing cleared. after a new real turn and server restart, saved totals advanced from 38,663 to 57,978 tokens. 7-day, 30-day, past-24-hour, cost/token switching, and manual refresh all worked; fresh window totals matched at 57,978 tokens.

short websocket transcript from the running browser client:

main: request ordinary summary
main: response 38663 tokens, refreshing=false
pr: request preferCached=true
pr: response 38663 tokens, refreshing=true
pr: request awaitRefresh=true
pr: response 57978 tokens, refreshing=false
7-day / past-24h / manual refresh: 57978 tokens

main and the pr now use different persisted cache formats (v10 and v9). i warmed each with the real history rather than changing either cache format. the matching screenshots below show the same two-turn history before adding the final pr turn. these prove matching totals and the client flow, not a large-history speedup.

blacksmith vp run check:changed aa11ef6783da81039e6646e2e96941748afb358e passed format, lint, both knip passes, generated graphql checks, 32 package typechecks, and 72 tests. the worker needed a depth-4 fetch of this pr to restore its shallow merge base. no code changes or pushes were needed.

before: main usage with 38663 real codex tokens

after: pr usage with the same 38663 real codex tokens

pr: switching windows and metrics and manually refreshing after a real new turn

Not verified

native ios/android, electron, macos/windows, relay/tunnel, other providers, and large-history latency were not exercised. this small history does not reproduce the reported 91-second delay. non-transcript readers still run before the initial response, so this is not evidence of a universal provider speedup. subscription-limit polling is outside the changed summary path and the local proxy does not support that endpoint.

separate main-only observation: its provider transcript completed, but its final assistant text did not appear in chat. the exact pr head did render its final assistant reply. i left that unrelated behavior unchanged.

media rendering limitation: i reopened this comment on both hosts. github renders both screenshots; its external mp4 image does not play inline. git.cafe renders these external media references as links. the actual uploaded mp4 plays to completion and seeks in t3 browser preview and chrome.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified unchanged head 7b6307bb51aa975976adc0fe5172c05fa9bf11d2 on this linux boat vm. i read the diff, description, discussion, and commit authors. the pr is open and has no commits by juliusmarminge or t3dotgg.

i installed github/main (f012fa210dbf464a5ea68fe9071ee377682f8d66) in a separate worktree and reproduced the missing saved-first response there. i then installed and ran the exact pr head. only one dev server ran at a time. playwright from the repo dependencies drove /usr/bin/google-chrome.

i added a project pointing at the real checkout through the app and sent actual codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local proxy. codex history was isolated from this verification conversation. no mocks, fixtures, replay, or demo data were used.

main returned only fresh totals after restart. the pr first returned the persisted two-turn total, then the actual client issued the awaited request and showed the new three-turn total. the pr's real provider turn also rendered its final reply in chat.

main, after warming one turn and adding another:
  ordinary request -> 38,661 tokens, refreshing=false, 2 records
pr, after warming two turns and adding another:
  preferCached=true -> 38,661 tokens, refreshing=true, 2 records
  awaitRefresh=true -> 57,976 tokens, refreshing=false, 3 records
7-day / past-24h / 30-day / manual refresh:
  fresh replies -> 57,976 tokens, refreshing=false

saved pricing was loaded after restart. 7-day, past-24-hour, and 30-day windows, cost/token switching, and manual refresh worked. manual refresh called the real rates endpoint and completed the saved/fresh summary requests. the matching before/after screenshots show the same two-turn history. each branch warmed its own native cache format, v10 on current main and v9 on this pr.

before: main with 38661 tokens from two real codex turns

after: pr with the same 38661 tokens from two real codex turns

pr: changing usage windows and metrics and manually refreshing after the third real codex turn

both uploaded screenshots render at 1440x1000. i inspected the captures and recording; the 14-second uploaded recording plays to completion and seeks in t3's browser player. no code changes or pushes were needed. the existing head has 28 successful checks, with none pending or failing. task-owned dev servers and blacksmith workers were stopped.

Not verified

native ios/android, electron, macos/windows, relay/tunnel, other providers, and large-history latency were not exercised. this small real history proves the saved/fresh client flow, not the reported 91-second delay or a measured speedup. subscription limits are outside this summary change; the local proxy returned JSON-RPC -32600 for that endpoint.

fresh vp run check:changed aa11ef6783da81039e6646e2e96941748afb358e through blacksmith-check could not start. the first worker stayed in hydration for about ten minutes; its action log says Warning: phone-home (ready) failed, continuing in degraded mode. a replacement also stayed in hydration. i stopped both, rather than running checks locally. existing green ci is separate from the real-app verification above.

main's live final assistant text initially appeared only after reloading; the pr's new turn rendered its reply live. that main observation was left unchanged.

media rendering limitation: i reopened this comment on both hosts. github renders both screenshots but cannot play the external mp4 inline. git.cafe renders these external media references as links. the uploaded mp4 itself plays and seeks in t3's player.

Heads up: the parser optimization removed from this PR now has its own PR, #28598 (skip JSON parsing for oversized transcript lines without usage). It is independent of the cached-first change here, so they can land in either order.

@juliusmarminge merged current main into this branch (one conflict in UsageService.ts: the scan key now carries both preferCached and main's new modelFilter). vp run check:changed is clean. Could you review this when you have a moment?

Main's provisional usage reads (pingdotgg#33993) replace this branch's preferCached

only the pricing metadata capture and its regression test.

Evidence

Seed 400,000 synthetic Codex requests and a two-hour-old 10× rate table on fresh, isolated servers. Read a full summary, start another window's read, refresh rates from a second client after 300 ms, then read a control summary.

Base returned $1,635 labelled with the newly refreshed table, although that table produced $163.50 in the control. Head retained the original cached metadata for $1,635 and used fresh metadata for the $163.50 control.

These images and videos render captured server RPC output; they are not app screen recordings.
