Summary

This PR changes a high-risk area: cost accounting.

  • Adds a "recalculate cost" action for a single request-log row: re-resolves current pricing for a Usage row and overwrites its cost, keeping the usage_daily and sessions rollups in sync in the same transaction.
  • Frontend: clicking the cost value in the request log (not a button, the price text itself) triggers recalculation with a small pulse animation while in flight; on success only that row's cost is patched locally (no full-table refetch).
  • No batch/bulk recalculation endpoint — single-row only, explicitly deferred (see spec).

Why / Context

Request-log rows can end up with stale or wrong cost if pricing config changes after the row was recorded (config fix, LiteLLM price update, provider override added later). There was previously no way to fix a historical row's cost without a manual DB edit. Mini-spec: docs/quick/usage-cost-recalculation.md (gitignored, private planning doc — not part of this diff).

How It Works

  • recalculate_usage_cost() (src/database/usage.py) loads the Usage row, resolves current pricing via the same resolve_cost_match used at record time. If no match is found (e.g. deprecated/renamed model), the row is left untouched and the result is marked skipped — never overwritten with a zeroed fallback cost.
  • On a match, it recomputes the three cost columns and, in the same transaction:
    • Delta-adjusts the matching usage_daily row via an atomic UPDATE ... SET col = col + delta (not a select-then-mutate round trip, so it's correct even without real row locking on SQLite).
    • Delta-adjusts the session's rollup (SessionRecord.total_cost_usd, models_json/providers_json, and re-derives primary_model/primary_provider) if the row has a session_id — this mirrors what upsert_session_from_usage maintains at record time, so recalculating a row doesn't leave the Sessions page/dashboard silently stale.
    • Logs a warning (does not fail) if no matching usage_daily or sessions row exists to adjust.
  • New route: POST /usage/{usage_id}/recalculate-cost in src/api.py, using a live-resolved pricing snapshot (same approach as the existing /pricing/{model} route — extracted into a shared _resolve_live_cost_maps() helper to avoid duplicating that block a third time) rather than the periodically-refreshed record-time cache, so recalculation always uses the freshest pricing.
  • Frontend: click handler on the cost cell in LogsPage.tsx (stopPropagation-guarded so it doesn't also trigger row-expand), .cost-recalculating CSS pulse animation (App.css) while the request is in flight, and a local setUsageRows patch of just the affected row on success (exposed via useLogsData's setUsageRows).

Design Decisions

  • Decision: Overwrite the row's cost in place, no audit trail of the previous value.
    Why: Matches the rest of the app's lack of an audit log for cost fields; keeps the change small.
    Trade-off: No way to see "what did this used to say" later. Revisit if that becomes a real need.
  • Decision: Skip (don't write) when pricing doesn't resolve, rather than writing a $0 fallback.
    Why: A silent $0 would look like a real answer instead of a resolution failure — worse than leaving the stale value in place.
    Trade-off: None — this is strictly safer than the alternative.
  • Decision: No batch/bulk endpoint in this PR.
    Why: Requested explicitly as out of scope; the core function is written so a future batch caller can loop over row ids without new backend work.
    Trade-off: Fixing many historical rows currently requires N single-row calls.
  • Decision: All rollup adjustments (usage_daily + sessions) happen in the same DB transaction as the Usage row update.
    Why: All-or-nothing atomicity is safer for a recalculation than the record-time precedent (log_usage() updates usage/usage_daily/sessions in three separate best-effort transactions) — a recalculation that partially applies is worse than one that fails cleanly and can be retried.
    Trade-off: sessions.models_json/providers_json still require a read-modify-write (JSON blob, no SQL-level atomic increment), so under true concurrent recalculations on SQLite (where with_for_update() is a documented no-op elsewhere in this codebase) there's a narrow lost-update window. Accepted: this is a rare manual action, not a hot ingest path.

Manual QA

  • Happy path: started an isolated dev server (scripts/dev/dev-start.sh, ephemeral DB copy) against a temp config with a pricing override, clicked-equivalent (curl POST) recalculation on a row — cost went $2.00 → $7.50, confirmed idempotent on a second call.
  • Session/daily rollup: inserted two rows in the same session with different models, recalculated one, confirmed sessions.total_cost_usd, models_json, and primary_model (which flips) all update correctly, confirmed usage_daily stays split correctly per model.
  • Error/empty state: no pricing match → {"skipped": true, "reason": "..."}, row left untouched; missing row id → 404.
  • Edge case: frontend build inspected — bundle contains the recalculate-cost call; npm run build and npm test pass with no new failures vs main.

Testing

  • uv run pre-commit run --all-files (ruff format, ruff, mypy, full pytest suite): pass
  • cd frontend && npm run build: pass
  • cd frontend && npm test: 128 pass / 45 fail — the 45 failures are pre-existing on main (confirmed by running the identical suite on main before this branch existed), unrelated to this diff.
  • Live end-to-end verification against a running dev server with a real (ephemeral, non-production) DB copy: pass — see Manual QA above.

Risk / Rollout / Rollback

  • Risk: Money-path change (cost accounting). Mitigated by: atomic rollup updates, skip-not-zero on unresolved pricing, an independent fresh-context code review before commit that caught and required fixing a session-rollup desync bug, and live verification beyond unit tests.
  • Rollout: New route + new UI affordance, no schema change, no migration. Safe to ship directly; no flag needed.
  • Rollback: Revert the commit; no persisted state format changes to unwind.

Data / Privacy Impact

  • Raw prompts/responses/request bodies captured by default: no
  • Secrets/auth headers/cookies touched: no
  • Logs/errors scrubbed: yes — only provider/model/date/session_id logged on the (expected, non-error) rollup-miss warning path, no payload data

Cost / Provider / Schema Impact

  • Cost/token accounting changed: yes — recalculation path only; record-time cost calculation (src/costs.py) is unchanged
  • Provider normalization changed: no
  • Streaming/tool-call behavior changed: no
  • Migration/backfill required: no

Review

  • Independent code review completed before commit: yes — fresh subagent, no shared context with implementation, reviewed the full diff plus surrounding code
  • Must-fix review findings resolved: yes — sessions-rollup desync (must-fix) fixed with a new regression test and live verification; should-fix items (SQLite read-modify-write race, silent rollup-miss, unrelated dev-start.sh change) also resolved
  • Standards checked against AGENTS.md, .agents/commands/llm-tracker.md, and .agents/commands/pre-pr.md: yes

Known Limitations / Follow-ups

  • No batch/bulk recalculation endpoint (explicitly deferred).
  • No confirm-before-apply or audit trail of the previous cost value (explicitly deferred, see Design Decisions).
  • Narrow lost-update window on the sessions JSON rollup under concurrent recalculations on SQLite specifically (documented in code comment, accepted given this is a rare manual action).

The database recalculates usage costs, updates daily and session rollups, handles missing or unmatched pricing, and adds regression coverage.
Live pricing API integration
src/api.py
The API centralizes live pricing resolution and exposes POST /usage/{usage_id}/recalculate-cost.
Logs-page recalculation interaction
frontend/src/hooks/useLogsData.ts, frontend/src/pages/LogsPage.tsx, frontend/src/App.css, frontend/src/i18n/zh.ts
The logs page recalculates individual rows, patches local state, displays localized results, and shows recalculation animation.
Release version update
VERSION
The declared project version changes from 0.2.4 to 0.2.5.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to adfd6

The new cost-recalculation endpoint performs synchronous database writes in an asynchronous request path, so a recalculation could briefly stall unrelated requests under load. This bounded runtime risk should remain visible to the owner, but it does not make the change unsafe to merge.

Poem

A rabbit taps a cost with care,
Fresh prices hop through server air.
Daily totals shift just right,
Session sums regain their light.
“Recalculated!” thumps the floor,
And version 0.2.5 opens the door.

cost-pulse repeats indefinitely while the request runs. Users who set prefers-reduced-motion: reduce should not see a looping animation.

434-458: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

_add_usage_to_cost_maps receives a delta, not a total.

The helper in src/database/sessions.py (Lines 46-56) is named for adding a usage total, and its keyword argument is total_cost. Here it receives deltas["total_cost_usd"]. The arithmetic is correct for an existing key, but two points remain:

  • If models_json or providers_json has no entry for usage.model or usage.provider, get(key, 0) + delta stores the delta alone. That understates the entry and can select a wrong primary_model.
  • The map values are floats, so repeated recalculations accumulate float drift against the Decimal column.

Consider a dedicated helper such as _apply_cost_delta_to_maps that only adjusts keys already present, or logs when a key is absent.
