What this is

Normalized token accounting for agent transcripts, as logic only. No UI, no
socket verb, no pricing. It is the piece every "how much did this session
cost" surface needs first, and the part that is easy to get quietly wrong.

ChatUsageAccumulator takes Claude Code transcript lines or Codex rollout
lines, in order, incrementally, and produces a ChatUsageTotals.

Why this is not a sum

Both providers report the same spend more than once. Adding up every usage
block in a transcript overstates it, and the two shapes of repetition are
different.

Claude Code repeats one response across its content blocks. An assistant
turn that thinks, writes text and calls two tools is written as several JSONL
lines, and each one carries the same message.usage, the same message.id
and the same requestId. Measured over eight local sessions, summing every
block gives 733,601,501 tokens where the deduplicated figure is 408,312,692.
That is a 1.80x overstatement, and it is not a constant factor: it scales with
how tool-heavy the session was, so it cannot be corrected after the fact.
Deduplicating on requestId plus message.id is what makes the number mean
something.

Codex reports every response twice, in two record types. A
token_usage_record line and an event_msg / token_count line carry the
same counts at different ordinals. On top of that, the token_count event
carries total_token_usage, which is cumulative for the session, right beside
last_token_usage, which is only the most recent call. Summing the cumulative
field grows quadratically. In one ordinary session it ends at 389,684 tokens
against a 258,400 token context window, so it is neither summable nor an
occupancy figure.

The accumulator therefore picks one Codex source per transcript:
token_usage_record when the file has any, otherwise the cumulative events.
codexSource reports which one was used, because the cumulative fallback
cannot be attributed per response or per model.

The fallback is not the largest value reported either. total_token_usage
counts from the start of a thread, and one rollout holds several: a
compaction, a /new or a subagent turn restarts the count, and the payload
carries no thread id to separate the runs by. So the field is read as a
sequence of monotone runs. Each drop banks the run that just ended and starts
a new one, and the total is every banked run plus the current one. On one
measured rollout the runs sum to 1,225,122,320 tokens where the maximum alone
says 759,171,291 and the final value says 240,832,997.

The input_tokens trap

The providers disagree about what "input tokens" means, and the disagreement
is silent: both write a key spelled input_tokens and the two keys mean
different things.

Claude Code Codex
input_tokens excludes both cache figures the whole prompt
cached prompt cache_read_input_tokens, beside it cached_input_tokens, a subset of it
own total not stated input_tokens + output_tokens

Mapping both onto one field overstates Codex's uncached input by almost the
entire cached prompt. One measured Codex response: input_tokens 28,202 with
cached_input_tokens 27,904, so the uncached input is 298, not 28,202.

ChatTokenUsage stores freshInputTokens, cacheReadTokens and
cacheWriteTokens separately and each extractor converts into that shape, so
the two providers become comparable. reasoningOutputTokens is stored as a
breakdown of outputTokens, never an addend, because both providers already
count reasoning inside their output total.

Deliberate choices

Undercount, never overcount. A usage block with no response identity
cannot be deduplicated. Counting it risks the same overstatement the type
exists to prevent, so it is skipped and surfaced as unidentifiedReports.
A usage block carrying no count key this parser recognizes is treated the
same way, because reading it as zero would be indistinguishable from a cheap
turn. In practice both stay zero. It is not a general format alarm: a
provider that renames only some count keys, or adds a new kind of token,
leaves the counter at zero and quietly undercounts.

Subagent tokens count. Unlike ClaudeTranscriptParser, which skips
sidechain lines because they do not belong in the conversation view, this
counts them. A subagent's tokens are spent tokens. They are hidden from the
transcript view, not from the bill.

Context occupancy comes from the last call, not the total. Codex's
last_token_usage.total_tokens is what is sitting in the window: the last
prompt plus what the model generated, which is the prefix of the next prompt.
total_token_usage is the session's running total and routinely exceeds the
window, so reading occupancy from it reports a context several times full.

No dollars. ChatUsageTotals stops at counts. Money needs a per-model
price table, an answer for subscription plans where per-token prices do not
apply, and a policy for how stale a bundled table may get. Those are product
decisions. Codex also reports allowance headroom directly, in
rate_limits, which is surfaced as ChatUsageRateLimit. Both windows are
carried: the five-hour primary and the weekly secondary, plus
spend_control_reached. The weekly one is usually what stops a day of work,
so tightestWindow picks the one a caller showing a single number should
show; the primary alone reads "12% used" on a session at 96% of its week.
Claude Code puts no limit state in its transcript, so the field stays nil
for Claude rather than reporting a zero it cannot back up.

Tests

32 tests in ChatUsageAccumulatorTests, built from observed transcript
shapes rather than invented ones. The ones that matter:

  • four content-block lines for one response count as one response, with
    duplicateReports == 3
  • two responses that share a requestId stay two responses
  • the 11-value cumulative Codex sequence ending at 389,684 is never summed
  • three cumulative runs in one rollout sum to 121,000 where the maximum says
    90,000 and the last value says 1,000
  • a streaming response's placeholder output count loses to its final count, so
    a response that generated 6,513 tokens is not recorded as 2
  • context reads 52,399 against a 258,400 window, not the 388,256 cumulative
  • Codex input_tokens 28,202 with 27,904 cached yields 298 fresh, and the
    derived total matches the provider's own total_tokens
  • the deduplicated sum of per-response records equals the provider's own
    running total, read off the same rollout and not computed from the
    per-response numbers, which is the strongest available check that the
    deduplication is neither dropping nor double-counting a response
  • records beat events when a transcript has both, but a record whose counts
    cannot be read does not take over and zero the session
  • the cumulative fallback leaves usageByModel empty instead of guessing, and
    a record that arrives before the first turn_context counts in the total
    without a row in the split
  • counts written as strings, and a count too large for an Int, are reported
    rather than read as zero or trapped on
  • clamping holds if a provider ever moves the cache figures outside
    input_tokens

Because the full package needs Darwin-only modules, I also built these three
files as a standalone package under -swift-version 6 and ran the suite
there: 32 tests, all green. CI runs the suite proper.

Summary by cubic

Adds cross-provider token usage accounting for agent transcripts so Claude Code and Codex session costs can be compared on the same terms. Both providers report the same spend more than once, so the new ChatUsageAccumulator deduplicates rather than sums.

  • Counts one Claude response once even though its content-block lines repeat the usage, keeping the largest report because streaming lines carry placeholder output counts; Claude's synthetic client-side messages are skipped.
  • Prefers Codex per-response records and ignores the cumulative events once any record appears, dropping the cumulative prefix so a forked or delegated thread's parent spend is never counted in a child; on record-free transcripts, reads total_token_usage as monotone runs that are banked when the count drops, since one rollout holds several threads.
  • Stores fresh, cache-read, and cache-write input tokens separately because the providers disagree on what input_tokens means.
  • Skips usage without a response identity or a readable count key and surfaces it as unidentifiedReports, so totals deliberately undercount rather than overcount.
  • Counts subagent tokens, and reports Codex context occupancy from the last call and allowance state from rate_limits including the secondary window; both stay nil for Claude.
  • Carries no pricing, parses out-of-range counts as nil instead of trapping, bounds recent response identities so a long-lived transcript tailer stays memory-fixed, makes replaying the same file idempotent, and saturates all summed arithmetic at Int.max via one shared ChatTokenUsage.saturatedSum.
  • Refactors TranscriptJSONValue to keep integers as Int so full-range counts are preserved, and moves the saturating-sum helper onto ChatTokenUsage; no behavior change.
  • Subsequent fixes harden the source decision once records appear, bind identities to structured keys, prefer the exact turn model for the model split, and keep model rows and retained usage metadata bounded when the two Codex sources mix.

Written for commit 02a24dd. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added normalized token usage totals, including input, cached, output, and reasoning tokens, with breakdowns by model.
    • Added transcript usage summaries with response counts, context-window usage, and rate-limit information.
    • Added support for collecting usage data from Claude and Codex transcripts, including duplicate-report handling and cumulative usage tracking.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Out-of-range numeric values now return no integer value instead of causing a crash.
    • Integer values in transcripts are preserved accurately and ignored where text output or paths are expected.

Claude Code and Codex both report token usage in their transcripts, and
both report the same spend more than once. Adding up every usage block a
transcript contains is wrong in two different ways.

Claude Code writes one API response as several JSONL lines, one per
content block, and every line repeats the same message.usage. Summing
them overstates total tokens by about 1.8x on real transcripts
(733,601,501 summed against 408,312,692 deduplicated over eight local
sessions). Deduplicating on requestId plus message.id fixes it.

Codex reports each response twice, as a token_usage_record line and as an
event_msg/token_count line, and the token_count event carries
total_token_usage, which is cumulative for the session. Summing the
cumulative field grows quadratically and sails past the context window.
So pick one source per transcript: the per-response records when the file
has any, otherwise the newest cumulative value, which needs no summing.

The two providers also disagree silently about what input_tokens means.
Claude's excludes both cache figures; Codex's includes the cached prompt
as a subset. Mapping both onto one field overstates Codex's uncached
input by nearly the whole prompt. ChatTokenUsage stores fresh, cache-read
and cache-write input separately, and each extractor converts into that
shape.

No UI and no pricing. Converting tokens to money needs a per-model price
table, an answer for subscription plans and a staleness policy, which are
product decisions, so this stops at counts.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 02a24

This change adds token accounting for Claude and Codex transcripts, with no UI or protocol changes. The earlier arithmetic overflow concern has been fixed, and no outstanding issues block merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 02a24

The new accounting API does not appear to control access, spending, or provider execution. Its totals have documented accuracy limits, and the review did not establish that they are used for a security-sensitive decision.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated effect of crafted or repeated transcript input is on usage metadata returned by this package. No credential, authorization, provider-control, or cross-tenant sink was established in the examined flow; consumers outside the examined scope remain uncertain.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — Replaying an identity after eviction can inflate reported usage, but no current billing, quota, or access decision consuming these totals was established. This is a documented accounting limit, not a verified authorization-bypass path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Transcript lines cross into the parser as strings. Invalid JSON and usage-free records are skipped; response identity and recognized counts are required before usage is counted, while missing information is reflected in diagnostic totals.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The accumulator bounds retained identities and avoids assigning a delayed Codex record to another turn’s model when its authoritative turn identity has expired.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — If a future caller uses these totals for billing, quotas, or access control, require trusted transcript provenance and an explicit policy for unidentified reports, ambiguous cumulative usage, and identities outside the deduplication window before making that decision.

Claude Code writes client-side assistant messages (API errors,
interrupts) with model <synthetic> and all-zero usage. They are not API
responses, so they should not raise the response count or add a
<synthetic> entry to the per-model split.

Self-review of the head diff (correctness first), checked against local Claude Code and Codex transcripts.

Fixed (72bdab4):

  • Claude Code writes client-side assistant messages (API errors, interrupts) with model <synthetic> and zeroed usage. They were counted as responses and opened a <synthetic> bucket in usageByModel. They are now skipped, with a test.

Checked, no change:

  • Dedup keeps the first report per requestId|message.id. Across 12.7k repeated lines in recent transcripts every repeat carried identical usage, so first-seen is exact.
  • Codex token_usage_record / token_count field names and the cached-input-as-subset convention match current rollouts; the fixtures mirror them.

Left, with reason:

  • A Codex session that switches from events-only to per-response records partway through (resumed on a newer Codex) reports only the records. Splicing the cumulative prefix onto records risks double counting the response at the seam, and this format transition is rare, so it stays a known undercount.
  • contextTokens is not filled for Claude sessions. Deriving it is a feature choice (which line counts as the current context, sidechains or not), not a correctness fix.

CI: the earlier ios-simulator (iphone) red was TerminalSurfaceMountOwnershipTests.terminalPrimesViewportBeforeClaimingOutputOnEachMount, an iOS terminal mount timing test that this package change does not touch. Merged main and re-ran.

Merged main, skipped Claude <synthetic> messages (see the self-review above). CI is green on 72bdab4, 66/66 checks. The earlier iOS failure did not recur. CodeRabbit is still rate-limited, so there are no threads to address.

Review of the first pass found two counting bugs on the paths that carry
most real transcripts.

The Codex cumulative fallback took the maximum `total_token_usage` it saw.
That field counts from the start of a thread, and one rollout holds several:
a compaction, a `/new` or a subagent turn restarts it, with no thread id in
the payload to separate the runs. On a rollout with three threads the
maximum reports the largest single thread. The count is now read as a
sequence of monotone runs: a drop banks the run that just ended and starts a
new one, and the total is every banked run plus the current one.

Claude's per-identity deduplication kept the first report. While a response
streams, its early lines carry a placeholder output count and only the last
line carries what it generated, so the first copy can say 2 output tokens
for a response that generated 6,513 and drop its reasoning tokens
entirely. The largest report now wins, folded in as a delta so reading
`totals` stays independent of how many lines were fed in.

Also from the review:

- A usage block with no count key this parser recognizes now counts in
  `unidentifiedReports` instead of reading as a response that cost nothing.
  That also stops an unreadable `token_usage_record` from taking over as the
  source and zeroing a session already accounted for by the events.
- `TranscriptJSONValue.int` trapped on a number outside `Int`'s range.
  Transcripts come from remote and cloud hosts, so `1e30` in a count field
  is untrusted input; it now answers nil.
- Context occupancy reads `last_token_usage.total_tokens` rather than its
  input alone. The output of the last call is in the window too, because it
  is the prefix of the next prompt, and the total is the figure Codex itself
  shows.
- `ChatUsageRateLimit` carries the secondary window and `spend_control_reached`.
  Codex sends a five-hour primary and a weekly secondary, and the weekly one
  is what actually stops a day of work; showing the primary alone reads
  "12% used" at 96% of the week. `tightestWindow` picks the one to show.
- Claude's `<synthetic>` messages had no API call behind them, so they are
  no longer counted as responses or given a row in the model split.
- Documented that one accumulator holds one transcript, corrected the type
  doc's claim that the cumulative value needs no summing, and corrected the
  `usageByModel` comment: a record that arrives before the first
  `turn_context` also leaves the split short of the total.

Tests go from 22 to 32. The record-sum test no longer builds the provider's
cumulative figure out of the per-response numbers it checks, so it is an
independent check again.

Review (subagent, correctness first): 10 findings, 2 blocking. All 10 are fixed in 3135050 and merged with the branch's catch-up merge in 60edd7b.

Fixed:

  1. Blocking. The Codex cumulative fallback took the maximum total_token_usage. That field counts from the start of a thread, and one rollout holds several: a compaction, a /new or a subagent turn restarts it, with no thread id in the payload to tell the runs apart. It is now read as a sequence of monotone runs, a drop banks the finished run, and the total is every banked run plus the current one. On the rollout the review used, the runs sum to 1,225,122,320 where the maximum says 759,171,291 and the final value says 240,832,997.
  2. Blocking. Claude deduplication kept the first report of an identity. While a response streams, the early lines carry a placeholder output count. The largest report now wins, tie keeps the incumbent, folded in as a delta so reading totals stays O(1). The review's own example: 6,513 output and 1,503 reasoning, previously recorded as 2 and 0.
  3. unidentifiedReports could not see a renamed or string-typed count field: a usage block with no recognized count read as a response that cost nothing. It is now counted as unidentified, and the doc no longer claims the counter is a general format alarm, because a partial rename still slips past it.
  4. TranscriptJSONValue.int trapped on a number outside Int's range. Transcripts come from remote and cloud hosts, so 1e30 in a count field was a crash on untrusted input. It answers nil now, with a test.
  5. One accumulator holds one transcript. That was an unwritten precondition; it is now on the type and on ingest(codexLines:), with a test showing what merging two rollouts into one value does.
  6. The usageByModel comment claimed codexSource explains every total-versus-split mismatch. A record that arrives before the first turn_context also does, and that case is now pinned by a test.
  7. An unreadable token_usage_record flipped codexSource to .usageRecords and zeroed a session the events had already accounted for. The recognized-count check runs before the source flips.
  8. Rate limits read only primary. ChatUsageRateLimit now carries the weekly secondary window and spend_control_reached, with tightestWindow for a caller showing one number; the primary alone reads "12% used" at 96% of the week.
  9. Context occupancy read last_token_usage.input_tokens. It reads total_tokens now: the output of the last call is in the window too, as the prefix of the next prompt, and that matches what Codex itself shows.
  10. Claude's <synthetic> messages counted as responses and opened a <synthetic> row in the model split.

Also: the "strongest available check" test built the provider's cumulative figure out of the per-response numbers it was checking, so it proved nothing. It now uses the figure read off the same rollout as an independent constant.

Left:

  • The review suggested reading the record payload's thread_token_usage for the cumulative problem. It does not help: the cumulative path only runs when the transcript has no token_usage_record lines at all, so there is no such payload to read. Monotone-run summing is what is available there.
  • Still logic only: no UI, no socket verb, no pricing. Unchanged scope.
  • Tests ran green as a standalone package under -swift-version 6 (32 tests); the real suite runs in CI, since the full package needs Darwin-only modules.

Reviewed and repaired exact head 5b781c75b884132628f560dc0f25e8c6cc8d01a7.

  • Preserves cumulative Codex history across format transitions and resets without double-counting records.
  • Makes JSON integer decoding, cache subtraction, totals, and counters overflow-safe and monotonic.
  • Counts generated output in context occupancy.
  • Bounds Codex deduplication with a FIFO set and Claude deduplication with a FIFO response map while preserving streaming placeholder-to-final upgrades.
  • Preserves readable-count guards, secondary rate limits, the full public API, and ChatUsageAccumulator.CodexSource compatibility.
  • Splits public model types and ChatUsageRateLimit.Window into named files; pure helpers are file-private.
  • Independent and structured reviews found no actionable issue; policy is clean. Focused package suites passed 41 and 44 tests, and static verification passed.

CI failure attribution

CI passes on 02a24dd960 (run 36473269211 attempt 1).

Written by scripts/ci/classify_failures.py (ci-failure-attribution.yml); signatures are its SIGNATURES table. A machine verdict is the runner's fault, not this PR's.

The iOS package convention guard failed on this branch with two violations,
both the same helper: `saturatedSum` was declared as a private free function in
ChatTokenUsage.swift and again in ChatUsageAccumulator.swift. The guard wants
functionality scoped to a type, and the duplicate was going to drift anyway.

It becomes one internal static method on ChatTokenUsage, which is the type whose
arithmetic it protects, and the accumulator calls it there. No behavior change:
the body is identical and both copies were already identical.

Verified with scripts/lint-ios-package-conventions.sh, whose free-function
section is now empty ("OK: no unjustified convention violations"). The package
cannot build on Linux (it imports Darwin), so the type check is CI's on macOS.

A review of the usage-hardening commits found that record mode had stopped
reporting what its records said. `codexRecordUsageSinceTransition` was reset
once, at the transition, and then incremented at the same site as
`codexRecordUsage`, so the two were provably equal and the baseline reduced to
`cumulativeTotal - recordUsage`. The total therefore equalled
`total_token_usage` exactly, and the per-response records stopped affecting it.

That matters because `total_token_usage` is a thread figure, not a transcript
one: it survives a fork and a compaction, so a delegated rollout opens with its
parent's lifetime spend. Callers sum one accumulator per transcript, so the
parent was being counted again in every child. A real rollout on this machine
opens at 1,090,320,069 cumulative tokens beside a 29,114-token last call.

Records are precise, so they now replace the cumulative reading instead of
adding to it, and cumulative events are not read at all once records appear.
A cumulative prefix before the first record is dropped: that understates by
the handful of tokens spent before the first record, where keeping it
overstates by orders of magnitude, and understating is the safe direction.
Not reading the stream in record mode also makes a re-read of the same file
idempotent, which it was not while replayed monotone runs banked twice, and
restores `unidentifiedReports` to meaning the total is short.

Same harness, before and after, on the forked-thread input:
1,090,345,709 then 25,640, where the transcript spent 25,640.

The saturating arithmetic, the `TranscriptJSONValue.integer` case, the
`codexUsage` subtraction rewrite and the file split are all kept.

Review subagent on the three commits pushed after the first review (00f2856cd8a, f5d78a40620, 5b781c75b88), correctness first. It could not build the package (CmuxAgentChat imports Darwin and ImageIO), so it extracted the nine usage files into a standalone module and ran the real code, then replayed both algorithms over the transcripts on this machine: 51 Codex rollouts holding 11,818 token_usage_record lines, and 499 Claude transcripts.

Review:

  1. High. In record mode the total collapsed to the cumulative event total. codexRecordUsageSinceTransition was reset once, at the transition, then incremented at the same site as codexRecordUsage, so the two were provably equal and the baseline reduced to cumulativeTotal - recordUsage. The result: usage == codexCumulativeTotal, with the per-response records no longer affecting the number. That is unbounded, because total_token_usage is a thread total that survives a fork or a compaction: a real rollout here opens at 1,090,320,069 cumulative tokens on a delegated thread whose own last call was 29,114. Callers sum one accumulator per transcript, so the parent's lifetime was being counted again in every child.
  2. High/medium. A token_count event arriving before the record for the same response double-counted it, and each later record re-opened the gap until the next event closed it, so the value was only correct immediately after an event.
  3. Medium. codexSource == .usageRecords no longer meant a precise per-response total, which is the distinction the enum exists to carry.
  4. Medium. Identity dedup is a 4,096-entry window and exceeding it re-counts silently, while duplicateReports still promised a caller could watch it to prove dedup works. The FIFO itself is correct (eviction order and the modular index verified over 100k inserts), and the constant is generous against real data: max 2,466 records in one rollout, max Claude repeat distance 335 lines.
  5. Medium-low. Re-feeding the same file in record mode inflated the total, because replayed monotone cumulative runs banked a second time: 160, 260, 360 over three reads of the same lines.
  6. Low. unidentifiedReports and duplicateReports fired for cumulative blocks in record mode, and codexUnreadableCumulativeKeepsRecordSource pinned that contradiction: a complete 110-token total asserted alongside unidentifiedReports == 1.
  7. Low. TranscriptJSONValue.integer is a correct fix (input_tokens: 9007199254740993 used to read as …992 through the Double path), and it is what makes the codexUsage subtraction rewrite load-bearing, so those two must stay together.

Clean: the rate-limit window move is byte-for-byte with no logic change, resets_at epoch handling matches the real rollouts, there is no trap in any hostile input (Int.max in every count field, 1e30, negatives), and no public API break. maximumCodexCacheCountsStaySafe is a real crash regression test.

Fixed in c6921568c28:

  • Removed the record-mode reconciliation. Records replace the cumulative reading instead of adding to it, and cumulative events are not read at all once records appear. This fixes 1, 2, 5 and 6, and restores 3.
  • A cumulative prefix before the first record is now dropped rather than kept as a baseline. That understates by whatever was spent before the first record; keeping it overstates by orders of magnitude on a forked thread. Understating is the safe direction, and the reason is in the source.
  • Deleted codexCumulativeBaseline, codexRecordUsageSinceTransition and the two now-dead clampedDifference overloads.
  • Docs corrected on ChatUsageCodexSource, ChatUsageTotals.usageByModel and duplicateReports, the last one now stating the bounded window (4).
  • Tests: the two that restated the old implementation are replaced by ones that pin the rule, plus three new regressions — a forked thread's parent total, cumulative events after records including a thread reset and a double read, and an event arriving before its own record.

Before and after on the same harness, forked-thread input [event(total 1,090,320,069), record resp-a 25,640]:

before: 1090345709
after:      25640      (the transcript spent 25,640)

Ten checks, run against the extracted module because the package needs Darwin:

prefix dropped                    150 -> 20
forked parent total        1090345709 -> 25640
events after records              190 -> 90
replay idempotent                 310 -> 90
event before record (1, 2)   200, 300 -> 100, 200
unreadable cumulative unidentified  1 -> 0
cumulative fallback banked runs   190 -> 190   (unchanged, as intended)

Left:

  • The reviewer's caveat, worth recording: on all 51 record-era rollouts here the old and new code agree, because the event total never exceeded the running record sum. The mechanism was unguarded, not yet firing.
  • used_percent is still not clamped to the documented 0 to 100, and window_minutes has no > 0 check unlike model_context_window. Pre-existing, neither caused nor touched by this PR.
  • The 4,096-entry dedup window is documented rather than instrumented. A transcript with more distinct responses than that, or a caller re-reading from offset 0, can re-count without a counter moving.
  • CI is red on every open cmux PR right now for an unrelated reason: Resources/Localizable.xcstrings on main carries a duplicated agent.claude.stopFailure.* block, which fails the catalog-structure guard and so ci-status everywhere. Remove the duplicated Claude stop-failure strings from Localizable.xcstrings #15414 fixes it.

Two blocking accounting findings remain on exact head eb2ff920973c:

  1. The first token_usage_record freezes the preceding total_token_usage and adds it to all precise response records. Real delegated/forked Codex rollouts can begin with a parent thread's lifetime cumulative snapshot; per-transcript callers then count that parent total again in each child. Once precise records appear, discard the cumulative prefix unless a structured source proves it belongs only to this transcript.
  2. compacted is treated as a cumulative reset boundary, but Codex's total_token_usage continues across compaction. Banking at compacted and then adding the next lifetime snapshot double-counts all prior usage. Only bank on a proven accounting identity/reset boundary (session/thread change or explicit provider reset), not compaction.

The current regression expecting a ~1.09B inherited prefix plus a 25,640-token child response demonstrates the first overcount rather than preventing it. Please update the contract and tests before merge.

Updated onto current main with the cumulative-usage reset protections and sticky ambiguity regressions intact. The accumulator now rejects component resets even when the total rises, for both inherited and ordinary cumulative streams, and preserves ambiguity through record takeover.

Validation after the main merge: CmuxAgentChat passed 346 Swift Testing tests plus 10 XCTest tests; diff checks are clean.
