What changed

  • keep Grok capability probes in raw usage logs for diagnostics while excluding internal traffic from user-facing request, token, billing, dashboard, chart, API-key, and account aggregates
  • version and rebuild existing usage rollups so historical capability probes no longer remain in cumulative totals
  • cache failed, rate-limited, and version-required capability observations for 24 hours; explicit forced probes still bypass the cache
  • expose lightweight in-memory active-request counters and poll them on the Codex and Grok account pages

Why

The 30-second Grok freshness worker periodically rebuilds missing capabilities with minimal generation requests. Those rows are tagged with internal_reason=grok_capability_probe, but existing aggregates treated them as normal end-user traffic. This inflated account request/token figures and made accounts appear continuously active. Short negative capability TTLs also caused unsupported or rate-limited protocols to be retried every few minutes.

Impact

Raw probe evidence remains available for debugging. User-facing statistics now represent actual client traffic, and unsupported capability probes no longer recur throughout the day. The new live badge reflects only current in-flight requests from in-memory counters.

Validation

  • go test ./database ./admin -count=1
  • go vet ./database ./admin
  • pnpm --dir frontend typecheck
  • pnpm --dir frontend build

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added live active-request indicators to account tables and cards.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds an authenticated live account-state API and one-second frontend polling for Codex and Grok account pages. It also excludes internal usage from metrics and rollups, and extends Grok capability-failure caching to 24 hours.

Changes

Live account state

Layer / File(s) Summary
Live account API
admin/account_live.go, admin/handler.go, admin/account_live_test.go
The admin API validates account IDs, limits requests to 500 IDs, and returns active request counts for existing accounts.
Live-state client polling
frontend/src/types.ts, frontend/src/api.ts, frontend/src/hooks/useAccountLiveState.ts
The frontend adds the response type, API method, and polling hook with cancellation, hidden-document deferral, stale-response suppression, retries, and cleanup.
Account-page indicators
frontend/src/pages/Accounts.tsx, frontend/src/pages/GrokAccounts.tsx
Both account pages apply live counts to visible accounts and display active-request badges in table and card layouts.

Internal usage filtering

Layer / File(s) Summary
End-user usage predicates
database/postgres.go, database/account_page_stats.go
Account usage and billing queries exclude rows with non-empty or non-user internal_reason values.
Versioned usage rollups
database/postgres.go
Rollups use aggregation version 2 and exclude internal rows during rebuilds and incremental updates.
Database metrics
database/postgres.go, database/sqlite.go
Dashboard, traffic, chart, model, feature, endpoint, API-key, and account metrics exclude internal usage rows.
Aggregation tests
database/sqlite_test.go
Tests verify that capability probes remain in raw logs but do not affect request, billing, usage-statistics, rollup, or chart totals.

Grok probe caching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capability failure TTL
admin/grok_state.go
Non-success Grok capability probe results use a 24-hour cache TTL without shorter overrides.
TTL validation
admin/grok_probe_test.go
Tests verify probe suppression before 24 hours and resumed probing after the TTL expires.

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

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 62651

The current head can still produce incorrect account usage totals when capability probes are queried through a scoped path or when whitespace-only metadata is processed differently, while the live dashboard may perform unnecessary row updates every second. Targeted fixes are needed before merge.

Add tests for the validation branches.

The test covers the success path and the missing-account case. It does not cover the invalid ids parameter or the over-500 ids limit. Add two more test cases to verify GetAccountLiveState returns http.StatusBadRequest for a malformed ids value and for a query with more than accountListPageMax ids.

Exercise the persisted probe path.

This test pre-populates ExpiresAt with grokCapabilityFailureTTL and only checks grokGenerationNeedsCapabilityProbe. A regression in the TTL assignment in runGrokCapabilityProbe would still pass. Add coverage that runs the probe, reloads the persisted capability, and verifies the 24-hour expiration for unsupported, rate-limited, and version-required observations.

Use a whitespace-complete SQL predicate.

TRIM does not classify tab-only or newline-only values as empty in PostgreSQL or SQLite. Line 770 uses strings.TrimSpace, so an incremental rollup can include a whitespace-only row that this rebuild excludes. A rebuild can then change reported totals.

Make every SQL predicate use a driver-specific normalizer equivalent to strings.TrimSpace. Add tab-only and newline-only fixtures for rebuilds, incremental rollups, and direct metric queries.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Both live-state apply callbacks always replace account objects, defeating row memoization every second. The shared root cause is that each callback maps every account into a new object on every 1-second poll tick regardless of whether active_requests changed, which breaks the memo() wrapping applied to the row/card components in each file.

  • frontend/src/pages/Accounts.tsx#L2435-L2448: in applyAccountLiveState, return the existing account object when active_requests is unchanged instead of always spreading a new object.
  • frontend/src/pages/GrokAccounts.tsx#L638-L648: apply the same identity-preserving check in its applyAccountLiveState.

… rerender churn

Follow-up to #518. Account health bars still counted grok_capability_probe
rows (including their errors), contradicting the end-user aggregation rule;
both SQLite and Postgres bucket queries now share endUserUsageLogPredicate.
The 1s live-state poll also replaced every account row object on each tick,
defeating row memoization and recomputing every accounts-page useMemo at
1 Hz; merging now preserves object identity for unchanged rows and returns
the original array when nothing changed.
