Refs #1217

Summary

  • Adds bounded durable streaming timeline (streamTimeline: upstreamDispatchMs, upstreamHeadersMs, upstreamFirstByteMs, upstreamFirstSemanticOutputMs, downstreamFirstWriteMs, upstreamEndMs, downstreamEndMs) and closed-enum failure attribution (failureSide: "upstream" | "relay" | "downstream" | "client" | "local", failureStage: "pre_dispatch" | "upstream_wait_headers" | "upstream_read" | "relay_transform" | "downstream_write" | "client_cancel" | "terminal_delivery") to persisted usage.jsonl entries and attempts.
  • Also preserves optional diagnostic strings transportPhase and terminalSource across process restarts.
  • Isolates inspected stream provenance so adapter/relay-generated translation failures are attributed as relay / relay_transform.
  • Gates upstreamFirstSemanticOutputMs strictly on arrival of actual semantic text/reasoning deltas.
  • Documents the persistence contract in structure/05_gui-and-management-api.md.
  • Enforces strict non-negative finite number validation and fails closed against invalid/malformed metadata.

Verification

  • bun test tests/request-log.test.ts tests/usage-log.test.ts tests/usage-summary.test.ts (152 pass, 0 fail, covering relay isolation, payload-gated semantic timeline, timeline serialization, failure side/stage normalization, and tail recovery)
  • bun test tests/core-lab-boundary.test.ts tests/repo-hygiene.test.ts (29 pass, 0 fail)
  • bun run typecheck (clean)
  • bun run privacy:scan (passed)
  • git diff --check (clean)

Checklist

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a086e

This PR adds persisted streaming timelines and failure attribution, but the current head can still lose request-history fields, misattribute local failures, and corrupt retry-attempt timing data. Merge should wait for these bounded diagnostics correctness issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

설명: 이 PR은 이슈 #1217 이 말한, 요청 기록에 스트림 단계 시간과 실패가 어디서 났는지를 남기라는 일의 저장 모양만 만든다. 지금 CURRENT dev HEAD 는 5921c20df 이다. 이번 시간에 origin/dev 가 ced9a85 에서 여기로 옮겼다. 착지한 코드는 #2309 / #2339 / #2335 / #2313 이고 #2369 는 문서만이다. package.json 은 2.27.0 이다. 지금 src/usage/log.ts 에는 durationMs, firstOutputMs, closeReason, errorCode, upstreamError 가 있다. 단계별 타임라인 칸은 없다. 지금 origin/dev 트리 어디에도 streamTimeline 문자열이 없다. 이 변경은 StreamTimeline, FailureSide, FailureStage 타입과 읽기 정규화만 넣는다. 고친 파일은 src/usage/log.ts 와 tests/usage-log.test.ts 둘이다. request-log 나 서버는 이 필드를 쓰지 않는다. 그래서 머지해도 새로 쌓이는 usage.jsonl 줄은 이 칸이 비어 있다. 테스트는 appendUsageEntry 로 직접 넣은 값을 다시 읽는지 본다. 실제 스트림이 값을 채우는지는 잠그지 않는다. 이슈 #1217 은 요청 히스토리에 타임라인과 실패 원인을 남기는 기능이다. 스키마만 있으면 화면에도, 로그에도 안 보인다. Closes #1217 은 이르다. 스키마 자체는 해가 거의 없다. 실패 쪽/단계는 닫힌 집합이다. 음수와 무한대 숫자는 버린다. 예전 줄은 그대로 읽힌다. 다만 transportPhase 와 terminalSource 는 임의 문자열을 길이만 잘라 남긴다. 닫힌 집합이 아니다. normalizeStreamTimeline 을 조건과 값에서 두 번 부른다. 동작은 같으나 모양만 어색하다. 체크리스트 4칸, 드래프트 아님. 카탈로그 팁은 Ox Alpha x-preview-f-free + deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp. Cursor #2334 미연결. 저장 모양만 있고 쓰는 코드가 없어서 46.

src/usage/log.ts StreamTimeline / FailureSide / FailureStage - 저장 모양만 추가한다. 서버가 값을 안 넣는다
src/usage/log.ts normalizeUsageEntry/Attempt - 읽을 때 잘못된 값은 버리고 알려진 열거만 남긴다
src/server/request-log.ts - 이 PR이 안 고친다. 실제 스트림 시각을 쓰는 자리가 여기다
tests/usage-log.test.ts - 손으로 넣은 한 줄을 다시 읽는다. 라이브 적재는 없다
transportPhase / terminalSource - 임의 문자열을 잘라 남긴다. 실패 열거와 달리 닫혀 있지 않다

메인테이너의 판단이 필요한 지점

너의 추천
스키마만으로 머지하지 않는 편이 낫다. Closes #1217 은 뺀다. request-log 가 단계 시각과 실패 쪽을 채우는 커밋이 같은 장에 있어야 이슈가 끝난다. #2365 캐시 요약과 한 장에 묶지 말 것. 둘 다 usage 이지만 파일이 다르다. types.ts 스플릿과 무관하다. 리베이스하지 말고 이 브랜치를 쓴다. 라벨은 그대로 둔다. 프리뷰 배포가 아니다.

Blocker: nothing persists, and the commit claims to close #1217

The serializer work is good — closed unions for transportPhase/terminalSource with allowlists, non-negative finite timings, old rows still parsing. That closes the CodeRabbit security thread properly.

But the fields never reach disk. Verified on this head:

addRequestLog(... all five fields ...)  ->  persisted {streamTimeline:null, failureSide:null,
                                              failureStage:null, transportPhase:null, terminalSource:null}
appendUsageEntry directly               ->  round-trips fine in usage.jsonl
requestLogEntryFromPersistedUsage       ->  projects all five back to null

RequestLogEntry was never extended, addFinalRequestLog copies only two of the five, addRequestLog rebuilds the usage row field-by-field and copies none, and requestLogEntryFromPersistedUsage — which GET /api/request-history/:requestId projects through — copies none. So live /api/logs can show transportPhase until restart, and durable history can never show any of it.

There is also no runtime producer: rg for streamTimeline / failureSide / failureStage hits only src/usage/log.ts and its test.

On closes #1217

The first commit message says closes #1217, though the PR body says Refs. #1217 asks for a durable timeline, attribution at runtime, protocol coverage, and API exposure — none of which this proves. Please drop the closing keyword until live rows carry runtime values; otherwise the issue closes on a schema that nothing writes.

Test quality

One of the two new tests is not load-bearing. Reverting src/usage/log.ts to base makes normalizes and preserves streamTimeline... fail (good), but drops unknown or invalid transportPhase and terminalSource still passes — the allowlist rebuild already dropped unknown keys before this PR. Assert instead that unknown values never appear in the raw JSONL line.

Landing this as an explicit schema-only slice is fine, if the next PR in the stack fills the request-log and history projection. As the #1217 fix, it is not there yet.

bonelag pushed a commit to bonelag/megaproxy that referenced this pull request Aug 22, 2026
Four candidates reviewed at their current heads, all four held back, and a
final count that is honest about a backlog which never stopped moving.

lidge-jun#2083 was the strongest remaining candidate - approved, mergeable, and with
security work that revert-testing confirmed is load-bearing. Its own test file
cannot parse: the mock exports only callXaiImages while fulfill.ts now also
imports resolveXaiAspectRatioLiteral, so the runner dies before any assertion
and the new aspect_ratio regression never executes.

lidge-jun#2366 persists nothing. addRequestLog wrote all five new fields as null and the
function request-history projects through returned them null, while the first
commit says closes lidge-jun#1217.

lidge-jun#2368 is confirmed complementary to the merged lidge-jun#2310 rather than redundant, but
sits 35 commits behind with an unrelated pacing test still bundled. lidge-jun#2033 is 615
behind with its file changed underneath it.

The open count went 45 to 45. That is the useful number: ten PRs merged and
eight closed while roughly as many arrived, three of them after this phase's own
inventory was taken. A backlog with active contributors is a flow, not a queue
that drains, so the measure is whether each item carries a recorded disposition
rather than whether the count fell.

Records the recurring defect class across six held PRs: the code does something
the description denies, and the tests pass either way. None was visible from the
diff; each needed the same move, which is to revert the hunk and watch what does
not go red.

Holding rather than closing. The capability is absent from dev - streamTimeline, upstreamFirstByteMs and failureSide do not exist, and the only failureStage match is unrelated local use in src/server/responses/codex-ws-exchange.ts. The reason not to proceed yet is #3748, which adds a privacy-safe local failure ledger, is non-draft and review-ready, and covers overlapping ground on failure attribution. Landing both would give us two failure-attribution schemas. Once #3748 lands we will re-scope this PR against what remains, most likely the stream timing fields rather than the failure enums.

Part of #5117

* fix(server): count buffered terminal failures and test real flows

Review fold: a buffered HTTP 200 with response.failed/incomplete was
parsed for the log but never reached metrics, counting as completed.
The bounded terminal enum now propagates from buffered inspection
through EOF finalization into the metric fact, while cancel (499) and
read-error (502) retain priority. New server-harness coverage drives
real HTTP retry, real WebSocket response.create, buffered
failed/incomplete, read-error priority, SSE EOF, cancellation, and
missing-vs-zero TTFT through authenticated scrapes.

Part of #5117

* test(server): fix the real-flow fixtures and the WebSocket wiring oracle

Hosted CI fold (run 35450374594): the buffered read-error stream errored
in start() before a downstream body existed, and its failure leaked the
spend-ledger owner into the next three cases. Streams now emit bytes
first and error on pull, the client consumes/cancels bodies explicitly,
every started server is tracked and fully stopped before the fixture
home changes, and afterEach awaits remaining servers. The WS source
oracle now expects the metrics-injected handler wiring while keeping its
idle-timeout and activation guards. Production lease policy unchanged.

Part of #5117

* fix(server): finalize failed pre-response reads before rethrow

Coordinator RCA fold: a bounded upstream JSON read that rejects before
handleResponses returns previously escaped addFinalRequestLog entirely.
The serve-options catch now records exactly one 502 non_stream failure
through the existing guarded finalizer and rethrows unchanged, so failed
missing-TTFT metrics are real. The cancel race test now awaits the
bounded promise resolved by the upstream stream's cancel callback (the
relay records the 499 before that callback), replacing any timing
assumption. Production lease behavior unchanged.

Part of #5117

* fix(server): classify pre-response client aborts as client_cancel

Review fold: a client abort during a buffered upstream read hits the new
catch before streaming cancel callbacks exist, and was misclassified as
502/non_stream. The catch now finalizes 499/client_cancel when the
request signal is aborted and 502/non_stream otherwise, with the
once-only guard and unchanged rethrow. A deterministic abort regression
(aborted 1, failed 0, sends 1, missing TTFT) awaits the upstream cancel
signal and the fetch rejection before scraping.

Part of #5117

* test(server): make the abort fixture observe the real outgoing signal

Review fold: the mocked body never observed the outgoing request's
signal, so a client abort did not propagate deterministically. The
fixture now follows the established signal-aware pattern: the mocked
outgoing request's signal errors the stream with signal.reason, every
wait is event-driven with a bounded deadline (read start, abort
observed, client outcome, finalized 499 row), and the metrics contract
assertions are unchanged. The SSE cancel case aborts the explicit
request signal after one real chunk and synchronizes on its finalized
row; no upstream cancel-callback assumption remains.

Part of #5117

* feat(server): add the test-only finalized-row observer seam

Mill's deterministic fixtures synchronize on retained request-history
rows; this is the observer they subscribe to. Empty by default,
notified synchronously after a row enters retained history, and
observer errors can never affect request logging. Required by the
already-pushed real-flow tests.

Part of #5117

* test(server): deterministic error-boundary and rejection-safe waits

Review fold: the read-error case now installs a narrow Bun.serve options
spy (the existing real-server pattern) with an explicit test-only error
handler that returns 500, asserts the exact expected fixture error, and
fails on any unexpected error — the real fetch/routing/finalization
pipeline stays active and production error behavior is unchanged. The
finalized-row subscription promise is now non-rejecting; deadlines apply
only at actual await sites, so an unattended subscription can never
unhandled-reject between tests. Abort and SSE cancellation stay
signal-aware and event-driven.

Part of #5117

* test(server): make the SSE cancellation mock observe the abort signal

Final harness fold: the second SSE responder now captures the outgoing
request signal and errors its stream with signal.reason on abort, so a
client abort rejects the pending inspection read and the relay finalizes
499 immediately — inside the existing 5s bound, with the production 15s
post-cancel drain unchanged.

Part of #5117

* fix(server): classify successful 101 upgrades as completed

Review fold: a successful sideband/dictation upgrade finalizes with 101
and was counted as failed because classification only covered 200-399.
101 now classifies as completed strictly after cancellation and
terminal-state precedence; a 101 with a failed or incomplete terminal
still counts as failed or incomplete. Regressions cover a real upgrade
flow and the precedence case.

Part of #5117

* test(server): activate the live upgrade fixture through the real eligibility path

Hosted CI fold: the fixture provider was ineligible for the real-time
relay, which refuses before the injected factory runs. The fixture now
declares a canonical openai-apikey provider with a fake key, the factory
call count proves the genuine 101 path was taken, and a bounded HTTP
upgrade probe captures refusal status/body on failure. Production
eligibility unchanged.

Part of #5117

* fix(server): finalize live-sideband exits and harden the upgrade fixture

Review fold: six post-context exits in the live-sideband path skipped
metrics finalization. A request-local idempotent finalizer now records
exactly one row for each (503 refusal, resolver exception, acquisition
cancel 499 / timeout 504 / internal 503, pre-upgrade cancel 499,
upgrade throw 502, upgrade refused 426), preserving statuses,
client_cancel semantics, and rethrow behavior; existing resolved/101
paths are unchanged. The upgrade fixture's upstream is now always
stopped via an outer try/finally with nested socket/metrics cleanup.

Part of #5117

* test(server): cover acquisition cancellation, deadline, and refusal paths

Review fold: real-route regressions for acquisition cancellation (one
499 client_cancel row, one aborted metric), the production 120s
acquisition deadline (one 504 row, timer captured via the established
audio-transcriptions precedent), capacity refusal (one 503 row), and
the resolver exception (one 500 row through the real error handler).
Each proves once-only finalization and exactly one logical metric.

Part of #5117

* test(providers): add fixed-phase timing diagnostics to the CodeBuddy timeout case

Diagnostic-only patch from campaign coordination, adjusted so the
assertion measures raw elapsed time (the clamp stays only in the
diagnostic string). Phase marks, classification, the 250ms comparison,
and the 10/10/35 budgets are unchanged. This labels the stall phase as
an observation; no root cause is claimed.

Part of #5117

* test(server): isolate acquisition fixtures with immediate try/finally

Review fold: the resolver and timer spies now enter their own try/finally
immediately after creation, with server cleanup nested inside, so a
startup throw can no longer leak a spy across the suite. All activation
and metric assertions unchanged.

Disposition from the retry and event-model consolidation that landed on dev as #5266 (043aa435ff8f86095f55cbe08f74d45b9858da59). That change fixes one stage, cause and resend vocabulary — pre-header, headers-only, protocol prelude, semantic output, side effect, terminal — and makes the shared cause dictionary total, so a missing member is a typecheck failure rather than an unactionable bucket.

This pull request is not superseded and is not being closed. Recording why it did not land in that branch, so the next step is explicit:

StreamTimeline, FailureSide and the seven-stage FailureStage are good source material, and this stores nothing in parallel. They are, however, a second stage vocabulary. Reconciling them with the one that landed is a rewrite of this pull request rather than a carry, and it is better done now that the substrate is on dev.

Carries the rehydration half of #2366 — the half that brings the durable
terminal facts out to where an operator reads them. Its separate attribution
vocabulary is deliberately left behind, because the landed stage and cause model
already owns that question and two vocabularies for one thing is the class of
defect this batch exists to remove.

The page classified every request by its numeric HTTP status alone and showed no
send count at all, so it disagreed with both other surfaces about the same
request. A turn cut short by max_output_tokens is durably incomplete and is
reported incomplete by the exporter; the page rendered a green 200. The data was
never missing — /api/logs spreads the whole durable entry — the page simply did
not declare terminalStatus, closeReason or spend.

It now declares them and calls the shared classifier rather than reimplementing
the precedence, so agreement is structural instead of a rule someone maintains.
It also shows the upstream send count, and names the unresolved remainder when
there is one, because a send total without it is how a duplicate-send incident
stays invisible.

The recovery-kind union is now the durable roster instead of a copy. The copy had
drifted to nine of thirteen members, so key-401, oauth-account-429,
opaque-blob-rejection and reasoning-effort-downgrade each reached the operator as
"Unknown recovery reason" — four real causes rendered as an absence of one. The
satisfies clause makes the next added kind a typecheck failure here rather than a
silent fallback, and the four missing labels are added across all ten catalogs.

* refactor(usage): one terminal classification for a finished request

Three surfaces answered "how did this request end" three different ways. The
durable row carries terminalStatus and closeReason, the Prometheus exporter had
its own private classifyResult, and the dashboard read the numeric HTTP status
and nothing else.

That is not cosmetic. A turn cut short by max_output_tokens is durably
status 200 with terminalStatus "incomplete", which the exporter reports as
incomplete and the dashboard rendered as a green 200: the metric and the
operator disagreed about whether the user got an answer.

Move the classifier into src/usage/request-outcome.ts and have the exporter
import it, including its result label set, so the four strings are stated once.
Semantic terminal facts are read before the numeric status, which is the whole
point; the status is consulted only when no terminal event was recorded.

The module also names the send totals a surface should show, because reporting
sends without the unresolved remainder is how a duplicate-send incident stays
invisible. It is a leaf: its only import is a type.

* fix(gui): make the logs page agree with the ledger and the exporter

Carries the rehydration half of #2366 — the half that brings the durable
terminal facts out to where an operator reads them. Its separate attribution
vocabulary is deliberately left behind, because the landed stage and cause model
already owns that question and two vocabularies for one thing is the class of
defect this batch exists to remove.

The page classified every request by its numeric HTTP status alone and showed no
send count at all, so it disagreed with both other surfaces about the same

silent fallback, and the four missing labels are added across all ten catalogs.

* test(usage): hold the three surfaces to one answer

The exporter is driven over the full cross product of status, terminal status
and close reason and its emitted result label is compared against the shared
classifier, so the two cannot drift apart without a case objecting. The cases
that actually broke are asserted by name as well: an incomplete 200 is not a
success, and a cancelled 200 is aborted.

A source oracle holds the dashboard to the same contract. It has to call the
shared classifier rather than read the status, it has to show the send total and
the unresolved remainder, and its recovery-label map has to cover every member of
the durable roster. That last one is a source oracle rather than a type check
because the page is compiled by a separate project, which is how the copy drifted
to nine of thirteen members unnoticed in the first place.

Every label key the page names is required to exist in all ten catalogs, so a new
recovery kind cannot ship with an English label and nine blanks.

One case asserts the exporter's whole label set is still protocol, result,
recovery and le after thirty-two requests carrying recoveries, which is the
bounded-cardinality promise stated as an assertion rather than a convention.

* docs(devlog): record lane C2 and refresh the deferred dispositions

Each item that did not land carries the reason that is true against current dev,
not the one written a day ago. #3748's blocker is now narrower and more useful
than "parallel store": the recorder does not yet record why a request finally
failed, so there is nothing closed to group by. #3983's emission path turns out
not to be ephemeral, because stderr is redirected to the service log under both
launchd and systemd. #5063 has a concurrent-append data-loss window that the
rename cannot see.

Retention and masking are stated in one table rather than reimplemented, with the
policy that projections inherit both instead of getting their own.

#2366 asked for durable failure attribution and shipped its own FailureSide and
seven-member FailureStage to carry it. Lane C2 took the rehydration half and left
that vocabulary behind, because defining a second one beside the stage and cause
model that had just landed is the class of defect that blocked 2.60.0. This is the
same answer expressed in the landed vocabulary.

PersistedUsageAttempt and PersistedUsageEntry now carry failureStage and
failureCause, both closed roster members. The resend verdict they imply is NOT
stored: it is derived at read time, so a row written by an older build can never
carry a verdict the current table would no longer reach.

The derivation reads only closed values -- an HTTP status, a terminal status, a
close reason, a transport phase, a recovery kind. errorCode and upstreamError are
deliberately excluded: both are assembled partly from upstream text, so a
classification keyed on them is a different answer per provider and per locale, and
a grouping key built from them cannot promise it carries no content. That exclusion
is what lets the pair be a Prometheus label and a fingerprint component without a
masking pass.

It runs at addFinalRequestLog, the one seam every request passes exactly once
whatever transport served it, and before the attempt snapshot, so the row that
reaches disk and the live attempt object carry the same pair. addRequestLog rebuilds
the persisted row field by field rather than spreading it, so the pair is written
there explicitly -- a field omitted at that line reaches /api/logs and never reaches
usage.jsonl, which is the surface the derived projection reads.

The stage and cause rosters move to src/usage/telemetry-contract.ts and
src/lib/request-failure-model.ts re-exports them, the same relocation lane C2 made
for the recovery roster and for the same reason: the dashboard renders a label per
member, and a type-only import of the table module would drag its import graph into
the browser project. The decision tables stay where they were.

The test runs over a cross product built from the rosters themselves rather than a
written-out list, so a member added later widens the space instead of leaving a case
nobody wrote.

* feat(metrics,gui): report the failure cause on every surface

Completes the agreement condition for the attribution the previous commit
records. The durable row carried a cause and nothing showed it, which is the same
shape as the defect lane C2 fixed: a real cause reaching the operator as an
absence of one.

The exporter gains opencodex_request_failures_total{protocol,cause}. It counts the
value the recorder derived rather than deriving one of its own, because the
recorder is the only place that sees the transport facts a cause needs, and two
derivations of one answer is exactly the disagreement this batch exists to remove.
The label set IS the shared dictionary rather than a copy of it. Cardinality is
fifteen causes across four protocols -- sixty series, fixed for the lifetime of the
roster, every value from a frozen list -- and it labels a counter, never a
histogram; a case asserts both.

/api/logs computes resendPermission at read time for the row and for each attempt.
It is never stored: the tables that decide it live in this build, and a row written
by an older one must not assert a permission the current tables would refuse. A
case asserts the pair is in the ledger module and the verdict is not.

The Logs detail dialog shows the cause, the stage it reached and the resend verdict,
and the attempt table leads its reason column with the cause, keeping the exact wire
errorCode behind it because that is what a bug report needs. Three satisfies clauses
make a missing label a typecheck failure rather than a silent fallback, and the
existing catalog oracle now covers the new key groups.

This trips the missing_ui_screenshot gate. This lane may not build or run the GUI,
so it cannot produce the screenshot; the gate fires on changed paths under gui/,
not on words in the description. The visible change is three rows added to the
detail dialog for a failed request and a named cause where the attempt table
previously showed a bare wire code.

* feat(usage): group recurring failures as a projection, not a second store

#3748 proposed a privacy-safe failure ledger and built it as a second SQLite store
beside usage.jsonl, keyed by a free-text signature that regular expressions tried
to mask. Both halves are replaced.

The store becomes a projection rebuilt from the canonical ledger. It holds a count
and two timestamps per group and nothing else, so deleting a row from usage.jsonl
removes it from this grouping on the next rebuild -- which is what it means for
retention to have one owner instead of four. It reads through the existing
scanUsageLedgerCooperatively and therefore inherits every bound that scanner
already enforces: the 1 MiB row ceiling, the 1 MiB chunk, the cooperative yield,
the opened-EOF snapshot boundary, and the path/device/inode/birthtime identity with
its 64 KiB boundary digest. A same-size file whose revision metadata moved forces a
rebuild rather than an append, so a replaced ledger can never extend stale groups.

The masked signature becomes a fixed-arity tuple of closed roster members. A regular
expression can only assert that it removed what it matched; a tuple whose every slot
is a member of a frozen list has nothing to remove. The input type cannot express a
model, an account, an error message, a prompt, a request id or a timestamp, so no
amount of upstream text can reach a fingerprint. Absent facts are explicit nulls in
fixed positions, because omitting them would let [a, null, b] and [a, b] collide.

The configured provider name is the one input that starts as free text -- users name
their own provider entries -- so it is resolved against the provider registry and
becomes null when it is not a registry member. A provider named after its owner
groups under null, which is the honest answer.

This exposed a real hole the fingerprint would otherwise have inherited:
terminalStatus was persisted as a plain string and copied through the normalizer on
truthiness alone, unlike the inbound protocol, transport phase and terminal source
beside it. Harmless while it was only rendered; not harmless as a grouping-key slot,
because the value is assembled from an upstream terminal frame. It is now the closed
type, derived from the outcome roster rather than restated, and validated on read
back.

Two parts of the original are deliberately absent. The occurrence list is a second
copy of history with its own retention policy. The mutable
monitoring/dispatched/fixed/ignored status and its notes are operator state, which
cannot be reconstructed from immutable request rows; presenting them as a derived
ledger would be presenting a claim this projection cannot make. They need their own
owner, keyed by the fingerprint, if they are wanted.

The reader is GET /api/usage?failures=1 rather than a new route: it answers a
different question from the usage summary and costs a scan, so it is opt-in and a
dashboard asking for spend does not pay for it.

* feat(responses): count what an attempt delivered, on the attempt

#3983 wanted the signals a stream diagnostic gives -- a missing terminal,
adapter-to-client loss, empty output, partial output size -- and emitted one debug
line per event to get them. Two things make that the wrong shape.

It is a second durable record. emitDebugLine writes the in-process ring AND stderr,
and stderr is redirected to the service log under both launchd and systemd, so an
installed service accumulates a per-event history beside the ledger with its own
retention, sequencing, request identity and masking. And per-event lines needed a
per-payload fingerprint to correlate; under a process-global random key that makes
every repeated prompt fragment, tool name and error message correlatable for the
lifetime of the process.

Five bounded counts on PersistedUsageAttempt answer the same questions and cannot
carry content at all. They ride the attempt, so they inherit the ledger's
normalization, masking and retention instead of acquiring their own, and the debug
ring now FORMATS one line per finalized attempt from what the recorder already
counted -- appendDebugLogLine directly, never emitDebugLine, so the ring is a live
view of the durable record rather than a parallel source for it.

The counting point matters. Adapter events are counted at the one seam every adapter
parse already passes; relayed frames are counted after a SUCCESSFUL controller
enqueue in the SSE bridge. Counting both at the reader would make the two numbers
equal by construction and erase the one discrepancy they exist to expose. The
recorder is bound to the request's translator budget -- an object every bridge on
the delivery path already receives -- and reaches the current attempt through a
callback rather than holding one, so a mid-request attempt rotation credits the
attempt that is live rather than one already finalized.

sideEffectEvents feeds the failure stage, which makes side-effect reachable for the
first time: a relayed tool call is an externally visible effect, so the resend
verdict refuses. Counting it at the transport rather than the adapter is what makes
that correct -- an emitted tool call the client never received has committed
nothing.

Two things from the original are deliberately absent: run-turn-execution.ts is
untouched, because its accounting distinguishes adapters that report their own
physical sends and carrying the PR's unconditional pre-count would double-charge
them; and no content HMAC exists anywhere here.

Also narrows the 400 refinement added earlier in this branch, after review: it now
consults only the LAST recovery recorded on the attempt, and a finalizer that can
prove a cause passes it directly instead. The key-account rotation now attributes
the attempt it seals, which previously reached the ledger with no attribution at all
because the finalization seam only ever sees the last attempt of a request.

* feat(usage): opt-in size limit for the usage ledger, with a revision contract

#5063 proposed retention on the canonical ledger, which is the right architecture:
the alternative is a projection that hides rows the ledger still has, and that is a
second retention policy. What its implementation could not promise is that a row
appended between its size snapshot and its rename survived -- it captured a size,
copied a suffix, and renamed over whatever was there. Its own concurrency test
performed two sequential calls and said so.

Two things close that here. The append is synchronous and the compaction runs inside
the same call stack, with no await between the append and the publication, so no
in-process append can interleave; a second server on the same home cannot append at
all, because it is refused by the existing ledger-owner lease at startup, which is
why the hook is installed after ownership rather than before. And
validateBeforeRename re-opens the target immediately before the rename and refuses
unless identity, size and revision metadata are byte-for-byte what was copied -- so
an append from anywhere else aborts the replacement rather than losing the row. Both
the original file and that append survive, and the next append retries from a fresh
revision. A test drives exactly that window through an injected hook, because a
contract nothing can drive is a contract nobody has checked.

Publication goes through the shared atomic writer rather than a hand-rolled temp
lifecycle, which is where the exclusive private temp, the identity assertions, the
platform-aware replace and the residual cleanup already live. The writer gains a
streaming form so the retained span is copied in bounded chunks instead of held in
memory as one string, and that form fsyncs the temp before the rename and does not
swallow the failure: a replacement whose replacement is not on disk can lose the
rows it was meant to keep.

Rows are copied byte for byte and never parsed or re-serialized. A retention pass
that understood the row shape would silently drop every field it was written before,
which for this branch would mean the failure stage and cause it just added.

The invalidation half was missing entirely from the original. Deleting rows
invalidates three readers that do not watch the file: the 2,000-entry Logs ring,
which otherwise keeps serving rows the ledger no longer has until eviction or a
restart; the retained usage aggregate and failure projection, whose checkpoints now
point past a boundary that moved; and the request-history index, whose source
identity changed. All three are discarded after a replacement.

This does NOT close #5063. The Usage-page control it also asks for is not here: this
branch may not build or run the GUI, so it cannot produce the screenshot that gate
requires, and shipping an unverifiable control is worse than shipping the policy the
control would set. The limit is settable in config.json today and the docs say so.

* fix(usage): read transport evidence before the status, and map 402

Adversarial review of this branch found three cases where the derived cause was
wrong against real request paths rather than against the fabricated facts the
first test used.

A stream that dies mid-flight is reported as a SYNTHETIC 502 -- a tail this proxy
wrote, with transportPhase mid_stream and the attempt marked aborted. Read in status
order that 502 became upstream-fault, which claims the origin answered when it did
not. Transport evidence now outranks the numeric status. Both causes refuse an
automatic resend, so this is an accuracy fix rather than a safety one, but a label
an operator cannot trust is a label they stop reading.

402 had no branch and fell through to payload-rejected, which made quota-exhausted
unreachable and pointed an operator at the payload when the account is what has to
change.

transport-unsent was reachable only through a fabricated status 0: a real connect
failure is formatted as 502 by the dispatch path. Worse, it was the FALL-THROUGH,
and it is the one transport cause that permits an automatic resend. It is now
reachable only through causeHint, from a site that classified a pre-connect failure
and can prove it; everything else answers transport-ambiguous, which is the honest
classification for an unknown execution state and the safe direction for a
permission decision.

Review also found the streamed atomic replacement fsynced the temp's contents and
not the directory entry recording the rename, so a host losing power after a
successful call could leave the old ledger or an indeterminate directory. The
streaming form now syncs the parent directory. Only that form does: it is the one
making a durability claim, and charging every config write for a promise its callers
were never given is a different change.

The regression cases now use the production shapes -- a synthetic 502 after
mid_stream, an aborted stream, an upstream 502 that stays an upstream fault -- rather
than a status no transport produces.

* fix(usage): count buffered delivery, and read rosters instead of restating them

Three findings from the second adversarial review round.

A non-streaming turn delivers its whole answer as one body and calls no per-frame
recorder, so every buffered response persisted adapter events with zero relayed
ones. That is the adapter-to-client loss signal, raised on every buffered request,
which makes the signal worthless. The buffered seam now records its delivery from
the body it built: everything the adapter produced did reach the client, in one
piece, and the semantic bytes and side effects are read from the assembled output.
The body is read by field name rather than by the adapter event union, so a member
added later is not a merge-time exhaustiveness failure in a counter that does not
need one.

Two tests claimed their cross products came from the declared vocabularies and then
wrote the members out by hand, which is how an added member leaves an exhaustive
test green without being exercised. They now read REQUEST_TERMINAL_STATUSES,
REQUEST_CLOSE_REASONS and a transport-phase roster that is declared once in the
contract leaf and consumed by the ledger validator instead of being stated twice.

INV-RESEND-01 named two enforcing tests while the structure checker binds only the
first, so the second was prose-only assurance. The attribution rule is now its own
INV-ATTRIBUTION-01 with one binding, and the test names it so the binding is
readable from both sides.

Adds the lane record, including the two limits this branch does not close: the six
intermediate attempt finalizers that still reach the ledger unattributed, and the
successful-recovery case that can still misattribute a 400. It also records a
pre-existing defect found while reviewing the atomic writer -- its scrub fallback
opens with "wx" and so always fails on an existing temp -- which is left alone
because it predates this branch and sits on a security-adjacent path.

* refactor(server): move failure attribution out of request-log.ts

The file-size ratchet reported NEW_OVERSIZED on the first exact-head run.
src/server/request-log.ts carries the whole request-logging surface and was 1,962
lines against the repository's 2,000-line seed threshold; the attribution wiring
pushed it to 2,015.

The remedy is a move, never a number: the cap only ever goes down, and a threshold
is not something to negotiate with. The two places a stage and cause are decided and
written -- the finalization seam, and the attempt sealed by a key-account rotation --
now live in src/server/request-log-failure-attribution.ts. Behaviour is unchanged:
the same facts go in, the same attempt is stamped before the snapshot, and the same
pair reaches the row.

request-log.ts is 1,979 lines after the move. That is 21 lines of headroom, which
the lane record notes for whoever touches this file next.

* fix(metrics): derive the exposition counts instead of restating them

Three exact-head failures, all from the new failure-cause counter and all in
assertions that counted by hand.

management-metrics-export.test.ts already derives its sample total from the closed
vocabularies -- its own comment says the literal "went stale the moment a bounded
label value was added, which is the failure mode this repository keeps hitting in
merges". The new counter's contribution is added to that arithmetic the same way.
Its HELP/TYPE assertion was the literal 7 the comment warns about, so it now reads
the metric names out of the exposition and asserts the two groups name the same set
exactly once each, which is what deterministic grouping means and what no added
metric can make stale.

The dashboard-union assertion matched the literal string "import type {
AttemptRecoveryKind", which broke when the import wrapped across lines to take the
three new names. It now matches the property it was testing -- the name arrives from
the contract leaf and the page declares no union of its own -- without depending on
how the import is formatted.

The public metrics table in the management-API reference gains the new series.

* fix(config): assert every temp writer keeps exclusive creation, not two of them

The streamed writer added a third openSync(path, "wx", 0o600) and the portability
test counted exactly two. The count was the weaker form of what it meant: the
property is that no temp writer in atomic-write.ts drops the O_CREAT bit, and that
holds for however many writers exist. It is now a set comparison over every
openSync on the temp path, which a fourth writer cannot make stale and an
unsafe spelling cannot pass.

The edit is line-neutral because that file sits exactly at its ratchet cap.
