feat(ai): track and persist per-turn agent token usage - #1177
Show provider-reported Agent token usage separately from the context indicator. Sum observable model calls, deduplicate by run ID, and distinguish complete, partial and unavailable usage. Cache and reasoning counts remain subsets of the core totals.
While a turn runs, show a muted cumulative token count beside the activity indicator. Completed replies show one short total-and-duration line, such as 12.3k tokens · 45s; input/output/cache/reasoning details stay in the hover/focus tooltip. Partial totals use the same concise line, and unavailable usage shows duration only. All 15 locales are updated.
Persist usage and elapsed time with the originating message in the existing project chat sidecar. Successful and stopped turns keep them on the assistant reply; failed or empty turns keep them on the user message. Project/session changes, delayed loads and rewind cannot attach results to another conversation or recreate a discarded turn. Older histories remain readable.
Rebased onto main at 5bb1b3fb after #1368. Preserve Stop's run-scoped cancellation, streamed reply text, and one save/undo step per turn. Completed-call usage survives cancellation, including partial totals when the next model call is interrupted. Switching sessions follows main's cancellation behavior and clears the running indicator; a saved result is reloaded on the originating session when needed.

Screenshots / video
Presentation evidence from the earlier real Electron 41.2.1 macOS pass, using a local scripted provider with synthetic counts:
The PNGs are removed from this branch as requested. These fixed-commit links and the checklist links remain available. The screenshots predate the Stop integration rebase; they are presentation evidence, not a new desktop run of this head.
Testing
Local validation on macOS with pinned Node 22.22.1 / npm 10.9.4:
Full unit suite: 5,127 passed, 8 skipped; 367 files passed, one skipped.
Both TypeScript configurations, i18n check, docs check and Vite build passed. npm run lint:fix: no errors, 26 existing warnings.
After the final integration assertions and reply-layout adjustment, the Stop/usage UI and real-HTTP cancellation suites passed 37 tests; test TypeScript and the Vite build passed again.
Coverage includes model-call accounting, missing/zero usage, failed turns, persisted stopped-turn usage/duration, rewind, delayed session loads, project/session switching, stale events, and Stop's single-save/single-undo behavior. A real LangChain/ChatOpenAI HTTP regression completes one call with 25 reported tokens, interrupts the next, and retains the 25-token partial total.
Earlier desktop validation covered presentation and quit/relaunch persistence through OS computer-use with an isolated profile and local scripted providers. Desktop E2E was not rerun after this rebase. Capture/preview/export, paid-provider billing and Windows/Linux runtime were not exercised; this is not release-promotion QA.
Known limitations
Provider usage is not a billing ledger: hidden SDK HTTP retries are not observable. The locked SDK drops explicit zero output usage in nonstreaming ChatOpenAI; that response remains partial. Running totals update at model-call completion, when authoritative usage becomes available.
No dependency changes, new database, Workbench scenarios, compaction changes, or execution-step/Markdown UI (#1169). Reverting this PR removes the display/accounting; optional usage fields in saved histories remain backward compatible.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added live and saved AI chat usage summaries with input/output tokens, optional cache and reasoning details, model-call coverage, usage status, and elapsed time.
Added localized usage details in tooltips across supported languages.
Bug Fixes
Prevented outdated chat results from appearing after session changes, rewinds, deletions, or project changes.
Improved handling of incomplete, unavailable, empty, failed, and legacy chat results.
Tests
Expanded coverage for usage summaries, persistence, localization, asynchronous session updates, and failure scenarios.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
Agent turns now aggregate provider-reported token usage and duration. Chat messages persist this metadata, and the transcript displays live and completed summaries with localized labels. Project, session, and turn checks reject stale asynchronous results.
Changes: Chat usage reporting
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Usage contract and turn accounting src/native/contracts.ts, electron/ai-edition/deep-agent/*
The AgentTurnUsage contract and accumulator normalize provider metadata, aggregate model-call usage, classify completeness, and return snapshots from agent execution.
Message persistence and turn binding electron/ai-edition/chat-persistence.ts, electron/ai-edition/chat-service.ts, electron/ipc/nativeBridge.ts, electron/ai-edition/*test.ts
Persistence validates usage and duration. Chat execution forwards usage events, stores metadata with the originating turn, and rejects results after project, session, or user-message changes.
Transcript state and usage display src/components/ai-edition/*, src/i18n/locales/*/editor.json, technical-documentation/testing/manual-e2e-checklist.md
The transcript carries live and persisted usage through session operations and renders localized token and duration summaries. Tests and manual results cover usage states, persistence, and stale asynchronous results.
getopenscreen/openscreen#1402 — Both changes add AiEditionChatResult.userMessage to return failed-turn metadata to the chat panel.
getopenscreen/openscreen#1368 — Adds run-scoped cancellation and stopped assistant messages; this PR records usage and duration on those messages.

Explanation
[#1096] Usage aggregation, status reporting, display, persistence, session isolation, and automated tests cover steps 1–3. The issue also requires reproducible Workbench measurements for short and long transcripts and repeated editing turns. The PR explicitly defers those scenarios; the existing Workbench registry does not identify dedicated scenarios for them.

Sorry for the slow answer @auberginewly, here's the direction on presentation: no need to invent anything, just follow what users already know from coding agents like Claude Code.
While a turn runs: a live, muted token count next to the activity indicator.
When it ends: one short line under the reply with the total and the duration (e.g. 12.3k tokens · 45s).
No input/output/cache breakdown in the chat itself; the tooltip can stay for that if it costs nothing.
Your usage tracking and persistence work stays as is, it's only the visible part. Please rebase on main (it conflicts now) and mark the PR ready, and I'll review it.
Thanks, that’s clear. I’ll follow this presentation: a live muted token count beside the activity indicator, then a short total-and-duration line under the reply. I’ll keep the breakdown in the tooltip, rebase onto main, resolve the conflicts, and mark the PR ready for review.
Updated and rebased onto main; this is now ready for review.
The running count sits beside the activity indicator, and completed replies show a compact total plus elapsed time. Input/output/cache/reasoning details remain in the tooltip. Running totals update when completed model calls report usage and are marked as a lower bound; unreported tokens are not estimated. The existing accounting and persistence behavior is preserved, with elapsed time saved alongside each turn.
Validation: 5,023 tests passed (8 skipped), both TypeScript checks, i18n and Vite build passed; lint has no errors and 26 existing warnings. In real Electron on macOS, a scripted two-call turn showed “≥10.3k tokens” while running and “12.3k tokens · 15s” when done. I also checked switching away/back during a turn and restoring the totals and durations after a full restart. The manual checklist records the chat-only slice and what was skipped.

Thanks, this follows the direction closely: live muted count by the spinner, 12.3k tokens · 15s under the reply, breakdown in the tooltip. A few small things before merge:
manual-e2e-checklist.md:998: drop the blank line so the 2026-10-21 row stays in the Results log table (CodeRabbit is right).
ChatUsageSummary.tsx:24-29: keep the chat line to total + duration only. For partial usage show 12.3k tokens · 45s; for unavailable show just the duration. The "known… incomplete" / "unavailable" nuance can live in the tooltip.
LeftPanel.tsx:1572/1581: "Thinking" now appears twice while reasoning streams (spinner row and ThinkingBlock label). Please keep one.
Could you attach a screenshot of the running state and of the completed line?
Reload the current session after a send overtakes session loading.
If an existing session is still loading when send() starts, the transcript version check discards that load. Successful and failed completion paths then update only the optimistic turn, so earlier messages remain hidden. Selecting another session and then the affected session restores the history.
Trigger the existing session reload after the turn completes and after activeTurnRef is cleared. A reload before that point is skipped by the load effect. This is a localized, low-risk correction; history merging is not required.

Thanks @auberginewly, all four points are done and the screenshots match what we had in mind. The Stop PR touches the same LeftPanel code, so we'll merge it first; once it lands, please rebase this one and we'll merge it. One small thing while you're there: please drop the two PNGs under technical-documentation/testing/screenshots from the branch. The links in the description point at your commit, so they keep working.
Hi @auberginewly, #1368 (agent Stop) is now merged and touches the same LeftPanel.tsx. Could you rebase this branch on main when you get a chance? Thanks!
Thanks @EtienneLescot! Rebased onto main at 5bb1b3fb after #1368; the updated head is 39a8a969. I also removed both PNGs from the branch and changed the checklist links to the original screenshot commit, so the images remain available.
The rebase keeps Stop's run-scoped cancellation, live reply text and one save/undo step per turn. Reported usage and duration are retained on stopped replies; switching sessions clears the running count and keeps results attached to their originating conversation. The requested compact presentation is unchanged.
Validation: 5,127 tests passed (8 skipped), both TypeScript checks, i18n, docs and Vite build passed; lint has no errors and 26 existing warnings. The final Stop/usage integration checks passed 37 tests, including a real SDK/HTTP case retaining the first model call's usage when the next call is stopped. CI is running on the new head. I updated the description to distinguish this validation from the earlier desktop screenshots; desktop E2E was not rerun after the rebase.
Thanks for the review and for coordinating the merge order!
Rebased onto current main (head a04eaccf0). The only conflict was in technical-documentation/testing/manual-e2e-checklist.md: both sides appended rows to the results log, so I kept both. Your commits and authorship are unchanged. Targeted tests, both typechecks, lint and i18n check pass locally. Thanks @auberginewly!
