What Changed

The Claude parent Context Window meter now keeps child task_progress totals out of the parent's active usedTokens. Child work raises the separate totalProcessedTokens through positive cumulative deltas keyed by task_id, so repeated progress and completion receipts count once while separate tasks add together.

The meter also uses the context window for the model serving the parent session. It follows SDK init, a session refusal fallback, and an explicit model switch. A local fallback for a child or side question does not change the parent model. Results that contain only cumulative totals, including total-only iterations entries, do not become active parent-context snapshots.

Why

task_progress reports a child's cumulative usage. The adapter previously treated that number as parent context usage and selected the largest window in modelUsage, which could also belong to a child.

reed-yang reproduced the bug on stable v0.0.38: a normal parent snapshot showed 628,352 / 1,000,000, then a child progress event saturated the meter at 1,000,000 / 1,000,000 while the running total was 1,525,466. Every saturated event in that reproduction came from task_progress.

This fixes the task-progress inflation and parent-window denominator reported in #4650 and #5942. Claude Agent SDK task usage is cumulative per task, so the adapter adds only each task's positive delta and keeps token, tool-use, and duration totals monotonic. This does not cover every post-compaction reset case in #4650, and totalProcessedTokens remains a meter total rather than SDK cost accounting across every query-pipeline call.

Verification

  • apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ClaudeAdapter.test.ts: 143 tests passed for 5a233da9e using byte-identical candidate files in the installed reference workspace.
  • Scoped format and lint passed for ClaudeAdapter.ts and ClaudeAdapter.test.ts.
  • Server typecheck passed for 5a233da9e.
  • Seven selected meter regressions passed with this adapter at d50d13212. Replacing only the adapter with the comparison-base version caused six failures. The pre-existing fallback case was the one pass.

The retained cases cover a 4,200-token parent beside a 900,000-token child, cumulative deltas from separate task IDs, a 200k parent beside a 1M child, init and explicit model selection, session and local refusal fallbacks, monotonic cumulative totals, and cumulative-only results. The two carryover cases requested from #6586 remain named does not treat total-only Claude result usage as active context and keeps subagent totals out of parent context when the result is total-only.

Local validation used Node 26.5.0; the repository requests Node ^24.13.1. Fork CI still requires maintainer approval. The expected required jobs are Test, Check, Mobile Native Static Analysis, and Release Smoke.

No new desktop before-and-after capture exists. The incorrect child model and effort labels in #7281 are separate and addressed by #7287. #8617 is related cumulative-result work, not the primary issue fixed here.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes provider token-usage and context-window semantics for Claude sessions; behavior is well-tested but affects UI meter accuracy and model setModel interaction after refusals.

Overview
Fixes the parent Context Window meter incorrectly treating subagent task_progress totals as the parent's own context usage and sometimes using a subagent's larger modelUsage window as the denominator.

Token accounting: Subagent progress now only bumps totalProcessedTokens (thread-wide running total), not usedTokens, and only after the parent already has usage and the cumulative total exceeds the parent's used count. Turn completion keeps that running total when the parent's result is smaller, and skips emitting a meter update when a result carries only total_tokens with no active input/output usage (avoids a falsely full bar).

Context window: max across modelUsage is replaced by preferring the session model's window, keyed via a new observedApiModelId from SDK init, model_refusal_fallback, or an explicit setModel—kept separate from currentApiModelId so a refusal fallback does not re-send the refused model on the next turn.

Tests in ClaudeAdapter.test.ts were expanded/rewritten to lock in the new contract (including #5942 scenarios).

Note

Scope Claude context meter to parent session and track observed model for window selection

  • Subagent task-progress token totals no longer create or increase parent usedTokens; they only advance totalProcessedTokens and only after a parent usage baseline exists
  • Added observedApiModelId to ClaudeSessionContext to track the SDK-reported serving model separately from currentApiModelId; claudeContextWindowFromModelUsage now prefers the session model's contextWindow over the largest reported window
  • completeTurn no longer treats total-only result usage as active context, preserves a larger prior cumulative total when a result reports a smaller one, and resolves maxTokens against the observed or selected session model
  • Init, model_refusal_fallback, and deliberate model selection each update observedApiModelId; subsequent turns with an unchanged selection do not re-call setModel after a refusal fallback
  • Risk: normalizeClaudeTaskProgressTokenUsage now requires an existing parent lastKnownTokenUsage baseline before emitting any usage snapshot — any caller relying on task-progress totals producing parent usedTokens events will see those events suppressed

Macroscope summarized 0ca6331.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Claude adapter now tracks cumulative subagent usage by task, keeps it separate from parent context usage, and selects context windows from the serving model. Completion handling ignores total-only usage as active parent usage. Tests cover progress, completion, model changes, and event collection.

Changes

Claude usage meter

Layer / File(s) Summary
Usage accounting normalization
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ClaudeAdapter.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ClaudeAdapter.test.ts
Task-progress usage uses per-task high-water marks and deltas. Subagent totals advance totalProcessedTokens without changing parent usedTokens. Tests cover missing baselines, multiple tasks, oversized totals, and persistent totals.
Serving model context-window tracking
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ClaudeAdapter.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ClaudeAdapter.test.ts
The session records the SDK-serving model from initialization, refusal fallbacks, and deliberate model switches. Context-window lookup prefers that model entry and falls back to the maximum only when no entry exists.
Completion usage reporting
apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ClaudeAdapter.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Layers/ClaudeAdapter.test.ts
Completion totals remain at least as high as the running total. Result snapshots are created only for active input/output usage. Total-only results do not create parent meter readings.

Thanks for working on this. I can confirm that the workflow context-meter inflation still occurs on the latest stable v0.0.38.

In one affected workflow thread, the latest normal parent snapshot reported 628,352 / 1,000,000. About six minutes later, a task_progress update pushed the displayed value to 1,000,000 / 1,000,000, while totalProcessedTokens was 1,525,466. All saturated events observed after the upgrade had the task_progress payload shape; none came from normal parent assistant/result snapshots.

The v0.0.38 tag and current main still contain the Math.max(totalTokens, lastUsedTokens) path in normalizeClaudeTaskProgressTokenUsage, so this PR still appears relevant to the workflow/task-progress part of #4650.

@SamGu-NRX, would you be willing to rebase this branch onto current main?

Could a maintainer also confirm whether #8453 is the preferred fix over #6586, and whether its current scope is acceptable or a smaller task-progress-only change would be easier to review?

The parent thread's Context Window meter counted tokens spent by its
subagents, and could measure them against the largest context window in
the agent tree rather than its own. A workflow with background agents
could drive the parent toward 100% while its own transcript was small.

Two paths caused it:

- normalizeClaudeTaskProgressTokenUsage folded each child's
  task_progress and task_notification total into the parent's used
  count via Math.max. A child's tokens live in the child's own context,
  so they now advance only totalProcessedTokens. Task usage arriving
  before the parent has any usage of its own emits no parent event,
  since there is no baseline to attach a running total to; the child's
  numbers still ride on the task.progress event.

- Where turn completion falls back to result modelUsage for the window,
  it took the maximum across every entry, so one 1M subagent widened a
  200k parent's denominator. It now prefers the session model's entry.
  When getContextUsage() answers, its maxTokens still wins and neither
  change applies.

Sessions without an explicit model selection had no recorded model to
key that lookup on, so system/init's model is now recorded when none is
set. Its value matches how modelUsage is keyed, suffix included. A
refusal retry swaps the model for the rest of the session, so
model_refusal_fallback now records the model that actually ran; without
it the lookup keys the rejected model and silently falls back.

Because child tokens now flow only into the running total, completing a
turn had to stop overwriting it with the parent's own smaller figure.
Total processed is cumulative thread work, so it keeps the larger value.

Fixes pingdotgg#5942
A subagent's first small progress tick produced a cumulative figure
below the parent's own used count, rendering as e.g. 3,000 used of
2,000 total (review finding on pingdotgg#8453). The snapshot builder already
drops such totals; now the no-op event is skipped entirely instead of
re-emitting the last snapshot unchanged.

Also states at the accumulation site why the running total is a floor
(Math.max) rather than a sum: the SDK does not document whether result
usage aggregates children, and double-counting would overstate work
while a floor only understates it.
Comments now state only what the code cannot: the floor-not-sum choice,
the snapshot invariant, and why init and refusal fallback record the
model. Removed restated mechanics and before/after changelog prose from
tests.
currentApiModelId is the last id handed to setModel, so sendTurn compares
the user's selection against it to decide whether a mid-thread switch still
needs sending. Recording the refusal fallback there made the next turn with
an unchanged selection look like a switch and re-send the model the API had
just refused.

The window lookup needs the model that actually ran, which after a refusal
is not the selected one, so it now reads a separate observedApiModelId that
init and the refusal fallback write and setModel never consults.
observedApiModelId tracked what init and the refusal fallback reported but
not a deliberate switch, so after sendTurn changed models the meter kept
measuring against the previous model's window - or fell through to the
maximum across modelUsage, which is the inflation this branch removes.
…gg#8610

Turn completion now prefers the last assistant usage over the cumulative
result total, so the parent's used count here is its real 12,000 rather
than the clamped window. The subagent total this guards is unchanged.
pingdotgg#9084 moved Claude's model ids, aliases and context windows out of server
source and into the manifest catalog, and gave the transport tests a
synthetic catalog so they stop depending on what the real manifest ships.
These tests still named claude-opus-4-6, claude-opus-5 and claude-sonnet-5,
and hardcoded the [1m] suffix that only ever came from manifest data, so
the refusal-resend test asserted a setModel id the catalog no longer
produces.

Every id now comes from ClaudeModelCatalog.testFixtures: the 200k session
model is SYNTHETIC_CLAUDE_STANDARD_MODEL selected with contextWindow
"standard", and the 1M model is SYNTHETIC_CLAUDE_CAPABLE_MODEL with
"expanded", whose suffix the fixture maps to [expanded]. The numbers and
the property each assertion pins are unchanged.
pingdotgg#9084 made startSession and sendTurn resolve the model catalog through an
Effect, which puts one more scheduler yield between the test fiber and the
adapter's message pump. A single Effect.yieldNow no longer reached the
point where an emitted SDK message has become a runtime event, so seven of
these tests saw no thread.token-usage.updated at all and the mid-thread
switch test read the init model after its own setModel.

Three yields is what the rest of the file already uses for collect-then-
assert tests; two is the current minimum, so this keeps a tick of margin.
Every one of these assertions checks the event exists before reading its
payload, so a future deepening fails loudly rather than passing vacuously.

Rebased onto main at 46e8b1a (head is now c7c8430). The adapter diff is the same; ten of this PR's tests needed their fixtures moved to the synthetic model catalog from #9084, which also added one scheduler tick to startSession. Both are test-only commits on top.

  • This file: 88 passed. Same tests against main's adapter: 9 fail, so the bug is still there.
  • Full server suite: 3,513 passed; the 4 failures are the macOS /var vs /private/var tmpdir assertions, identical on main.
  • Typecheck, vp fmt, vp lint: clean.

On #6586: it is 626 commits behind and no longer rebases (two conflicts in the adapter), and its approach drops the running thread total rather than scoping it. On scope: the three changes here are separable (task-progress accounting, which modelUsage entry supplies the window, refusal-fallback bookkeeping). If a maintainer prefers a task-progress-only PR I can split the first out in an hour; on its own it fixes the inflation but leaves the meter measuring a 200k parent against a 1M subagent's window, which is the second half of what #4650 reports.

Also noted #8617 (fixes #8594) in the Overlap section: same completeTurn, different lines, composes with this.

Note

🤖 GPT-6 Astra (preview) responding on behalf of Theo

This note is part of an automated cleanup pass.

Carryover from #6586 at 35fab5c3e8: retain the two total-only result cases in ClaudeAdapter.test.ts. A result containing only cumulative total_tokens, including one after child task progress, must not become a new active parent-context snapshot. The source guards resultIterationSnapshot with resultHasActiveUsage. Keep that behavior while preserving this PR's separate running total and parent-model window. This records a case to retain, not a claim that it has been ported.

Carried over from pingdotgg#6586 at 35fab5c: a result carrying only cumulative
total_tokens is the session's spend, not context occupancy, so building
an active snapshot from it rendered a full meter whenever a turn ended
without its own usage reading. resultIterationSnapshot is now gated on
resultHasActiveUsage; the cumulative figure still lands in the running
total. Replaces the clamp test that asserted the old rendering with
both of pingdotgg#6586's total-only cases, adapted to the synthetic catalog.

Ported at 0ca6331. resultIterationSnapshot is now gated on resultHasActiveUsage, and both total-only cases from #6586's 35fab5c are in ClaudeAdapter.test.ts, adapted to the #9084 synthetic catalog: does not treat total-only Claude result usage as active context and keeps subagent totals out of parent context when the result is total-only. They replace the clamps oversized test, which asserted the rendering being removed. Both verified failing without the gate. This PR's running total is unaffected: the cumulative figure still lands in totalProcessedTokens, it just no longer masquerades as usedTokens. File suite 89/89; against main's adapter at this branch's base, 11 fail (the regression set).

Preserve parent context accounting while retaining the current Claude fallback warning.

Updated at d50d132 by merging main at 5623089. The conflict resolution retains the newer fallback warning together with this PR's observed-model tracking. Only the adapter and its tests differ from that base.

The meter bug still reproduces against the fetched main adapter: six of seven selected regression cases fail there and all seven pass with this fix. The complete ClaudeAdapter file passes 137/137, and scoped formatting, lint, and server typechecking pass. Local tests used Node 26.5.0; the repository requests ^24.13.1.

I clarified the description because two separate symptoms were being conflated. This PR fixes child usage inflating the parent meter and the parent-model context-window denominator. It does not fix child model/effort labels in #7281 or every post-compaction reset case in #4650.

The label issue was observed on installed nightly 0.0.41-nightly.20260913.1646, with actual Opus child transcripts appearing as the Astra parent in resumed Workflow stages. That evidence is on #7281. #7287 is the separate attribution fix; I have not tested that PR on this installed nightly but it should work as expected.

Exclude total-only selected iterations from active usage.

If usage.iterations contains { total_tokens: N }, resultHasActiveUsage becomes true. normalizeClaudeActiveTokenUsage then selects that object, uses N as activeTokens, clamps it to contextWindow, and completeTurn can emit it as the parent context snapshot.

SDK 0.3.260 types require input and output fields for iteration entries, but its runtime preserves wire iterations entries without filtering. Require positive input or output usage from the selected iteration before setting resultHasActiveUsage.

860-863: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Aggregate task usage by task_id.

@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk emits task-scoped TaskUsage with a task_id; it does not provide a session-level total. Both task_progress and task_notification pass only message.usage to normalizeClaudeTaskProgressTokenUsage, which then uses Math.max across tasks. Two tasks that each report 100,000 tokens therefore leave the thread total at 100,000 instead of 200,000. When a later task raises the maximum, its lower tool_uses or duration_ms can also replace the previous thread snapshot.

Track the last usage by message.task_id. Add only positive per-task deltas to the thread totals. Preserve monotonic thread metadata. Add coverage for multiple task IDs.

Fixed the outside-diff finding in 927fda2ec. resultHasActiveUsage now requires positive input or output tokens from the selected iteration, so a total-only iteration cannot become the parent context snapshot. The two new total-only iteration cases fail before the fix and pass after it; a valid iteration with input and output usage still passes. The follow-up test cleanup at dce55a5a7 leaves all 142 ClaudeAdapter tests passing.

Verified and fixed in 5a233da9e. The Agent SDK changelog defines task_progress as cumulative usage metrics for a background agent, and the current TypeScript messages pair that usage with task_id.

The adapter now keeps a high-water mark per task and adds only positive deltas from both task_progress and task_notification. Repeated completion receipts no longer double-count, separate tasks add together, and tool_uses and duration_ms remain monotonic. The new multi-task regression passes with all 143 ClaudeAdapter tests; scoped format, lint, and server typecheck also pass.

Thanks for the PR. We're not taking changes to the orchestration and provider layers right now: that part of the server is being rewritten for V2, and merging into the current code would either conflict with or be thrown away by that work.

Closing for now. If this is still an issue once V2 lands, please reopen (or open a fresh PR against the new code) and we'll take a proper look.
