Conversation
The Anthropic usage parser declared four fields and dropped
usage.output_tokens_details on the floor, so ReasoningTokens was never
populated for Claude traffic. Everything downstream was already built for
it — usage.Counts.ReasoningTokens, KindReasoning in the PresentKinds
bitmask, the Add fold, and abctl's tokenSplit, which has been rendering a
"reasoning (of output)" line gated on a bit nothing ever set.
The parser carried a comment asserting that Anthropic does not expose
reasoning. That was true once. It is not now: the Messages API reports
usage.output_tokens_details.thinking_tokens, the share of output_tokens
spent on internal reasoning, and it arrives populated. The stale comment
is why the field stayed unread long after the wire carried it, so it is
replaced with the measured fact rather than deleted.
Two details the wire forces:
- thinking_tokens rides only on message_delta. message_start omits it
and the trailing message_stop carries a details-free usage block, so
the streaming fold takes it max-seen — the same shape as the
?beta=true prompt-cache counts, which had the same failure mode.
- Both the details object and the count inside it are pointers. A
gateway that forwards the key without the count reports nothing, and
must leave KindReasoning clear rather than assert a reported zero —
otherwise abctl prints "reasoning (of output) 0", which claims the
model did no reasoning when the truth is that nothing said.
Reasoning stays a subset of output, never a sibling: it is not added to
any total and gets no pricing tier of its own, because thinking bills at
the output rate and summing them would double-count every thinking token.
Verified against live claude-opus-5 turns, streaming and non-streaming.
Fixture usage blocks are captured verbatim from those turns.

Two surfaces, both existing, neither widened.
THE SPEND DRAWER gains reasoning as an indented child of output:
output 54% ████████████ $2.39
└ reasoning 31% ███████▏ $1.42
cache-read 35% ███████▉ $1.60
NOT a fifth tier, and that is the whole shape of it. Reasoning has no rate
of its own — it is a subset of output, billed at the output rate — so
numTierRows stays pinned to pricing.NumTiers, ApportionTiers still returns
four figures that sum to the bill, and the child is excluded from the shares
that total 100. Its money is apportioned from output's DISPLAYED figure so it
divides into the row directly above it, and it is clamped to that parent
because a child drawing a longer bar than its parent is the one lie this
layout can tell while looking authoritative.
The share stays denominated in the total, not in output. 56%-of-output is the
more interesting number, but two denominators in one column is the defect
renderTierRows already refuses, and the containment reads from the indent.
The row is ALWAYS rendered, showing the not-known cell when no split was
reported — never $0.00, which would claim the model did no reasoning when
nothing said either way. A height that followed its data is what
TestRenderTierRows_HeightIsConstant records as having overflowed this pane by
five rows and under-filled it by six.
THE DETAIL PANE gains reasoningTokens beside completionTokens, which is where
the exact per-event figure now lives. The events table is deliberately
untouched: it shows one total per row as it always has, because a column
tight enough to be dropped on a 150-column terminal is the wrong home for a
fifth figure, and this pane has room for the whole word.
"reasoning", not "thinking". That is the word every other surface here uses —
usage.Counts.ReasoningTokens, parsercommon's KindReasoning, and `abctl cost`'s
own "reasoning (of output)" line. Anthropic's wire field is thinking_tokens
and that name stays where it belongs, on the JSON tag that reads it.
tierLabelWidth moves 11 to 12: the longest label is no longer "cache-write"
but " └ reasoning", whose two leading columns are the indent.
TWO PRIOR DECISIONS REVERSED, deliberately, with the invariants behind them
kept:
- TestRenderTierRows_ReasoningIsNotATier asserted reasoning was absent from
this panel. It is now shown but still not a tier: the assertion moved from
its absence to its exclusion from the 100% and its indent.
- The panel's tree glyphs were removed for implying a parent that did not
exist. Reasoning is the first row that has one, so the guard now checks a
glyph's parent is on the preceding line rather than banning the glyph.
Also covers tokenSplit's reasoning line, which was written but unreachable
until the parser started setting KindReasoning.
Found by rendering rather than by reading: the drawer's assembly loop was
bounded by numTierRows, so the child row displaced a tier instead of adding to
one — cheapest first, so `input` silently vanished from a panel still claiming
to break down the whole bill.

The committed SVG is staleness-checked in CI and the tier panel gained a
line, shifting every row below it down 18px.
go -C authbridge/scripts/readme-demo run .
It renders as the not-known cell because the demo storyboard reports no
reasoning split. Correct for a provider exposing no counter, but it does mean
the headline asset carries a row with no figure in it — worth revisiting the
storyboard separately rather than smuggling fixture changes into an asset
regeneration.

Preserve an explicitly reported zero reasoning count.
If PresentKinds includes reasoning bit 16 and ReasoningTokens is zero, omitempty removes reasoningTokens from the JSON. filterForDetail also removes presentKinds, so the detail pane shows a reported zero as an unreported split. Use the presence bit to render reasoningTokens: 0 in response details. Test this case separately from an absent split. (pkg.go.dev)

Six review findings. Each fix is mutation-tested, because four of them were about guards and assertions that could not fail. 1. PRESENCE AND VALUE TRAVELLED ON DIFFERENT PATHS (anthropic.go). mergeAnthropicPromptMaxSeen unioned Present for every kind from both message_start and message_delta, but reasoning's VALUE was merged in the message_delta branch alone. A gateway relaying output_tokens_details on message_start would set KindReasoning with a value of 0, and `abctl cost` would print "reasoning (of output) 0" — the exact claim ThinkingTokensAbsent exists to forbid. The merge moves into the helper, renamed mergeAnthropicUsageMaxSeen since it no longer merges only the prompt side, and the union now sits beside the value merges so nothing can set a bit this function does not also fill. Mutation: removing the merge fails both streaming tests (0, want 119). 2. UNGUARDED tiers[i] (spend_drawer.go). The loop ran to tierPanelLines while the series column beside it guarded with i < len(rows), so a renderTierRows returning fewer rows was an out-of-range panic mid-render — a crashed TUI, from a contract held only by a test in another package. The bound is now read from the slice when there is one. Mutation: shortening renderTierRows panics with "index out of range [4] with length 4" under the old bound, and fails cleanly under the new one. 3. CLAMPS THAT NEVER EXECUTED (spend_tiers_reasoning_test.go). Every fixture was well-formed (948 of 1,593), so neither the money clamp nor the share clamp could fire, and ReasoningNeverExceedsOutput asserted an invariant its fixture made unreachable. It now runs three cases — well-formed, reasoning reported ABOVE output, and reasoning equal to output — and checks the drawn bar as well as the share, since clamping the percentage alone would still draw a child longer than its parent. Mutation: removing the clamps now fails with "reasoning is 132% of the bill but output is only 54%". Only the inverted case catches it, which is the point. 4. THE INNER NIL CHECK WAS UNTESTED (anthropic_test.go). No fixture carried output_tokens_details without a count inside it, so dropping the inner check broke nothing any test could see. Three shapes added: empty object, explicit null, and an unrelated sub-field. Mutation: dropping the check nil-derefs and panics the parser on a well-formed HTTP response. 5. tierRowsOnly MATCHED "ANY LEADING SPACE" rather than the child's label, so a tier row gaining an indent would silently shrink what the assertions iterate and several tests would weaken without failing. Now matched on childTierLabel, here and in the reasoning test's own helper — which had the same flaw and was not flagged. 6. AN UNRESOLVABLE CITATION (anthropic.go) is now the full URL.

MUST-FIX: drawnBarGlyphs counted nothing.
`r >= '▏' && r <= '█'` reads as "thinnest through fullest" and is
unsatisfiable: the block glyphs run BACKWARDS against visual width, '█'
being U+2588 and '▏' U+258F. The counter returned 0 for every row, so
`drawnBarGlyphs(child) > drawnBarGlyphs(parent)` was 0 > 0 and could not
fail — while the previous commit message claimed it "checks the drawn bar".
Verified: none of the eight glyphs satisfies the range.
Now a set membership test, which cannot be ordered wrongly, plus a guard
that fails the test outright if the counter counts nothing. A dead assertion
is worse than an absent one because it reads as coverage, so that class of
mistake now fails loudly.
The live mutant this left: pct derives from the ALREADY-clamped micros and
was then clamped a second time, so deleting only the MONEY clamp kept the
share assertion green while the figure and bar rendered ~2.5x output. The
previous round's mutation test removed both clamps together and so never saw
it. A money-cell assertion closes it — and it, not the bar, is what catches
it: with the clamp gone both bars saturate at full width and compare equal.
Mutation, money clamp alone: "the child's figure $6.0100 exceeds its
parent's $2.3900". Previously survived.
THE SHARE CLAMP WAS DEAD CODE, found by mutating it alone — that mutant
survived too. It is unreachable by construction:
floor(micros*100/total) <= floor(tiers[output]*100/total) <= shares[output]
the right step holding because tierShares only ever ADDS its rounding
remainder to the largest share. Removed rather than given a fixture that
cannot exist: unreachable code with an untestable branch implies a hazard
that is not there and invites protecting the wrong invariant. The now-unused
shares parameter goes with it.
DERIVING THE LOOP BOUND HAD REMOVED THE CEILING (spend_drawer.go).
`bound = len(tiers)` fixed the panic but left nothing capping the loop in
two-column mode, so a renderTierRows returning MORE rows would emit more
body rows than spendDrawerLines reserves and push the footer off the
terminal — the failure the comment above it documents. min(tierPanelLines,
len(tiers)) holds both ends.
THE NEW INVARIANT SENTENCE WAS FALSE FOR OUTPUT (anthropic.go). "nothing can
set a bit this function does not also fill" is refuted two paragraphs later
by "Output is deliberately NOT here": toNeutral asserts KindOutput
unconditionally. The exception is now named, because an absolute claim its
own next paragraph contradicts is the shape of comment that finding rossoctl#1's
history shows is expensive here.

…g fix 1. A REPORTED SPLIT COULD RENDER $0.00 (spend_tiers.go). The apportionment multiply truncates, so a real reasoning count whose share of the window falls under one micro produced micros == 0 and printed "$0.00" — asserting the reasoning was FREE, the one claim renderTierRows refuses for a tier. Tiers escape that through `tiers[tier] == 0 -> emptyCell`; the child had no equivalent. Reproduced before fixing: 1 reasoning token of 900 output against 300 apportioned output micros gives 0.333, and the panel rendered " └ reasoning 0% $0.00" while every other row on the same panel showed "<$0.01". Reachable on any small window. Now returns the not-known cell. Deliberately not "<$0.01": that form means "too small to state", while what is true is that the apportionment resolved no figure at all. 2. THE HEADLINE BUG FIX HAD NO REGRESSION TEST (spend_drawer_test.go). The assembly loop being bounded by numTierRows — which DISPLACED the cheapest tier instead of adding the child, so `input` vanished from a panel still claiming to break down the whole bill — was found by rendering the panel and reading it, and fixed without pinning it. Only the line COUNT was asserted, and the count was right either way: five left rows. Three tests added: every tier label plus the child is emitted (both reported and unreported), the child directly follows output IN THE DRAWER rather than only in renderTierRows, and with a split reported the child carries a figure. No drawer fixture set ReasoningTokens/PresentKinds before, so the drawer had only ever been rendered with the not-known child; reasoningSnap fixes that. Mutation, restoring the numTierRows bound: 'the panel omits the "input" tier'. Previously green. 3. README SAMPLE WAS STALE (cmd/abctl/README.md). Hand-written and not staleness-checked, unlike the SVG: four tier rows where the child makes it always five, and no % column — the latter already stale before this PR. The sample is now copied from a real render. The stated two-column threshold was wrong before this PR (84, written as 72) and this PR moves it to 85, since tierLabelWidth grew for " └ reasoning". Corrected, and the child's semantics are described. 4. THE PROPOSAL RECORDED THE DECISION THIS PR REVERSES (docs/proposals/cost-tier-breakdown.md). §3.5 said reasoning stays "out of the bars" and criterion 5 said it "never appears as a bar and never joins the sum". The sum half holds and is still enforced; the bar half is superseded. Both are now marked, with what changed and what did not — a proposal is a decision record, so superseding one belongs in it rather than only in a PR body.

Eight suggestions. Five are my own dead or misdescribed assertions, which is
the third round running that this class has come back, so each replacement is
mutation-checked rather than reasoned about.
5. THREE TAUTOLOGIES REMOVED. `numTierRows != pricing.NumTiers` and
`tierPanelLines != numTierRows+1` each restate a const's own definition, and
`spendDrawerLines < tierPanelLines` cannot fail because spendDrawerLines is
max(tierPanelLines, ...)+2. All three compared a constant to itself. Replaced
with properties of the RENDER that can fail: the summing rows still number
exactly pricing.NumTiers, and the drawer's emitted line count does not exceed
its reservation.
6. THE MONEY ASSERTION COULD SKIP ITSELF. `if rOK && oOK && ...` filtered on
the figures being parseable, so the moment the child rendered not-known the
comparison silently vanished. The bar had an explicit liveness guard and the
money did not; now both fail loudly instead.
7. THE "equal to output" SUBTEST NAMED A DIRECTION IT COULD NOT TEST. Its
comment claimed clamping "must not overshoot into making the child smaller",
while every comparison in the loop is `>`. That direction now has its own
assertion, in the only case that can witness it: all output was reasoning, so
the child must render its parent's figure exactly.
8. A STALE RATIONALE, the same defect the parser comment was rewritten to fix,
two files away. The money assertion was justified by a share "clamped a
SECOND time" — a clamp removed as unreachable in the previous round. The real
reason is floor division collapsing a range of micros onto one percentage.
9. THE PRESENT BIT WAS NOT ACTUALLY PINNED. tokenSplit gates on
`bit == 0 && v == 0`, and the existing test left both zero — so a renderer
gated only on the value passed identically. Two cases where the halves
disagree: a REPORTED zero (bit set, value 0) must render, and a legacy
producer (bit clear, value non-zero) must too.
Mutation, gating on the value alone: 'tokenSplit = "output 1.6k", want a
reasoning line for a REPORTED zero'. Previously green.
10. `!ok || bit == 0 && value == 0` now parenthesised, and the comment no longer
opens "the present bit decides" when the value decides with it.
11. THE SUBSET INVARIANT IS DISPLAY-ONLY, and that is now written down rather
than left as an accident. A provider reporting reasoning > output is stored
as reported: `abctl cost` and the detail pane print the contradiction, which
is the only way a reader notices the provider's bug, and clamping at ingest
would make every surface agree on a number nobody measured. The drawer
clamps because a bar longer than its parent is a containment claim the
LAYOUT makes rather than relays. Numbers stay faithful; geometry does not
lie. Recorded at the clamp and on usage.Counts.ReasoningTokens.
12. THE DEMO STORYBOARD NOW REPORTS A SPLIT, so the flagship asset shows
"└ reasoning 17% ████▉ $0.11" instead of a permanent "—". The previous
deferral blamed "editing fixtures inside an asset regeneration"; the real
obstacle was that the loader had no reasoning field, which is three lines —
a yaml field, one assignment, and reasoning deliberately NOT added to
TotalTokens. The stated reason was weaker than the actual one, so the work
was worth doing rather than tracking.

… the rule
2. THE GLYPH TEST PASSED VACUOUSLY. HasNoOrphanTreeGlyph skips any row without a
"└", so flattening childTierLabel to no glyph made every iteration skip and
the test go green — the drawnBarGlyphs shape again, in a test I did not think
to apply that lesson to. Counts the glyph rows and fails if none.
3. THE ONE-COLUMN DRAWER HAD GROWN A ROW. spendDrawerLines went 6 to 7 when the
tier column gained the child, and the reservation is unconditional — so a
narrow terminal, which has no tier column at all, permanently lost a body row
to a child that cannot render there. The narrow path's own doc comment
("degrades to exactly the per-model drawer that shipped before") and the
proposal's criterion 7 were both false by one line, and nothing checked the
count.
Reservation is now width-aware, which is defensible where varying by the DATA
is not: width is known wherever layout asks. The one-column bound is the
series count rather than tierPanelLines, so it no longer walks an always-empty
fifth slot. Pinned at both widths, and the error-path test now compares
against the reservation for its width rather than the constant — same
invariant, emitted equals reserved, parameterised by the one input that is
known.
4. THE APPORTIONMENT RULE LIVED ONLY IN package tui. ApportionTiers documents
itself as the one place that arithmetic lives, and costJSON.Tiers refuses a
local reimplementation in as many words — then reasoningChildRow derived a
reasoning figure (ratio, clamp, sub-micro refusal) inside the drawer, where
`abctl cost --json` could not reach it. A consumer wanting the number the TUI
draws had to reimplement the unpublished rule.
Now usage.ApportionReasoning, beside ApportionTiers, called by both the drawer
and a new `tiers.reasoningOfOutput` — a POINTER and inside output, so absent
still means "no defensible figure" rather than "free", and the four tiers keep
summing to CostMicros without it. Eight tests on the four refusal paths, the
clamp, and the legacy-producer case.
5. COMMENT ARCHAEOLOGY, against my own trim rule. spend_tiers.go carried
sentences narrating this PR's review rounds — a guard that "was written here
first and was unreachable", and in the test file a comment correcting a
previous version of itself. The invariants stay; the was-written/was-removed
history is commit-message material and is already here. spend_tiers.go is net
shorter.

…ok=true
1. NEGATIVE MONEY, ok=true. With ReasoningTokens negative and the present bit set,
both guards pass, the ratio goes negative, the upper clamp does not fire and the
`micros == 0` escape does not either: (-595103, true), reproduced. --json would
publish a negative reasoningOfOutput and the drawer would hand it to tierBar.
plausibleTokenReport does screen negatives at ingest, which is exactly the
defence addSat refuses for itself in this same package — "unreachable today" is
how the wrap arrived, and a half-guarded figure invites a reader to conclude the
other half was ruled out. ApportionReasoning is exported and was clamped on the
upper side only. `ReasoningTokens <= 0` now refuses, which also subsumes the
reported-zero case that used to reach the truncation escape.
2. THE README STATED A FACT THIS PACKAGE CONTRADICTS. It said the row shows "—"
when the provider reports no split, "as every non-Anthropic endpoint does" —
but the OpenAI-format parser has always read
completion_tokens_details.reasoning_tokens and set KindReasoning, so
OpenAI-compatible endpoints behind litellm do report one. This PR adds the
Anthropic path, not the first one. Shipping a new stale claim in a PR whose
subject is a stale claim; rewritten to name both wire fields.
3. THE WIDTH CHANGE TURNED A LIVE ASSERTION DEAD. The error path pads to
spendDrawerLinesFor(width)-1 and appends one hint line, so asserting against
spendDrawerLinesFor compared the renderer with its own padding rule. The
constant it replaced was an independent witness. Now a literal table —
{20,6},{40,6},{72,6},{120,7} — which also documents that only 120 clears
spendDrawerTwoColumnMin, so two columns are exercised at one width.
4. THE JSON FIGURE WAS PINNED TO ITS OWN DERIVATION. `want, ok :=
c.ApportionReasoning(got.Output)` is the same receiver and argument tiersJSONOf
passes, so the surface could publish any wrong figure silently; the adjacent
`> got.Output` check was fixture-guaranteed too. Replaced with a hand-derived
literal, and the derivation is written out beside it.
5. A GUARD CLAUSE THAT COULD NOT FIRE. `Contains(l, "reasoning") &&
!HasPrefix(l, childTierLabel)` — the row is formatted FROM childTierLabel, so
the second half is always false and flattening the label kept it green. The
indent is now asserted on the LABEL, which is the thing that can change, plus a
found-the-row guard.
6. THE RESERVATION AND THE LOOP DISAGREED ABOUT WHICH COLUMN CAN BE TALLER.
spendDrawerLinesFor reserves max(tierPanelLines, spendDrawerSeries+1); the bound
was min(tierPanelLines, len(tiers)), ignoring the series count. They agreed only
because spendDrawerSeries+1 is 4 against tierPanelLines' 5 — an unstated
inequality, not construction, and raising spendDrawerSeries would have truncated
the series column while the reservation still held room. Both now encode "the
taller column governs", and the comment claiming otherwise is gone.
7. THE MISSING CASES. Three negatives on ApportionReasoning (count, output count,
output money) asserting the result is neither non-zero nor negative; a reported
zero and a negative through renderTierRows, the surface carrying the "$0.00 is a
lie" rule; and a wire fixture with "thinking_tokens": 0, which the
partially-absent shapes cannot express — the count is PRESENT and zero, so
KindReasoning must be SET.
8. NOT FIXED, deliberately: the two parsers diverge on a details object with no
count. Anthropic uses *int so an empty object leaves the bit clear; the OpenAI
path uses a plain int and sets the bit on object presence, asserting a reported
zero. The stricter invariant is on one side only. Changing the OpenAI path would
alter behaviour for every OpenAI-format endpoint, which is not this PR's subject
— recorded here rather than silently left.

…ented 1. A GUARD THAT UNDID ITS OWN GUARD. Round 5 added max(..., spendDrawerSeries+1) to the loop bound so the reservation and the loop encoded the same height rule. That max restores 4 for any len(tiers) < 4 — reinstating the exact out-of-range read on tiers[i] the min beside it was added to prevent, under a seven-line comment explaining why that panic matters. Both concerns were real and neither belonged in the bound: height is a layout fact, the index is a slice fact. The bound is now derived from spendDrawerLinesFor(width)-2, so the loop cannot disagree with the reservation at all, and the index is guarded where it is read. Mutation, renderTierRows returning 2 rows: zero panics, tests fail cleanly. With the max bound that input was an index-out-of-range mid-render. 2. A BRANCH ROUND 6 MADE DEAD. `bit == 0 && value == 0` is entirely subsumed by the `ReasoningTokens <= 0` check added below it — every input reaching one fails the other, and the doc's "four ways to get ok=false" were three. Removed, and the doc now says the present bit is not consulted here and why: the bit separates "nothing reported" from "reported zero", which matters to a renderer choosing between the not-known cell and "$0.00", but neither has a figure to apportion. 3. THE TWO ASSERTIONS MEANT TO PIN (1) WERE ONE-SIDED. `tierPanelLines < want` passed when the panel returned FEWER rows — the case (1) panics on — and `got > spendDrawerLines` passed on under-emission, which is the floating-footer bug this file documents. Both are equalities now, the second against spendDrawerLinesFor(width) rather than the two-column constant. Mutation, renderTierRows returning 4: "the panel renders 4 lines but tierPanelLines is 5". Previously green. 4. THE CHILD ROW HAD NO ALIGNMENT COVERAGE. MoneyIsRightAligned wraps its input in tierRowsOnly and then locks the exclusion in with len(ends) != numTierRows, so the one row this feature adds sits outside the alignment every other row is asserted to obey — and it is the likeliest to break it, its label being what forced tierLabelWidth from 11 to 12. Its money column is now measured against a tier's, and childTierLabel's length against tierLabelWidth, which spend_tiers.go claimed in a comment and nothing checked. 5. A PUBLISHED KEY NAME THAT NOTHING MARSHALLED. Every assertion on costTiersJSON read struct fields, where the json tag is invisible: a typo'd tag, or omitempty dropped so absence serialises as null, shipped silently on a contract scripts consume. Asserted through json.Marshal now, both the key with its figure and its total absence when there is none. Mutation, renaming the tag to reasoning_of_output: caught. 7. Still not fixed, still deliberate: the OpenAI path sets KindReasoning on details-object presence where the Anthropic path requires the count. Changing it moves behaviour for every OpenAI-format endpoint and is not this PR's subject. Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>
7. THE PARITY GAP, now closed rather than filed. plugin.go set KindReasoning on
presence of completion_tokens_details with a non-pointer count — the exact
"details present, count absent → bit set with value 0" defect the Anthropic
path checks both pointers to avoid, and that this PR's own test forbids on that
side. Leaving it diverged got harder to justify once this PR made the bit
visible in the detail pane and the README claimed both wire fields are read.
Mirrored to *int. The existing reported-zero test still passes unchanged — a
count present and zero keeps setting the bit, which is a measurement — so only
the false zero changes. Three shapes added: empty object, explicit null,
unrelated sub-field.
PromptTokensDetails.CachedTokens has the identical shape and exposure. Left
alone and noted in place: changing cache-read's presence rule moves a figure
this change is not about.
8. COMMENT TRIM, measured rather than argued. 70% of added production lines were
comments against 57% for these same files at the branch base, so the gap was
real and not a ratio complaint — my own rule is to cut by reading.
Cut: the round-by-round narration this PR's commits already carry ("it was
written here first", "the two agreed only because", "a max wrapper added later
put that panic back"), and rationale stated twice — ApportionReasoning's body
re-explaining its own doc contract, childTierLabel and numTierRows each
arguing that reasoning is not a tier, the anthropicUsage struct and toNeutral
both explaining the pointer.
Kept: the invariants, the non-obvious constraints (why the bound derives from
the reservation, why the subset relation is display-only, why the present bit
is not consulted), and the two places recording a decision a later reader would
otherwise reverse.
70% to 66%, 42 comment lines removed, no invariant dropped. The remaining gap
over baseline is invariant statements this feature genuinely needs — a subset
that must not be summed, a height that must not follow its data — and cutting
to hit 57% would mean cutting those.

1. THE ROUND-5 CALL SITE HAD NO COVERAGE. Reverting keys.go to the flat spendDrawerLines constant left the whole tui package green: spendDrawerLinesFor is well tested, its caller was not. Writing the test against fitSizes did not fix that — it still passed reverted, because fitSizes has no entry both narrow enough for one column (< 85) and tall enough to open the drawer (>= spendDrawerMinHeight, 27): its sub-85 widths are 20 and 24 rows, so `$` never expands and every case was vacuous. Measured with a probe rather than assumed. Sizes are now chosen — 80x30, 84x40, 85x40, 120x40 — the drawer is opened through the real key, height is asserted as an EQUALITY (assertFits only tests "not taller", and over-reservation makes the view SHORTER), and the test fatals if no one-column width was exercised so it cannot go vacuous again. Mutation: "80x30 with the drawer open: view is 29 lines, want exactly 30". 2. A COMMENT DESCRIBING A REVERTED IMPLEMENTATION. Round 7 replaced the min with a bound derived from the reservation; my replacement anchored on different text and left the argument for the min in place, immediately contradicted by the paragraph below it. Deleted. 3. THE 0 > 0 HOLE WAS STILL OPEN ON THE CHILD SIDE. The liveness guard covered the PARENT's glyph count, so `child > parent` still passed when the CHILD drew nothing — 0 > 12. A child rendered with no bar at all was green. Both operands are guarded now, and the equal case pins the bars equal, which is the only way to catch a clamp that subtracts. Mutation, child rendered bar-less: previously green, now fatal. 4. The equal-case assertion was gated on `tc.name == "reasoning equal to output"`, so renaming the case would have disabled it silently. A wantEqual field instead. 5. ChildCarriesItsFigure asserted only that the cell contains "$", which passes on any amount — including one apportioned from OutputCostMicros rather than output's displayed figure, the distinction ApportionReasoning exists to make. The drawer was the one surface with no value pinned; it now asserts $3.48. 6. HeightIsConstant swept 7 widths x 5 fixtures with no split among them, so the populated child only ever rendered at tierColumnWidth and reasoningChildRow's bar-less branch never rendered at all. reasoningCounts added to the map. 7. Two guards are unreachable by construction — the tiers[i] bound check and insertAfterOutput's at := len(rows) fallback. Both are kept, on addSat's precedent, but the comments claimed a live hazard where addSat says "unreachable through the aggregator today". They say so now.

…rowth 1. spendDrawerMinHeight WAS A LITERAL THAT DID NOT MOVE. The reasoning child took the drawer from six rows to seven; the floor stayed at 27, which was spendStripMinHeight + 6 + a separator. At a 27-row terminal the table body therefore lost a row against main while the flash still told the user the breakdown needs 27. Derived now — spendStripMinHeight + spendDrawerLines + dividerLines, 28 — which is the rule spendDrawerLines' own doc states about itself. spendDrawerLines and not spendDrawerLinesFor: a floor must admit the TALLEST form, or widening the terminal would squeeze the table. A behavioural guard is added and its limits are stated in place: now that the floor is derived, any assertion against its own components is a tautology, so a one-row drift is NOT detectable by test — 14 body rows against 15, with no non-arbitrary threshold between them. What the test catches is a floor that has come loose entirely. The derivation guards the single row. 2. A TOKEN RATIO APPLIED TO A COST FIGURE, undocumented. ApportionReasoning scales output's money by ReasoningTokens/OutputTokens, which is the share of output SPEND only where every model in the window bills output at one rate — an expensive model that did no reasoning beside a cheap one that was nearly all reasoning is off by the spread between those rates, an order of magnitude rather than a rounding. ApportionTiers states its own approximation in capitals; this one said nothing. Now named at the function and in the README, which told the reader the tier rows are "modelled, not measured" without saying the child is modelled twice. 3. A RATIONALE FALSE IN THE DIRECTION IT LED WITH. "EXACTLY tierLabelWidth runes so the bars still start at one column" — fmt's %-*s PADS a short label, so shorter is harmless; only longer is a hazard, because fmt does not truncate. Shortening childTierLabel to " └ reason" leaves the alignment test passing. The assertion is a ceiling now, with the real reason, plus a measured check of the alignment it exists to protect. 4. THE CHILD'S NO-BAR BRANCH WAS UNASSERTED, and this PR exempted it: replacing tierRowsOnly's leading-space predicate with childTierLabel removed the child from TheBarYieldsBeforeTheShare. Deleting reasoningChildRow's `budget > 0` arm left the whole package green. The first version of the new test also passed under that mutation — at a budget of 0 the bar formats to nothing, so both branches produce a bar-less row and a glyph count cannot separate them. The difference is one space, which pushes the row a column over and clipRow truncates "$1.42" to "$1.4" — a figure that still parses. Asserted on the figure against the same data rendered wide. Mutation: "the child's figure is $1.4000 narrow against $1.4200 wide". Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>
2. insertAfterOutput'S RANK SEARCH WAS UNASSERTED. Replacing it with `at := 1` left
the whole tui package green: every adjacency fixture happened to rank output
FIRST, so a fixed index was indistinguishable from following the rank. The
committed demo SVG does exercise the non-zero case — cache-read outranks output
there and the child lands at index 2 — so the behaviour was live with only a
picture to prove it.
A fixture that ranks output LAST, which is also the shape a cache-heavy agent
turn produces, plus a guard that fails if output comes out first so the case
cannot quietly stop distinguishing anything.
Mutation: "output is at 3 and the child at 1; the child must follow its parent's
RANK, not a fixed line".
5. THE README'S WIDTH THRESHOLD IS PINNED TO THE CONSTANT. 85 is a literal derived
from seven constants, and it had already drifted once before this PR (72 against
an actual 84) before this PR moved it again. A three-line test asserts the README
mentions strconv.Itoa(spendDrawerTwoColumnMin) — the same idea as the demo SVG's
staleness check, and deliberately weak: it cannot tell prose about the threshold
from prose containing those digits, but it fails when the constant moves, which
is the drift that happens.
6. MORE ARCHAEOLOGY OUT. The floor's "It was 27 against a six-row drawer … the floor
stayed", the loop's "Bounded by numTierRows this loop dropped the last tier",
anthropic.go's paragraph naming which bug the signature change fixed, and two
comments in the reasoning test narrating their own previous versions. A reader of
main needs the invariant, not the path to it — 72% prose to 70%, and the
remainder is load-bearing.
4. CachedTokens stays a plain int, and no issue is filed — the maintainer's call.
The comment is rewritten to stand alone: it now states the exposure concretely
(`prompt_tokens_details: {}` records a cache read of nothing), names the test that
pins the reported-zero half, says the fix is the same three lines, and says
plainly that it is knowingly left rather than overlooked.

…as for 1. A PIN THAT PINNED NOTHING. The round-11 check was strings.Contains(readme, "85"), and "$5.85" in the ASCII sample four lines above the prose supplies those digits — so the sentence could say any number and the test passed. At a drifted 86 both "186" and "8693" elsewhere in the file would have covered for it too. Worse than useless: its comment conceded the check was weak and then claimed "it fails when the constant moves", which was the false half. It closed the finding without closing the gap. Matched in context and compared now — `Below (\d+) columns` against strconv.Itoa(spendDrawerTwoColumnMin) — with a fatal if the sentence it pins has gone, so a reworded README fails loudly instead of silently unpinning. Mutations: prose at 72 → "README documents a 72-column threshold; spendDrawerTwoColumnMin is 85". Prose at 86 → same. Both were green before. 2. THE TRIM TOOK AN INVARIANT OUT WITH THE ARCHAEOLOGY. Round 11 deleted the paragraph whose first sentence was the answer to the first question a reader of `bound := spendDrawerLinesFor(width) - 2` has — what the left column's height is made of — and left the block opening on a bare `//`. The "input simply vanished" history was the part that belonged in a commit message; "tierPanelLines, not numTierRows: the four rate tiers plus the reasoning row" was not. Restored, and the dangling marker is gone. Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>
