Summary

Four local-usage readers could report "parsed nothing" as "used nothing", or return a token count that was not exact. Each now refuses or reports the problem instead.

What changed

Four readers could report "parsed nothing" as "used nothing", or return a
count that is not exact. Each now refuses or reports instead.

  • cursorReader: decodeMessage's varint() stopped only at shift > 53, so the
    eighth byte (shift 49) could carry the sum past Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER and
    the reader returned a rounded token count; a rounded sum can even equal a
    rounded stated total and pass the cross-check. Reject any non-safe integer.
  • cursorReader: a meta row that is not hex, not JSON, or has no
    latestRootBlobId ended in a bare continue after the store was counted in
    filesScanned. It now pushes a scan error (one parse helper replaces the
    three exits). A store with no meta row yet stays silent: that is a new
    session, not a format change.
  • grokReader: completedTurn accepted any non-null usage, so {}, [] or
    renamed counters became one request of zero tokens. usage must now be a
    non-array object with a numeric inputTokens, outputTokens or modelCalls;
    otherwise the turn is skipped and one error per stream reports how many.
  • hermesReader: a session_model_usage table missing a required column set
    hasUsage to false and silently fell back to the sessions aggregate, which
    omits every non-primary task. It now fails closed with a scan error, the
    way a sessions table missing columns already did.
  • test suite: withHome() cleared only HOME/USERPROFILE, but GROK_HOME and
    HERMES_HOME are read ahead of ~/.grok and ~/.hermes, so Grok and Hermes
    fixture scans read a real store when either was exported. Both are cleared
    for the call and restored after.

Tests (test/continuous-test-suite-local-usage.ts, built dist): four new or
strengthened cases failed against unchanged source (meta-row report, varint
overflow, Grok usage shape, Hermes partial table) and pass now. With
GROK_HOME and HERMES_HOME pointing at an external store, 8 Grok/Hermes cases
failed without the withHome change and all pass with it.

Findings addressed, with the PR each came from:

Not changed:

  • PF-T3840696361 (fix(localUsage): treat a non-positive scan window as empty, not unbounded #1496) asked for sinceDays: Number.MAX_VALUE to return an
    empty window. The finite-cutoff part is already fixed (scanWindow.ts
    resolveScanCutoffMs returns undefined on overflow, openCodeReader uses
    ?? 0). An empty window is the opposite of the contract set by 396553c: a
    window longer than any history means all history, pinned by the MAX_VALUE
    case in this suite, and the reverse produced a non-monotonic cliff.

Fixes from the review of this PR, found after it was opened:

  • cursorReader: a meta row holding NULL or a BLOB took the silent no-meta-row exit,
    because the lookup keeps only string values. Only an empty meta table is
    silent now; a row with no text value is reported like any unreadable one.
  • grokReader: isTurnUsage accepted Infinity (1e999 is valid JSON), which
    count() reads as 0, so a malformed turn was billed as one request of zero
    tokens. Every present ledger counter must now be finite.
  • grokReader: a later record for a prompt id whose usage cannot be read left
    the earlier turn in the totals. It is dropped now (last write wins).
    Three cases fail without these changes (52 of 55 pass) and all 55 pass with them.

Review before opening

After the commit, an independent read-only reviewer checked all 6 findings against the diff, and a second reviewer tried to refute everything it flagged. Result: 5 fixed, 1 already correct at the base.

After the PR was opened, CodeRabbit raised three more findings. I checked each against the code: all three were real, and two were gaps in this PR's own first fix (a Cursor meta row holding NULL or a BLOB was skipped silently; a Grok usage counter of 1e999 was accepted). They are fixed in the amended commit and listed at the end of the commit message above.

Not done

  • PF-T3840696361: no change. The reviewers confirmed the base already avoids -Infinity and deliberately reads all history for MAX_VALUE, so the thread's remaining gap does not exist in the code.

Verification

  • pnpm run test:local-usage: 55 passed, exit 0, with an empty HOME and no .env.
  • Red without the fix: with only cursorReader.ts and grokReader.ts reversed and the project rebuilt, 52 pass and exactly the three new or extended cases fail (the Cursor meta-row case, the Grok non-finite counter, the Grok replaced turn); with the fix restored all 55 pass.
  • The suites above ran on the branch before its last rebase onto release (clean, no conflicts). The pre-push hook (check:deps, build, provider-structure, model-manifests) and CI are the first runs on the rebased code.
  • Not run: the new Cursor, Grok and Hermes cases against real local stores; they use fixtures.
  • Yama PR Review fails on every PR at the moment (its LiteLLM key is invalid). It is not a required check and is unrelated to this change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Cursor, Grok, and Hermes local usage readers now report malformed or changed data formats. The Cursor reader also rejects token values outside JavaScript’s safe-integer range. Tests cover the reader changes and isolate fixture scans from store-specific environment overrides.

Changes

Local usage reader validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cursor metadata and token validation
src/lib/localUsage/cursorReader.ts, test/continuous-test-suite-local-usage.ts
Cursor varint decoding rejects values outside the safe-integer range. Present metadata must contain a string latestRootBlobId; invalid metadata adds a scan error. Tests cover invalid metadata, missing metadata, and out-of-range values.
Grok usage-shape validation
src/lib/localUsage/grokReader.ts, test/continuous-test-suite-local-usage.ts
Grok usage counts only when the usage object has a recognized numeric counter. Invalid records are skipped, and one error is added per stream. Tests cover invalid usage shapes. Fixture scans clear and restore GROK_HOME and HERMES_HOME.
Hermes usage-table schema validation
src/lib/localUsage/hermesReader.ts, test/continuous-test-suite-local-usage.ts
An existing session_model_usage table missing required columns now produces an error and stops processing instead of falling back to session aggregates. A test covers a table missing api_call_count.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d0389

Some unreadable Cursor usage can go unreported, while Grok totals can include superseded or malformed turns. Correct these cases before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to d0389

The reviewed changes add no permissions or external access and make several unreadable-data cases visible. Remaining risk concerns reporting consistency and compatibility with producer formats, rather than newly exposed privileged operations.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Control over selected local Grok stream files can influence reported usage and diagnostics. The traced consumers remain reporting-only, with Grok cost marked unavailable and requests unpriced; the PR does not add an authorization, billing-mutation, or privileged-action sink.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The controls operate at the existing third-party local-data boundary: safe-integer decoding, usage-shape recognition, and required-column validation. Grok’s new guard checks numeric type, not numeric validity; the existing normalization still converts invalid counter values to zero. That limitation is not a newly introduced authority bypass.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The fixture helper clears Grok and Hermes store overrides and restores their previous values when its callback settles. Cleanup is scoped to test-process state; the unchanged harness timeout races do not cancel callbacks, so finally-based restoration is not guaranteed before subsequent cases after a timeout.

covering both present NULL and BLOB values.

Review comments at @src/lib/localUsage/grokReader.ts:
- Around line 307-309: Update the unrecognized-usage branch in foldStream so a
turn_completed record with invalid usage removes any previously stored turn for
the same prompt ID; keep valid records stored as before so a later valid
replacement can contribute to totals.
- Around line 222-237: Update isTurnUsage to reject non-finite counter values so
malformed usage records are not counted as requests; validate counters as
finite, nonnegative values while preserving the existing requirement that at
least one recognized counter is present.
