feat: show exact Codex subagent usage by thread - #511
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughCodex rollout parsing now preserves subagent lineage. Session analytics builds validated parent-child graphs and exact usage totals. The dashboard groups, filters, and labels subagent threads with new localized strings. ChangesCodex subagent thread flow
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The current head still contains lint failures, can expose local lineage metadata in cloud/CSV summaries, and can lose Codex thread titles for custom CODEX_HOME locations; these create bounded production and privacy risks, so merge should wait for fixes. The session data contract also needs to be updated for the new fields. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
CODEX_HOME discovery breaks Codex thread titles.
codexTitleIndexPathFor (line 1052-1057) locates session_index.jsonl by searching the resolved path for a literal .codex segment. If CODEX_HOME points to a directory with a different basename, for example /opt/codex-home, lastIndexOf(".codex") returns -1. loadCodexTitleIndex then returns an empty map, so every Codex row loses its title and falls back to the project name. analyticsEntryStatKey also degrades to title-index:missing for those rows.
Derive the index path from the discovered provider root instead of the .codex literal.
🐛 Proposed direction
Resolve the index relative to the sessions / archived_sessions parent directory, which holds for both the default root and a custom CODEX_HOME:
function codexTitleIndexPathFor(filePath) {
const parts = path.resolve(filePath).split(path.sep);
- const idx = parts.lastIndexOf(".codex");
- if (idx === -1) return null;
- return [...parts.slice(0, idx + 1), "session_index.jsonl"].join(path.sep);
+ const idx = Math.max(
+ parts.lastIndexOf("sessions"),
+ parts.lastIndexOf("archived_sessions"),
+ );
+ if (idx <= 0) return null;
+ return [...parts.slice(0, idx), "session_index.jsonl"].join(path.sep);

Strip the remaining lineage flags from cloud/CSV rows.
annotateCodexThreadUsage sets parent_link_conflict and orphaned_subagent on rows, and scanCodexSession sets parent_link_conflict at line 519. Neither field appears in this destructuring, so both reach the cloud/CSV payload. Both describe local parent/child link state, so they belong to the same local-only lineage set as parent_session_hash and agent_role.

Thanks for the substantial work here. I re-reviewed exact head 8f3c605b against the current main after today's merges. The backend lineage tests pass 30/30 and the integration is conflict-free, but three blockers remain before merge:
-
Custom
CODEX_HOMEloses Codex thread titles.src/lib/session-analytics.js:1052-1056derivessession_index.jsonlonly when the rollout path contains a literal.codexsegment. The newproviderRoots()support accepts an arbitrary custom directory, so sessions are discovered there but their title index is never found. Derive the index from the discovered Codex root (includingsessions//archived_sessions/) and add a regression using a custom directory name. -
The exported client contract is stale.
dashboard/src/lib/sessions-api.ts:10-30does not declare the new thread/lineage and combined-usage fields consumed bySessionsPage.jsx(thread_kind, parent/root hashes, agent metadata, own/subagent/combined totals and counts). Please updateSessionRowso TypeScript consumers match the server payload. -
The new UI behavior has no regression coverage. This PR adds roughly 210 lines of grouping, nested rendering, model filtering, combined totals, and standalone-child behavior to
SessionsPage.jsx, but only backend tests were added. Please add focused page/component tests covering root + child + grandchild folding, model filtering, and a child whose root is filtered out.
The current red test + validate + build check is from the existing fs-lock timing tests rather than this feature, so rerun CI after the code changes instead of treating that failure as a feature blocker.
Performance follow-up: session analytics cache TTL is too short for large Codex archivesWhile validating this PR against a production-sized local corpus, I found that ordinary Sessions page loads can take 50-60+ seconds due to aggressive cache invalidation in Measured environment
Timings
Root cause
Proposed changeRaise default TTL from 5 minutes to 30 minutes, and allow environment override: const SESSION_ANALYTICS_CACHE_TTL_MS = Number(
process.env.TOKENTRACKER_SESSION_CACHE_TTL_MS || (30 * 60_000),
);
async function buildSessionAnalyticsInternal({ home = os.homedir(), force = false, cacheTtlMs = SESSION_ANALYTICS_CACHE_TTL_MS } = {}) {This does not change parsing logic, token attribution, privacy behavior, or schema. It only extends how long valid metadata is trusted before re-checking file signatures. The existing signature check still catches changed files immediately within the window. I have validated this locally: after applying the same change to the installed copy, cached responses remain fast, forced refreshes still work correctly via Happy to submit this as a separate small PR if you prefer. |
Why
Codex v2 subagents are stored as separate rollout files. The Sessions page currently presents them as unrelated sessions and estimates subagent usage from spawn calls, so a Dynamic Workflow cannot answer how many tokens each child agent and model actually consumed.
What changed
session_metarow (forked rollouts may replay parent metadata later)total_tokensΣusage valueCODEX_HOMEwhen resolving the process homeSafety and privacy
The implementation does not read or retain prompts, responses, command output, or diff content. Lineage IDs, agent names/roles, titles, and project paths remain local-only and are stripped from cloud/CSV summaries. Conflicting, cyclic, duplicate, or orphan links are not aggregated.
