fix(usage): price Claude fallbacks under the models that ran them - #34287
Claude Code can store a completed server-side fallback’s tokens under the declined model, combining cache writes across attempts and omitting the declined attempt’s output. An earlier streamed copy in a resumed or forked transcript can also restore that provisional usage and inflate session counts.
Change
Price the serving fallback from usage.iterations, with its own model and tokens; keep earlier attempts that produced output as separate records. Missing, empty or synthetic serving models retain the original top-level model and totals. Turns without fallback and existing advisor accounting keep their behavior. This follows Anthropic’s per-attempt billing.
The completed fallback identifies the provisional record it replaces. Aggregation removes that record in either file order, before model filtering. Both bucket counts and the source session totals displayed by clients are derived from surviving contributions; another surviving record from the old session still counts. Replacement links survive the scan cache. Cache v14 reparses pre-v14 Claude files from the beginning, including files that only grew by appending. Deleted transcripts retain their saved history; a surviving authoritative fallback replaces matching provisional history, but deleted-only history cannot be repaired.
Scope and approval
Focused backend follow-up to #9019, under the bug-fix exception Julius invited. No new client feature or wire contract. Snapshot accounting landed in #20276; #16922 owns one-hour cache-write pricing.
Verification
Linux on Boat, using synthetic transcript fixtures:
Failing-first parser, cache migration, streamed-copy, invalid-model and bucket-session regressions are preserved from earlier revisions. The source-session regression fails on d6ef065: two sessions instead of one with the provisional file first (1 failed, 3 passed).
The four source-session cases now pass, including reverse order, retained independent usage from the old session, transcript deletion and service restart. Token totals remain correct.
All 185 tests in the nine focused usage/parser suites pass. CI=true vp run check:changed against integrated main 4bf5d53 passes: 93 tests in five files, typechecks for 27 packages, format, lint, knip twice and graphql. Local and Boat candidate trees, changed-file sets and hashes match. File-read capabilities were dropped for these checks.
Earlier synthetic runtime with LiteLLM rates reports $0.168024 on base, $0.223036 before copy reconciliation, and $0.190042 after it ($0.085030 serving + $0.105012 declined). The source-session repair changes counts only; it leaves pricing unchanged. Service regression proof uses temporary transcript files, with no paid provider turns.
Independent review: Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), high effort in Claude Code through T3 Code, completed a read-only review of all nine files in tree 5bcdbde3631a687f2d39e74a31be17c046135b38 with no actionable findings. The reviewer inspected the supplied check logs; no tests were rerun in review.
Before-output declines remain skipped as on main; this does not claim every such decline is unbilled. Combined advisor/fallback turns and chains with more than two attempts lack runtime proof. Cache migration has decoder regression coverage and service-path source review, rather than an end-to-end v12 Claude upgrade fixture. CI and bot results for 77a600e are pending.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This corrects Claude fallback cost estimates by attributing usage to the models that actually served each attempt and replacing provisional totals. Its effects are confined to usage reporting and scan-cache refreshes, without changing actual charges or model execution.

Walkthrough
Claude usage parsing now records usage from the serving fallback iteration and eligible earlier attempts. Aggregation removes contributions superseded by completed fallback records and provides source session counts. The scan cache advances to v14, stores supersession keys, and reparses older Claude entries.

Summary
Fallback and prior iteration usage apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/claudeUsage.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/claudeUsage.test.ts, packages/provider-core/src/server/usage.ts
The last fallback iteration with a valid model supplies the executor model and token totals. Eligible earlier iterations receive separate records. The usage record contract adds an optional supersession key.
Supersession and session counts apps/server/src/usage/usageAggregation.ts, apps/server/src/usage/usageAggregation.test.ts, apps/server/src/usage/UsageService.ts, apps/server/src/usage/UsageService.test.ts
Aggregation removes an existing contribution when a fallback supersedes its dedupe key and drops later records with that key. It returns distinct session counts by provider and source path, which UsageService uses for source totals. Tests cover file order, duplicates, deleted-file records, model filters, and source totals.
Cache persistence and refresh apps/server/src/usage/usageScanCache.ts, apps/server/src/usage/usageScanCache.test.ts, apps/server/src/usage/UsageService.test.ts
The cache advances to v14 and persists supersession keys. Claude entries from before v14 are marked for reparsing. Tests cover legacy cache versions and the new filename.
Claude fallback usage is now priced under the models that ran it, and the source session counts shown on the Usage page no longer depend on transcript file order. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains in the supplied changes.

Explanation
The title "fix(usage): price Claude fallbacks under the models that ran them" matches the main change. The changeset reads per-attempt usage from usage.iterations, prices the serving fallback_message under its own model, and records earlier output-producing attempts separately. It also adds supersession links and a scan-cache bump. The title is a conventional commit, short, and specific.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description covers every section of the template: Problem, Change, Scope, Verification, and an agent attribution line. The Problem section states the Claude fallback misbilling and the duplicate-session issue. The Change section explains the per-attempt pricing, the dedupe and supersession links, and the v14 cache reparse. The Scope section links the parent issue #9019, cites the bug-fix exception, and says no client feature or wire contract changed. The Verification section gives focused test counts, the check:changed run, synthetic runtime figures, an independent review, and the pending CI state. It also lists what was not verified: combined advisor/fallback turns, chains longer than two attempts, and an end-to-end v12 upgrade fixture. The template's own 'Tests pass alone is insufficient' rule is met. The description has a minor inconsistency: it cites commit f6433db in the PR objectives but 4bf5d53 in the description, and the test counts differ (89 vs 93 tests). The PR description itself reports 93 tests in five files, so the counts match the final head. The objectives text is out of date and should not be used as the verification record.

Head f8b6a36b2d, Linux VM, vp run dev, web client driven with Playwright and Chrome. Data came from real Claude claude-haiku-5-5 turns sent through the composer in a project pointing at a cloned git repo (octocat/Hello-World). The Usage page scans the same ~/.claude/projects transcripts on both runs.
Main baseline. I ran two Haiku turns on github/main and opened Usage. Main wrote usage-scan-cache-v12.json, and the Usage page showed claude-haiku-5-5 at 210K tokens and $0.01.
Cache migration (v12 to v14). I copied main's state, including the v12 cache, into the PR checkout and started the PR server. Opening Usage replaced it with usage-scan-cache-v14.json and removed the v12 file. The Claude transcripts were fully reparsed: the reparsed Haiku records are identical to the v12 ones (same 7 message keys, token counts and timestamps), and Haiku still shows 210K tokens and $0.01. The claude-opus-5-5 row is a live session that kept growing between captures, so only the Haiku row is comparable.
New turns after migration. I sent a follow-up Haiku turn on the PR server ("Run git log --oneline -3…"). It completed in about 10s with the correct answer. Usage then showed Haiku at 272K tokens. An independent sum over the raw transcripts gives 271,976 processed tokens across 9 Haiku messages.
Non-fallback turns are unchanged. Claude Code writes "iterations":[] on normal turns. The executor model and totals match main.
CI is green on this head. CodeRabbit is still pending.
Not verified
The fallback accounting itself. I could not test pricing the fallback_message iteration under its serving model, splitting out a declined message attempt that produced output, or replacing provisional copies across files. These paths need a transcript from a real Anthropic server-side refusal fallback. Normal Haiku turns never produce one, and none of my real turns contained a fallback_message iteration. I did not try to provoke a model refusal. This means the original bug was not reproduced on main either. These paths are covered only by the PR's unit tests.
A v12 cache that already holds a real provisional fallback copy. My migration run had only normal turns.

Retract superseded sessions from source counts.
UsageService.ts adds a session ID when add() returns true. This deletion does not remove that ID. If a provisional copy and its fallback have different session IDs, the source reports two sessions when the provisional copy arrives first, but one in the reverse order. The bucket now reports one in both orders.
Calculate source session counts from surviving contributions as well.

Update the supersession handling in the aggregation flow around `#seen.delete` so source session counts reflect only surviving contributions. When a contribution supersedes another, retract the superseded session ID from the source’s count, ensuring the result is the same regardless of arrival order and handling differing session IDs.

Fixed the source-session total finding from this review in 77a600e. Source totals now come from surviving aggregated contributions, so a superseded provisional copy cannot retain its session count. Independent usage in that session still counts.
The service regression fails on the previous head with two sessions instead of one, and now passes in both file orders, after deletion and after restart. All 185 focused usage/parser tests and check:changed pass (93 tests, 27 package typechecks). Claude Opus 5.5 independently reviewed the complete nine-file candidate with no actionable findings. CI and bots for the new head are pending.
