reconstruct_invocations() only sees already-attributed turns and splits on a
wall-clock idle gap (10 min default); it has no signal for unrelated
activity between two genuinely separate same-skill calls, so back-to-back
invocations closer together than the gap collapse into one reported
invocation. This inflates the headline per-invocation figures quoted in
filed issue bodies without affecting group totals (weighted_tokens,
offload_value, share_of_audited_spend).
Sidechain-leakage was investigated as the suspected root cause and ruled
out: turn attribution (the `mine` check) is correct, nothing session-wide
enters `turns`. The real, narrower defect is invocation-count inflation
from idle-gap merging.
Adds `totals.invocation_caveat` to offload-scan's JSON output, threads it
through audit-snapshot's snapshot totals, and renders it as a note in the
issue-body template so downstream issue bodies don't overstate confidence
in the per-invocation figure.
Fixeskotkan/claude-plugin-inference-arbitrage#12
Streams ~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl once, filters to turns attributed to the
target plugin (attributionPlugin / attributionSkill / attributionAgent),
de-duplicates by (message.id, requestId) taking max on every usage field, and
computes the spec.md §5.2 dynamic signals: MTR, offload_waste, recurring
tool-signature n-grams, read amplification, retry density, judgment density,
fan-out multiplier, and the composite offload_value — plus the FR-3.4
attribution-coverage headline.
Token and cost arithmetic is taken from token-budget's cc-tokens, never
reimplemented. It is imported as a module rather than shelled out with --json,
because cc-tokens' subcommands aggregate by day/session/project/model and none
can answer "weighted tokens for this set of turns" — the attribution fields are
not on its CLI surface. Its Rec.cost / Rec.weighted still compute every number
here, so the pricing table and cache multipliers keep exactly one home.
Two deviations from design/plan.md §4.1, both because the transcripts say
otherwise: agents attribute via attributionAgent on the subagent sidechain
files, not agentName (which is a separate `type: "agent-name"` line mapping a
session to a display label); and attributionSkill is sometimes bare rather than
plugin-qualified, so it is normalized.
Tool arguments are masked to <path>/<n>/<sha>/<url>/<str> before entering any
emitted structure, and Bash commands are reduced to bare executable words —
FR-3.5, asserted in the suite. Fixtures are synthetic by construction; no real
transcript content is in this repo.
