Notes

2026-10-06 17:21 UTC · Every rebuild (task-log finish/report, token-ledger --write) now merges the transcripts on disk with the previous logs/token-ledger.json and logs/tasks.json. A session whose transcript is gone stays (archived), the larger value wins per session, and totals, by-day, by-model, cost and hours never shrink and always add up (ledgerProblems). Per-task tokens keep the larger earlier value for the same or a wider window (tokensArchived). --fresh drops history; task-log restore <git-ref> recovers it. Evidence: logs/evidence/LEDGER-20261007-01/restore-summary.json

2026-10-06 17:21 UTC · Restored from 3465c40: ledger 380 -> 4,393 messages and 137,043,311 -> 2,022,023,205 tokens (committed was 4,179 / 1,974,468,742; 16 sessions, 11 archived); 204 task token fields restored, none below its committed value. Session 25ebee33 (219 messages, 83.1M tokens) is counted once: flagged countedIn efc55efd because the committed ledger held it under that archived session (efc55efd exceeds it by 12 messages at about 551k per message, and 25ebee33 ended at a 543k context). This is an inference; delete the flag in logs/token-ledger.json if wrong.

2026-10-06 17:21 UTC · Sub-agent transcripts exist: <session>/subagents/agent-<id>.jsonl plus agent-<id>.meta.json (toolUseId links to the spawn call). They carry the parent session id, so they were already inside the parent's totals; the ledger now also lists them per session (subagent). A task is attributed to the transcripts whose task-log/verify Bash calls name it, plus helpers they spawned; heredocs and node -e / python -c bodies are not claims. This task's own sub-agent transcript is that case.
