Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Cost Tracking

Cost tracking is now per session, can be snapshotted, and flags costs priced without a rate.

What

The cost and usage tracker gained an owning session id, snapshot and restore of totals, per-model usage and the logical start time, and a flag marking that some model cost was priced without a known rate. It also registers a transcript recorder, so usage can be written into the transcript.

Evidence

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
