Eight Agent Sessions fixes in the session checks, vitals and turn labels (packages/agent-sessions). Read path only: no warehouse, schema or migration change, so the fixes apply to existing sessions as soon as this deploys. One commit per bug, each with its regression test; follow-up commits from review and verification are listed under their bug.

Prompt-cache check warns on prompts too short to cache (#25)

  • Symptom: the Prompt cache check warned "Cache hit rate 0% over N calls; N missed the cache" on sessions whose prompts could never be cached:
    • DSPy peaked at 870 prompt tokens against OpenAI's 1024 minimum.
    • Google ADK, LangChain, Haystack and CrewAI test sessions hit the same warning with short prompts.
    • Claude Agent SDK on Haiku 4.5 sent 1.2K–2.3K tokens against that model's 4,096-token minimum ("0% over 7 calls").
    • flue sent Claude Haiku 4.5 through OpenRouter with prompts of 1,043–1,392 tokens.
  • Cause: promptCacheCheck (session-checks.ts) judged every call after the first, whatever its size.
  • Fix: each call is judged on its own:
    • A call under 1024 prompt tokens is left out. 1024 is the smallest minimum OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini cache.
    • A Claude call (provider anthropic, or a claude model through any gateway) that neither wrote nor read the cache must also reach 4,096 prompt tokens to be judged. That is the largest Claude minimum (Haiku 4.5, Opus 4.5), which covers model-specific minimums without a per-model table.
      • Anthropic writes as soon as a prompt qualifies, so below that size the call may simply have been too short.
      • Above it, reading nothing is a real miss, even when the emitter does not report writes.
    • A zero write is only read this way for Claude. OpenAI-model emitters (CrewAI, Haystack, LiteLLM, Mastra, MAF, Strands, Vercel AI SDK) stamp a zero write bucket on every call, so a long OpenAI prompt with no reads is a real miss and still warns.
    • Of the calls left, the first is left out: it is the one that writes the cache.
  • Test: session-checks.test.ts "skips the prompt cache when no prompt could have been cached". It covers:
    • short prompts;
    • Claude with the write stamped 0, via provider anthropic and via openrouter;
    • Claude with the write key absent;
    • a mixed Claude/OpenAI session;
    • a cold Claude session with 10K prompts and no write bucket, which still warns;
    • an OpenAI miss with and without a zero write bucket;
    • a short opening call.
  • Commits:
    • 919f6cf
    • 202f7eb: skip the first cacheable call, not the first call.
    • 7e5ca58: never-written rule on Anthropic only; redundant early return dropped.
    • 258b735: the rule is per call and recognises Claude by model.
    • 840e50e: the rule applies only under the 4,096-token Claude minimum.

Provider-errors headline counts chat spans, not model calls (#38)

  • Symptom: "All 48 model calls were answered first time" on an OpenRouter Broadcast session of 16 calls ("All 30" for 10). "All 16 model calls" on a Google ADK session with llmCalls 8.
  • Cause: buildSessionChecks passed the count of every inference-classified span to providerCheck. That included Broadcast's provider attempt N and generation children and ADK's call_llm wrapper.
  • Fix: the headline uses summary.work.llmCalls, the netted count the session header already shows.
  • Test: session-checks.test.ts "counts model calls in the provider headline once per call, not per chat span". It uses the Broadcast shape from the capture: LLM Generation + provider attempt 1 + generation.
  • Commit: e8d125d

Checks don't net duplicate reporter pairs (#40)

  • Symptom: Google ADK sessions read "Prompt cache ... over 15 calls" (a1) and "over 19 calls" (b) for sessions of 8 and 10 model calls. The provider-headline half of this bug is fixed by [codex] Add native Rust telemetry ingest pipeline #38 above.
  • Cause: promptCacheCheck took every inference-classified span. ADK stamps the same usage on call_llm (no operation, a model) and on the generate_content beneath it.
  • Fix: session-summary.ts exports sessionLlmCalls(spans), the netted call list behind work.llmCalls, and the cache check reads it. Context-window and reply-length still read every inference span: duplicates change neither the peak nor whether a finish reason was recorded.
  • Follow-up: when the span counted for a call carries no cache fields (an app span beside its gateway mirror with the same response id), the check reads the observation of that response that did report cache usage.
  • Tests: session-checks.test.ts:
    • "judges the prompt cache once per model call when a wrapper repeats the usage": 77% over 4 calls, where the unfixed code read 68% over 9.
    • "judges the prompt cache off a gateway mirror when the counted span has none".
  • Commits: b845e08, plus 3b9a6e5 (gateway mirror).

agentTimeMs sums nested inference spans (#39)

  • Symptom: 204.8 s of agent time in a 125.5 s OpenRouter Broadcast session with no parallel work.
  • Cause: computeAgentTime (session-summary.ts) charged every inference span its full duration.
    • Broadcast nests provider attempt N (2,019 ms) and generation (4,402 ms) under each LLM Generation (4,842 ms), all op chat.
    • ADK's call_llm over generate_content doubles the same way.
  • Fix:
    • An inference span inside another, with no agent or tool span between them, is charged nothing: its time is already inside the outer span's.
    • A model call a tool or sub-agent makes inside another call is still charged.
    • A TTFT that only a nested level reported still splits the call, so no existing TTFT segment is lost.
  • Tests: session-summary.test.ts:
    • "charges a model call observed at several levels once, at the outermost": 4,842 ms, not 11,263.
    • "still charges a model call a tool made inside another call".
  • Commits: 0815f47, plus d9c9fa7 (comment) and 429379c (stop at agent/tool spans).

Turn label taken from a non-inference span (#26)

  • Symptom: on a checkpointed LangGraph thread (OpenInference LangChain dual-write), every turn was labeled with turn 1's prompt. All a1 turns 1–6 read "Hi! Briefly introduce yourself.".
  • Cause: turnLabel (session-turns.ts) fell back to the first span in start order that carried any user message. The LangGraph model node CHAIN span starts before its ChatOpenAI call, and its gen_ai.input.messages holds only the thread's first message.
  • Fix: after the anchor, model calls (isLlmCall) are asked first, as the transcript's userRows already does. Other spans stay the last resort.
  • Test: session-turns.test.ts "labels from a model call before a framework span that started earlier".
  • Commit: 008a9d5

Turn label is smolagents' "New task:" (#33)

  • Symptom: every smolagents turn label and the session title read "New task:".
  • Cause: proseLine labels with the first non-empty line, and smolagents sends every task as New task:\n<task>.
  • Fix:
    • A first line that is exactly New task: (case-insensitive) is a framework heading, so the next line labels the turn.
    • The match is literal on purpose: a broader "short line ending in a colon" rule turned a user's Fix this: over pasted code into a label made of the code's first line.
    • The label reader now stops after two non-empty lines instead of normalising the whole prompt.
  • Test: session-turns.test.ts "reads past smolagents' lead-in".
  • Commits: 2b3faa0, plus 94d0a27 (read at most two lines) and 9f76b7c (literal match).

An AI-less trace becomes an empty turn 1 and takes the title (#41)

  • Symptom: a Microsoft Agent Framework workflow session showed its one-span workflow.build trace as Turn 1 (no label, no agent, 1 span) and the real run as Turn 2. get_agent_session returned no title.
  • Cause: workflow.build carries the session id in a trace of its own and is read as an agent root by its name, so buildSessionTurns opened a turn on it. The session title is turn 1's label.
  • Fix:
    • This applies only on the agent-root and per-trace rules, where the turn boundary is a heuristic.
    • An anchor whose spans hold no model or tool call, no user message and nothing failed joins the next turn, the same way spans before the first anchor join turn 1.
    • Turns keyed by conversation id are explicit and are kept (eve, Maple investigation lanes).
    • A session with no work in any turn keeps all its anchors.
    • A workless anchor followed by a pause of more than 5 s stays its own turn, so the pause is never read as a mid-turn stall.
  • Tests: session-turns.test.ts:
    • "folds an anchor that opened no work into the turn after it", built from the captured MAF wf spans. It also asserts the summary title.
    • "keeps a workless anchor followed by a pause as its own turn".
  • Commits: ef98e2c, plus efd5c06 (setup-gap rule; linear merge).

Finish reasons in other spellings never match

  • Symptom: a Vercel AI SDK reply refused with ai.response.finishReason="content-filter" left the Refusals check passed.
  • Cause: the truncation matcher (session-findings.ts TRUNCATION_FINISH_REASONS) and the refusal matcher (session-summary.ts REFUSAL_FINISH_REASONS) only lowercased the reason before comparing it with max_tokens / content_filter.
  • Fix: a shared finishReasonsIn helper matches on the reason lowercased with separators removed, so content-filter, content_filter, maxTokens and MAX_TOKENS each read as one reason.
  • Tests: session-checks.test.ts:
    • "reads a filtered reply whatever the finish reason's spelling";
    • "reads a cut-off reply whatever the finish reason's spelling".
  • Commits: 19f316b, 80bff22.

Verification

  • Scoped vitest per file: session-checks, session-summary, session-turns, session-findings, session-transcript. Each new test was confirmed to fail with its fix reverted.
  • packages/agent-sessions typecheck.

Merge order

  • fix(agent-sessions): span-kind classification #1126 (span-kind classification) also changes session-turns.ts.
  • If it lands first, test spans here that carry no vendorId and no operation (e.g. makeSpan with only spanName) will classify as other instead of by name.
  • Whichever PR merges second updates those fixtures when it merges main.

…le prompts

Symptom: the Prompt cache check warned "Cache hit rate 0% over N calls; N
missed the cache" on sessions whose prompts were all too short to cache.
Seen on DSPy (prompts peak 870 tokens, OpenAI minimum 1024), Google ADK,
LangChain, Haystack, CrewAI and Claude Agent SDK (Haiku 4.5 prompts of
1.2K-2.3K tokens against its 4,096-token minimum) test sessions.

Cause: promptCacheCheck judged every call after the first, whatever its
prompt size.

Fix: calls under 1024 prompt tokens (the smallest minimum OpenAI,
Anthropic and Gemini cache) are left out of the judgement, and a session
whose calls report a cache-write bucket but never wrote or read the cache
is skipped: nothing reached the model's minimum, or caching is off. The
"too few calls" message now counts the calls actually judged.
…adline

Symptom: the Provider errors check read "All 48 model calls were answered
first time" on an OpenRouter Broadcast session of 16 calls ("All 30" for
10), and "All 16 model calls" on a Google ADK session with llmCalls 8.

Cause: buildSessionChecks passed the count of every inference-classified
span (session-checks.ts providerCheck call), so OpenRouter's `provider
attempt N` and `generation` children and ADK's `call_llm` wrapper were
counted beside the call they belong to.

Fix: the headline uses summary.work.llmCalls, the netted count the
session header already shows.
Symptom: on Google ADK sessions the Prompt cache check read "0% over 15
calls" (a1) and "over 19 calls" (b) while the session had 8 and 10 model
calls: the checks did not net ADK's duplicate reporter pair.

Cause: promptCacheCheck took every inference-classified span, so ADK's
`call_llm` wrapper and the `generate_content` span beneath it, both
stamped with the same usage, were judged as two calls each.

Fix: session-summary exports sessionLlmCalls, the netted call list behind
work.llmCalls, and the cache check reads it. The provider headline half
of the same symptom is fixed in the previous commit.
Symptom: vitals read 204.8 s of agent time in a 125.5 s OpenRouter
Broadcast session with no parallel work.

Cause: computeAgentTime charged every inference span its full duration,
and Broadcast nests a `provider attempt N` and a `generation` span (both
op `chat`) under each `LLM Generation`, so one call was charged up to
three times. Google ADK's `call_llm` over `generate_content` doubles the
same way.

Fix: an inference span inside another inference span is the same call
observed twice; only the outermost is charged. A TTFT that only a nested
level reported still splits the call.
…rk spans

Symptom: every turn of a checkpointed LangGraph thread (OpenInference
LangChain dual-write) was labeled with turn 1's prompt, e.g. all a1 turns
1-6 read "Hi! Briefly introduce yourself.".

Cause: turnLabel (session-turns.ts) fell back to the first span in start
order with any user message. The LangGraph `model` node CHAIN span starts
before its ChatOpenAI call and carries only the thread's first message.

Fix: after the anchor, model calls are asked first, as the transcript's
userRows already does; other spans remain the last resort.
Symptom: every smolagents turn label and the session title read
"New task:".

Cause: proseLine (session-turns.ts) labels a turn with the first
non-empty line of the user message, and smolagents sends every task as
"New task:\n<task>".

Fix: a first line of at most three words ending in a colon is a lead-in;
the line after it labels the turn. A longer sentence ending in a colon,
or a lead-in with nothing after it, is kept as before.
Symptom: a Microsoft Agent Framework workflow session showed its
one-span `workflow.build` trace as Turn 1 (no label, no agent, 1 span),
the real run as Turn 2, and get_agent_session returned no title.

Cause: `workflow.build` carries the session's id in its own trace and is
read as an agent root by its name, so buildSessionTurns opened a turn on
it; the summary title is turn 1's label.

Fix: on the agent-root and per-trace rules, where the boundary is a
heuristic, an anchor whose spans hold no model or tool call, no user
message and nothing failed joins the next turn, as spans before the
first anchor join turn 1. Conversation-id turns are explicit and kept,
and a session with no work anywhere keeps its anchors.
A captured prompt can be tens of kilobytes; the label reads at most two
non-empty lines, so it stops collapsing whitespace after them.
…t call, in the prompt-cache check

Follow-up to the uncacheable-prompt fix: the size filter ran after
dropping the first call, so a short opening call (a title or router
call) was dropped instead of the first long call, which writes the cache
and then read as a miss.
…rn labels

Follow-up to the lead-in fix: any first line of three words ending in a
colon was skipped, so a user's "Fix this:" over pasted code labeled the
turn with the code's first line. The rule now matches the framework's
literal heading.

Maple review

Confidence 4/5 · likely safe to merge
quality 100/100 · no findings · tests covered · risk medium

Seven read-path fixes in packages/agent-sessions: the prompt-cache check ignores prompts below a provider's cacheable minimum, checks and agent time judge a model call once when a framework reports it at two levels, and turn labels read past smolagents' "New task:" lead-in. Each behavior has a regression test; safe to merge.

  • promptCacheCheck skips uncacheable prompts and counts calls via sessionLlmCalls
  • Provider headline uses summary.work.llmCalls instead of every inference span
  • computeAgentTime charges a nested inference span to its outermost call
  • buildSessionTurns folds an anchor that opened no work, and labels from model calls first
What was checked
  • sessionLlmCalls nets a wrapper and its generate_content to one span (session-summary.ts:571), matching the 77%-over-4-calls and 2-call headline tests
  • neverCached requires both cache buckets to be 0, so an OpenAI-style reporter that omits the write bucket still reaches the miss branch
  • add("tool", span.durationMs) equals the removed spanEnd - spanStart, since spanEndMs is spanStartMs + durationMs (session-turns.ts:56)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes deduplicate inference-time accounting across nested spans, expose counted model-call spans for prompt-cache checks, and update turn grouping and prompt-label extraction.

Changes

Model-call accounting and prompt-cache checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deduplicate inference time and expose counted calls
packages/agent-sessions/src/session-summary.ts, packages/agent-sessions/src/session-summary.test.ts
computeAgentTime counts nested inference spans once using the outermost inference span’s duration. It uses the outermost TTFT when available, otherwise the first nested TTFT, capped at that duration. The new sessionLlmCalls function returns spans selected by the existing call-counting logic.
Evaluate prompt caching on eligible calls
packages/agent-sessions/src/session-checks.ts, packages/agent-sessions/src/session-checks.test.ts
Provider-check counts use summary.work.llmCalls. Prompt-cache checks use session-level model calls, require prompts of at least 1,024 tokens, and apply cache-usage and minimum-call criteria. Tests cover nested provider spans, duplicated usage, and cache-rate outcomes.

Session-turn grouping and labels

Layer / File(s) Summary
Group turns and select turn prompts
packages/agent-sessions/src/session-turns.ts, packages/agent-sessions/src/session-turns.test.ts
When a non-conversation bucket contains inference or tool work, a failure, or a user message, unopened buckets merge into the following bucket. Turn labels search LLM-call spans before other spans. Tests cover workflow spans and turn-specific prompts.
Extract labels after New task:
packages/agent-sessions/src/session-turns.ts, packages/agent-sessions/src/session-turns.test.ts
Prompt extraction skips an initial non-empty line that matches New task: case-insensitively. The selected line remains limited to 80 characters.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9f76b

Some session turn summaries may be inaccurate, and unusually large sessions may take longer to construct. These issues warrant fixes or owner acceptance but do not appear to block merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9f76b

The reviewed changes affect how existing sessions are interpreted, not who can access them. No material security regression was established in the inspected path, though downstream coverage is incomplete.

No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — In the inspected production path, affected output is derived from the requesting tenant’s loaded session spans, not from a newly reachable store or privileged operation. Capped dependency coverage prevents treating that path as an exhaustive consumer inventory.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — No introduced cross-tenant access or privileged-action path was established for the inspected caller: changed accounting and labels operate after the tenant-scoped read. This does not establish safety for uninspected consumers.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The inspected caller supplies current tenant context to the loader; backend session and trace reads bind organization identity. The modified analysis functions neither perform those reads nor replace that control.

🔴 Agent-only turns merge into later turns

When an agent invocation has no model call, opened merges its turn into the next busy turn. Distinct invocations disappear, and pauses between turns become false mid-turn stalls.

Learn more

Agent-root boundaries represent distinct invocations even when an invocation has no model or tool spans. The new opened predicate treats such a turn as empty and folds it forward if any later turn has work. stallFindings then examines both invocations as one turn and marks their idle gap as a stall. The session also loses a turn in its work count and transcript.

Example: An invocation at 0–1 seconds has no child call; another invocation at 60–70 seconds has a model call. Both are agent roots, but the first is removed and the 59-second pause is reported as a stall inside the remaining turn.

Recommended fix: Distinguish setup-only roots such as workflow.build from genuine invocation roots before folding buckets. Preserve genuine agent invocations as boundaries even without captured calls, and keep between-turn gaps outside stallFindings.

Fixed in efd5c06: a workless anchor now folds only when the next turn starts within 5 s of it ending (setup such as MAF's workflow.build). One followed by a pause stays its own turn, so the pause is never read as a stall. Test: "keeps a workless anchor followed by a pause as its own turn".

🔴 Nested model calls lose inference time

When a model call runs beneath another inference span, outermostCall treats both as one call. Distinct nested calls lose their inference time even when separated by an agent or tool.

Learn more

Agent time previously summed every inference span. The new ancestor walk assumes every nested inference span describes its outermost inference ancestor, even when the spans represent separate requests. It also crosses agent and tool spans, where a child request can be independent of its enclosing request. The existing countedLlmCalls deliberately counts multiple children under one SDK wrapper as separate calls when the wrapper rolls them up.

Example: A three-second SDK generateText wrapper contains two one-second doGenerate requests with separate usage. The call counter reports two calls, but agent time reports only the wrapper's three seconds and never charges either request separately; with a ten-second wrapper around two concurrent ten-second requests, the reported time is ten instead of twenty seconds.

Recommended fix: Identify observation pairs using the same per-call evidence as usage netting instead of suppressing all inference descendants by ancestry. Retain separate request durations when an inference parent wraps multiple calls or a nested agent/tool starts its own inference.

Partly fixed in 429379c: the walk now stops at an agent or tool span, so a model call made by a tool or sub-agent inside another call is charged again. Nesting directly under an inference span still charges only the outer span, by design. Its duration already covers its children, and summing them double counts the call: the bug here was OpenRouter's LLM Generation + provider attempt + generation reading 204.8 s in a 125.5 s session. Usage netting can't pair these: Broadcast's nested spans carry no usage. Concurrent calls under a single inference span don't appear in any of the 53 captures.

🟡 Gateway cache usage disappears from checks

When app and gateway spans share a response ID, sessionLlmCalls can retain the app span without cache buckets. The cache check then skips recorded gateway hits and misses.

Learn more

The check now consumes one representative span per model call. countedLlmCalls resolves duplicate response IDs using a claimed-usage preference and keeps the first observation when both claim usage. The repository's app-and-gateway example gives the app and gateway the same response ID and token total. If the gateway records cache usage but the earlier app span only reports total input tokens, the app wins and the cache check no longer sees the gateway measurement.

Example: Four app calls each report 2,000 input tokens without cache fields; their gateway mirrors share response IDs and each report 1,500 cached tokens. The app observations win ties, leaving zero reporting calls and a skipped cache check instead of the measured hit rate.

Recommended fix: Select a cache-reporting observation for each response ID specifically for promptCacheCheck, or aggregate the cache fields across observations without counting a call twice. Keep the session's token representative unchanged if its current selection is needed elsewhere.

Fixed in 3b9a6e5: when the span counted for a call reported no cache fields, the check reads the same response id's observation that did. Test: "judges the prompt cache off a gateway mirror when the counted span has none".

… on Anthropic only

Follow-up to the uncacheable-prompt fix (#25). The never-written skip
read a zero cache-write bucket as "nothing was cacheable", but OpenAI-
model emitters (CrewAI, Haystack, LiteLLM, Mastra, Microsoft Agent
Framework, Strands, Vercel AI SDK) stamp a zero write bucket on every
call, so an OpenAI session with long prompts and a real 0% hit rate was
skipped instead of warned. The rule now applies only when every
reporting call is an Anthropic call. The separate "too few calls" early
return is dropped: the cacheable-call gate below it covers it.
…ot that it is one call

Follow-up to the agentTime fix (#39): an inference span inside another is
only the same model call under direct nesting; the rule holds because the
nested span's time is inside the outer span's. Comment only.
Symptom: Strands TS replies cut off at the output limit were never
flagged; the Reply length check passed.

Cause: Strands TS writes its finish reasons camelCase (`maxTokens`), and
the truncation and refusal matchers (session-findings.ts
TRUNCATION_FINISH_REASONS, session-summary.ts REFUSAL_FINISH_REASONS)
only lowercased before comparing against `max_tokens`/`content_filter`.

Fix: a shared finishReasonsIn helper matches on the reason lowercased
with separators removed, so `maxTokens`, `MAX_TOKENS` and `max_tokens`
are one reason.
…ht into the next turn

Follow-up to the empty-turn fix (#41), from review. A workless agent
invocation followed by a pause was folded into the next turn, which then
read the pause as a stall inside it. The fold now needs the next turn to
start within 5 s of the workless anchor ending (setup such as MAF's
`workflow.build`), and merging moves the accumulated bucket forward in
place instead of re-copying it for each workless anchor in a row.
…n agentTime

Follow-up to the agentTime fix (#39), from review. The walk to the
outermost inference span crossed agent and tool spans, so a model call a
tool or sub-agent made inside another call was charged nothing. The walk
now stops at an agent or tool: only inference spans nested directly (or
through non-work spans) share the outer span's time.
…that reported it

Follow-up to the per-call cache fix (#40), from review. When an app span
and its gateway's mirror share a response id, the netted call list can
keep the app span, which may carry no cache fields, and the cache check
then skipped a session the mirror measured. For such a call the check now
reads the same response's observation that reported cache usage.

Confidence 4/5 · likely safe to merge
One judgment call decides it: the prompt-cache skip trusts an Anthropic zero write bucket, so a long-prompt session with caching off is skipped rather than warned.
quality 100/100 · no findings · tests covered · risk medium

Seven read-path fixes to the agent-session heuristics: the prompt-cache check ignores calls too short to cache and judges one netted span per model call, the provider headline uses work.llmCalls, agent time charges a nested call once, finish reasons match across vendor spellings, and a workless turn anchor folds into the next turn. Reading matches the stated intent and each fix carries a regression test.

  • promptCacheCheck drops calls under 1024 prompt tokens and Anthropic's never-written ones
  • providerCheck headline counts summary.work.llmCalls, not chat spans
  • computeAgentTime charges a nested inference span once, at its outermost ancestor
  • buildSessionTurns folds a workless anchor into the next turn; labels prefer model calls
What was checked
  • finishReasonsIn strips case and separators, and both key sets are written stripped (TRUNCATION_FINISH_REASONS session-findings.ts:52, REFUSAL_FINISH_REASONS session-summary.ts:244)
  • The fold pushes the next bucket's spans into the earlier one and empties the earlier slot (session-turns.ts:242-255): no span is dropped, order is kept and anchors stay aligned
  • span.durationMs is exactly spanEndMs - spanStartMs (session-turns.ts:56-58), so the tool/inference duration swap is behaviour-neutral

…mpt-cache check

Follow-up to the uncacheable-prompt fix (#25). The never-written rule was
session-wide and keyed on provider `anthropic` with a write bucket of 0,
so it missed Claude through OpenRouter (flue: provider `openrouter`,
prompts 1,043-1,392 tokens under Haiku 4.5's 4,096 minimum) and
OpenRouter Broadcast (provider `anthropic`, write key absent, prompts
1.2K-2.6K), and a mixed session fell back to judging every call.

A call is now left out on its own when it is Claude (provider
`anthropic` or a `claude` model) and neither wrote nor read the cache,
like the 1024-token cut; the rest of the session is still judged.
…the finish-reason match

Follow-up to the finish-reason fix. The case it fixes today is Vercel AI
SDK's kebab-case ai.response.finishReason: a `content-filter` refusal
read as passed and now warns. Strands TS camelCase reasons live in
output-message parts and reach the checks only once those are read.

Confidence 4/5 · likely safe to merge
Each new filter has a regression test I re-derived by hand; the only defect is the skip wording, so a careful look at promptCacheCheck's message is all that is left.
quality 98/100 · 1 note · tests covered · risk medium

Read-path fixes to the agent-session checks, vitals and turn labels: the prompt-cache check now nets calls, ignores uncacheable prompts and uncached Claude calls, and the provider headline, finish-reason match and turn labels are corrected. Logic and tests hold up; only the prompt-cache skip wording misleads on never-cached Claude calls.

  • uncachedClaudeCall drops cache-less Claude calls per call instead of skipping the whole check
  • Prompt-cache check ignores calls under 1024 prompt tokens and reads substituted gateway-mirror observations
  • Provider headline uses summary.work.llmCalls, the netted count
  • finishReasonsIn matches finish reasons without case or separators

Findings

Note · F1 · Cache-check skip message calls never-cached Claude prompts too short

correctness · packages/agent-sessions/src/session-checks.ts:679

When every reporting call is an Anthropic call that wrote and read no cache, the uncachedClaudeCall filter (line 666) empties cacheable and the headline reads "Only 0 model calls had a prompt long enough to cache; at least 4 are needed to judge the prompt cache." — even when every prompt was thousands of tokens and simply never touched the cache. The previous code had a separate message for that state, so the reader is now told to lengthen a prompt that was already long.

Word the skip for both reasons and update the two assertions in `session-checks.test.ts` that pin this text, e.g. `Only ${plural(cacheable.length, "model call")} could be judged; the rest had a prompt under ${CACHE_MIN_PROMPT_TOKENS} tokens or never wrote or read the cache — at least ${CACHE_MIN_CALLS + 1} are needed to judge the prompt cache.`
What was checked
  • uncachedClaudeCall tests are per call; 5 uncached Claude calls would still warn without the filter (.filter at session-checks.ts:666)
  • Counted call list comes from sessionLlmCalls, so a gateway mirror of the same response id is judged once (session-summary.ts:613)
  • Re-derived the new expectations: cold 10%/3, warm 87%, mirror 75%, ADK 77%, mixed 3 calls

…sses every Claude minimum

Follow-up to the uncacheable-prompt fix (#25). Leaving out every Claude
call that neither wrote nor read the cache also hid real misses when the
emitter does not report writes: 8 Claude calls with 10K-token prompts
and 4 misses read "passed 90% over 3 calls" instead of "51% over 7".
Such a call is now left out only when its prompt is also under 4,096
tokens, the largest Claude minimum; above it, reading nothing is a miss.
The cold/warm cache fixture is back on a Claude model with no write
bucket and 10K prompts, and must warn.

Confidence 3/5 · needs attention
packages/agent-sessions/src/session-findings.ts (+5/-6) went unread before the pass ended; the four other diffs I read hold no defect I could confirm.

Warning

This review ended early; what follows is what it established.

Reworks the agent-session checks and turns: the prompt-cache check skips prompts below the provider's cache minimum and judges each model call once, agentTime charges an outer inference span once, the provider headline counts calls rather than observations, and workless setup anchors fold into the next turn. Contained to analysis code and well covered by new tests.

  • promptCacheCheck drops prompts under the provider's cache minimum and judges each call once
  • computeAgentTime charges only the outermost inference span and borrows a nested TTFT
  • sessionLlmCalls exposes one span per model call for the provider headline
  • Finish reasons match without case or separators; a workless anchor folds into the next turn

Still open from earlier reviews

What was checked
  • Cache-minimum branches exercised for short, uncached-Claude and mixed sessions (session-checks.test.ts:406-504)
  • outermostCall is cycle-guarded by a seen set and stops at an agent or tool span (session-summary.ts:372)
  • The fold runs only before a conversation anchor and only within the 5 s setup lead (session-turns.ts:241-254)

Blind runs of 11 frameworks (a fresh agent applying only the skill to an
open-source example) surfaced stale Maple limitations and missing setup
guidance.

- Remove statements fixed by #1120, #1121, #1122 and #1127 (2x token totals,
  Unidentified vendors, dropped plain-text tool payloads, OpenInference
  transcripts, check-headline caveats) from the skills and docs pages.
- Add to every skill: wrong-region 401 hint, load .env before the exporter,

* docs(agent-tracing): drop stale payload rules, build the Claude SDK env per call

- opentelemetry: tool results may be plain strings; Maple no longer drops
  plain-text tool payloads.
- claude-agent-sdk: build the telemetry env per query() and fail fast on a
  missing key, matching the skill.

* docs(agent-tracing): drop setup steps Maple no longer needs

- GenAI semconv flag is recommended, not required, for LangChain (Python), LlamaIndex and smolagents; openai-agents keeps it for agent lanes and finish reasons
- smolagents: stop zeroing run-span token usage
- Vercel AI SDK / Cloudflare Agents: runtimeContext groups sessions, drop enrichSpan
- Genkit: pass string tool results through unwrapped
- LangChain.js: correct the GenAiSpans rationale
- Strands TS: note zero tokens with api: "chat" behind OpenAI-compatible gateways

* skills(agent-tracing): pass LangChain.js tool results through as plain text

* docs(agent-tracing): drop workarounds and caveats the agent-session fixes made stale

- Session keys: every vendor now falls back to gen_ai.conversation.id; drop the
  "Maple ignores gen_ai.conversation.id" lines (agno, crewai, dspy, smolagents,
  spring-ai, strands) and the OpenInference Haystack session.id caveat.
- Tokens: usage counts only on the model-call span, so drop Strands'
  gen_ai_use_latest_invocation_tokens, the per-request TS agent rationale and
  the 1.54 floor, pydantic-ai's aggregated-usage warning and the Anthropic cache
  double-count caveats. Hand-written spans send semconv totals (input includes
  cache, output includes reasoning); the Anthropic/Gemini mappings and the ADK
  TS processor follow that.
- Cost: LiteLLM's litellm.cost.total and Pydantic AI's operation.cost are read;
  drop the LiteLLM turn-cost recipe.
- Detection: LangChain.js, Genkit and .NET Semantic Kernel get their framework
  label; OpenAI Agents TS gets agent lanes; LangChain.js groups by session.id
  without GenAiSpans' conversation-id copy.
- Classification: drop DSPy's adapter marker, Spring AI's advisor rename,
  LangChain's ChatPromptTemplate step, the MAF workflow.build instruction,
  Mastra scorer and LangChain turn-label caveats, and MapleSpanFixes' tool
  argument fix (the tool-errors view decodes arguments like the session page).

* skills(agent-tracing): leave ADK TS output tokens as reported; Maple adds thinking

* skills(agent-tracing): trim to what an implementing agent needs (#1174)

- cut human-guide links, backend background, tested-version notes, restated code
- drop the Go reference; other languages follow the generic steps
- Do-not lists keep only silent, non-obvious mistakes not stated in the steps
- inline the GenkitForMaple processor instead of pointing at the guide
- OTLP header: quoted literal space everywhere (every targeted SDK accepts it)
- add Cloudflare Agents and Genkit to the OpenTelemetry skill's framework list
- smolagents: enable_genai_semconv is required

* docs(agent-tracing): ADK header uses a quoted literal space, not %20

* docs(agent-tracing): keep tool error text out of Haystack spans with content off, note Spring AI's

* docs(agent-tracing): export ADK env vars, name MAPLE_INGEST_KEY, drop the removed Go reference

* skills(agent-tracing): tolerate malformed tool arguments, route provider SDKs through the router, raw skill URL

* docs(agent-tracing): tighten the OpenTelemetry guide's intro, content and check wording

* docs(agent-tracing): use the private ingest key from the environment, never inline

Agent tracing runs server-side, so guides and skills now use the private key (maple_sk_) as MAPLE_INGEST_KEY in the repo's secret/env convention. The user sets it themselves instead of pasting it into the prompt; skills create a gitignored .env and .env.example when the repo has none.

* docs(onboard): servers use the private ingest key from MAPLE_INGEST_KEY, browsers the public key

maple-onboard and the language style skills now read the private key (maple_sk_) from MAPLE_INGEST_KEY on servers, with the agent-tracing secret rules: repo secret/env convention, gitignored .env plus .env.example when there is none, fail fast when unset, never in source or asked for in chat. Browser and mobile code keep the inline public key. Landing docs and the agent-tracing overview prompt follow.

* docs(agent-tracing): warn and disable export when MAPLE_INGEST_KEY is unset

Instrumentation must never crash or block the app. Replace every throw,
exit, panic and ${VAR:?} on a missing key with one warning plus a skipped
Maple exporter, and never send an empty bearer.

* skills(agent-tracing): read the Spring key from Boot's environment so .env works

* Revert "skills(agent-tracing): read the Spring key from Boot's environment so .env works"

This reverts commit dc45d34.

* Revert "docs(agent-tracing): warn and disable export when MAPLE_INGEST_KEY is unset"

Instrumentation must never crash or block the app. Code that reads
MAPLE_INGEST_KEY logs one warning and skips the Maple exporter instead of
throwing, exiting or panicking, and Go/Rust setup errors are logged, not
fatal.
