Specifies two changes. First, a directional split of the body-write capability: PluginCapabilities.WritesBody becomes WritesRequestBody and gains a WritesResponseBody sibling, so response streaming is gated on the response-side flag alone. A request-only mutator currently disables incremental SSE relay for a body it never touches, because Pipeline.WritesBody() is an undirected OR that both proxy listeners consult. Second, tool-prune: an outbound plugin that deletes named entries from the tools array of an inference request. One registration, a static remove list, no persistence. Measure-only mode comes free from the framework's per-plugin on_error: observe policy. Includes a compatibility audit of all three plugins that declare the capability today (context-guru writes requests only and regains streaming; sparc and cpex write both and are unchanged), plus two adjacent fixes: cloneCatalog silently drops new capability fields, and SetBody's godoc describes an enforcement the code does not implement.

Claude Code's /cost reports a session total with no baseline, so it cannot attribute a saving to the plugin. Adds a third part to the proposal: a generic Metric / MetricsProvider optional interface in authlib/pipeline, surfaced through describePipeline and the existing abctl plugin detail pane. Both extension points already have the pattern needed — the wire side mirrors the RawConfigProvider assertion, the pane mirrors the Config section. Counters are in-memory and per-process, so no storage dependency. The plugin distinguishes enforce from observe by checking pctx.BodyMutated() after SetBody, which makes observe mode a projection: it reports what it would save before any request changes. Bytes removed are exact. Tokens are estimated by calibrating a bytes-per-token ratio on the user's own traffic via response usage, rather than bundling a tokenizer or hardcoding a constant. This re-adds OnFinish for two counter reads only; the removal list stays entirely configuration-driven.

Mechanical rename of PluginCapabilities.WritesBody and Pipeline.WritesBody() to WritesRequestBody, across 107 references in 28 files (Go source, documentation, and one YAML comment). No semantic change: every call site keeps the behaviour it had, so the existing body-capability tests still pass with only the identifier moved. This prepares the directional split in the next commit, where WritesResponseBody becomes the SSE streaming predicate and a request-only mutator stops forfeiting incremental relay. Renaming rather than adding gives out-of-tree plugin authors a compile error instead of a silently-defaulted field. Also gofmt's a pre-existing mis-sorted import in contextguru/plugin.go, which the rename's struct-alignment reflow pulled in.

PluginCapabilities.WritesRequestBody was doing double duty: both proxy listeners consulted it to decide whether an SSE response could be relayed incrementally, so a plugin that rewrites only the *request* body disabled *response* streaming for bytes it never touches. The cost is latency and feel rather than correctness — the buffered path restores the body verbatim — but a long completion arriving in one lump after a silent wait is the first thing anyone notices. Add WritesResponseBody and make it the streaming predicate: - Pipeline.WritesResponseBody() (and the Holder delegate) is what the forward and reverse proxies now gate the buffered fallback on. WritesRequestBody keeps gating request propagation. - Normalize() promotes ReadsBody from either write flag. - validateCapabilities is direction-aware: at most one mutator per direction, while reader-ordering still trips on either flag. Every configuration that exists in-tree today validates exactly as before, since all current mutators write requests. - sparc and cpex declare both flags and keep the buffered path. context-guru is request-only and regains streaming it never needed to lose. Two adjacent fixes the split exposed: - cloneCatalog copied capability fields one at a time, silently dropping any field added later from /v1/plugins. Replaced with a struct copy plus explicit slice reallocation, covered by a reflection round-trip that fails if a future field is missed. - SetBody's godoc claimed an undeclared mutation stays in-memory. It does not: bodyMutated is set unconditionally outside observe mode and the listeners gate purely on it. Corrected to describe actual behaviour and flag the divergence, rather than adding enforcement that would silently break out-of-tree plugins. Left as it was, the comment made "just don't declare the capability" look like a legitimate way to keep streaming. Tests: a truth table over the four plugin shapes; direction tests in both listeners asserting a request-only writer still receives one frame per SSE event plus a final (4 calls) while a response writer receives a single buffered delivery (1 call) — the frame count is what discriminates the paths, which the previous fallback test did not do; validateCapabilities table assertions; and the cloneCatalog round-trip.

Plugins had no way to report operator-facing counters. plugins.StatsSource
and auth.Stats exist but are auth-shaped — typed approval and denial enums
plus a custom MarshalJSON — so carrying something like "bytes removed"
through them would distort their meaning.
Add pipeline.Metric and pipeline.MetricsProvider: a plugin that implements
Metrics() has its counters picked up by describePipeline and rendered by
abctl. Named interfaces rather than inline literals at the call site, for
the same reason as RawConfigProvider — a greppable contract, and signature
drift becomes a compile error instead of a silently-failing assertion.
- authlib/pipeline/metrics.go: Metric{Name,Value,Unit,Note} and the
MetricsProvider interface. Value is float64 so a ratio or per-request
average needs no second type. Note carries the caveat a derived number
needs to be read honestly — above all the sample size behind an estimate.
- sessionapi: Metrics on the pipeline plugin view, populated by a type
assertion mirroring the RawConfigProvider case. Omitted from the payload
when a plugin reports none, so a consumer can tell "no such channel" from
"channel with nothing in it".
- configuredPlugin forwards Metrics() explicitly. Go does not promote
optional interfaces through the wrapper's embedded Plugin, which is why
Initializer/Shutdowner/Finisher/Readier are each forwarded by hand —
MetricsProvider needs the same treatment. Without it, metrics are
invisible for every plugin that HAS config, which is every plugin an
operator actually configures. Unlike StreamingResponder this can be
forwarded unconditionally: no dispatch path selects on it, and a
non-provider returns nil, which omitempty drops.
- abctl: PluginMetric mirrors the wire type locally (the PluginFieldEntry
convention, with a decode test guarding the tags), and the plugin detail
pane grows a Metrics section between the dependency sections and Config.
Values right-align into one column so they can be compared by eye; Note
renders in styleHint. The section header is drawn even when empty,
following the deliberate always-newline convention that keeps the layout
from shifting as you navigate between plugins.
Tests cover the unwrapped provider, the wrapped provider, and both
non-provider cases — the wrapped path specifically, because a test using an
unconfigured stub cannot see the forwarding bug at all.
Generic on purpose: it lands before any plugin uses it, so it is reviewed
on its own merits rather than as scaffolding for one caller.

A Claude Code turn carries the full tool manifest on every request — tens
of thousands of tokens of JSON schema, billed each time, largely for tools
the agent will never call in a given deployment. The manifest is assembled
by the client, so the proxy is the only place to trim it without changing
every client.
tool-prune deletes configured tool definitions from the outbound manifest.
The verdict is entirely configuration: `remove` names the tools, and there
is no learning, no state and no storage dependency. It declares
WritesRequestBody only, so responses still stream incrementally — which is
what the directional capability split in the earlier commit bought.
Measure before enforcing. Under `on_error: observe` the plugin computes
exactly what it would remove and counts it while the bytes on the wire stay
untouched: SetBody is a no-op on bytes and leaves BodyMutated() false, which
is how the plugin knows which counter to increment. One registration serves
both modes, selected by one word of config, and the readout says "requests
projected" rather than "requests pruned" so a projection is never mistaken
for a realised saving.
Safety is one-directional throughout — removing a tool the model needs is
the harmful failure, carrying extra definitions is merely expensive:
- Names are resolved from the raw request bytes, not from the parsed
manifest, because inference-parser drops unnamed tools and manifest
position therefore does not map back to array position. Covers both the
Anthropic (tools.i.name) and OpenAI (tools.i.function.name) dialects.
- Deletions run descending so an earlier one never shifts a later index.
- Every byte outside the removed elements is preserved, key order and
whitespace included.
- Removing every tool drops the `tools` and `tool_choice` keys rather than
leaving `tools: []`, which OpenAI rejects.
- Input must be valid JSON and the result is re-validated for JSON validity
and expected tool count before it reaches the wire. gjson parses
leniently, so without the input guard a truncated body resolved `tools`
and sjson rewrote the fragment down to `{` — caught in testing.
- Malformed bodies, absent manifests, non-shrinking rewrites and panics all
forward the original bytes.
Metrics use the channel added in the previous commit: request counts, tools
and bytes removed, per-tool attribution, and a tokens-saved estimate
calibrated on the operator's own traffic from the response usage block via
OnFinish, reported with its sample size rather than a bundled tokenizer or
an assumed bytes-per-token constant.
`abctl tools scan` derives a candidate list from ~/.claude/projects
transcripts: literal prefilter before any JSON parsing, tool calls
deduplicated by tool_use block id (a transcript is rewritten on every
resume), windowed by --days. Transcripts record tools that were *called*,
never tools that were *offered*, so the scan intersects "known Claude Code
built-ins" with "never called" and keeps anything it does not recognise.
An implies table covers indirect use (Agent implying SendMessage). --write
patches the remove: list in place, line-based and idempotent, so the
operator's comments and hand-tuned entries survive byte-for-byte.
Shipped inert: present in the --demo pipeline with an empty remove list and
on_error: observe, placed last because it is the body mutator. install-demo.sh
offers the scan only for a config that already exists, so a first run never
rewrites a file it just created. Excludable via exclude_plugin_toolprune,
added to the authbridge-lite tag set in both workflows.
Verified end to end against a running proxy, not only in unit tests: enforce
prunes exactly the configured tools and nothing else, observe leaves the
upstream bytes identical while still counting the projection, the
all-removed path drops both keys, and the metrics readout appears on
/v1/pipeline.

Correct the directional capability reference.
WritesRequestBody permits pctx.SetBody only. pctx.SetResponseBody requires WritesResponseBody. The current PluginCapabilities definition also has no BodyAccess member.

Avoid forcing buffered responses in MCP mode.
SPARC supports mcp and inference enforcement. In mcp mode, it gates the tool call during request processing and does not rewrite the upstream response. However, this unconditional WritesResponseBody flag makes listeners select the buffered response path for every SPARC chain. Streaming MCP responses can therefore stop being relayed incrementally.
Use mode-specific plugin registrations or capability metadata so only inference-mode SPARC declares WritesResponseBody.

tool_choice can name a specific tool — Anthropic's
{"type":"tool","name":"X"} or OpenAI's
{"type":"function","function":{"name":"X"}}. A tool_choice naming a tool
absent from the manifest is an invalid request, so pruning X while
leaving the forced choice in place produced a body the provider rejects.
tool_choice was only dropped when the remove list emptied the manifest
entirely; the far likelier partial case was unhandled.
The forced tool is now kept regardless of the configured list, and the
rest of the list still applies, so the saving is preserved without
constructing an invalid request.
Also corrects the safety claim this contradicted. "A cost optimisation
must never be able to break a request" overstated what the plugin can
promise: its own failure paths do fail open, but whether a provider or
gateway accepts a validly pruned manifest is outside what it can
observe. The docs now say that plainly and point at on_error: observe as
the way to establish it empirically — which is the whole reason
measure-only mode exists.

Session events carried nothing tying a response back to its request, so abctl paired them positionally: a request row was bracketed with whatever response row followed it. The code said so — "a server-side correlation id would be the fix if that ever bites." It bit, and expensively. Claude Code issues its session-title request concurrently with the main one, both POSTs to the same host. Interleaved as req(title), req(main), resp(title, 400), the heuristic walks back from the 400 to the nearest unpaired request — the main one — and brackets them together. The result was a 400 rendered directly beneath the row where tool-prune reported rewriting a body, which reads unambiguously as the plugin having broken that request. It had not: every request it modified returned 200, and every 400 belonged to a title request carrying no tool manifest that the plugin skipped outright. Hours went into disproving a defect the display had invented. Context.RequestID() generates a short per-request id on first use, and all four listeners stamp it on both the request and response event. Generated lazily rather than as a constructor argument because there are ten Context construction sites and an eleventh required field would be a standing trap; Contexts are single-goroutine by contract, so the lazy write needs no synchronisation. abctl pairs on it exactly and keeps the adjacency heuristic only for events without one, so an older data plane still renders brackets. The regression test uses the real interleaving from the session store and fails against the heuristic alone. Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>
The directional split left several places describing the old single flag, which is worse than no documentation because it reads as current: - framework-architecture.md still showed WritesRequestBody permitting pctx.SetResponseBody in five places, and listed a deprecated BodyAccess field that no longer exists on the struct at all. Updated to the two directional flags; the BodyAccess mentions that remain are changelog entries, accurate as history. - reverseproxy's streaming comment said WritesRequestBody is incompatible with streaming, directly beside the check that now reads WritesResponseBody — the exact inversion the split fixes. Also documents a known gap the split makes visible rather than introducing. Reader-ordering is validated in list order, which is request order; RunResponse iterates in reverse, so on the response pass the rule inverts and a reader needs to sit after a WritesResponseBody plugin. The two rules conflict for a both-direction mutator whenever a body reader is present, so no single ordering satisfies both. It does not bite in-tree because RunResponse skips StreamingResponders and every body-reading parser is one; a non-streaming reader (opa, ibac) before a response mutator would see rewritten bytes. Deliberately not enforced: the check would reject chains that validate today, and this change promised that no working configuration starts failing. Closing it needs direction-specific read capabilities, which is its own compatibility review. Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>
A rejected upstream request recorded {"kind":"backend_error","code":"400"}
and nothing else, so the session timeline showed that something failed
but never why. Debugging one meant reproducing it outside the proxy.
DeriveError now reads the provider's own machine-readable classification
out of the error body already buffered on that path: error.type, falling
back to error.code. That is what an operator acts on —
invalid_request_error means fix the request, rate_limit_error means back
off, authentication_error means fix credentials.
The human-readable error.message is deliberately excluded. Provider
messages routinely quote the offending part of the request, and the
session store is unauthenticated — the same reason body-mutation events
carry only length and sha256. type and code are enum-like: bounded
vocabularies chosen by the provider, carrying no request content. A test
asserts a credential embedded in a provider message does not reach the
event.
Costs no new body reads: it uses what is already buffered, bounds the
parse, and returns empty for anything that is not a JSON error document,
so an HTML 502 or a truncated body still yields the bare event rather
than noise.

Pushed four follow-up commits addressing the review, plus one bug found by running the plugin against live traffic. Fixed

Every commit builds and vets independently. Full suites pass under Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) noreply@anthropic.com |
Replays a 20-event interleaving captured from a live Claude Code session through the demo proxy. The adjacency heuristic mispaired 6 of its 15 responses: a three-way rotation across three concurrent litellm requests and a straight swap on a later pair. Ownership in the fixture is not guesswork. Each response event carries a duration measured from its own request's start, so subtracting it from the response timestamp identifies the true owning request independently of the RequestID the test exercises — which is how the mispairing was established in the first place. The assertion that matters is the last one: neither request tool-prune modified may own a 400. In the real trace both did on screen, and both actually returned 200 — the 400s belonged to concurrent requests the plugin never touched. That display artifact was read as the plugin breaking requests, so it is worth a test that fails loudly (12 assertions) if pairing ever regresses to adjacency.

Make request identifiers collision-free.
newRequestID returns only 48 random bits. It does not provide the documented per-process uniqueness. At one million IDs, a collision is about 0.18% likely. On collision, computeEventPairs keeps the first request for that ID and can show another request's response under it.
Increment requestIDCounter for every generated ID. Keep the random suffix only if cross-process distinction is useful.

Populate the response body before deriving the provider classification.
upstreamErrorKind receives only pctx.ResponseBody. In authbridge/authlib/listener/forwardproxy/server.go and authbridge/authlib/listener/reverseproxy/server.go, that field is assigned only when NeedsBody() is true. A normal pipeline with no body-consuming plugin therefore records a 4xx or 5xx event with an empty Message. The new classification is absent on the default response path. Capture a bounded error body for failed responses independently of plugin body requirements, or pass the already-read bytes into DeriveError. Add listener-level regression coverage.

Reject response-reader orderings in pipeline.New. validateCapabilities accepts [reader, response-mutator] because it checks declaration order, while RunResponse invokes the response mutator first. A non-streaming plugin that reads ResponseBody can therefore receive rewritten bytes. Add direction-specific read capabilities or reject this combination, then add a regression test with a body reader and a WritesResponseBody plugin.

…rune Enabling tool-prune took two steps: fill the remove list, then hand-edit on_error from observe to enforce. The second step was friction without much safety, because the two guards were never independent — enforce with an empty remove list is already a no-op. The list was always the real gate; the policy was belt-and-braces on top of it. So the demo config now ships on_error: enforce with an empty list, and `abctl tools scan --write` is the single deliberate act that turns the plugin on. The emitted YAML block drops the on_error line entirely, since "" already normalizes to enforce and printing a policy line implies it is the switch. observe is not removed and could not usefully be: it is a framework-wide policy in pipeline/policy.go that every plugin gets, and the plugin implements nothing for it beyond choosing which counter to increment. What changes is its billing — from a mandatory rollout stage to a deliberate instrument, documented for the two occasions it earns its keep: sizing the saving before it affects traffic, and clearing the plugin of suspicion when requests start failing. The second is worth keeping sharp; during development a display bug attributed another request's 400 to this plugin, and "set observe and see if the failures persist" is the cheapest way to settle that question. The demo test now pins only the empty list, not the policy. Asserting the policy would pin a default that is meant to be edited. Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>
Three ways this could do nothing while looking correctly configured, all hit during testing, none of which said anything: 1. A query string defeated the path gate. The gate suffix-matched the raw request target, so /v1/messages?beta=true — a request Claude Code really makes — never matched and every such request passed through untouched. Now the query and any trailing slash are stripped first. context-guru shares the pattern and has the same latent bug; not changed here, but worth a follow-up. 2. A skip did not say what it saw. The invocation recorded "path_not_inference" with no path, so the timeline could not distinguish "the path did not match" from "there was no path". A CONNECT tunnel has no path, and conflating the two sent a real investigation looking for a routing problem when TLS simply was not being decrypted. Tunnels now report no_path_tunnelled, and a genuine mismatch records the offending path. 3. The TLS bridge silently not decrypting. If the client does not trust the bridge CA, every HTTPS request opens an opaque CONNECT tunnel: parsers and tool-prune correctly no-op because there is no plaintext, nothing errors, and the only symptom is silence. The forward proxy now counts tunnels against decrypted requests and warns once — after five tunnels with nothing bridged, so passthrough hosts and startup races do not cry wolf — naming the absolute trust-anchor path to point a client at. Engine.CAFile carries that path for diagnostics; absolute because --demo anchors the CA to its launch directory, so a relative path is only right for someone standing in that directory. Also replaces the bare os error from `abctl tools scan --write` on a missing config. "open ./cortex-ca/demo.yaml: no such file or directory" is complete and useless: it names a relative path that resolves against the wrong directory more often than the right one. It now reports the absolute path it looked at, explains that --demo anchors the config to its launch directory, and gives the command that finds the real one. The bridge-health warning is covered by unit tests over the threshold, the bridged>0 case, once-only firing and concurrent tunnels under -race. It is not verified against a live untrusting client, because the health server's port is hardcoded to :9091 and a second proxy cannot start alongside a running one.

The plugin detail pane rendered "Metrics: (none)" no matter how much traffic a plugin had processed. /v1/pipeline reported the counters correctly; abctl fetched that view exactly once at startup, on the documented assumption that "the pipeline is static for the duration of a process so there's no periodic refresh." That assumption was true of the composition and false of the counters I attached to the same view. On a freshly started proxy the fetch happens before any traffic, every counter is zero, snapshot() returns nil, and omitempty drops the key — so the pane showed (none) permanently, which reads as "this plugin does nothing" rather than "this number is stale". The view is now refetched when it can be seen: immediately on opening the plugin detail pane, because that is exactly when someone wants current numbers, and on the existing 2s refresh tick while the detail or pipeline pane is open. Elsewhere it is left alone — the composition genuinely does not change, so polling it while nobody is looking at metrics would be overhead for nothing. A refreshed view is also re-rendered into an already-open detail pane, resolved by name and direction. Without that the pane keeps displaying the snapshot it was opened with, which was the actual bug: the fetch was happening on the tick, and the pane was ignoring the result.

Count only bridge-eligible opaque tunnels.
handleConnect counts every CONNECT before Decision.Classify can exclude configured passthrough destinations. Five intentional opaque tunnels can emit the CA-trust warning even when the bridge works as configured. The sync.Once gate then prevents a later warning for an actual decryption failure.
Track a separate counter after TLS classification identifies a bridge-eligible request, or delay the warning until that condition is known.

"tokens saved / request" was a single blended number, and it was the wrong shape: prompt tokens are not fungible. Anthropic charges 1.25x the input rate for a cache write and 0.1x for a cache read, so identical pruned bytes are worth more than 12x more on a cache miss than on a hit. Any dollar figure derived from one blended count is wrong by up to that factor, and the observed traffic alternates miss/hit turn by turn. litellm-budget-track already learned this — "Flat pricing would overstate cache-heavy traffic (Claude Code) by up to ~10x" — so this follows its convention rather than inventing a second one: - Three operator-configured rates with the same names and semantics: input_cost_per_token, cache_write_cost_per_token, cache_read_cost_per_token, the cache rates defaulting to the input rate. No output rate: pruning only shrinks the prompt, so charging output to it would be false. - No price is ever assumed. With no rates set the row reads "set input_cost_per_token to cost this" rather than showing a number. A confidently wrong dollar figure is worse than none, because it gets quoted in decisions. The saving is attributed to the tier it actually came out of. The tool manifest sits inside the cached prefix — Claude Code puts cache_control on the tool block — so a cache-miss request saves cache-write tokens and a hit saves cache-read tokens. Reported as separate rows, never summed, so the readout cannot be multiplied by a single rate. The assumption about manifest placement is stated at the attribution site, since it is the one thing a differently-shaped client would invalidate. Per-request byte savings reach OnFinish through pipeline.SetState, the documented cross-phase state API, so the saving is paired with the usage split of the same request. The bytes-to-tokens ratio stays calibrated on observed traffic, now over the summed per-tier prompt counts rather than the legacy aggregate. Tests cover attribution for miss / hit / no-cache, the absence of a blended row, the unpriced case naming the field that enables costing, and that the write-vs-read cost ratio really is ~12.5x at published ratios — which is the whole reason the tiers are separate. Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>
Rates are per model, not per deployment. Measured from one gateway's own cost headers: claude-opus-5 bills input at $3.80/Mtok, aws/claude-sonnet-5 at $1.52, aws/claude-haiku-4-5 at $0.76 — a 5x spread. A single flat rate misprices the saving by that factor depending on which model served the request, and Claude Code uses more than one (its session-title calls need not be the model doing the work). So `pricing` is a map keyed by model name, each entry carrying the same three tier rates, and each request is priced at its own model's rate with the dollars accumulated. Pricing at snapshot time from blended token totals cannot express this and has been replaced. The flat fields remain as a fallback for models absent from the table, so the simpler single-model config still works. A model with no entry and no fallback is counted, not guessed: a `requests unpriced` row names the models, so an incomplete table shows as a visible gap instead of a quietly understated total. Charging it at another model's rate would be wrong by up to 5x — worse than reporting nothing. Tokens are still reported for those requests; only the dollars are withheld. Model keys are matched case-insensitively, folded once at Configure rather than per request. Gateways vary in how they echo model names and a case mismatch would silently unprice the traffic, which is the same class of invisible failure as the earlier query-string path bug. The docs also record why rates are configured rather than read from the gateway. LiteLLM reports x-litellm-response-cost: 0 for streaming responses because the total is unknown when headers are sent, and Claude Code streams every /v1/messages — so the authoritative per-request cost is unavailable for exactly the traffic this plugin prunes. litellm-budget-track hits the same wall. Beyond that, a saving is a counterfactual: the cost of a request never sent can only be priced from rates, never measured. The method for deriving real rates from non-streaming probes is documented so an operator can obtain their own. Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>

Reject pricing keys that collide after case normalization.
Pricing can contain both Claude-Opus-5 and claude-opus-5. This assignment overwrites one value in unspecified Go map iteration order. Reloads can then report different savings for identical traffic. Validate normalized keys in Configure and reject duplicates. Add a regression test for this configuration.

The PHASE column prefixed box-drawing corners (┌/│/└) to visually connect a request row to its response. They can only be correct for exchanges that NEST, and concurrent requests do not nest — they cross: A starts, B starts, A ends, B ends. A tree has no notation for partial overlap, so computeSpanGlyphs sorted the spans a row participates in by width and called the widest "outer" and narrowest "inner", which for crossing spans made both rows claim to contain each other. The observed output was "┌│ req" opening one exchange and "└│ resp" closing another, with no consistent reading. That was not a tuning problem. The glyphs encoded containment, the data has overlap, and the mismatch is structural — so they are removed rather than patched. Nothing replaces them: the # column already pairs exchanges exactly, by the proxy-stamped RequestID, which is what the brackets were a lossy approximation of. Reading "6 with 6, 7 with 7" off one column is both correct under concurrency and simpler than a bracket that is only correct when it happens not to overlap. Removes spanGlyph, spanLevels, prefix() and computeSpanGlyphs along with their tests. computeEventPairs keeps returning the partner map — it is what assigns a shared # to a paired request and response — so pairing is untouched and its tests, including the field-trace regression, still hold.

The existing quickstart installs the demo, which is the wrong foundation for someone who wants to actually run this: `--demo` regenerates cortex-ca/demo.yaml from a built-in template at startup — before it binds ports, so even a start that fails on a port clash discards edits — which means a prune list and pricing written there do not survive a restart. This is the real path instead: AUTHBRIDGE_INSTALL_ONLY=1 for the binaries, a config under ~/.cortex that nothing overwrites, `abctl tools scan --write` to fill the prune list, and the HTTPS_PROXY / NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS invocation. Every step was run verbatim before committing: the config parses, the CA generates, the scan writes 15 tools, the hot reload lands, and a request through the proxy arrives upstream with the configured tools removed. Pricing is shown as shape only, with zeroed placeholders. Rates are deployment-specific — a shared gateway commonly bills well below list — so the doc points at the derivation method rather than shipping numbers that would be wrong for most readers, and notes that the gateway's own per-request cost cannot substitute because LiteLLM reports 0 for streaming responses, which is all of Claude Code's traffic. Also states the two things people check first and misread: /cost drops but /context does not (client-side, computed before the request leaves), and an empty Metrics pane with every event marked `tunnel` means the CA is not trusted rather than the plugin being broken.

The per-model pricing documentation used real measured numbers from the gateway they were derived on — $3.80/Mtok input for opus, $1.52 for sonnet, $0.76 for haiku, along with the observation that this is ~25% of Anthropic list. Those figures are one organisation's negotiated pricing, and this is a public repository; publishing them discloses a commercial discount that is not ours to disclose. Replaced with the ratios, which are what the argument actually needs: the input rate spans roughly 5x across the Claude family, so a flat rate misprices by that factor. Config examples now carry zeroed placeholders and point at the derivation method, and the "4x below list" aside becomes a general warning not to assume list pricing. Test fixtures move to synthetic round rates (1e-05 / 4e-06 / 2e-06) that preserve the ratios the assertions check — the tests verify a 5x model spread and a 12.5x cache-tier spread, neither of which needs a real price.

…ured tool-prune reported token savings but no dollars until an operator supplied rates, and an optional setup step that stands between someone and the number they came for mostly does not get taken. The plugin now carries a rate table for the Claude models on the rossoctl LiteLLM gateway, measured from its own x-litellm-response-cost headers, so `$ saved` and `$ saved / request` appear with no configuration at all. Resolution is most-specific-first: an explicit pricing entry for the model, then the flat fallback, then the built-in table. Config always wins outright, so an operator on a different gateway corrects a model without deleting anything. Defaults are a starting point, not a fact about anyone's account — they are gateway-specific, that gateway bills below vendor list, and nothing refreshes them. So provenance travels with the figure: any dollar row derived from the table carries "default rates — set pricing.<model> to use yours", and stops saying so once the model is configured. A model in neither the table nor the config is still counted in `requests unpriced` rather than charged at another model's rate, since the 5x spread across this family makes a wrong rate worse than no figure. The laptop quickstart drops its pricing block entirely as a result: install, write a config, scan, point Claude Code at it, and the saving shows in dollars. Verified by running the documented flow with no pricing configured: a pruned request reports $0.128918 saved, noted as default rates. Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>
The saving was only visible as a pane aggregate, which hides the thing worth seeing: cache-miss turns save an order of magnitude more than cache-hit turns, so an average describes neither. The events column now reads "33,604 −24.7k $0.117" — the request's own total, what tool-prune removed from it, and what that was worth. The two halves of the calculation necessarily live on different events. The byte saving is known when the request is rewritten; the tier it came out of, and the ratio converting bytes to tokens, only from the response. Emitting the finished figure from OnFinish is not an option: the listener defers RunFinish to the return of serveOutbound, so it runs after the response event is already recorded. So the plugin publishes what it knows at request time — bytes removed, post-prune body size, model, and the resolved per-tier rates — under "tool-prune/event". Carrying the rates rather than a dollar amount means a consumer needs no knowledge of the built-in default table, and abctl pairs request to response on the proxy-stamped RequestID (exact, including under the concurrency that made the old bracket glyphs unreadable) to finish it. Cost uses the tier the request actually used, so the ~12.5x spread between a cache write and a cache read lands on the right row. A model with no rate anywhere shows the token saving with no dollar figure rather than one priced at another model's rate. Sub-cent amounts format to four decimals: a per-request saving is often fractions of a cent, where %.2f would round every row to "0.00". Verified against a proxy alternating cache miss and hit on the same pruned request: $0.290 and $0.023, the 12.5x visible row to row. Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>

The saving was rendered on the response row, beside the billed token total. That reads as though the response had been reduced. It had not — tool-prune rewrites the outbound request, and the plugin's own `modify` invocation is already on the request row. Split across the rows the two figures belong to: the request row shows what was removed and what it was worth, the response row shows the token count the provider billed. They share a # so they are still read together. The response is what makes the request-side figure computable — it supplies the prompt token total behind the bytes-to-tokens ratio and the tier that picks the rate — so a request row looks forward to its paired response. That is a rendering detail, not a reason to attribute the saving there. A request whose response has not arrived yet renders an empty cell rather than a partial figure: without the tier there is no rate, and without the ratio no token count.

Use the actual request-body size for observe-mode savings. SetBody leaves the original body unchanged under ErrorPolicyObserve, while BodyBytesAfter records len(out). savedTokensAndCost therefore uses a projected denominator with response usage from the original request, which can overstate savings. Publish the original body size or mark the event as projected, and add a paired observe-mode request/response test.

Qualify the safety claim about transcript drift.
If a required tool becomes needed after the scan, or transcript coverage misses a call, that tool can enter remove. ToolPrune.OnRequest then removes its definition; only an explicit tool_choice preserves a forced tool. The model cannot select the removed tool, so drift can cause functional failures, not only lost savings. Document the rescan or observe-mode requirement and this correctness risk.

Correctness and privacy: - snapshot.go: gjson's String() on an object or array returns that node's RAW JSON, so a structured error.type put response body content — anything the provider quoted from the request — into the unauthenticated session store, defeating the reason error.message is excluded. Now accepts only a JSON string or number. A test plants a credential in a structured value. - toolprune: modelRates.rateFor reports whether a usable rate exists. set() ORs three fields, so a model configured with only a cache-read rate resolved as priced and then charged a cache-write request zero — vanishing from the total with no `requests unpriced` row. - toolprune: the built-in per-model table now precedes the flat fallback. The flat fields are documented as covering models "absent from pricing", and a model in the table is not absent; one flat rate shadowing every per-model default reintroduced flat-rate mispricing, silently, and claimed to be operator-configured. - toolprune: forcedToolChoice replaces forcedToolName. An object tool_choice naming nothing recognisable (Bedrock Converse nests it as tool.name) now declines to prune rather than reading it as "nothing forced" and risking removal of the one required tool. - abctl: a response carrying a RequestID that fails to pair exactly — a retry, or a stream recorded twice — no longer falls through to the adjacency heuristic, where it could claim an unrelated earlier request. The same guard gates pricing, since a mismatched response supplies the wrong cache tier and the tiers are 12.5x apart. - toolscan: PatchConfig writes via temp file + Sync + rename. os.WriteFile truncates in place, so a crash left a truncated config with no recovery copy, and the proxy's fsnotify reloader could observe the partial file. - demo.go: writeDemoConfig keeps an existing demo.yaml. It runs before any port binds, so an unconditional write meant a --demo start that then failed on a port clash destroyed the operator's edits — including a prune list written by `abctl tools scan --write`, which the config's own comment recommends. sparc declared WritesRequestBody but calls pctx.SetBody nowhere; the flag was stale from the undirected capability and occupied the single request-mutator slot, so [sparc, tool-prune] could not build. Dropped — which is the payoff this series was arguing for, now pinned by a test. Tests: real byte-exactness for the prune (reconstructing expected output from the original bytes, covering first/middle/last element and validating with encoding/json — the old test asserted only fragments and a shorter length, and never removed a first or last element); tool_choice string forms; OpenAI-dialect all-removed; and a reflection-driven clone check that fails if a future slice/map capability is aliased. Also: bytes.Contains on the scan hot path; names_unresolved distinguished from no_configured_tool_present; an in-flight guard so the 2s refresh tick cannot stack fetches against a 10s timeout; the dead crypto/rand fallback removed (cannot fail as of Go 1.24); and docs corrected — WritesResponseBody added to the capability snippet, the duplicated rate-derivation section removed, the "ships with on_error: observe" claim replaced with the empty remove list that is the actual guard, counters noted as resetting on hot-reload too, the BodyAccess changelog line marked as since-removed, and the README's 20-25% figure attributed to the traffic it was measured on.

All six verified before fixing; two did not reproduce and are recorded as such rather than claimed. Blockers: 1. Tools cited by conversation history are no longer pruned. A provider may reject a request whose tool_use / tool_result blocks reference a tool the manifest no longer defines, and enabling the plugin mid-conversation is exactly when that arises: the config hot-reloads, and the scan's rolling window can propose a tool used earlier in the same session. NOT reproducible against the gateway available here (a pruned manifest with citing history returned 200), so this is a guard against a plausible provider difference, not a demonstrated 400 — but a few unpruned definitions against a failed request is not a trade worth making. 2. A prompt-cache breakpoint carried by a pruned element is moved to the last surviving tool. Claude Code marks the last tool with cache_control; deleting that element deleted the breakpoint, turning every later turn into a full cache write — which costs far more than the definitions saved, so the plugin could have made spend worse. Also guarded against duplicating a marker when a survivor already has one, which would exceed the provider's limit. The available gateway reports no cache tokens either way, so this rests on the structural argument, not a measurement. 3. toolscan now checks sc.Err(). A scanner error silently stopped iteration, under-reporting which tools were CALLED and so proposing MORE for removal — failing toward removing a tool the agent needs, the one direction this must not fail in. 4. PatchConfig refuses a block-style remove: list instead of corrupting it. Replacing only the `remove:` line left its `- item` children dangling under an inline value: invalid YAML the proxy rejects on reload, leaving the operator with a file this tool broke. 5. laptop-token-savings.md had `AUTHBRIDGE_INSTALL_ONLY=1 curl … | sh`, which sets the variable for curl, not for the shell that runs the script. Verified: the piped sh sees it unset, so step 1 would have started the demo, bound 47600-47602, written the cortex-ca/demo.yaml the doc warns about, and made step 3 fail on the port clash. Moved onto sh, with the reason inline. I had claimed to run every step verbatim; I ran steps 2-4 and skipped 1 because the released binaries lack the plugin, so the claim was wrong. 6. Bare claude-sonnet-5 and claude-haiku-4-5 added to the rate table — without them the "no extra configuration" promise failed for the doc's own direct-to-vendor path. The caveat now names the direction of the error: "built-in rates (discounted gateway; understates list pricing)". Anyone paying vendor list is under-credited several-fold, and the laptop doc says to read the figure as a floor. Also from the review: DeriveError documents that it needs a body-reading plugin and silently no-ops on auth-only and lite chains; MetricsProvider carries a producer contract that Name/Note never hold request content, with a length bound in the session API — redact.JSON was not the answer, since it filters by key and the exposure is a value; and the deferred reverse-order reader gap now logs a startup warning naming the reader, so its only record is no longer a code comment an operator would never read.

The pass-3 table lists blockers 1-6 as unchanged; they were fixed in 1a71a91 and the cited line numbers are pre-fix positions. The new findings were all unaddressed and are fixed here. NeedsBody was the one predicate left undirected, and it gated both request buffering and response buffering — so a response-only mutator still forced the request body to be buffered and a request-only mutator still forced non-SSE response buffering, the mirror image of the waste this series set out to remove. Split into NeedsRequestBody / NeedsResponseBody, with the listeners using the matching one. They read RAW capabilities, not Normalize(): the ReadsBody promotion means "you may read the body you write", which is directional, so going through the undirected field would let WritesResponseBody imply a need for the request body and undo the split. An explicitly declared ReadsBody still counts for both, because that field genuinely does not say which body — closing that needs direction-specific read capabilities, the same prerequisite as the reverse-order reader gap. noteDrift's sync.Once was consumed by an empty first manifest, because Once.Do marks itself done however the closure returns. The precondition now runs before the guard. An empty first manifest is the norm on the dialects whose tool names the plugin already documents it cannot read (Gemini functionDeclarations, Bedrock toolSpec nesting), so a stale remove list stayed silent in exactly the deployments most likely to have one. The SSE buffered-path WARN fired per response when a WritesResponseBody plugin was present. cpex and sparc are supported configurations, not misconfigurations, so that was log spam at request rate; now one Info per process. The comment beside it claimed "WritesRequestBody is already false in this branch" — reaching that else only rules out WritesResponseBody and HasStreamingResponders, so a request-only mutator can be there. Corrected, and the check now asks about the response side specifically rather than asserting what NeedsBody implies. Cost accounting: `$ saved` is gross and now says so. Changing the remove list changes the cached prefix, so the next request re-writes it at ~1.25x input while the recurring saving accrues at ~0.1x on a small delta — tens of requests to break even per change. Worse, applying a change hot-reloads the config, which rebuilds the plugin and resets the counters, so the re-warm is invisible exactly when it is paid. Documented with the break-even reasoning. The "20-25% of your prompt" figure was wrong. Measured over the 99 requests of one real session: 4-20%, median 6%. It decays with conversation length because the removed bytes are a fixed size against a growing prompt (13% early, 4% by the end), and full-manifest requests save 15-20% where reduced-manifest ones save 4-6%. I had derived 24% from a single early turn and shipped it unqualified in the README and the quickstart. Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>
The built-in rate table held seven exact model keys, so every provider
version bump — opus 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 5 — silently dropped that traffic to
"unpriced" until someone edited Go and rebuilt the image. That is not a
maintenance burden an operator can be asked to carry, and the failure is
quiet: the readout just stops showing dollars.
Pricing keys are now globs, and the built-ins are keyed by family:
"*claude-opus-*" / "*claude-sonnet-*" / "*claude-haiku-*". Three patterns
replace the seven exact entries and cover every model on the gateway's
allowlist, including provider prefixes (aws/claude-opus-5), dated
suffixes (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001), and versions not yet released.
Config keys may be globs too. Resolution is ordered so the more specific
statement wins: exact config key, then longest matching config glob, then
built-in pattern, then the flat fallback, then unpriced. Exact-before-glob
is what keeps the escape hatch open — if a future version ever bills
differently from its family, pin that one model and the family default
keeps serving the rest.
Two details worth naming:
- Globs compile with no separator, unlike the host globs elsewhere in
authlib. Model names are delimited by "-" and "/", so "*" has to span
both; hostglob's "."-delimited semantics would not match aws/ prefixes.
- Glob candidates are sorted longest-pattern-first, so overlapping
patterns resolve deterministically rather than by map iteration order.
An invalid pattern now fails Configure with the offending key named. A
typo'd glob and a genuinely unknown model would otherwise both surface as
the same silent "unpriced" row.
Tests pin the real model list off the gateway allowlist, the precedence
ladder, case-insensitivity on both sides, and the bad-glob rejection.

Rates had to be given per token — 0.0000038 — while every provider publishes per million tokens. That put a division in the operator's head for no reason, and six leading zeros is a bad place to ask for accuracy: 0.000038 is a plausible-looking typo that misprices by 10x, in either direction, with nothing in the readout to reveal it. Pricing now accepts input_cost_per_million / cache_write_cost_per_million / cache_read_cost_per_million, on both the per-model entries and the flat fallback. "3.80" copied off a price list is now a valid config value. The per-token names remain accepted, for parity with litellm-budget-track and because LiteLLM's own model_prices_and_context_window.json is per-token — rates get copied out of it verbatim, and breaking that would trade one papercut for another. Different tiers may use different units. Setting both units for the same tier is a startup error rather than a precedence question. They differ by 10^6, so silently honouring one would either overstate a saving a millionfold or bury it under rounding, and the readout gives no clue which happened. The error names the entry and the tier, so an operator with three tiers configured doesn't bisect. The built-in table is now written per-Mtok too, which is the point of the exercise: "3.80 / tokensPerMillion" can be checked against a price list at a glance where 0.0000038 cannot. Those divisions are CONSTANT expressions so the compiler folds them exactly — a runtime division lands a ulp low (3.7999999999999996e-06) and would leave the table disagreeing with the documented $3.80/Mtok in the last digit. A test pins each built-in against the documented figure as a constant expression, and fails if anyone reintroduces a runtime conversion; I mutation-checked that it does. Config-supplied per-million values necessarily divide at runtime, so those tests compare with a tolerance — a 1e-16 relative difference on a dollar figure is not a property worth pinning. Also sorts the pricing keys while normalizing, so when several entries are malformed the reported one is stable across restarts instead of depending on map iteration order.

Removes unused tool definitions from outbound inference requests, so the tokens
for tools an agent never calls are not billed on every turn.
A Claude Code turn carries the full tool manifest on every request — tens of
thousands of tokens of JSON schema, billed each time, largely for tools the
agent will never call in a given deployment. The manifest is assembled by the
client, so the proxy is the only place to trim it without changing every client.
Design doc:
authbridge/docs/proposals/tool-prune.md(first two commits).Commits
Sequenced so the regression argument survives review; each builds and vets on
its own.
1.
refactor: renameWritesBodytoWritesRequestBody— mechanical, 107references in 28 files, no semantic change. The existing body-capability tests
pass with only the identifier moved. Renaming rather than adding gives
out-of-tree plugin authors a compile error instead of a silently-defaulted
field.
2.
feat: split the body-write capability by direction —WritesRequestBodywas doing double duty: both proxy listeners consulted it to decide whether an
SSE response could be relayed incrementally, so a plugin rewriting only the
request body disabled response streaming for bytes it never touches. Adds
WritesResponseBodyas the streaming predicate.sparcandcpexdeclare bothand keep the buffered path;
context-guruis request-only and regains streamingit never needed to lose.
validateCapabilitiesbecomes direction-aware, withidentical outcomes for every configuration that exists today.
Two adjacent fixes this exposed:
cloneCatalogcopied capability fields one ata time and silently dropped any field added later from
/v1/plugins(now astruct copy, covered by a reflection round-trip); and
SetBody's godoc claimedan undeclared mutation stays in-memory, which is not true — corrected to
describe actual behaviour rather than adding enforcement that would silently
break out-of-tree plugins.
3.
feat: add a plugin metrics channel —pipeline.Metric/MetricsProvider, surfaced onGET /v1/pipelineand rendered in abctl's pluginpane. Deliberately separate from
plugins.StatsSource/auth.Stats, which areauth-shaped. Lands before any plugin uses it so it is reviewed on its own
merits.
4.
feat: thetool-pruneplugin andabctl tools scan— the plugin, itscounters, the scanner, the
--democonfig entry, installer wiring, and docs.Safety
Removing a tool the model needs is the harmful failure; carrying extra
definitions is merely expensive. Everything is shaped around that asymmetry:
manifest —
inference-parserdrops unnamed tools, so manifest position doesnot map back to array position. Both dialects covered (
tools.i.name,tools.i.function.name).whitespace included.

requests projectedrather thanrequests prunedso a projection is nevermistaken for a realised saving.
The token figure is labelled an estimate with its sample size: rather than
bundling a tokenizer or assuming a bytes-per-token constant, the ratio is
calibrated on the operator's own traffic from the response
usageblock.Honest limits
/costand anything derived from the responseusageblock do move — theserver bills the request it received. Claude Code's
/contextbreakdown doesnot: it is a client-side pre-flight view and the pruning happens downstream.
Proxy-side pruning saves money but does not return context window; auto-compact
still triggers at the same point. Documented in
authbridge/docs/tool-prune-plugin.mdrather than left for someone to discover.Counters are per-process and in-memory — they reset on restart and on config
hot-reload, since a reload rebuilds the plugin.
Verification
Beyond unit tests, verified end to end against a running
authbridge-proxywitha recording upstream:
survivors, 675 → 400 bytes; non-tools payload byte-identical, surviving tool
schemas untouched, key order preserved.
projection was still counted.
/v1/pipeline; the token estimate'sarithmetic checks against the injected
usageblock.That exercise caught a bug the unit tests structurally could not see:
pipeline.WrapConfiguredwraps every plugin that has config, and Go does notpromote optional interfaces through the wrapper's embedded
Plugin— soMetricsProviderneeded explicit forwarding alongsideInitializer/Shutdowner/Finisher/Readier. Without it, metrics wereinvisible for every plugin an operator actually configures, while the
unconfigured test stub passed. Fixed in commit 3 with regression tests on the
wrapped path.
