Summary

  • widen Codex token counts to 64-bit values through JSONL parsing, cumulative deltas, packed file/day caches, retained reports, and final cost summaries
  • version Codex's persisted scanner cache so already-saturated pre-fix caches are ignored and rebuilt from source logs
  • remove the Fast/priority pricing narrowing path and add regressions above the signed 32-bit boundary plus cache round-trip/legacy invalidation coverage

Fixes #469

Validation

  • reproduced on the shipped v0.56.8 build with real local history: input and cached tokens both stopped at 2,147,483,647
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check passes
  • git diff --check passes
  • focused Rust test build was attempted with cargo test -p codexbar codex_token_pipeline_preserves_counts_above_i32_max --no-run, but this machine resolves link.exe to C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\link.exe; dependency build scripts fail before the codexbar crate is compiled. Hosted CircleCI Windows validation is required for the Rust test result.

Notes

The old cache cannot recover values that were already saturated, so the Codex cache schema is deliberately invalidated and rebuilt rather than simply deserialized into wider fields. Cached-input and reasoning accounting semantics are unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of token counts exceeding 32-bit limits across usage tracking, aggregation, pricing, reporting, and cache storage.
    • Preserved full nonnegative token values without truncation, improving cost calculation accuracy for high-volume usage.
    • Added cache schema validation so incompatible legacy caches are safely rebuilt.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for large token counts, accurate aggregation, serialization, and legacy cache invalidation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Codex token handling now uses 64-bit values across parsing, aggregation, caching, reporting, and pricing. Codex cache schema versioning invalidates older caches. Regression tests cover large counts and legacy cache recovery.

Changes

Codex token width migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cache contracts and schema handling
rust/src/core/jsonl_scanner.rs
Cache models, reports, packed day maps, and accumulators use i64 token values. Codex caches record schema version 1 and reset when the stored version differs.
JSONL parsing and delta propagation
rust/src/core/jsonl_scanner/codex/*, rust/src/core/jsonl_scanner.rs
Codex payloads, totals, deltas, reasoning values, and usage records preserve 64-bit counts without narrowing casts.
Cost aggregation and pricing
rust/src/codex_costs.rs, rust/src/core/cost_cache_budget.rs, rust/src/core/cost_pricing.rs
Packed-token aggregation and cache budget functions use i64. Fast-model pricing receives native u64 counts. Negative values remain clamped, and cached values remain capped at input values.
Large-count and legacy-cache validation
rust/src/core/jsonl_scanner/tests.rs, rust/src/cost_scanner/tests.rs
Tests cover counts above i32::MAX, cache round trips, legacy cache invalidation, and updated packed-token fixtures.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 90389

This change widens Codex token accounting and rebuilds incompatible caches, but unresolved cache-budget sizing and negative cumulative-total handling could respectively affect cache retention and overstate usage or costs. These issues should be resolved before merge.

Update the packed-value size bounds for i64 values.

packed.len() * 10 models 32-bit-sized JSON numbers. A nonnegative i64 token value needs up to 19 digits. Both estimates can now undercount enough to skip budget trimming for a trimmable cache.

Use a conservative bound in both locations.

Proposed fix
-            bytes += model.len() + 40 + packed.len() * 10;
+            bytes += model.len() + 40 + packed.len() * 20;

Clamp negative cumulative token counts before state updates.

Line 612 now accepts signed values below the former i32 range. For example, input_tokens: -3_000_000_000 becomes previous_totals; a later cumulative total of zero then records a false delta of 3_000_000_000. The same condition exists for CodexFastTotals.

Normalize input, cached, and output counts to zero or greater in read_token_totals, codex_totals_from_fast, and fast_totals_from_payload before they reach apply_totals_delta.
