reviewer 4b787194d7 sessions: fold subagent runs into PR attribution
Sidechain (subagent) session cost never reached the by-PR view, so a
session orchestrated on one model with subagent lanes on another showed
only the parent model on every PR row. Fold each sidechain's cost, calls,
models, and categories into the parent turn that spawned it, so it
inherits that turn's PR set under the existing turn-level state machine.

Linkage, in priority order: the spawn result's toolUseResult.agentId
pairs the child's agent id with the Agent/Task tool_use id that launched
it (recorded per turn), which is the true launch point and wins even when
the child's first activity landed during a later turn; else the child's
first-activity timestamp is bucketed into the containing turn span; else
the child folds into the parent's unattributed spend. Children of parents
that referenced no PR, and orphans whose parent is absent from the scan,
contribute nothing, unchanged.

Cache v6 to v7 (neither shipped, so one combined bump from v5): per-turn
spawnToolUseIds, per-file parentSessionId and agentSpawnLinks; the
validator and the append/compact paths thread them like prRefs. By-PR
footers now count parents plus folded subagent runs and the payload gains
an additive subagentSessions field. distinctCost now includes folded
subagent spend, documented in the payload comment.

CodeBurn Desktop

Electron desktop shell for CodeBurn's local-first usage views. M1 runs as a developer app and reads data by spawning the installed codeburn CLI; it does not run a daemon or HTTP server.

Development

npm --prefix app install
npm --prefix app run dev

Validation:

npm --prefix app run test
npm --prefix app run typecheck

CLI Dependency

Packaged builds ship their own version-matched copy of the codeburn CLI and require nothing installed — the app spawns the bundled CLI with Electron's own binary as Node (ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE). In development (Vite dev server) the app uses the repo's freshly-built CLI, and either can be overridden with CODEBURN_BIN or a persisted path file. See DISTRIBUTION.md for the bundling and resolution details. Electron resolves and spawns the CLI from the main process, then sends decoded JSON through the secure preload bridge into the renderer.

This follows the menubar pattern:

  • contextIsolation: true, nodeIntegration: false, and sandbox: true.
  • Renderer code calls window.codeburn only through app/renderer/lib/ipc.ts.
  • Main process handlers return JSON envelopes so structured CLI errors survive IPC.
  • Missing CLI, bad JSON, timeout, and nonzero exits are surfaced as honest UI states.
  • The renderer never imports CodeBurn engine code from src/; the data contract is spawn CLI, decode JSON, poll.

Data Contract

Current bridge calls:

  • Overview: codeburn status --format menubar-json --period <period> [--provider <provider>]
  • Plans: codeburn status --format json --period <period>
  • Models: codeburn models --format json --period <period> [--provider <provider>] [--by-task]
  • Optimize: codeburn yield --format json --period <period>
  • Spend flow: codeburn spend --format flow-json --period <period> [--provider <provider>]
  • Devices: codeburn devices --format json --period <period>
  • Device scan: codeburn devices scan --format json
  • Share status: codeburn share status --format json
  • Identity: codeburn identity --format json

Supported M1 periods are today, week, 30days, month, and all. Provider filtering is passed through where the CLI command supports it.

Sections

  • Overview: daily spend, spend stats, waste summary, and expensive sessions from menubar-json.
  • Spend: project/activity/tool/MCP/subagent lenses plus model-to-project flow.
  • Optimize: waste findings from menubar-json and reverted/abandoned yield data.
  • Models: model and task tables from models --format json.
  • Plans: plan pacing from status --format json.
  • Settings: device identity, nearby scan results, paired-device usage, and M2 visual affordances.

Packaging

npm run package produces an ad-hoc-signed macOS .dmg/.zip (arm64 and x64) via electron-builder, no paid Apple Developer account required. Packaging rebuilds the root CLI and bundles it into the app (Resources/cli), so installs need nothing on the target machine. See DISTRIBUTION.md for build instructions, the bundled-CLI mechanism, artifact locations, and the Gatekeeper first-open story.

M2 Backlog

  • Add Electron autoUpdater (the app already bundles its own version-matched CLI, so end-user installs need nothing on the machine; auto-update is the remaining piece).
  • Keep npm as a separate CLI-user channel at the same version as the desktop app.
  • Add macOS code signing with a paid Developer ID and notarization (ad-hoc packaging exists today; see DISTRIBUTION.md).
  • Add a codeburn desktop launcher subcommand.
  • Implement in-app pairing, approve, pull, and visibility mutations currently shown as M2 affordances.
  • Build the Models Compare sheet.
  • Add light theme support.
  • Expand codeburn optimize --format json with evidence and fix commands so Optimize can show richer actionable fixes.
