Claude's one-hour cache writes were priced at the five-minute rate. This keeps the one-hour subset through native transcript parsing and large-line projection, then prices each TTL at its published rate without changing token totals.

The cache port preserves main's rate-model column at index 11 and appends the one-hour count at index 12 in a separate v6 file. Live pre-v6 Claude transcripts are reparsed even when size and mtime match; deleted history remains available and older cache files stay untouched. Custom cache-write overrides apply equally to both TTLs. Deleted legacy transcripts cannot recover a TTL split the old cache never stored.

Rebuilt from @lbgos's original #16922, preserving the contributor commits and merging main. Removed stale paths from the former transcript architecture and reduced standalone added tests from three to one; five existing test files cover the behavior.

Verification at head 3754b62c6c89735e3a0bfd80d87f985c68719774:

• One parallel Claude Opus + Codex Sol full-diff review round found no confirmed code blockers. Retained the small provider-specific cache invalidation rather than adding a compatibility registry.
• 117 tests passed in eight focused suites. Five exact-main negative controls failed on the missing behavior and passed after restoring the fix.
• Server and provider-core typechecks passed; targeted formatting passed. Targeted lint passed with one confirmed existing unused layerTest warning.
• A literal v5 migration fixture proves matching-size/mtime reparsing, preservation of the rate-model column and deleted history, separate v6 persistence, unchanged v5 bytes, and identical buckets after deleting the live transcript and restarting.
• Standalone production UsageService + ProviderHostLive with disposable provider homes, real filesystem, synthetic Claude transcript and deterministic HTTP rate fixture: 750,000 one-hour plus 250,000 five-minute writes produce $7.25, versus $5.00 under main's arithmetic. Deleting the transcript and recreating the service preserves $7.25. Proof and verification details.

Current-head GitHub checks that ran passed or skipped; the rollup contains metadata/status checks rather than full build/test CI jobs. The hosted CodeRabbit review text still describes the original implementation; the independent full-diff reviews above cover the takeover head.

This is server/service evidence; no full-app client, real-account rate fetch, macOS, Windows, Electron desktop, iOS or Android runtime verification was performed. There is no UI or wire-contract change, so screenshots would not demonstrate the arithmetic.

Models and harness: Codex gpt-6-astra (tests), Codex gpt-6.1-sol (implementation), Claude claude-opus-5-5 and Codex gpt-6-sol (independent reviews), orchestrated through T3 Code.

Fixes #21010

Walkthrough

Claude transcript parsing now records 1-hour cache-write tokens. Usage pricing applies separate 1-hour and 5-minute rates. Scan-cache version 12 serializes the new token count and treats older Claude cache entries as legacy.

Changes: Claude cache-write pricing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Parse 1-hour cache-write usage packages/provider-core/src/server/usage.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/claudeUsage.ts, apps/server/src/usage/usageTranscriptStreaming.test.ts	UsageRecord adds an optional cacheCreation1hTokens field. The Claude parser reads the 1-hour token count from cache_creation; tests cover parsing it.
Price 1-hour cache writes apps/server/src/usage/usagePricing.ts, apps/server/src/usage/usagePricing.test.ts, apps/server/src/usage/usageAggregation.test.ts	Pricing rates add a 1-hour cache-write rate. Cost calculations cap the 1-hour token count at total cache-write tokens and price the remainder at the 5-minute rate. Tests cover standard and speed-tier pricing, override rates, and provider-reported costs.
Persist and migrate usage scan caches apps/server/src/usage/usageScanCache.ts, apps/server/src/usage/usageScanCache.test.ts, apps/server/src/usage/UsageService.test.ts	The scan cache advances to version 12 and serializes the 1-hour token count. Claude entries from versions below 12 are marked legacy. Cache tests cover decoding, invalidation, and reparsing.

Merge Risk: Low · up to cccff

Some priority-tier or advisor cache writes can be priced at the wrong rate. These are bounded pricing gaps to fix or explicitly accept before merging; cached usage totals remain intact.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 94682

This is a bounded pricing correction with a backward-compatible cache upgrade. No broader access or privilege change was found. Preserving saved history through upgrades and recovery is the main design consideration.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — An actor already able to modify scanned transcript files can influence displayed usage costs, including the newly recognized duration split. That accounting-integrity exposure predates this PR; the changed flow does not establish access to another tenant, service, credential or privileged operation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The network-facing usage handler remains bound to the aggregate UsageSummary response and the existing AuthDiagnosticsReadScope authorization. The changed parser exports are internal server functions used by the transcript reader, not new network entrypoints.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Separate versioned cache files contain upgrade and downgrade interference by preventing this migration from replacing the older server's saved history. The inspected migration test checks live-record repricing, deleted-record retention and unchanged legacy contents; abrupt-process interruption remains unvalidated at runtime.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the problem, implementation, scope, linked issue, migration behavior, and detailed verification results. It does not use the template's explicit section headings, but it provides the required information and is sufficiently complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The PR satisfies the coding requirements in [#21010]. parseClaudeRecord reads cache_creation.ephemeral_1h_input_tokens into cacheCreation1hTokens, and UsageRecord carries the optional field. usagePricing.ts prices the capped one-hour subset with cacheCreation1hCostPerToken and prices the remainder with the five-minute rate. Missing one-hour pricing falls back to the five-minute rate. Override rates set both TTL rates consistently. Records without a cache-creation breakdown retain the existing zero-subset behavior. Version 12 cache serialization preserves the field, and the focused tests cover mixed TTLs, fallback, overrides, parsing, and cache migration.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within [#21010]. Parser, UsageRecord, pricing, rate-table, and cache-version changes support carrying and pricing the one-hour cache-write subset. The added and updated tests verify those behaviors. Claude cache invalidation for pre-v12 entries prevents stale records from losing the new split. No unrelated product or wire-contract changes are shown.

Carry the one-hour count into advisor records.

Advisor iterations can contain a one-hour cache-write breakdown. The parser drops that count, so pricing can use the five-minute rate for those writes. Carry the count into the advisor record and add a focused parser case.

Use the tier's five-minute rate when its one-hour rate is missing.

cacheRate tries the standard-rate ratio before cacheCreationCostPerToken. If a priority tier publishes a five-minute rate but no one-hour rate, the computed one-hour price can differ from that tier's five-minute price. For example, a standard input rate of 4e-6, a standard five-minute rate of 5e-6, a priority input rate of 8e-6, and an explicit priority five-minute rate of 16e-6 produce a priority one-hour rate of 10e-6. The documented fallback requires 16e-6. Prefer the current tier's five-minute rate for this field, and cover the explicit-tier-rate case in the pricing test.

Evidence

Real web app, Chromium 1280×800, light theme, separate fresh databases. Seed the same synthetic native Claude assistant transcript without costUSD or custom overrides: 400,000 five-minute cache writes and 600,000 one-hour writes. Open Usage → Cost → 30 days → Claude Code. Expected: 0.4 × $3.75 + 0.6 × $6 = $5.10, retaining 1M tokens. Base shows $3.75, understating cost by $1.35. Restart both servers and reopen Usage; the respective results persist.

• Live Claude generation of one-hour cache writes was not exercised; the real server scanned a synthetic native transcript instead.
• Missing one-hour-rate fallback and custom cache-write override behavior were not exercised in the app.
• Desktop and mobile clients were not exercised.

[thelogicmatrix]

I found one remaining cache-write pricing case in this PR. Advisor iterations have their own cache_creation breakdown, but their parsed records omit cacheCreation1hTokens.

This follow-up commit uses the same TTL reader for the main message and each advisor. It extends the existing advisor test for mixed writes and records without a split through both parser paths. The regression fails on cccff0f and passes with the fix.

Validation: 49 focused tests pass. Server typechecking, targeted formatting and lint pass. The commit hook also passed formatting, lint and knip.

This account cannot push to the PR branch. A maintainer can apply the patch below with git am.
