Feat: Add abctl cost --by, with a dash for unpriced rows - #1152
Conversation
`abctl cost --by` needs the same "cost descending, ties on the label" order the AGENTS pane uses, so the rule moves to usage.SortSeriesLabels and both call it rather than each carrying a comparison. tui.sortAgentRows is gone; its deterministic test moved with the function. IT TAKES A SLICE, NOT THE MAP, and that signature is the whole reason the rule is testable. Ranking straight out of a map takes the tie order from Go's randomised walk, and sort.Slice is unstable, so the tied block is permuted by the sort itself — a test for the tie-break then only catches its deletion when the random order happens to be wrong. Measured when it was written that way: 4 runs in 20, and adding tied labels made it worse rather than better. The tie-break earns the attention: every UNPRICED series has CostMicros 0, so until billing units land the label is the entire order for all of them — which is every Bob row today. A label absent from the series map sorts as free rather than panicking. Reachable rather than defensive, since a caller may hold labels from one read and the map from another, and the label tie-break still places it stably.

…he axis is refused `abctl cost --by agent` prints a row per label, costliest first. Also model, endpoint, session, status, plugin and host — the set usage.ParseGroup accepts. AN UNPRICED ROW SHOWS "—", NEVER "$0.00", keyed on PricedRequests rather than CostMicros so a genuine zero-rate charge stays distinguishable from a figure nothing could produce. That is the column's main job today: Bob bills in credits, which the cost model cannot represent, so every Bob row is unpriced and "$0.00" would assert its traffic was free. THE ACCEPTED SET IS DELIBERATELY WIDER THAN WHAT EVERY WINDOW SERVES. A ledger window answers agent, model and endpoint; a duration window from the ring answers session, status, plugin and host too. Rejecting those here would refuse a question the proxy can answer. Where a window cannot serve the axis, the server DOWNGRADES rather than refusing — core/sessionapi reports the grouping in effect instead of a 400, which its own comment argues for and which this does not try to undo from the client side. The duty here is to NOTICE: reportDowngrade compares what was asked against Snapshot.Group, says what the server answered with instead, and names the axes that do work. Without it the command prints an ungrouped total under a heading claiming a breakdown. --by and --agent are refused together rather than resolved by precedence. One asks for every label, the other for one; letting either win would answer a question nobody asked, and which one won would be an implementation detail. The residual disclosure now covers its original case. cmd_cost.go's older comment predicted exactly this — "a table summing to less than the headline above it with nothing to explain the difference" — and the note sits under the table where the shortfall is visible. costJSON gains `by` and `series` beside the `ungroupedCostMicros` the --agent work added, all three present only when a breakdown was asked for. ONE NOTE ON HOW THIS WAS BUILT, because it cost real time: a mutation-testing loop ran `git checkout -- cmd_cost.go` between cases while this work was UNCOMMITTED, which reverted the file to HEAD and destroyed it. The later cases then "failed" with `flag provided but not defined: -by`, which is what a wiped implementation looks like rather than a live guard. Commit first, then mutate.

Review round 1. Three classes, each swept repo-wide before editing rather than
fixed at the file:line the review named.
UNFAILABLE-ASSERTION — swept every symbol the diff adds (63) against every
*_test.go that names one: 11 unwitnessed, of which 7 are covered behaviourally
through runCost (their mutants died) and 4 were live gaps.
- --by --json had no assertions at all. Seven tests pass --by and sixteen pass
--json; the two sets did not intersect, so seriesForBreakdown, costJSON.By
and ungroupedForBreakdown's by term were reachable with nothing pointed at
them. Two tests now cover both halves of the contract: the axis, the folded
series and the residual by VALUE, and the default path serialising none of
the three keys. The negative case is the half costJSON's own comments spend
forty lines on -- absence means "no breakdown was asked for", so a producer
emitting "by":"" would break a promise while passing any presence check.
The series labels arrive in different buckets, so handing over snap.Buckets
verbatim fails rather than looking plausible.
- agentCostCell's "-- and never $0.00" rule had no test, while its CLI twin
did. Table test over the four readings that must stay separable: unpriced,
priced-at-zero, priced, and a known sub-cent charge ("<$0.01", which is
neither of the other two). A second test carries the rule through
rebuildAgentsTable, so a builder that formatted the money a second way
fails too.
SELF-CONSISTENCY — swept the diff's own stated rules (111 claim lines raw) for
code contradicting them. The review named three; the sweep found two more, and
correctly cleared one that looked stale but is accurate for its own site
(writeCostSummary's residual note really is --agent-only; the --by table has a
separate one).
- scopeToAgent copied the window's PricedBy/UnpricedBy/IncompleteBy into an
agent-scoped answer. They are ring-only and keyed by reason, not by agent,
so nothing in a snapshot can re-derive one agent's share -- the honest
option is to drop them. Reachable on any duration window. The human path
was the worse one: the agent's count printed above the window's reasons,
which can account for more requests than the line above them. This is the
rule writeCostSummary states about itself. The false "the JSON schema
keeps working" clause is deleted rather than reworded.
- paneAgents' enum comment promised the agent scoping the PR proved
impossible; four other places in the same diff say it is read-only because
/v1/usage has no agent filter. Replaced with keys.go's already-verified
sentence rather than a newly composed one.
- "ONLY UNDER --agent" at the costJSON call site, "populated ONLY on that
path", "THE AXIS IS GroupNone UNLESS --agent ASKS OTHERWISE" and "WITH the
flag the axis becomes GroupAgent" all predate --by sharing the path. The
--by clause deliberately does NOT claim reconcilability, because plugin is
an accepted axis that is not reconcilable.
Mutation gate: the four previously-surviving mutants (M09, M10, M11, M18) now
die, and three new mutants cover the assertions the existing suite could not
reach. Appended to the harness, never renumbered; the full suite is re-run so a
guard that disappeared would show up as a mutant coming back to life.
Deferred, with reasons, in the PR body: the float money formatter (package main
has no integer one, so fixing it means a new symbol), --by plugin's third
meaning for the residual's absence, a negative per-label cost, and
rankSeriesByCost's third copy of the ranking.

Handle server grouping downgrades in JSON output.
For --by host, --by session, --by status, or --by plugin on a ledger-backed window, the server accepts the request but returns GroupNone. The human path detects this mismatch, but writeCostJSON still emits the requested by value and folds the ungrouped bucket series. The JSON can therefore claim an axis while omitting series, even though totals includes traffic.
Gate By, Series, and the residual on the grouping actually served.

…landed rossoctl#1150 merged as 61910e3 while this branch was mid-review, and its five commits are this branch's own ancestors. Main arrived carrying fixes for three things round 2 had open here, each of them better than what this branch had: - scopeToAgent now re-derives Priced as counts.PricedRequests > 0, which this branch had NOT fixed. Verified independently before the merge: a test written here against a reproduction showed `--agent <an unpriced agent>` printing $0.00 in a window where another agent was priced, breaking the "cost unavailable rather than $0.00" rule stated three lines above the gate. That test is kept and now passes against main's implementation, and M28 mutates main's line to prove the test is load-bearing rather than merely passing beside it. - the three provenance maps are dropped as three statements rather than this branch's one-line tuple assignment, with the reasoning for why Degraded, DaysOutsideRetention and the two overshoot fields deliberately STAY. - the "every existing writer applies unchanged" quantifier is discharged (main's 9702d5e), which was round 2's finding rossoctl#1 here. Conflicts resolved toward main on every shared line. Two deletions are mine and need saying out loud: - sortAgentRows, which main extracted from the fold, is DELETED. It had zero callers here: this branch's d2a1fb1 had already moved the ranking into usage.SortSeriesLabels, which both surfaces now call. Keeping main's copy would put a second definition of the cost-desc/label-asc rule back in the tree, which is the one thing d2a1fb1 exists to prevent. - TestSortAgentRows_OrdersByCostThenLabel goes with it, and it is NOT an unguarded property. The rule moved to core, where M13 (tie-break deleted) and M14 (direction inverted) both die on TestSortSeriesLabels_ByCostThenLabel. Main's TUI tests replace this branch's near-duplicates of them (TestAgentCostCell_* and the rebuildAgentsTable walk): two names for one rule is the parity smell this PR has already been pulled up on twice, so the landed spelling wins and this branch's copies are dropped. Harness: 30 ids, all targets re-verified against the merged tree before running. M23's target moved with the merge — this branch's one-liner became main's three statements — so it is RETARGETED under the same id rather than renumbered; a stale target prints PRECHECK-FAILED, which is neither a kill nor a survivor and reads past easily.

…im nobody can check Review round 2's three must-fix, all of them round 1's own repairs — so this round is deliberately subtractive rather than a better restatement. UNFAILABLE-ASSERTION (M26 SURVIVED). The --by --json test asserted costMicros and claimed in its own comment that a present label with no cost keeps "nothing priced it" distinct from "priced at a rate of zero". It cannot: both usage.Counts money fields are omitempty, so the two readings decode identically from costMicros. Zeroing PricedRequests across seriesForBreakdown's fold passed the entire cmd/abctl package. pricedRequests is the only field that carries the distinction on the wire, so the table now asserts the pair per label, which is the machine-path twin of the TUI's four-row agentCostCell table. Swept the class first: of the five map-decode assertions round 1 added, this was the only one comparing against zero — the other four expect non-zero values and cannot collapse this way. SELF-CONSISTENCY. scopeToAgent's doc still claimed "every existing writer applies unchanged". Round 1 deleted one item from the list that sentence illustrates and kept the sentence, which is the fix style that writes the next round's findings. The quantifier is now gone: the three writers that do read one agent's numbers are named, and what does NOT survive the narrowing is stated once, at the narrowing. Note this is NOT the "every" main's 9702d5e discharged — that one is in main's own inline comment about the overshoot fields, and this doc comment is false on both branches. BODY-CLAIM-REFUTED. The body told readers the harness was "reproducible rather than described" and gave them `bash /tmp/pr-review/...`. It is in no commit and the path is machine-local, so the claim was false for every reader but one, on a surface with no CI and no diff review. Deleted rather than repathed — round 1 already replaced a bad quantifier with this, and replacing it again with a better sentence is how a third round gets written. The body is net -8 lines. The deferred list also gained the COST-column width item it was missing, so it now matches the six in the session's deferred notes. Mutation gate: 30 ids, run in full on a COMMITTED tree. M26 now dies. The previous run of this round was void and is worth recording as a trap — sortAgentRows was deleted in the worktree but not committed, the driver's `git checkout --` restored the staged copy, and twelve mutants reported `killed ()` with no test name. An empty paren list is a build error wearing a kill's clothes; only M00-control, M20 (declared + declined) and M26 ever survived legitimately.

… body claims Review round 4. One of the four must-fix was this branch's own (25% self-inflicted, below the stop rule); the other three are body claims that predate the review loop and only became checkable once rossoctl#1150 landed. SELF-CONSISTENCY, and it is round 3's. Deleting round 2's "every existing writer applies unchanged" replaced it with a second universal: "that list is the one place it is stated". The pointer is true — the narrowing does state it, with reasons — but the uniqueness is not: cmd_cost_test.go's TestRunCost_JSONScopedToAnAgentNarrowsProvenanceAndNamesTheAgent states the same list and the same reason, in main, at base. The clause is deleted; the pointer stays. Two rounds running, a deletion here has smuggled in a fresh quantifier, so this one asserts nothing about where else the fact appears. DUAL-PATH-PARITY, subtractive. The two subtests round 3 added for the Priced narrowing duplicate guards main had already landed: TestRunCost_AgentReportsThatAgentOnly asserts "cost unavailable" and never "$0.00" on the human path, and the JSON test above asserts priced=false on the machine path — both for the same priceable-but-unpriced shape, with the same reasoning. Deleted, with a comment recording that M28 dies on main's pair rather than leaving the reader to wonder where the guard went. This branch dropped its own agentCostCell copies for exactly this reason, so keeping these would have contradicted the commit that did it. Wording, same commit: "both usage.Counts money fields are omitempty" is wrong twice — Counts has six money fields, and the second field the sentence is about, PricedRequests, is a counter. The load-bearing point survives with the two field citations that make it checkable. BODY-CLAIM-REFUTED x3, none of them the loop's: - "Stacked on rossoctl#1150 ... which is not merged ... review this PR from that commit forward" — rossoctl#1150 merged as 61910e3 and this branch merged it at f2e42b5. The commits have dropped out of the diff as that note predicted, which is what makes the note itself wrong, including the instruction it gives a reviewer. Deleted. - The sample output had four cells no writer can produce: costUSD is `$%.2f`, so `$146.3616` cannot appear, and plainCount is `%d`, so neither can `1,057`. It is now CAPTURED from runCost against a fixture rather than transcribed, which also restored the coverage-gap line the hand-written version had dropped. - "the counts match the base commit and none are in files this touches" — two of the 52 are in files this touches (core/cost/usage/usage.go:1263, cmd/abctl/tui/app.go:2507). Neither is on a line it changes, and that is the claim now made: one word, files to lines. Mutation gate: 30 ids on a committed tree, 28 killed. Only M00-control (a no-op) and M20 (declared + declined since round 1) survive. M28 re-confirmed dead against main's pair after this branch's duplicates were removed — that was checked, not assumed, because deleting the tests that killed it is exactly how a guard goes quiet.

…that was capped
Review round 5. Both must-fix were round 4's own — 100% self-inflicted, so this
round is subtractive by construction: two deletions, no replacement prose.
SELF-CONSISTENCY. Round 4's wording fix ended "pricedRequests is omitempty too, so
it is the PAIR that carries the distinction, not either alone", which contradicts
the same comment's opening sentence ("pricedRequests IS THE FIELD THAT SEPARATES THE
TWO READINGS") and is refuted by the harness: M26 zeroes PricedRequests and dies on
the pricedRequests assertion by itself. pricedRequests alone is the discriminator.
The sentence is deleted rather than re-argued — this is the third consecutive round
in which a deletion here shipped a fresh claim, and the opening sentence was already
the true one.
BODY-CLAIM-REFUTED. "golangci-lint reports pre-existing findings in both modules;
the counts match the base commit and none are on lines this changes" was false in
both halves, and the reason it survived four rounds is worth recording: golangci-lint
caps output by default (max-issues-per-linter 50, max-same-issues 3), so the "50,
unchanged" figure this gate relied on was an artifact of the cap. Uncapped it is 371
at base and 382 here, and all 11 additions are in cmd_cost.go on added lines.
Those 11 are NOT left unfixed by oversight. Every one is errcheck on a
fmt.Fprintf/Fprintln/Fprint write to stdout, which is the shape this file already
carries 26 of at base — 37 of 37 findings in it are that rule and nothing else.
Checking the error on eleven new print statements while twenty-six neighbours do not
would be a local inconsistency, and errcheck-on-print is a codebase-wide convention
to change deliberately or not at all. So the paragraph is DELETED rather than
corrected a third time: CI reports lint, and a self-reported lint status in a body
with no CI has now been wrong in two consecutive rounds.
Mutation gate: 30 ids on a committed tree, 30 declared = 30 executed, 28 killed, 0

… two claims Round 1 of /pr-review-loop. Five must-fix findings, every one blaming to the original feature commit (ae1fad5) rather than to any of the four earlier hand-run fix rounds: 0/5 self-inflicted. Those rounds did not manufacture these, they missed them. UNGUARDED-BRANCH (3 instances, all found by mutation, none by reading) Swept every conditional the diff adds to production code — 18 of them, against an 18-mutant suite. Three survived, each a branch the feature added without a guard. rossoctl#1 writeCostBreakdown's `if c.PricedRequests > 0`, the PR's HEADLINE claim and the one thing nothing asserted. The fixture held no row where the two readings differ, so `if c.CostMicros > 0` passed the whole package. Added a priced-at- rate-zero row (pricedRequests 2, costMicros 0) and moved the assertions from the whole output to PER ROW: "an em dash appears" and "$0.00 does not" are both satisfied with the two cells on each other's rows. tui/agents_pane_test.go already stated this rule for the pane; this is the CLI table's half of it. rossoctl#2 the served-but-empty arm. New test, asserting the absence of the table heading and of reportDowngrade's wording, not only the note's presence. rossoctl#3 `--by none`. ParseGroup accepts "none" and returns GroupNone with a nil error, so `g == usage.GroupNone` is the only thing rejecting it. Folded into TestRunCost_UnknownByNamesTheAcceptedAxes as a table. Asserts the MESSAGE, which is the half that names the accepted axes; the endpoint is unreachable by design because the axis is parsed before any request. FALSE-BODY-CLAIM (2 instances; 20 quantifier hits swept, round 1's narrower regex found 14) rossoctl#4 "the command compares what it asked for against Snapshot.Group" holds for the printed table and not for --json, which serialises `by` and omits `series` with no field naming the axis actually served. Narrowed to the table. The code fix adds a serialised field to a document scripts already consume, so it becomes a seventh deferred entry rather than a patch here. rossoctl#5 "every other money surface in the repo refuses a negative" is false. agentCostCell renders $-5.0000 for the same input: it calls formatUSDTotalMicros, whose negative branch deliberately falls back to four decimals instead of refusing. Quantifier dropped, observation kept. DOC-MISATTRIBUTION (1) — inserting By/Series between UngroupedCostMicros' doc block and its field left two paragraphs reading as godoc for By. Moved them back; no rewrite. UNCHECKABLE-CLAIM (1) — "4 runs in 20" deleted at all three sites. It measured a map-taking draft that was never in this tree: the pane's old sortAgentRows took a []agentRow. A scoped version of the claim was drafted and discarded once that was checked, because it would have asserted a map-based predecessor that never existed. The mechanism it illustrated survives on its own. Mutation gate: 19 mutants, 19 killed, 0 survived, 0 inert. M5/M15/M17 flipped SURVIVED -> KILLED, which is this round's assertions proven failable against the exact production lines they guard. M19 appended for the one property the round asserts that no existing mutant reached: the served-but-empty note being worded differently from a downgrade. The other 15 were re-run and all still kill. Size: 7 files, set unchanged; prod +228 -> +231, test +419 -> +507. Added lines are 45% comment, under this tree's norm. gofmt clean, go vet clean, go mod tidy -diff clean in both modules.

Rather than re-derive the reasoning in the PR body, I tried to break the two headline guards. Both hold.
Mutation-tested the two load-bearing guards
1. The unpriced-vs-zero rule is genuinely load-bearing. I made the exact swap the PR says a weaker test would let through — if c.PricedRequests > 0 → if c.CostMicros > 0:
--- FAIL: TestRunCost_ByRendersUnpricedAsADashNotZero
freerate/1.0 (priced at a rate of zero: a real figure, not an unknown):
row does not carry "$0.00":
freerate/1.0 2 0 —
The freerate/1.0 fixture is doing exactly the work its comment claims: it is the only row whose cell differs between the two readings, so without it the stated rule would hold by accident.
2. The slice-not-map signature delivers what it promises. I mutated the tie-break to return false and ran the test 30 times:
30 FAIL
100% detection. The PR reports that the old map-fed version caught deletion only "4 of 20 runs with two tied labels" — so moving the rule into core behind a slice parameter took this guard from roughly 20% to 100%. That is the strongest result here, because it validates the design argument and not just the code.
3. The deferred rounding claim is accurate. Checked 1_005_000 micros both ways:
costUSD float path: $1.00
integer path: $1.01
Exactly as stated — a self-reported defect, correctly characterised, with a sound reason for deferring (package main has no integer money formatter yet, and the sites this PR adds share the shape with sites that predate it).
Claims checked against origin/main
ParseGroup's accepted set is{none, model, method, endpoint, session, agent, status, plugin, host}, socostByAxesomittingmethodis real — and already on the deferred list.Reconcilable()returns false for exactlyGroupNoneandGroupPlugin, confirming the--by pluginthird-meaning issue the PR discloses.ledger.Groupableis{model, method, endpoint, agent}— four axes, whileledgerServedAxesnames three. The constant's own comment anticipates this ("kept general rather than exhaustive so it degrades into vagueness rather than into a lie"), and sincemethodis an undocumented alias formodel, leaving it out of operator-facing prose is defensible rather than a defect.- No false downgrade on
--by method. I went looking for this one specifically:sessionapidoesapplied := groupand rewrites toGroupNoneonly when!ledger.Groupable(group). Sincemethodis groupable, the server echoes"method",snap.Group == requestedholds, andreportDowngradecorrectly stays silent. The bug isn't there. --by/--agentcontrol flow is clean. Mutual exclusion is enforced before the request is built, soscopeToAgentruns only on the--agentpath andwriteCostBreakdownonly on--by. No interaction between the narrowing and the breakdown.
Build and test
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build ./... clean in core; core/cost/usage green; all cost, sort and TUI tests green. One unrelated failure on my machine — TestServiceManagerUsable_Linux dies on Error opening /private/var/select/sh: Operation not permitted, which is my sandbox blocking the fake-systemctl script the test writes. It touches nothing this PR changes.
Nit
Six of the eight commit subjects run 80–88 characters, over the conventional 72. verify-pr-title passes and CONTRIBUTING states no length limit, so this is informational — not worth a re-push on its own.
On the deferred list
Seven items, each with a reason for deferring rather than a promise to look later. I checked three and all three were accurate, including one that is a genuine display defect in code this PR touches. Worth saying plainly: a PR that ships a known rounding bug and names it precisely is easier to review and safer to merge than one that ships it silently. The Issue: to file markers should become real issues before they drop off the radar.
abctl's usage pane is about to scope itself to one agent, and the narrowing it needs already existed — as scopeToAgent in cmd/abctl, package main, which no other package can import. Same situation rossoctl#1152 resolved for the series ranking: two surfaces answering one question, so the answer moves to core and both call it. It also has to do more than the CLI needed. scopeToAgent rewrote Totals and left Buckets alone, which is right for a command that prints window totals and wrong for a pane that renders a chart from the buckets themselves — narrowing only the totals would title a whole-window chart with one agent's name. So the mode is a parameter: KeepBuckets is the old behavior, NarrowBuckets additionally rewrites each bucket to that agent's share of it. Neither value is a safe default, hence no zero-argument form. Two things NarrowBuckets cannot carry across, both documented at the narrowing: Series is dropped, because a renderer that found it there would stack every agent back on top of the scoped one; and latency is ZEROED, because Series is map[string]Counts and Counts holds no latency, so a bucket's LatMeanMs describes every agent that shared it. A caller offering a latency view has to say it is unavailable under a scope — there is no per-agent latency on the wire to offer instead. Buckets the agent is idle in survive as zero buckets at their original timestamps, since the chart reads Buckets positionally. `abctl cost` keeps byte-identical behavior: it passes KeepBuckets, the mode that changes nothing, and on its scoped path it reads only window totals. An earlier revision of this message justified that by enumerating the readers of snap.Buckets and got the enumeration wrong — seriesForBreakdown reads them too, and is called on the --agent path, though it returns nil there before reaching the read. The conclusion held; the stated reason did not. Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <haih@us.ibm.com> Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Hai Huang <huang195@gmail.com>

Summary
Adds
abctl cost --by AXIS: a row per label instead of one total.An unpriced row shows
—, never$0.00, keyed onPricedRequestsrather thanCostMicrosso a genuine zero-rate charge stays distinguishable from a figure nothing could produce. That
is the column's main job today: Bob bills in credits, which the cost model cannot represent, so
every Bob row is unpriced and
$0.00would assert its traffic was free.The axis set is wider than what every window serves, on purpose
A ledger-backed window (
today,month,7d) breaks down by agent, model and endpoint. Aduration window, served from the in-memory ring, answers session, status, plugin and host too.
Rejecting those client-side would refuse a question the proxy can answer, so
--byacceptseverything
usage.ParseGroupdoes.Where a window cannot serve the axis, the server downgrades rather than refusing —
core/sessionapireports the grouping in effect instead of a 400, which its own commentargues for and which this does not try to undo from the client. So the duty on this side is to
notice: the printed table compares what it asked for against
Snapshot.Group, says what theserver answered with instead, and names the axes that do work. Without that it would print an
ungrouped total under a heading claiming a breakdown.
--jsoncarries no such disclosure — seethe deferred list.
--byand--agentare refused together rather than resolved by precedence. One asks for everylabel, the other for one; letting either win silently would answer a question nobody asked, and
which one won would be an implementation detail.
The residual disclosure reaches its original case
cmd_cost.gohas carried a comment predicting this since before either flag existed — "a tablesumming to less than the headline above it with nothing to explain the difference". The note now
sits under the table, where the shortfall is visible.
costJSONgainsbyandseriesbesidethe
ungroupedCostMicrosthat #1150 added; all three appear only when a breakdown was asked for,so the field's absence keeps meaning "no breakdown was requested" rather than "the breakdown
reconciled".
One definition of the ranking
usage.SortSeriesLabelsreplaces the comparison the AGENTS pane carried, so the CLI table andthe pane agree on what "first" means and where a tie lands. It takes a slice, not the map,
and that signature is the reason the rule is testable at all: ranking straight out of a map takes
the tie order from Go's randomised walk, and
sort.Sliceis unstable, so the tied block ispermuted by the sort itself — a test for the tie-break then only catches its deletion when the
random order happens to be wrong.
The tie-break earns that attention: every unpriced series has
CostMicros0, so until billingunits land the label is the entire order for all of them.
Testing
The
env -uis not incidental:TestRunExec_*inherits a realSSL_CERT_FILEfrom thedeveloper's shell and fails on it. Unrelated to this change.
Each guard added here was checked by breaking the line it protects and confirming the guard
goes red. Where that could not be made to happen the guard is not counted as one.
Deferred, with reasons
Real, and not in this PR:
costUSD(float64(micros)/1e6), which is the spellingagents_pane.go's own comment forbids — it rounds on the float, so1_005_000micros renders$1.00whereformatUSDTotalMicrosgives$1.01. Deferred because packagemainhas nointeger money formatter at all: the sites this PR adds share the shape with sites that predate
it, and fixing it properly means adding one formatter and moving every site to it.
Issue: to file.
--by plugingivesungroupedCostMicros' absence a third meaning.pluginis an acceptedaxis and is not
Reconcilable, so on that axis absence means "not reconcilable" rather than "nobreakdown was asked for". The field's documented contract is two-state. Deferred because the fix
is a decision about what
--by pluginshould promise, not a defect in the plumbing.Issue: to file.
CostMicrosrenders$-5.00in the table — and the AGENTS pane'sagentCostCellrenders$-5.0000for the same input, so the table is not alone in this. Itcalls
formatUSDTotalMicros, whose negative branch deliberately falls back to four decimalsinstead of refusing — "naming it … stays the caller's job" — and the pane never names it.
Deferred because it adds a guard on a path no producer currently drives, and the pane's half is
not this PR's to fix. Issue: to file.
--jsonsays nothing when the server downgrades the axis. The printed table compares therequested axis against
Snapshot.Groupand reports the mismatch;costJSONserialisesby(what was asked for) and omits
series, with no field naming the axis actually served — so ascript cannot tell a refused axis from an empty one. Deferred because the fix adds a serialised
field to a document scripts already consume, and which of
costJSON's absence conventions itshould follow is a decision rather than a patch. Issue: to file.
rankSeriesByCostinspend_drawer.gois still a third copy of the cost-desc/label-asc rulethat
usage.SortSeriesLabelsnow owns. Deferred as an adjacent refactor. Issue: to file.surfaces" claim covers the glyph, not the width. Issue: to file.
