🟡 Changes recommended
The new tests are platform-dependent as written (and will fail on non-macOS runners), and the JSONL reader currently reads whole files into memory even when resuming from an offset.
Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.
Pull request overview
Adds a new Copilot usage ingestion path for VS Code Copilot Chat requests routed through customendpoint/* models by parsing VS Code workspaceStorage chatSessions files and merging the resulting usage into the existing Copilot sync flow.
Changes:
- Discover VS Code Stable/Insiders/VSCodium
workspaceStorage/*/chatSessions/*.jsonl|*.jsonlocations (with optional override env var). - Parse both JSONL patch logs and legacy JSON snapshots, extracting
promptTokens/completionTokensforcustomendpoint/*modelIds and reconciling updates. - Integrate the new parser into
syncand add unit tests covering discovery + reconciliation.

In `@src/lib/rollout.js`:
- Around line 15092-15097: Update the JSON snapshot change detection around the
rollout parser’s file-state comparison in src/lib/rollout.js (lines 15092-15097)
to detect same-size rewrites within one mtime tick, either by comparing parsed
usage content against stored state or by always re-reading full JSON snapshots.
Adjust test/rollout-parser.test.js (lines 6361-6376) so the second write changes
byte length or explicitly advances mtime before asserting reconciled totals;
both sites require changes.
- Around line 15109-15112: Update the catch block in the file-state
reconciliation flow to delete the corresponding fileStates entry only when the
stat failure has code ENOENT; preserve the entry for all other errors, while
retaining the existing fileErrors increment and continue behavior.
- Around line 14934-14936: Update extractVsCodeCopilotUsage so promptTokens is
validated and normalized against provider billing before assigning it to
input_tokens; separate any cached portion into cached_input_tokens instead of
always recording cached_input_tokens as zero. Preserve the existing non-negative
integer validation and null result when total usage is non-positive.
In `@test/rollout-parser.test.js`:
- Around line 6216-6237: Update the discovery test setup around
resolveVsCodeCopilotChatSessionPaths to construct the temporary stable and
Insiders paths using the current platform’s base directory, and provide matching
HOME, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, or APPDATA environment variables. Ensure the resolver
cannot read real user configuration directories while preserving coverage for
both Code variants.

I re-reviewed the exact current head f76cc09bd7b9c7805429dfb1ca361ff8cbc9dcc6. The platform-test fix is present, but these accounting and state-safety blockers remain:
extractVsCodeCopilotUsage()classifies everypromptTokensvalue as uncached input and sets cached input to zero without provider evidence. That can materially overstate cost; please preserve only semantics proven by the source (or leave the split unknown) and add billing regression coverage.- Snapshot change detection relies on size/mtime, so a same-size rewrite within the filesystem timestamp granularity can be skipped. Use a durable content/version identity or a conservative rescan path.
- Deleted or moved chat-session entries remain in the cursor indefinitely. Prune confirmed missing files while retaining state for transient read errors.
- The cursor persists full request arrays, and incremental JSONL reads still load the whole file. Please bound persisted state and memory use to the overlap/identity data required for deduplication.
Please push a new head with focused tests for billing semantics, same-size rewrites, deletion pruning, and bounded growth.

VS Code chat session JSONL patch "kind": 1 "requests" whole request replacement non-tail index
💡 Result:
In the context of VS Code's chat session persistence, the .jsonl file format uses an append-only operation log to store session state instead of a single monolithic JSON blob [1][2]. When analyzing the structure of these .jsonl files, a log entry with kind: 1 corresponds to a "set at path" operation, which effectively performs a "whole request replacement" at the specified target [3][2]. In this operation schema, the k property defines the path (key) to be updated, and the v property contains the new value for that path [1][3]. Regarding the "non-tail index" terminology, it refers to the path addressing mechanism used within these operations [3][2]. Because the session is represented as a structured object, the k (key) field often contains an array of path segments that point to the exact location of the data being updated or replaced [1][3]. A "non-tail index" indicates that the operation is targeting a specific node within the deeper structure of the session object, rather than merely appending to the end (tail) of an array [3][2]. Operations like kind: 2 are typically used for appending items to an array (tail operations), whereas kind: 1 allows for precise, targeted replacement at any depth in the JSON tree [3][2]. Essentially: - Kind 0: Initializes the root object [3][2]. - Kind 1: Sets/replaces a value at a specific path (k = path, v = value) [3][2]. - Kind 2: Appends an item to an array at a specific path [3][2].

site:github.com/microsoft/vscode "kind: 1" "requests" chat session JSONL
💡 Result:
The term "kind: 1" in the context of JSONL chat session files refers to incremental update records used by Visual Studio Code's Copilot Chat system [1][2][3]. In this architecture, chat session history is stored in JSONL files where different "kind" values designate specific types of entries [2][3]: - kind: 0: Represents the initial session state or snapshot, containing essential metadata such as the session ID, creation date, and the full list of requests and responses [2][3]. A valid session file must start with this entry [1][3]. - kind: 1: Represents incremental updates to the session state [2][3]. These entries store key-value pairs that track ongoing changes, such as UI state, custom titles, input state (e.g., current text, selections, attachments), or other metadata that evolves throughout the conversation [1][2][3]. - kind: 2: Typically used to record specific incremental request/response data [2]. Note that "startup kind: 1" is also an entirely different diagnostic log message in VS Code referring to the application's lifecycle status (indicating an initial startup), which is unrelated to the chat session JSONL structure [4][5][6].

Retain usage fingerprints for evicted request keys.
If a kind: 1 patch targets ["requests", <index>] after that index leaves the 256-entry overlap, notifyVsCodeCopilotRequestChange finds no previous request. reconcileVsCodeCopilotRequestUsage then adds the replacement usage without subtracting the prior contribution. Persist a compact fingerprint keyed by vsCodeCopilotRequestKey and use it when previousByKey has no entry.

VS Code chat session JSON file prune old requests history limit
💡 Result:
Visual Studio Code automatically manages and prunes old chat session history through its internal ChatSessionStore component [1][2]. How pruning works: - Automatic Limit: VS Code enforces a limit on the number of persisted chat sessions [1][3]. Historically, this has been a hard-coded cap (often 50 or 400, depending on the version and implementation) [1][2][3]. - Pruning Logic: When the number of stored sessions exceeds this limit, the ChatSessionStore sorts existing sessions by their lastMessageDate and removes the oldest ones [1][2]. This trimming process generally occurs when VS Code closes or initializes [4][5]. - Configuration: As of recent developments, there have been active efforts to make this maximum limit user-configurable (e.g., via a setting like chat.session.maxPersistedSessions) rather than relying on a hard-coded constant [1][4]. Storage Location: - Workspace-Specific: Chat sessions are typically stored as .jsonl files within the workspaceStorage directory of your VS Code user data folder [6][7]. - Directory Path: The specific path varies by operating system, typically following a structure similar to: {UserDataRoot}/User/workspaceStorage/{WorkspaceHash}/transcripts/ (or chatSessions/ in older versions) [8][6][9]. Important Considerations: - No Direct API: Currently, there is no official extension API for users to programmatically delete or prune chat sessions; they are intended to be managed by the VS Code core [3]. - Manual Deletion: While you can manually delete files from the transcripts or chatSessions directory, VS Code does not always perform "self-healing" to clean up associated index entries, which can lead to orphaned entries [3]. It is generally recommended to rely on the built-in automatic cleanup [5].

💡 Result:
In the context of the VS Code Copilot Chat architecture, promptTokens, completionTokens, snapshot, and prune refer to mechanisms for managing LLM interaction, token usage tracking, and conversation context optimization [1][2][3][4][5]. PromptTokens and CompletionTokens These terms represent metrics tracked and reported during chat requests to monitor model usage and billing [1][3][6]. - Usage Reporting: During a chat request, the system tracks promptTokens (input) and completionTokens (output) [1][7]. This data is often reported via usage events within the chat stream [1][7]. - Data Structures: These metrics are typically encapsulated in usage objects (IChatUsage) within the VS Code workbench and chat service, which may also include metadata like promptTokenDetails (e.g., cached tokens) and Copilot credits [3][6]. - Limitations: In some third-party or legacy integration scenarios, these fields may default to zero if the underlying provider does not explicitly return them, necessitating estimation or API updates to accurately reflect usage [8]. Snapshot and Prune These terms relate to the management of chat context and conversation history [4][5]. - Prune (Context Optimization): Pruning is a mechanism to fit conversation history within the model's token budget [5][9]. When an intent declares more messages than the budget allows, the system prunes messages—typically those with the lowest priority—before sending them to the API [5]. "Selective turn pruning" has also been proposed/discussed for user-facing features, allowing specific turns to be excluded from future requests while remaining in the visual history [4]. - Snapshot (State Management): Snapshots refer to capturing the state of a chat session at a specific point in time [4]. These checkpoints allow users to restore session states, which is useful for managing complex, long-running conversations [4]. Legacy Sessions The term "legacy" in this context often refers to older methods of handling chat sessions or requests that may lack the refined token-tracking, component-based prompting, or structured state management of modern VS Code chat implementations [1][5]. Modern implementations increasingly use structured prompting (e.g., TSX-based prompt components) that allow for more sophisticated budget management and dynamic composition compared to legacy string-concatenation methods [5].

Do not subtract vanished snapshot buckets.
When a compacted or partial .json snapshot omits a previously counted bucket, reconcileVsCodeCopilotSnapshotTotals subtracts that bucket because it iterates over the union of previous and current keys. This retracts historical usage, unlike reconcileVsCodeCopilotRequestUsage. Reconcile a previous aggregate only when the current aggregate exists, then add the current totals.
🛡️ Proposed guard against retracting vanished buckets

reconcileVsCodeCopilotSnapshotTotals so previous buckets are subtracted only
when a corresponding current aggregate exists; do not process vanished
previous-only keys from the union. Preserve the existing sameVsCodeCopilotTotals
check, then reconcile the previous aggregate and add current totals for present
current buckets, matching reconcileVsCodeCopilotRequestUsage behavior.

Problem
VS Code Copilot Chat requests routed through a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint can be persisted only in VS Code workspaceStorage chatSessions files. They do not necessarily emit Copilot OTEL or session-store records, so TokenTracker currently shows zero usage for these requests.
Root cause
The existing Copilot readers cover the Copilot runtime sources, but do not scan the VS Code Chat session files that contain the request model and token usage.
What changed
Scope
This targets VS Code Copilot Chat custom endpoint usage. It is backend-independent when VS Code persists the standard session schema, but it does not replace server-side billing data or cover remote/custom VS Code storage locations automatically.
