Problem

The context count in the session header dipped and then jumped back up during a session.

Cause

The calculation in useContextUsage differed from the OpenCode TUI (packages/tui/src/util/session.ts):

  • Cache write tokens were not counted. The total was input + output + reasoning + cache read. With prompt caching, new context is first reported as a cache write, so it was dropped, then reappeared as a cache read on the next step.
  • The fallback skipped back only one message. When the newest assistant message had no token data, only the immediately previous one was considered, so a step without usage showed 0 or a stale count.

Fix

  • Include cache write tokens in the total.
  • Count the newest assistant message that reports tokens, with the same boundaries as the TUI: ignore messages before the latest completed compaction, ignore messages at or after a revert point (hiding the indicator when the revert message is unknown), and hide the indicator when no message qualifies or the total is zero.

The hook now returns { usage, isLoading } where usage is null when there is nothing to show; the unused currentModel and contextLimit fields were dropped.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates
    • Context usage now reflects the relevant point in the session, including when viewing a reverted conversation.
    • Token totals account for completed compactions and the latest assistant message with available token data.
    • When a usage percentage isn’t available, the indicator shows the token count alone; when there’s no valid usage data, it remains hidden.

The header context count differed from the OpenCode TUI and dipped then jumped
back up mid-session:

- cache write tokens were left out of the total, so context stored as a cache
  write was dropped and then reappeared as a cache read on the next step
- the newest assistant message without token data was skipped only one message
  back, so a step without usage showed 0 or a stale count

The total now includes cache write tokens and the newest assistant message that
reports tokens is counted, matching the TUI: messages before the latest completed
compaction are ignored, messages at or after a revert point are ignored, and the
indicator is hidden when no message qualifies or the total is zero.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The context usage hook now selects token usage within compaction and revert boundaries. The session indicator receives the revert message ID and displays usage only when the hook returns it.

Changes

Context usage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Usage selection and calculation
frontend/src/hooks/useContextUsage.ts, frontend/src/hooks/useContextUsage.test.tsx
The hook selects the latest eligible assistant message after the most recent completed compaction and before the revert boundary. It includes cache read and write tokens, returns null for nonpositive totals or missing eligible messages, and calculates a rounded percentage when a context limit is available. Tests cover these cases and the loading state.
Session usage display
frontend/src/components/session/ContextUsageIndicator.tsx, frontend/src/pages/SessionDetail.tsx
SessionDetail passes the revert message ID to the indicator. The indicator displays token count with an optional percentage, or returns null when usage is unavailable.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 10158

The context usage indicator may be hidden while the thread shows messages if the revert target sits in an older page that has not been loaded. The impact is small and recoverable, so the change is mergeable with owner awareness.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

An unknown revert boundary hides the indicator, but SessionDetail falls back to the full transcript.

applyRevertBoundary in frontend/src/pages/SessionDetail.tsx (Lines 78-86) returns all messages when revertMessageID is not in the loaded transcript. This hook returns usage: null in that case. The transcript is paginated (fetchOlder/hasOlder). If the revert target is in an older page that is not loaded yet, the thread shows messages while the header shows no usage. The two views of the same session then disagree. If hiding is the intended TUI behavior, keep the hook as it is and document it. Otherwise, use the same fallback as applyRevertBoundary.

Possible alignment
-    if (revertMessageID && boundaryIndex === -1) {
-      return { usage: null, isLoading: messagesLoading }
-    }
-
     const end = boundaryIndex === -1 ? messages.length : boundaryIndex

You would also need to update the "unknown boundary" test.
