What

scripts/run-analytics.py covers part 1 of vision step 2c. It reads the Claude Code transcripts and Codex session logs on this machine. For each gate call made in this clone, it keeps one immutable record: duration, session IDs, slots, models, and input, cached, output and reasoning tokens. A value the logs cannot give is stored as unknown, never as zero. The report shows:

  • effort per story, for closed cycles only, attributed through a unique closing provenance line;
  • all other effort as unattributed, with its reason: no story, open, conflicting, no nonce, or no slot;
  • which sources were skipped, and what the report cannot answer. Cost in money is not measured, and the report says why.

The store is <main worktree>/.context/telemetry/gate-calls.jsonl (0700/0600). Records are deleted after 365 days; --keep-days changes that. The store holds numbers and identifiers only, never session text. The tool is repo-local, not shipped.

Run it with: python3 scripts/run-analytics.py [--keep-days N]

scripts/run-analytics.test.sh (31 cases) is now in the quality row, the lint row and CI. AGENTS.md and README.md count it.

Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-10-02-run-analytics-design.md · Plan: docs/superpowers/plans/2026-10-02-run-analytics.md · Story: docs/superpowers/stories/2026-10-02-run-analytics-trace-id-and-retention-story.md (standard / standard / battery+check) · Epic: docs/superpowers/stories/2026-10-02-telemetry-and-review-loop-usefulness-story.md

Review record

  • Gate A spec, cycle bd2vvqjtbn: 10 passes, Majors 17→0. The scope was narrowed after pass 4, with a dated table in the story (f9aae57).
  • Gate A plan, cycle k4fbej5xbt: 5 passes, Majors 22,15,1,1,0 (950d998).
  • Gate B, cycle iu90toe5uk: 3 passes, Minors only (test-coverage gaps, collected).

What no check covers

  • Calls from removed worktrees or other clones are not collected. Run the tool before removing a worktree.
  • Token sums cover the Codex files present at collection time. Calls that share a resumed session get unknown tokens.
  • Collected Minors: the suite lacks a mixed-level multi-story fixture, an empty HOME with a filled store, a per-component token fixture and ID checks in the retention case.
  • Gate calls are read only under mcp__codex__exec and mcp__codex__review; names mapped in .context/codex-gate.tools are not, and the report says so.
  • CI is the first Linux run of this suite.

A repo-local, read-only collector over the Claude Code transcripts and Codex
session logs that already exist. It stores one immutable record per Codex
gate call that ran in this clone — typed numbers and identifiers only, no
session text — in .context/telemetry/ with a 365-day retention. At report
time it attributes effort to a story only through an unambiguous closing
provenance line, and reports all other effort as unattributed. The trace ID
is the story path, which the artifacts already carry.

The story changed during the cycle, each change dated in it: after pass 1
(the credit balance does not move inside a session, so it was dropped) and
after pass 4. Pass 4's change narrowed the scope, decided by Daniel on the
sparring assessment in .context/sparring/: membership by the git common
directory only, attribution by provenance only, unattributed effort kept.
Shared or resumed Codex sessions get unknown tokens rather than an estimate,
after passes 6-9 showed that resumed counters cannot be split per call.

Gate-A spec cycle closed. Pass 10 is clean (0 Blockers, 0 Majors) and comes
after the pass-4 scope change, which cost further passes as §5 requires. Its
Minors are collected for the plan. The committed spec is byte-identical to
the text pass 10 reviewed (sha256
7dd814a826db7f5e8d8ac67b8e01da55ce7d8b45c9ae6b432d328be6b45fcb63).

Docs-only change (docs/**.md): Gate B is N/A per CLAUDE.md §5.

The plan embeds the tested collector, its POSIX-sh suite (31 cases) and
the docs/CI edit script, plus ten rulings where it reads the closed spec
narrowly or settles what the spec left open.

…part 1)

scripts/run-analytics.py reads the Claude Code transcripts and Codex
session logs on this machine and keeps one immutable record per gate
call made in this clone: duration, session IDs, slots, models, and
token values. Values that cannot be measured are stored as unknown. The
records live in <main worktree>/.context/telemetry/gate-calls.jsonl
and are deleted after 365 days. The report attributes effort to a story
only through a unique closing provenance line, and shows everything else
as unattributed, with its reason. It stores numbers and identifiers
only, never session text.

scripts/run-analytics.test.sh (31 cases) joins the quality and lint
rows, CI and the inventories in AGENTS.md and README.md.

Evidence — docs/superpowers/stories/2026-10-02-run-analytics-trace-id-and-retention-story.md
Battery: AGENTS.md quality row, exit 0 at 2087d3a7071d6e8e165357a041b224e7ecd3bf21.
Check (counterfactual): at f9aae57 no collector exists (git ls-tree prints nothing).
Negative controls in the suite: a copy that stores reply text fails the no-text check;
a copy without the membership test stores another repository's call. Suite 31/31 under
sh (in the quality row) and under dash.

cycle iu90toe5uk; floor 3 per {docs/superpowers/stories/2026-10-02-run-analytics-trace-id-and-retention-story.md (level 1)}; hook reminder threshold absent
cycle iu90toe5uk; Gate B (passes 1-3, gpt-6-astra): Findings 3,4,7. Blockers 0,0,0. Majors 0,0,0.

Each logical pass is a spec call plus a quality call against the same
baseSha/headSha pair (950d998.../2087d3a...), summed. The hook saw seven
calls: pass 1's first quality call returned success:false without an
error code, and its single retry is the one recorded.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a local analytics collector that records Codex gate-call data from Claude Code transcripts and reports effort by review cycle and story. It adds regression tests, repository documentation, and CI checks. A separate story document describes broader workflow telemetry requirements.

Changes

Run analytics

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b1c8a

In a narrow conflicting-history case, the report can assign gate-call effort to a story incorrectly. Clarify the closing-commit trace-ID requirement as well; both corrections are bounded.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to b1c8a

The new store retains identifiers and usage measurements locally, with restrictive permissions, repository-membership checks and serialized writes. No material security regression was established in the inspected paths. Remaining uncertainty concerns record identity and crash recovery, rather than expanded service privileges or external exposure.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — Source-read scope is broader than persistent-store scope: the collector scans the invoking account’s transcript root and session metadata before filtering calls for this clone. Persistence is confined to the main worktree, including when invoked from a linked worktree.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Log-supplied working directories must be absolute, exist and resolve to the invoking clone’s Git common directory. This enforces repository selection, not authenticated log provenance. Persistence uses symlink-resistant directory access, a 0700 telemetry directory, a 0600 single-link lock and 0600 newly created store files.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — A nonblocking exclusive lock covers loading, additions, retention and replacement. Existing IDs are not rewritten, malformed persisted records stop collection, and atomic replacement prevents a partially written JSONL file from becoming the committed store. These controls do not establish immediate power-loss durability.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — If retention deletions must survive power loss immediately after a successful run, strengthen the durability contract with a directory fsync after replacement and corresponding recovery validation. This exceeds the currently documented invocation-driven retention guarantee.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

[Medium risk] Adds a new analytics script and test suite to the repository.

The PR appears safe to merge; no outstanding previous findings or new actionable issues remain.

Summary

The PR adds a repo-local collector that stores gate-call duration and token data from local logs, attributes effort to closed story cycles, and reports unattributed effort and measurement limits. It also adds retention, a fixture-based suite, CI wiring, and documentation. Since the previous review, it makes mapped-tool coverage explicit, distinguishes skip reasons when classifying conflicts, and repairs two test assertions.

- Skip records include their reason in record identity, as in
  ledger-metrics.py. Two skips with different reasons now make a cycle
  conflicting instead of confirmed. A new test covers this.
- The report's limits section states that tool names mapped in
  .context/codex-gate.tools are not read.
- The no-text negative control requires the marker in the mutant's
  store, so a crash no longer passes it. A vacuous "prior state" case is
  removed.
- The epic story says which existing records carry the trace ID in the
  closing commit.
