Three defects that all showed up as "the dashboard's numbers are wrong", plus
the notification and brand work asked for alongside them.
Tokens: Claude Code writes ONE JSONL line per content block of an assistant
message, and every one of those lines repeats the same message-level `usage`.
Both parsers summed them, so a tool-heavy session's tokens — and its cost — ran
1.5-2x high (one 4h session: $45.82 stored against $27.72 real). `lastUsageMsgId`
counts a message once, carried across the transcript cache's incremental chunk
boundaries. `replaceTokenUsage`'s high-water baselines mean the fixed parser
cannot correct what is already stored, so `setTokenUsage` (exact, baselines
cleared) is added for the deliberate re-parse path and `reconcileTokens` now
covers every session with a transcript on disk rather than imported ones only.
Turns: every `TurnDuration` row was stamped NOW while its dedup guard matched on
the transcript's timestamp, so each hook re-inserted the session's whole turn
history — 587k rows, 75% of a real events table, one session holding 68,747
copies of the same turns. The row now carries the transcript timestamp, which
fixes the guard and the feed's ordering together. Same class of bug in the
session metadata: `thinking_blocks` / `turn_count` / `total_turn_duration_ms`
are assigned from the full parse instead of `+=`, since `extract()` returns
whole-transcript totals on every call.
Events: leftover checkout hook entries in `~/.claude/settings.json` double every
event, every subagent row and every token figure. `stripLegacyHooks` has always
removed them — but only inside `bootstrap()`, which `fastPathOk` skips on
exactly the healthy installs where nothing else forces a full pass, so they
survived indefinitely. `hasLegacyHooks` (pure fs) now blocks the fast path.
A one-time repair at the first start after upgrading (`user_version` 3) deletes
the duplicated `TurnDuration` rows and re-parses every transcript with exact
writes. Marker 3 and not 2: an install that ran the earlier pass had its
corrected rows re-inflated by whatever old build was still ingesting hooks.
Router: switching a lane's AI Router while a pane is live only half-applies —
Claude Code re-applies `env` to a running session but keeps the model it
resolved at startup, so the old router's model name reaches the new endpoint and
the next prompt fails with "model not found". The apply route reports
`restart_required` / `run_id`, and the picker offers a Restart that respawns the
pane from the lane id alone (replaying the old `--model` would re-create the
mismatch).
Notifications (#29): the two moments Claude is BLOCKED on the user now have
their own switches and default to on — `onAwaitingInput` (a permission prompt or
a question) and `onTurnComplete` (end of turn). Before, the first was unswitchable
and the second hung off a preference that defaults to off, so the one thing a
user walks away from went unannounced. Prefs shape/defaults/storage move to
`client/src/lib/notifPrefs.ts`; Settings and the hook had private copies.
Brand: the sidebar shows the SmartGift wordmark with the AgentHub caption under
it, the collapsed rail shows the mark, and the favicon is vendored to match.
Two leftovers from the rebrand, done together because they touch the same
docs and manifests.
**Data directory.** `agent-dashboard` could not simply be renamed in the
source: it names a real directory holding the live SQLite database. Startup
now moves it once, via `migrateLegacyDataDir()` in `server/lib/claude-home.js`
— a same-filesystem rename, so it is instant even at multiple gigabytes and
cannot leave two divergent copies. `getDataDir()` stays PURE and resolves to
the legacy path until the move happens; the first version of this put the
rename inside the getter, which meant `npm run test:server` relocated the
developer's real database as a side effect. The call sits behind
`require.main === module` and ahead of the router requires, because those pull
in db.js, which opens SQLite at module load. A failed rename is silent and the
old directory keeps being used: an unfashionable directory name beats a blank
database beside an unreachable one. Same treatment for the port-discovery file
(`.agent-dashboard.json` → `.agenthub.json`, old one dropped on write).
Not renamed on purpose: the Sagi localStorage keys (renaming silently resets
everyone's prefs) and the PWA manifest `id` (changing it orphans an installed
app).
**MCP server.** 4 tool calls in 46 days across 577,132 events, against 4,556
lines of TypeScript, a 2 MB committed build artifact, and a pre-commit guard
that had already blocked commits twice. Deleted: `mcp/`, the maintainer skills
and `mcp-reviewer` agent, the build check, `plugins/agenthub/.mcp.json`,
`docs/MCP.md`, 12 npm scripts, 5 Makefile targets, and every doc section
describing it.
Kept, because they are unrelated things sharing the name: the Config
Explorer's MCP tab and its API, per-lane Playwright MCP, the agenthub-config
plugin's MCP audit, and the historical `mcp__plugin_agenthub_*` events that
analytics must keep attributing.
Verified: server 1432/1432, client 459/459, tsc clean, prettier clean. Both
directions of the migration proven — a sandbox-HOME test run leaves the legacy
directory untouched, and a real boot moves it with its contents intact.
Internal SmartGift build of a Claude Code monitoring dashboard.
Lanes: a durable unit of parallel agent work, one per working directory,
tracked across session restarts. Managed lanes are git worktrees the
dashboard provisions and can reset or remove behind a three-check destroy
guard and a counted preflight; adopted lanes are directories you already
own and are never destroyable.
Pipelines: a lane moves through pipeline stages. A stage the agent declares
with evidence renders green; a stage inferred from the tool-event stream
renders dashed amber and never counts as done. Detection is forward-only
within a 30-minute window, and never writes the declared stage.
Workspace: one page at /run with a lane grid, the selected lane's pipeline,
and a full Claude console behind a disclosure.
