Measured on a copy of a real 1.2 GB / 253K-event database, 10 simulated
browsers + 10 hooks/s for 90 s: event-loop delay p99 1239 ms → 32 ms (max
2.0 s → 94 ms), 266 failed requests → 0, 74 → 111 requests/s served, server
RSS 633 → 346 MB. Entry bundle 975 KB raw → 394 KB (106 KB brotli).
Server
- /api/analytics: the events-table scans run in the read worker
(scoped-stats eventAggregates, read-pool job analyticsEvents); runRead takes
maxAgeMs — analytics 10 s, /api/workflows 30 s — keyed by the args
- /api/workflows/skill-usage: +event_type and a tool_name range instead of
LIKE, so it uses idx_events_tool (784 ms → a few ms)
- idx_events_session_type_tool (session_id, event_type, tool_name,
created_at) replaces idx_events_session_type: covering reads for session
stats, the hook dedupes and the import resume point (1.2 s → 20 ms); 64 MB
cache_size and 256 MB mmap_size on both connections
- WAL: the server sets wal_autocheckpoint = 0 and checkpoints PASSIVE every
DASHBOARD_WAL_CHECKPOINT_MS (5 s) from the read worker's own writable
connection; a failed checkpoint restores the automatic one (hook COMMIT p95
109 ms → 15 ms at 100 hooks/s)
- tmux: one list-sessions answers a whole GET /api/lanes and the heal beat
(liveSessions), shared for 1 s and cleared by this process's new/kill —
GET /api/run's sync spawns had blocked 60 s of a 90 s run; the heal beat
skips tmux when nothing runs; attach options chained into 2 spawns
- hooks: TurnDuration/APIError deduped against one read per hook instead of a
query per transcript entry (23 ms/hook on a 763-turn session); one lane
scan per hook; hourly upserts skip rows that did not grow; frames are sent
after the transaction commits (and after the pane binding); new_event
carries its row id; a split pane's (slot 1–9) hooks no longer rebind the
lane's session_id
- watchdog liveness probe runs ps asynchronously; transcript newline scan via
indexOf; startup subagent backfill fingerprints the files it already checked
- pty attach: backpressure (pause past 1 MB unsent, resume under 256 KB)
- static: hashed assets served from their pre-compressed .br/.gz sibling
Client
- hidden tabs neither refetch on WS events nor poll (useLiveRefresh, panes,
lane cards, git header, changes panel, settings); no per-tab hourly
/updates/check (the server already checks)
- refetch storms throttled (workspace tree/session list 3 s, /api/run only on
a run-key change, notification pane lookup only when shown); WS reconnect
jitter; terminal retry backoff 1.5 → 30 s, stops on 1008
- heavier throttles for aggregates (15 s) and detail views; Monitor keepIfSame;
GET in-flight dedupe in request()
- lazy Dashboard/History, xterm (with the first terminal), lane modals, Sagi
(only while enabled); only the active locale loads; Workspace chunk
prefetched on a /workspace deep link
- Sagi: no work while disabled, pupil via CSS variables, memo avatar
- build: .br/.gz siblings, sourcemap hidden; service worker no longer caches
/assets/ (cache v3 drops the old one)
Tests: scripts/test-server.js drops the GIT_DIR-family variables a hook
exports, so a suite run from a linked worktree's pre-commit can no longer
commit into the real repository or set core.bare.

token_usage holds a session's cumulative totals with no time, so
/api/pricing/cost booked a multi-day session's whole cost to its start
date and the status bar's Today read ~$0. TranscriptCache now also splits
usage by each message's UTC hour (tokensByHour); the hook writer stores it
in the new token_usage_hourly table (MAX per hour) and the server
back-fills existing sessions at start. The daily split books each total
over its hourly rows' local days and the rest to the start date, so the
days still add up to the total.
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.

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.
