Overview

dsh-session-stats

Source-level overviewFunction plugin registering the sessionStats projection unit: whole-log conversation figures — turn/step counts and the LLM, tool, first-token, and decode wall times — folded from step boundaries, stream chunks, tool pairs, and assembled assistant messages, and served through the session-projection seam (registry snapshot, change feed, and every projection carrier: history tail page, session/projection push frames, session list rows). Clients render full-session figures that paging and compaction cannot change; the reference consumer is the web chat stats strip, whose window fold mirrors these field names as its no-unit fallback.Read the full technical overviewCollapse technical overview

Function plugin registering the sessionStats projection unit: whole-log conversation figures — turn/step counts and the LLM, tool, first-token, and decode wall times — folded from step boundaries, stream chunks, tool pairs, and assembled assistant messages, and served through the session-projection seam (registry snapshot, change feed, and every projection carrier: history tail page, session/projection push frames, session list rows). Clients render full-session figures that paging and compaction cannot change; the reference consumer is the web chat stats strip, whose window fold mirrors these field names as its no-unit fallback.

Fold semantics

  • steps counts step/end events. The agent loop appends exactly one per entered step, in a finally, so completed, failed, cancelled, and max-tokens steps all count. Counting assembled assistant messages instead would overcount max-tokens usage-host messages (empty content, excluded from the surface) and undercount cancelled steps (aborted before the message assembles).
  • turns counts distinct turns carrying at least one closed step; rejected or empty turns (closed with no step) are uncounted. Turn numbers are host-assigned and monotonic per session, so the fold keeps only the last counted turn.
  • llmMs sums step/startassistant/message per step that assembled a message (retry waits inside the step are model time, as in the window fold).
  • ttftMs/ttftSteps sum and count step/start → first non-empty delta chunk; the first attempt's boundary survives an in-step llm/retry (window resetForRetry parity).
  • decodeMs/decodeTokens sum first token → assembled message and the provider-reported output tokens, only over steps carrying both.
  • toolMs sums tool/calltool/result pairs matched by callId; unresolved calls are dropped at turn/end (results land within their turn).
  • Every field is 0 until its first contributing event. A composed registry always serves the key, so clients read the value, never key presence.

Composition

- id: session-stats
  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-session-stats'

Injects sessionProjections — the plugin's whole purpose; in assemblies without the registry the fiber stays pending and nothing registers.

Model Experience

None, as the plugin only computes a client-facing read model of already-logged session events and touches no prompt, message, schema, stream, or tool result.

KV Cache effect

None; the plugin never assembles or sends provider requests.

Known Limitations and Deferred Work

  • Steps count work attempted, not visible output — a step that failed before producing any visible content still closed with step/end and counts; a step interrupted by a crash counts after the session reloads, when crash recovery appends its synthetic step/end (interruptedTurnClosers in dsh-session).
  • A cancelled step is counted but untimed — no assistant message assembles, so its partial stream time enters no wall-time figure, matching the window fold's untimed interrupted node; a max-tokens usage-host message conversely contributes model time the surface does not show.
  • Counts are log-scoped, not surface-scoped — steps whose messages were later compacted away stay counted; the figures describe the whole session, not the current model-visible surface.
  • Mounted only in the web-app bundle — other assemblies serve no sessionStats key, and their consumers fall back to window-scoped counting (the web stats strip's fallback path).

LIMITATIONS

Known limitations

- **Steps count work attempted, not visible output** — a step that failed before producing any visible content still closed with `step/end` and counts; a step interrupted by a crash counts after the session reloads, when crash recovery appends its synthetic `step/end` (`interruptedTurnClosers` in dsh-session). - **A cancelled step is counted but untimed** — no assistant message assembles, so its partial stream time enters no wall-time figure, matching the window fold's untimed interrupted node; a max-tokens usage-host message conversely contributes model time the surface does not show. - **Counts are log-scoped, not surface-scoped** — steps whose messages were later compacted away stay counted; the figures describe the whole session, not the current model-visible surface. - **Mounted only in the web-app bundle** — other assemblies serve no `sessionStats` key, and their consumers fall back to window-scoped counting (the web stats strip's fallback path).
