fix(costs): disable cost tracking until Claude Code exposes cost data
Cost tracking infrastructure works but has no data source: - Claude Code displays costs in TUI status bar, not scrollback - tmux capture-pane can't see TUI chrome - All sessions show $0.00 Changes: - Mark gt costs command as [DISABLED] with deprecation warnings - Mark costs-digest patrol step as [DISABLED] with skip instructions - Document requirement for Claude Code to expose CLAUDE_SESSION_COST Infrastructure preserved for re-enabling when Claude Code adds support.

**DAILY DIGEST** - Aggregate yesterday's session cost wisps.
|
||||
**⚠️ DISABLED** - Skip this step entirely.
|
||||
|
||||
Session costs are recorded as ephemeral wisps (not exported to JSONL) to avoid
|
||||
log-in-database pollution. This step aggregates them into a permanent daily
|
||||
"Cost Report YYYY-MM-DD" bead for audit purposes.
|
||||
Cost tracking is temporarily disabled because Claude Code does not expose
|
||||
session costs in a way that can be captured programmatically.
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1: Check if digest is needed**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Preview yesterday's costs (dry run)
|
||||
gt costs digest --yesterday --dry-run
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Why disabled:**
|
||||
- The `gt costs` command uses tmux capture-pane to find costs
|
||||
- Claude Code displays costs in the TUI status bar, not in scrollback
|
||||
- All sessions show $0.00 because capture-pane can't see TUI chrome
|
||||
- The infrastructure is sound but has no data source
|
||||
|
||||
If output shows "No session cost wisps found", skip to Step 3.
|
||||
**What we need from Claude Code:**
|
||||
- Stop hook env var (e.g., `$CLAUDE_SESSION_COST`)
|
||||
- Or queryable file/API endpoint
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2: Create the digest**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gt costs digest --yesterday
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Re-enable when:** Claude Code exposes cost data via API or environment.
|
||||
|
||||
This:
|
||||
- Queries all session.ended wisps from yesterday
|
||||
- Creates a single "Cost Report YYYY-MM-DD" bead with aggregated data
|
||||
- Deletes the source wisps
|
||||
See: GH#24, gt-7awfj
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3: Verify**
|
||||
The digest appears in `gt costs --week` queries.
|
||||
Daily digests preserve audit trail without per-session pollution.
|
||||
|
||||
**Timing**: Run once per morning patrol cycle. The --yesterday flag ensures
|
||||
we don't try to digest today's incomplete data.
|
||||
|
||||
**Exit criteria:** Yesterday's costs digested (or no wisps to digest)."""
|
||||
**Exit criteria:** Skip this step - proceed to next."""
