The migration added a CHECK over SLO metric names, but the write path cannot store an out-of-registry metric (closed union + threshold-only patches), so the constraint enforced nothing while demanding a manual DB change. Spec now records what actually shipped: spend-efficiency lens, cost_evidence_coverage, reconciliation_delta_ratio, and the fal price watch semantics.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a Spend efficiency panel showing costs for successful, failed, and cancelled operations, retry costs, operation counts, and cost per successful operation by currency.
    • Added SLO monitoring for cost-evidence coverage and billing reconciliation differences, including low-sample states.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the observability platform specification with spend-efficiency objectives and daily price-change monitoring details.

Two new versioned objectives make silent spend lies pageable:
- cost_evidence_coverage (gte 0.95 / 0.9 / 0.75): the share of operations that
  carry cost evidence. A cockpit total computed from partial evidence now
  breaches an SLO instead of sitting there looking complete.
- reconciliation_delta_ratio (lte 0.15 / 0.25 / 0.5 over 7d): absolute gap
  between provider-billed money and attempt-level estimates as a share of
  billed, over reconciliation periods inside the window. Breaches mean our
  cost evidence no longer describes what providers charge.
Both join incidents under the generic slo:<metric> path; the DB metric CHECK is
extended name-independently and the ratio-bounds CHECK covers the new ratio
metrics. validatePolicy treats *-ratio metrics as ratios.

New projection block spendEfficiency attributes every dollar of cost evidence
to the outcome that consumed it: succeeded cost, wasted cost (failed/expired/
abandoned operations), cancelled cost, and retry tax (attempts numbered 2+
inside succeeded operations), per currency, plus cost per succeeded operation.
The cockpit gains a Spend efficiency panel; stale materialized snapshots are
rejected so caches rebuild.
…LO migration

The 20260928 migration only added a CHECK constraint listing the SLO metric
names, but policy metrics are a closed TS union and the single write path
(updateSignalOpsSloPolicyV1 via /v1/slos) patches thresholds of registry-derived
policies only. An out-of-registry metric cannot be stored through the
application, so the constraint enforced nothing the app can violate while
requiring a manual database change to deploy. Remove it and document the spend
evidence lens, the two spend objectives, and the fal price watch in the
platform spec instead.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

SignalOps snapshots now include spend-efficiency totals by currency and operation outcome, which the live cockpit displays. SLO policies now include cost-evidence coverage and billing reconciliation delta metrics, with corresponding observation logic and incident-test updates. The observability platform specification also documents spend objectives, price monitoring, and policy constraints.

Changes

SignalOps observability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Spend-efficiency projection and display
src/lib/signalops/v1/ops-snapshot.ts, src/lib/signalops/v1/projection-repository.ts, src/components/live-cockpit.tsx, scripts/test-signalops-ops-v1.mjs, scripts/test-live-cockpit-v1.mjs
The snapshot aggregates finite attempt costs by currency and terminal outcome. It counts retry costs from attempt two onward, rounds output amounts to six decimal places, and reports null cost per succeeded operation when none succeeded. The cockpit displays the available totals or an empty state. Tests cover succeeded, failed, and cancelled operations, including a retry.
Cost and reconciliation SLO observations
src/lib/signalops/v1/slo.ts, scripts/test-signalops-incidents-v1.mjs, docs/specs/signalops-observability-platform.md
The SLO registry adds cost-evidence coverage and reconciliation-delta ratio policies. Reconciliation observations include eligible periods after the snapshot range start with positive billed amounts. Tests cover policy evaluations, low-sample snapshots, and incident decisions. The specification describes the spend objectives, daily price watch rules, and policy metric and write constraints.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to baa1d

The new billing-reconciliation objective can report the wrong drift. It may leave out eligible reconciliation periods, and it combines amounts in different currencies. As a result, a real billing mismatch could be hidden or a false breach raised. Fix the observation logic before merging.

Use the reconciliation policy window.

The default reconciliation_delta_ratio policy specifies 10,080 minutes, but this observation uses snapshot.range. When the caller supplies a 24h snapshot, the observation excludes reconciliation periods from the other six days. Pass the policy window into the observation and load evidence for that window.

Evaluate all eligible reconciliation periods.

buildReconciliationBlockV1 limits snapshot.reconciliation.periods to 50 display rows. When a window has more than 50 periods, this loop omits the remaining periods from both the ratio and sampleSize. Calculate the SLO observation from uncapped period evidence, not the display list.

Do not combine billed amounts from different currencies.

These additions pool every period’s billed and delta values into one ratio without checking period.currency. If USD and JPY periods coexist, their numeric amounts determine each other’s weight and can hide a breach. Evaluate drift by currency and period, then define how those results determine the policy status. Based on learnings, monetary amounts from different currencies must not be summed without conversion.
