Problem

VS Code Copilot Chat requests routed through a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint can be persisted only in VS Code workspaceStorage chatSessions files. They do not necessarily emit Copilot OTEL or session-store records, so TokenTracker currently shows zero usage for these requests.

Root cause

The existing Copilot readers cover the Copilot runtime sources, but do not scan the VS Code Chat session files that contain the request model and token usage.

What changed

  • Discover VS Code Stable, Insiders, and VSCodium workspace chat session files on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
  • Parse both append-only JSONL patch logs and legacy JSON snapshots.
  • Read promptTokens and completionTokens for customendpoint/* requests.
  • Track file offsets, inode, mtime, and request IDs for incremental parsing and deduplication.
  • Reconcile updated request totals instead of adding the same request repeatedly.
  • Merge the resulting buckets into the existing Copilot sync and upload flow.
  • Keep official copilot/* requests on the existing Copilot readers to avoid double counting.

Scope

This targets VS Code Copilot Chat custom endpoint usage. It is backend-independent when VS Code persists the standard session schema, but it does not replace server-side billing data or cover remote/custom VS Code storage locations automatically.

Validation

  • node --test test/rollout-parser.test.js
  • 258 tests passed
  • git diff --check passed

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds VS Code Copilot Chat session discovery and incremental parsing. It supports JSONL patch logs and legacy JSON snapshots, tracks file cursors, reconciles usage totals, and integrates results into Copilot sync.

Changes

VS Code Copilot Chat ingestion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Session discovery and replay
src/lib/rollout.js, test/rollout-parser.test.js
The resolver finds .jsonl and .json session files in VS Code workspace storage or an environment override. The parser reconstructs request lists from patch records and snapshots. Tests cover stable and Insiders installations across platforms.
Incremental usage reconciliation
src/lib/rollout.js, test/rollout-parser.test.js
The parser tracks file metadata and reconstructed requests, extracts usage from customendpoint/ models, updates hourly Copilot buckets, excludes official Copilot models, and supports repeated runs without duplicate usage.
Sync integration
src/commands/sync.js
Copilot sync resolves session paths, runs the incremental parser, merges totals, and reports parser errors without aborting sync.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f76cc

Custom-endpoint usage syncing may retain stale cursor data indefinitely and can miss updated snapshot usage in a timing edge case, leading to inaccurate tracked totals. These behaviors should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

🟡 Changes recommended

The new tests are platform-dependent as written (and will fail on non-macOS runners), and the JSONL reader currently reads whole files into memory even when resuming from an offset.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

Adds a new Copilot usage ingestion path for VS Code Copilot Chat requests routed through customendpoint/* models by parsing VS Code workspaceStorage chatSessions files and merging the resulting usage into the existing Copilot sync flow.

Changes:

  • Discover VS Code Stable/Insiders/VSCodium workspaceStorage/*/chatSessions/*.jsonl|*.json locations (with optional override env var).
  • Parse both JSONL patch logs and legacy JSON snapshots, extracting promptTokens/completionTokens for customendpoint/* modelIds and reconciling updates.
  • Integrate the new parser into sync and add unit tests covering discovery + reconciliation.

6300-6300: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the emitted model name, not the raw modelId.

normalizeVsCodeCopilotModel returns the last path segment of the model id. A row for copilot/auto would therefore be emitted with model === "auto", never "copilot/auto". This assertion passes even if the customendpoint/ filter is removed, so it does not protect the no-double-counting invariant.

Assert on the normalized name and on the token totals that the official request would contribute.

Read only the appended tail instead of the whole file.

readVsCodeCopilotJsonlPatches loads the complete file into memory on every sync, then discards everything before safeStart. The byte cursor therefore bounds parsing work but not I/O or memory. A long-lived chat session log grows without bound, and sync walks every tracked file on each run.

Read from the offset directly with a positional read or a stream started at safeStart.

♻️ Proposed positional read
-async function readVsCodeCopilotJsonlPatches(filePath, startOffset, requests) {

Surface fileErrors from the VS Code Copilot parser.

parseVsCodeCopilotChatIncremental swallows per-file read failures and reports the count in fileErrors. mergeParseResult keeps only recordsProcessed, eventsAggregated, and bucketsQueued, so that count is discarded. warnProviderParseFailure fires only when the parser itself throws. If a workspace session file becomes unreadable, the user sees no signal and the missing usage looks like no usage.

Report the count on a non-auto run, in the same style as the Copilot App branch at lines 2625-2627.

VS Code Copilot Chat chatSessions promptTokens completionTokens per request meaning

💡 Result:

In VS Code Copilot Chat, chatSessions refers to the local, persistent log files that store the history of your chat interactions [1][2]. These logs are stored in your machine's local storage (e.g., under workspaceStorage or globalStorage in your VS Code settings directory) and serve as a record of every request made to the AI model [1][2][3]. The fields promptTokens and completionTokens are metadata metrics recorded within these session logs to track exactly how much token-based "traffic" each request consumes [1][2]. They represent the following: promptTokens: This is the total number of tokens sent to the model as input [4][5]. This includes your user prompt, the chat history context, system instructions, and any code or files provided as context [4][5]. In models that support prompt caching, this value typically represents the sum of fresh input tokens, cache reads, and cache writes [4]. completionTokens: This is the total number of tokens generated by the model in its response back to you [4][5]. These tokens are typically considered the most resource-intensive part of the request [4]. These metrics are written to the chatSessions files (often in JSONL format) as a request completes [2]. Recent versions of the VS Code Copilot Chat extension (e.g., v3 session formats) record these as incremental updates (often using kind-1 JSONL markers) that are applied to the initial request state [6][7]. Because these logs are stored locally, they allow users or third-party tools to audit actual token usage per request, which is more granular than the aggregate usage summaries provided in the GitHub billing dashboard [1][2][4][5].

site:github.com/microsoft/vscode promptTokens completionTokens chatSessions

💡 Result:

In the context of the VS Code and GitHub Copilot chat systems, promptTokens, completionTokens, and chatSessions are terms used to track and report LLM usage, cost, and session activity [1][2][3]. 1. promptTokens: Represents the number of tokens sent to the LLM as input (the prompt) [4][5]. This includes the conversation history, system instructions, and any files or context provided to the model [1][6]. 2. completionTokens: Represents the number of tokens generated by the LLM as output (the completion) [4][5]. 3. chatSessions: Refers to the persistent interactive sessions between a user and the AI assistant [1][7]. Recent updates to the VS Code ecosystem have improved tracking for these sessions by emitting usage events (e.g., assistant.usage) that include detailed token breakdown, credit consumption, and session-level cost analysis [2][7][3]. These metrics are plumbed through the chat API (via the usage progress DTO) to the VS Code UI, allowing features like the context-usage widget to display real-time token consumption, session costs, and context breakdown [8][2][3].

Validate promptTokens before recording it as uncached input.

extractVsCodeCopilotUsage stores request.promptTokens entirely in input_tokens and sets cached_input_tokens to 0. VS Code Copilot input includes conversation history and supplied context. If it also includes cached input, aggregation may overstate uncached usage and cost. Compare raw session usage with provider billing and split or normalize cached tokens before release.

JSON snapshot change detection misses a same-size rewrite within the same mtime tick. The .json branch decides to re-read only when format, size, mtimeMs, or ino differ. An in-place rewrite that keeps the byte length and lands in the same filesystem mtime tick satisfies none of these, so the updated token counts are never reconciled. The .jsonl branch already handles the equivalent case through sameSizeRewritten, but that check still requires mtimeMs to change; for snapshots there is no fallback at all.

  • src/lib/rollout.js#L15092-L15097: add a content-level check for the .json branch. Compare a hash of the parsed request usage fields against a hash stored in the previous file state, or always re-read .json snapshots since they are read in full anyway.
  • test/rollout-parser.test.js#L6361-L6376: the second fs.writeFile produces the same byte length as the first, because 500/25 and 600/30 have equal digit counts. The assertion at line 6376 then depends entirely on mtimeMs advancing between two writes that can occur in the same tick. Change one value to a different digit length, or assert the reconciled totals after a forced utimes change, so the test does not encode the detection gap as expected behavior.

Prune cursor entries for session files that no longer exist.

fileStates starts as a copy of previousFiles, and the catch block increments fileErrors and continues without deleting the entry. A deleted or moved chat session therefore keeps its entry in cursors.copilotVsCode.files forever, including the full requests array persisted at line 15089.

VS Code creates one chatSessions file per chat session per workspace, and users delete sessions and workspaces routinely. cursors.json is rewritten on every sync, so this state grows without bound and increases sync cost permanently.

Delete the entry when the stat fails with ENOENT. Keep the entry for other errors, because a transient permission or I/O failure must not discard reconciliation state.

I re-reviewed the exact current head f76cc09bd7b9c7805429dfb1ca361ff8cbc9dcc6. The platform-test fix is present, but these accounting and state-safety blockers remain:

  1. extractVsCodeCopilotUsage() classifies every promptTokens value as uncached input and sets cached input to zero without provider evidence. That can materially overstate cost; please preserve only semantics proven by the source (or leave the split unknown) and add billing regression coverage.
  2. Snapshot change detection relies on size/mtime, so a same-size rewrite within the filesystem timestamp granularity can be skipped. Use a durable content/version identity or a conservative rescan path.
  3. Deleted or moved chat-session entries remain in the cursor indefinitely. Prune confirmed missing files while retaining state for transient read errors.
  4. The cursor persists full request arrays, and incremental JSONL reads still load the whole file. Please bound persisted state and memory use to the overlap/identity data required for deduplication.

Please push a new head with focused tests for billing semantics, same-size rewrites, deletion pruning, and bounded growth.
