Why

Antigravity's local SQLite metadata records prompt context size and model name. It does not record cache reads or output counts. Inferring cache hits understated cost.

Scope

parseAntigravityFile in src/lib/rollout.js bills SQLite context growth as input_tokens, leaves cached_input_tokens at 0, and resets the snapshot on a model switch. Tests in test/rollout-parser.test.js cover repeated context, model switch, incremental vs full scan, and a legacy estimated cursor.

Tradeoffs

Input from SQLite is still a session-incremental estimate, not per-request billed tokens. That matches the existing Antigravity heuristic. Without a cache counter, a true cold cache mid-session still cannot be distinguished.

Blast radius

Only the Antigravity parser and its tests. Other providers are untouched. The dashboard Estimated tokens notice is unchanged.

Verification

node --test --test-name-pattern 'Antigravity' test/rollout-parser.test.js reported 19 passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Antigravity usage tracking now incorporates metadata from associated conversation databases.
    • Usage data identifies whether values are estimated or derived from stored metadata.
    • Incremental conversations can resume using database-backed progress.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Corrected token counts for repeated context, incremental conversations, and model switches.
    • Prevented cache-hit tokens from being incorrectly inferred or added to total usage.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Antigravity parsing reads protobuf generation metadata from an adjacent SQLite database. It uses model, context-token, and step-index data for token accounting. Incremental parsing persists planner-model and usage-source state.

Changes

Antigravity token parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Metadata decoding and database access
src/lib/rollout.js, test/rollout-parser.test.js
Adds protobuf decoding, database-path resolution, SQLite metadata reading, exported helpers, and metadata fixture tests.
Database-backed parser accounting
src/lib/rollout.js
Restores and persists planner-model and usage-source state. The parser applies SQLite context and model values, resets baselines on model changes, and reconciles estimated and SQLite cursors.
Accounting and resume validation
test/rollout-parser.test.js
Validates full and incremental parity, repeated-context handling, model-switch billing, estimated-to-SQLite reconciliation, sparse metadata, and SQLite cursor resume behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cd451

This change improves Antigravity token tracking from local SQLite metadata, but metadata updates without transcript changes can leave reported usage stale. Resolve this invalidation gap before merging.

Reviewed exact head 16f45d480c83532bdc8baa2a4125e7c70ecb9f3a. The 15 focused Antigravity parser tests pass, but the new accounting cannot be treated as accurate usage yet.

In src/lib/rollout.js, extractAntigravityGenInfo() reads a context-size field, while parseAntigravityFile() invents cached_input_tokens = min(curTokens, previousContextTokens) and charges only the growth as fresh input. A repeated context is not evidence of a cache hit: a cold cache, expiration, a model switch, or changed prefix can bill the entire input. The synthetic SQLite test contains no cache-hit counter, yet it produces 25,000 cached tokens. This would materially understate cost for those cases.

Output and reasoning also still come from antigravityValueTokens(content/thinking), so those remain text-length estimates. Please provide a redacted, counts-only first-party metadata sample/schema establishing per-request input/output/cache counters and the protobuf field meanings, and read those counters directly. Until such fields are available, preserve the existing explicit estimation status without presenting inferred cache savings as measured usage. Add cold-cache/model-switch and incremental-versus-full-scan regressions, including the transition from the existing estimated cursor.

No prompts, responses, credentials, or full databases are needed. Keeping this PR open pending accounting evidence.

gen_metadata records prompt context size and model name, not cache
reads or output counts. Bill context growth as input only, reset on
model switch, and keep Antigravity estimated.

Thanks for the review.
You are right, repeated local context is not evidence of a server cache hit, and output+reasoning is still a text-length estimate.

I checked the local Antigravity databases.

I decoded 1,323 gen_metadata rows across 15 files in ~/.gemini/antigravity/conversations/*.db. Counts and field numbers only. No prompts, responses, or credentials.

Redacted protobuf map under the Field 1 payload:

1.9.10.1  varint   prompt context size
                   present on every row
                   observed range 172 .. 255975
1.9.10.4  varint   model context window
                   present on every row
                   values 128000 or 256000
1.9.10.3  message  rare prompt-section breakdown (15/1323 rows)
                   labels: System Prompt, Tools, Chat Messages
                   per-section sizes only
                   not a billed cache or output counter
1.11      message  timing
                   1.11.2 looks like request duration in microseconds
1.19      string   model id
                   examples: gemini-3.8-flash, claude-sonnet-4-6
1.20      pairs    request_id, last_step_index, model_enum,
                   trajectory_id, used_claude, used_non_gemini_model

Field 1.2 is the planner payload (bot id, response text, a local length). It is not a server usage record. There is no cache-read counter and no billed output or reasoning counter in this schema.

This PR now follows that evidence:

  • 1.9.10.1 supplies the prompt context size for input deltas.
  • 1.19 supplies the model name.
  • cached_input_tokens stays 0.
  • Output and reasoning stay transcript text-length estimates.
  • The existing Estimated tokens notice stays.
  • Tests cover repeated context, a model switch, incremental vs full scan, and a legacy estimated cursor.

Pushed in b2b0af11. CodeRabbit's docstring warning matches the existing CommonJS parser style in src/lib/rollout.js. I did not add JSDoc for this change.

Persist usageSource on the file cursor so a conversation DB does not
disable resume on every sync. Only estimated or missing cursors re-walk.

Follow-up in 27cad9d8. The previous patch disabled resume whenever a conversation DB existed, including for sqlite-backed cursors. The file cursor now stores usageSource. Estimated or missing cursors still re-walk once. Later sqlite syncs resume.

Include SQLite metadata state in the unchanged-file check.

unchanged compares only the transcript inode, size, and modification time. If gen_metadata changes while the transcript remains unchanged, this branch skips parseAntigravityFile before it reads the database. The parser then retains estimated tokens and does not retry reconciliation until the transcript changes.

Track the database state in the cursor check, or inspect metadata before this fast path. Add a regression test that inserts database rows without modifying the transcript.

Historical replay now snapshots previousContextTokens, then adds the
planner reply, matching the live path when the next turn has no metadata.

CodeRabbit caught a real bug: when we replay old turns to catch up with the database, we were dropping the previous reply from the next turn’s count. That is fixed, and the tests pass.

The other CodeRabbit notes we are leaving alone. One is “we don’t go back and rewrite old estimates when the database shows up later,” which was already the plan. The docstring warning is just their JSDoc checker. This repo doesn’t use that.
