feat(observability): account for upstream attempts and retry costs - #1221
Record available usage and provider charges for each dispatched completion attempt, including retries, errors, timeouts, and interrupted streams. Export those records through the native Relay plugin and provide an opt-in ATOF consumer that uses Relay pricing to calculate a known USD subtotal and a nullable complete total.
A failed attempt reporting $0.02 followed by a successful attempt reporting $0.03 yields $0.05. If consumption from the failed attempt is unknown, the known subtotal is $0.03 and the complete total is absent.
Scope
This is Req 3: per-attempt completion accounting. Req 4 decision-model accounting follows in #1225.
The routing observation lifecycle is already on main through #1252. That change attaches observation before routing-stream buffering, returns replay without another observer, records streamed failures once, and sanitizes streamed HTTP error attributes. This PR retains that behavior. Its run.rs delta relative to main only declares the two accounting fields on the existing client-call span.
Green: existing components reused. Yellow: augmented modules. Red: new code.

Three production crates change. Public request/response types, client traits, retry policy, and Relay source remain unchanged. Translation adds the additive response_usage() helper.
Compared with main 8cb13bb60: 23 files, +2,079 / −146 lines.
Accounting boundaries
Build and validate before creating an attempt. Pre-dispatch failures create no physical-attempt record.
Retain one private guard through buffered parsing or stream consumption; finalize once on success, error, timeout, or cancellation. Trailing usage remains observable after model finish.
Merge cumulative snapshots by field rather than adding them. Preserve explicit zero, missing values, and complete / partial / missing usage status.
Preserve finite, nonnegative reported charges, including zero. Body charges take precedence over the supported x-litellm-response-cost header fallback; metadata retains their provenance.
Auxiliary HTTP operations remain diagnostic. Content failures and errors after stream handoff do not gain new retries.
The plugin emits an LLM scope for each completion_attempt. Its logical libsy.client_call parent becomes a custom summary with expected and captured attempt counts and no priceable output. The ATOF example deduplicates scope UUIDs, follows native parentage, excludes summaries/metrics/Relay's outer answer, and prices each attempt with its own model. Non-USD valuations do not enter the USD subtotal or complete total.
The scope profile is explicitly versioned with integer switchyard.accounting.schema_version = 1. It retains the content-free Messages-shaped output supported by Relay's codec, with detailed usage.cost for reported charges. Original uncached input presence is retained separately, so cache-only reports cannot turn missing input into zero; older captures retain their existing fallback. Consumers tolerate additive fields, while incompatible field changes require a new profile version.
Repository pre-commit checks: formatting, workspace Clippy with warnings denied, SPDX and Ruff passed. Optional mypy/pyright hooks reported unavailable tools.
Focused Python consumer tests: 5 passed.
Packaged macOS arm64 plugin with Relay/native SDK 0.10.0: five completion/retry scenarios passed. The process sandbox permits loopback networking and hides ambient system Relay telemetry configuration; no paid provider or external collector was contacted.
Validation describes this branch on main 8cb13bb60; it does not assert generic Relay exporter accounting changes.
The local native fixture covers these five cost cases:
It also checks duplicate delivery, missing records, workflow isolation, and body/header charge precedence. Focused regressions cover streaming errors and cancellation, trailing/cumulative usage, versioned scope compatibility, missing versus zero input with cache usage, and USD currency handling.
After building and packaging the plugin, reproduce native acceptance with:
The complete total and coverage_complete apply to the received, instrumented completion records checked against their summaries. They cannot detect a wholly absent call or establish all-producer workflow coverage. Separate typed decisions remain outside Req 3.
Totals are provided by the opt-in ATOF consumer. This PR does not repair ATIF final_metrics or establish a shared exporter accounting ledger. Unreported provider usage, work after disconnection, process termination, and missing telemetry remain explicit limits. Generic ownership, producer settlement, and consistent exporter integration belong to the planned Relay work.
The change adds per-attempt usage and cost accounting for completion requests. It records attempt outcomes through buffered and streamed responses, projects attempt data into Relay scopes, and adds a Relay example and fixture for summarizing and validating attempt costs.

Layer / File(s)
Summary
Preserve usage from terminal responses crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/*, crates/switchyard-translation/src/lib.rs, crates/switchyard-translation/tests/failure_usage.rs
Usage decoders are exposed for supported wire formats. Failed and incomplete Responses stream events emit available usage before terminal bookkeeping.
Track attempts through request and stream handling crates/libsy-llm-client/src/attempt.rs, crates/libsy-llm-client/src/client.rs, crates/libsy-llm-client/src/{lib.rs,observability.rs,run.rs}, crates/libsy-llm-client/tests/observability.rs
AttemptGuard records attempt metadata, usage, costs, and outcomes across retries and response consumption. Client-call spans record accounting fields, and tests cover upstream errors and retry fallback.
Project accounting into Relay scopes crates/switchyard-nemo-relay-plugin/src/span_capture.rs, crates/switchyard-nemo-relay-plugin/src/attempt_tests.rs
Span projection assigns accounting summaries and completion attempts to scope types and includes model, usage, and cost fields. Tests cover attempt outcomes and projected data.
Summarize and validate attempt costs crates/switchyard-nemo-relay-plugin/examples/attempt_costs.py, crates/switchyard-nemo-relay-plugin/scripts/test_attempt_*.py, crates/switchyard-nemo-relay-plugin/README.md, docs/integrations/nemo_relay.md, docs/internal/req3_attempt_accounting_implementation.md
The example checks workflow coverage and reports known-cost subtotals separately from complete totals. The fixture exercises accounting scenarios, and documentation describes attempt-based cost accounting and its limits.
Attempt cost accounting is largely sound, and the non-USD currency issue has been fixed. Two narrow edge cases remain, in terminal-event detection and in the example summarizer's handling of missing output. Both are quick fixes that can be made before or shortly after merge.

Use the Responses decoder’s event fallback for terminal usage.
If a response.failed JSON event uses event instead of type, the guard records its usage as partial and finishes on StreamError. For an estimated price, the ATOF consumer can then omit the complete total.
