DO NOT MERGE feat(relay): export decision usage and workflow attribution - #1225
This is an ordinary PR targeting NVIDIA-NeMo/Switchyard:main, managed as a manual stack. GitHub's UI-enabled stacked-PR feature is not used.
Dependency order: main ← #1221 (Req 3) ← this PR (Req 4).
What
Export available token usage, reported charges, outcomes, and native workflow association for each typed decision-model invocation. Extend the ATOF cost-summary example to include those records alongside completion attempts.
One invocation produces one libsy.decision_call accounting scope, including when it asks several questions. Explicitly zero-priced decisions retain their usage records; paid decisions contribute their Relay-priced cost. Missing usage, missing pricing, or unproven attribution leaves a known subtotal and an incomplete total.
Manual-stack review and landing
The comparison against main includes the Req 3 dependency. Review that work in #1221, and use the Req 4-only branch comparison for the incremental changes here.
Both branches incorporate current main, including the merged #1252 routing-stream observation fix, through additive merge commits. #1252 owns observation before buffering, replay without a second observer, and single sanitized streamed-error recording. Those lifecycle changes are not new work in this PR.
After #1221 lands, we will manually rebase or cherry-pick the Req 4 changes onto updated main, refresh the comparison and validation, and then land Req 4. The DO NOT MERGE title remains until that dependency is resolved.

Compared with the updated #1221 head 2e751ed84: 12 files, +1,009 / −98 lines. The complete manual-stack diff against main is 25 files, +3,000 / −156 lines.
Two production crates change in the Req 4 increment. Completion attempts delegate usage recording to a shared private helper; their lifecycle and retry behavior remain unchanged. Existing decision transports, recovery policy, and public protocol types are retained.
Accounting source and workflow association
The source is the host libsy.decision_client_call span, projected as libsy.decision_call with accounting unit decision_call. The algorithm-side core span, routing marks, and token metrics remain diagnostic and do not create additional charges. LLM classifier calls using the ordinary completion client remain completion attempts.
The shared recorder preserves normalized token/cache/reasoning detail, available valid provider charges, missing-versus-zero semantics, and complete/partial/missing usage status. The plugin emits a content-free Messages-shaped usage output supported by Relay's existing codec. It preserves safe outcomes without exporting decision questions, context, answers, credentials, or raw provider-error bodies. The versioned scope compatibility profile and original input-presence handling from #1221 remain available.
Native parent UUIDs establish workflow association. A request-local context adds selected session/task/turn/correlation IDs as supplemental metadata; those IDs cannot substitute for native ancestry.
The consumer deduplicates scope UUIDs, prices each record with its own model, and:
Checks completion coverage against Req 3 parent summary counts.
Checks decision records against unique switchyard.routing.decision_call marks, without pricing the marks.
Excludes summaries, metrics, core diagnostic spans, and Relay's outer answer from the combined charge.
Reports decisions without a known workflow ancestor under unattributed_decisions, leaves them unassigned, and withholds a complete total for the supplied event set.
Retains USD-only subtotals and nullable complete totals. Known free decisions require explicit zero prices; a missing price remains unknown.
These checks cover the received instrumented records. They cannot certify the absence of wholly missing work or establish generic all-producer workflow completeness.
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: 9 passed.
Packaged macOS arm64 plugin with Relay/native SDK 0.10.0: completion/retry and decision scenarios, repeated calls, concurrent workflows, and cancellation 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 includes all five Req 3 cost cases and these decision cases:
Scenario
Known USD subtotal
Complete USD total
Answer $0.03 + explicitly zero-priced decision
$0.03
$0.03
Answer $0.03 + decision priced at $0.01
$0.04
$0.04
Two paid decision/answer invocations in one workflow
$0.08
$0.08
Answer known; decision price or usage missing
$0.03

Decision reports $0 with tokens missing + answer $0.03
$0.03
$0.03
Decision provider error
$0
Absent
Two concurrent paid workflows
$0.04 each
$0.04 each
Cancellation during a decision call
$0
Absent
The fixture checks actual request/workflow ancestry, including cancellation and workflows without identity headers. Focused regressions cover both decision providers, multiple questions/invocations, missing records, duplicate delivery, currency handling, usage detail, and error privacy.
After building and packaging the plugin, reproduce native acceptance with:
Consumer checks require Relay without a native bundle:
uv run --with nemo-relay==0.10.0 python \
crates/switchyard-nemo-relay-plugin/scripts/test_attempt_costs.py
Coverage limits
Combined totals are the opt-in ATOF consumer's result. ATIF final_metrics remains unchanged. This PR does not introduce generic contribution ownership, producer settlement, or shared exporter accounting.
Errors without a usable DecisionResponse retain missing usage; failed/invalid decision bodies are not reparsed for hidden charges. Wholly absent telemetry, process termination, and provider work after disconnection remain unreconciled.

feat(relay): export decision usage and workflow attribution (depends on #1221)
DO NOT MERGE feat(relay): export decision usage and workflow attribution
Nov 5, 2026
The pull request adds accounting for completion attempts and typed decision calls. It captures usage, costs, and outcomes in spans, projects those spans into Relay scopes, and adds workflow cost summaries and validation fixtures.
Usage decoders are exposed within the crate, and response_usage dispatches by wire format. Responses streams emit usage from failed and incomplete snapshots before terminal chunks. Missing input or output counts no longer produce an inferred total.
Each completion request attempt retains its guard through buffered decoding or stream consumption. The guard records response metadata, validated usage and cost, and completion, error, or cancellation outcomes. Tests cover retries, failures, partial usage, deadlines, and concurrent calls.
Decision-call context and accounting crates/libsy-llm-client/src/run.rs, crates/libsy-llm-client/tests/observability.rs, crates/switchyard-nemo-relay-plugin/src/decision_tests.rs, docs/internal/req4_decision_accounting_implementation.md
Decision spans record available request identifiers, response metadata, usage, outcome, and error type. Tests cover successful, partial, failed, and cancelled calls, including checks that private request text is not captured.
Relay projects accounting units into scopes and adds model fallbacks, reasoning-token usage, and provider-reported USD cost. The safe-field allowlist includes accounting and request-context fields.
Workflow cost summaries and validation crates/switchyard-nemo-relay-plugin/examples/attempt_costs.py, crates/switchyard-nemo-relay-plugin/scripts/test_attempt_accounting.py, crates/switchyard-nemo-relay-plugin/scripts/test_attempt_costs.py, crates/switchyard-nemo-relay-plugin/README.md, docs/integrations/nemo_relay.md
The example consumer checks workflow attribution and record coverage, then reports known subtotals and a total only when coverage and costs are complete. Unit and Relay fixture tests cover currencies, retries, decisions, duplicate or missing events, and cancellation. The documentation describes the accounting scopes and fixture commands.
The new accounting behavior has no confirmed production defect. The opt-in acceptance fixture fails at import time on Python 3.10, and one internal document still has outdated status text. Both are small fixes to make around merge.

The fixture requires Python 3.11 because it imports tomllib. The project still declares Python 3.10 support.
pyproject.toml declares requires-python >=3.10. tomllib exists only in Python 3.11 and later. On a Python 3.10 interpreter, the documented uv run ... python .../test_attempt_accounting.py command fails at import time. The script uses tomllib only to read the bundle digest at Line 183. Choose one of these fixes:
Add a fallback to tomli.
