Bound metadata parsing before materializing tk.

The Messages body limit still permits a user_id containing a very large JSON array inside tk. In src/server/request-log-conversation.ts:234, JSON.parse materializes that array synchronously before discarding it. This can block the event loop and exhaust memory, including on native passthrough requests.

Process tk without materializing its contents, and bound the remaining identity before serialization. Preserve support for a large tk with a short session ID.

Review comment at @src/server/request-log-conversation.ts around lines 251 - 252:
Update user_id metadata parsing in request-log-conversation.ts to process tk without materializing its contents, then enforce a size bound on the remaining session identity before serialization. Preserve support for oversized tk values when the extracted session ID is short, including native passthrough requests.

Declining, for these reasons. This restores the parse that dev ran before #8423, and it adds no new class of exposure:

  • src/claude/inbound.ts:605 already runs claudeSessionUserId(raw.metadata.user_id) on every metadata-keyed Messages request at any length to build prompt_cache_key. The claudeNativeSessionId gate at claude-messages.ts:1226 only runs after that.
  • The inbound body limit bounds user_id, and the request body itself is already fully JSON.parsed. Parsing a string from that body costs the same order as the body parse that already happened.
  • Bounding the parse separately would put tk back into the identity for long values. The per-turn key would then change on every turn, which is the cache and routing regression this PR fixes.

A streaming parse that skips tk without materializing it would be a separate hardening change across both call sites. It isn't a regression introduced here.

@vadymhimself Thanks for the explanation. I accept deferring the parser hardening.

One distinction: src/server/claude-messages.ts Line 737 runs before native passthrough at Line 763, so that path does not reach src/claude/inbound.ts Line 605. The outer body parse also leaves user_id as a string; the nested parse materializes an array inside tk. The body limit bounds the input size, but the array can use more memory than its encoded input.

Would you like a follow-up issue for the shared parser hardening?

Learning: In `src/server/claude-messages.ts`, the native Claude-messages route may set the internal Responses `session_id` header from `internalBody.prompt_cache_key` only when `cacheKeySource === "metadata"`. The metadata source is per-session. The shared system-hash fallback is explicitly excluded, so it must not be treated as a Cursor conversation key.

`src/server/request-log-filter.ts` owns the `/api/logs` query filters including `protocolMode`; its single-pass query applies provider, conversation, model, account, protocol mode and status before `tail`, then reports the pre-pagination count alongside the offset/limit page. `src/server/request-log-filter.ts` accepts the full provider/model label shown by `ocx logs` and bare model IDs, including IDs containing slashes. Qualified failover matches bind provider/model from the same attempt; matching occurs before the row cap and pagination.
[Protocol Paths](data-planes/protocol-paths.md) owns its derivation.

Conversation searches in the dashboard, `/api/logs` and `ocx logs filter --conversation` accept `codex://threads/<id>` links up to 512 characters, including query/fragment metadata, trailing slashes and surrounding whitespace. The server matcher in `src/server/request-log-conversation.ts` and its browser mirror in `gui/src/log-conversation-id.ts` try both the extracted single-segment id and the original trimmed query, preserving raw-id and whole-literal-URI digest matching. The prefix is case-insensitive; the id retains its case. Malformed or longer links remain plain queries subject to the existing 4096-character digest-input bound. A pasted Claude Code `metadata.user_id` adds one more candidate, the JSON object without its per-turn `tk` (`claudeSessionUserId`), because the Messages inbound stores the session under that form; any turn's `user_id` therefore finds the whole session, and the raw candidate still matches rows logged before `tk` was stripped. A query over 4096 characters is not parsed, and `conversationIdFromClaudeMetadata` skips a `user_id` over that bound before parsing, while the inbound cache key still drops `tk` at any length. Persistence is unchanged.

A query over 4096 characters is not parsed. `conversationIdFromClaudeMetadata`, like the inbound cache key, drops `tk` at any length before applying that bound, so an oversized `tk` keeps the session id that also gates Claude routing identity. Persistence is unchanged.
Rows may also carry `genStartMs` and `lastOutputMs`, an observed request-relative pair recorded by `src/server/request-log-generation-window.ts` from the Responses and Anthropic SSE taps: the first output item or content block (reasoning included) to the last output delta. They are proxy observation times, not provider-internal token timing, and `src/usage/log.ts` keeps them only as a pair of nonnegative finite values with `lastOutputMs >= genStartMs`. `decodeTokPerSecondResult` in `src/server/management/shared.ts` prefers that window when the pair is valid and otherwise falls back to the post-TTFT window (`durationMs - firstOutputMs`); both keep the one-second minimum, the `ttft_missing` / `decode_window_too_short` unavailable reasons and `estimated: true`, so a short measured window is still an estimate rather than a provider decode benchmark. The end-to-end tok/s column is unchanged, attempts carry no generation window of their own, and the request-history view does not present one. Successful decode DTOs additionally expose `timingBasis: "generation-window" | "legacy-post-visible-output"`, derived at read time only. Logs labels the method “Generation window” or “After visible output” in the list and attempt table and uses “Output rate during generation (est.)” or “Output rate after first visible output (est.)” in request details. Missing or unfamiliar bases show “Timing unknown” and “Output rate (est.; timing method unknown)” in details rather than inferring a method. The detail grid shows a full-width muted caption explaining the method only when the decode rate is available. Both numerators include reported reasoning output tokens, so the two estimates are not directly comparable. Historical JSONL and end-to-end rates are unchanged.
