The Rust CLI now stores managed sessions under ~/.claude/sessions,
records additive session metadata in the canonical JSON transcript,
and exposes a /sessions listing alias alongside ID-or-path resume.
Inactive oversized sessions are compacted automatically so old
transcripts remain resumable without growing unchecked.
Constraint: Session JSON must stay backward-compatible with legacy files that lack metadata
Constraint: Managed sessions must use a single canonical JSON file per session without new dependencies
Rejected: Sidecar metadata/index files | duplicated state and diverged from the requested single-file persistence model
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep CLI policy in the CLI; only add transcript-adjacent metadata to runtime::Session unless another consumer truly needs more
Tested: cargo fmt; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings; cargo test --workspace
Not-tested: Manual interactive REPL smoke test against the live Anthropic API
This upgrades Rust session compaction so summaries carry more than a flat timeline. The compacted state now calls out recent user requests, pending work signals, key files, and the current work focus so resumed sessions retain stronger execution continuity.
The change stays deterministic and local while moving the compact output closer to session-memory style handoff value.
Constraint: Keep compaction local and deterministic rather than introducing API-side summarization
Constraint: Preserve the existing resumable system-summary mechanism and compact command flow
Rejected: Add a full session-memory background extractor now | larger runtime change than needed for this incremental parity pass
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep future compaction enrichments biased toward actionable state transfer, not just verbose recap
Tested: cargo fmt; cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings; cargo test -q
Not-tested: Long real-world sessions with deeply nested tool/result payloads
This adds token and estimated cost reporting to runtime usage tracking and surfaces it in the CLI status and turn output. It also upgrades compaction summaries so users see a clearer resumable summary and token savings after /compact.
The verification path required cleaning existing workspace clippy and test friction in adjacent crates so cargo fmt, cargo clippy -D warnings, and cargo test succeed from the Rust workspace root in this repo state.
Constraint: Keep the change incremental and user-visible without a large CLI rewrite
Constraint: Verification must pass with cargo fmt, cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings, and cargo test
Rejected: Implement a full model-pricing table now | would add more surface area than needed for this first UX slice
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: If pricing becomes model-specific later, keep the current estimate labeling explicit rather than implying exact billing
Tested: cargo fmt; cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings; cargo test -q
Not-tested: Live Anthropic API interaction and real streaming terminal sessions
