Summary

  • Add a versioned, path-free Codex host cost report that can compare the local native Codex history with an explicitly requested SSH host.
  • Keep local and remote summaries separate, with --summary-only producing the bounded JSON contract used by the SSH path.
  • Harden the SSH invocation with strict noninteractive options, a small environment allowlist, host-key verification, and fail-closed validation when history coverage is incomplete.
  • Document the new codexbar cost codex --remote <host> and --summary-only modes.

Validation

  • cargo fmt --all
  • cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml codex_costs --lib
  • cargo test --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml agent_sessions::remote --lib
  • cargo clippy --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • git diff --check

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added codexbar cost --remote to retrieve separate Codex cost reports from a remote host over SSH.
    • Added --summary-only for versioned, path-free JSON cost summaries.
    • Remote reports support text and JSON output, including coverage, incomplete-history, and unavailable-data indicators.
    • Local and remote histories are displayed separately and are never combined.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Added validation for hosts, history ranges, output formats, and unsupported option combinations.
    • Remote failures preserve local results while clearly reporting the remote error.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The cost command now supports separate remote Codex reports over SSH and a versioned summary-only JSON format. The implementation validates hosts, ranges, output, coverage, and summary fields, then renders local and remote results separately.

Changes

Codex cost reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Codex summary contract
rust/src/codex_costs.rs, rust/src/codex_costs/summary_contract.rs
Added versioned, path-free summary types with coverage, provenance, validation, decoding, and construction logic. Added tests for wire format, incomplete coverage, invalid versions, oversized output, and invalid numeric totals.
SSH summary retrieval
rust/src/agent_sessions/remote.rs
Added host and day validation, noninteractive SSH options, disabled forwarding, a 60-second timeout, allowlisted environment handling, bounded output checks, and transport tests.
Cost command integration
rust/src/codex_costs/host_costs.rs, rust/src/cli/cost.rs, docs/CLI.md
Added --remote and --summary-only, validation and routing, local and remote report rendering, failure preservation, documentation, and CLI tests.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 06306

A remote host can make the command consume substantially more memory than the documented response bound, and remote JSON requests produce the wrong format. These issues should be addressed before merge.

Enforce the 16 KiB limit during command capture. fetch_codex_cost_summary passes default CommandOptions and checks result.text.len() only after run_async returns. CommandRunner reads complete lines into String values and sends them through an unbounded channel. A reachable SSH command can therefore queue output faster than the capture loop, or emit one very large line, causing memory growth for up to the 60-second timeout. The existing 1 MiB append limit does not bound these intermediate allocations. Enforce a per-command limit at the shared CommandRunner read boundary, stop or terminate capture when the limit is exceeded, and configure this call with MAX_REMOTE_CODEX_COST_BYTES.

Thermo-Nuclear Review: PR #577 — [0.62.0] Add SSH Codex cost comparison

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES

The security posture is serious and mostly right: host validation reused from the existing canonical RemoteSessionFetcher::validate_host, BatchMode/StrictHostKeyChecking=yes/RemoteCommand=none/no-forwarding flags, an env-allowlisted runner (codex_cost_runner) instead of inherited env, a size-capped versioned wire contract, path-free summaries, and "never combine overlapping histories" as an explicit invariant. Tests cover the dangerous parts. The problems are layering and a growing CLI god-file: a codex_costs.rs wire-contract module that now mixes transport, serialization, and local-scan orchestration; option-validation logic living in agent_sessions while its consumer policy lives in cli; and a validate() that proves the decoder distrusts its own serializer.

Structural regressions

  1. rust/src/codex_costs.rs now spans three layers and grew 740 → 1109 (+50%).
    It started as "Codex local-log cost aggregation helpers" and now contains (a) the SSH wire contract (CodexCostSummary, CodexHostCostWindow, CodexHostCostReport, constants), (b) the transport decoder (decode_remote_codex_summary), and (c) local scan orchestration (build_codex_cost_summary, codex_today_summary_from_cache, coverage_from_summary — which reaches into JsonlScanner::load_cache and add_codex_days_map_to_summary). These are different change-axes: the wire contract must stay frozen for remote-host compatibility while the aggregation helpers evolve freely. Co-locating them in one file couples a versioned remote protocol to local implementation churn. Extract a codex_costs/summary_contract.rs (types + encode/decode/validate, versioned) and leave aggregation in the parent file; the contract file stays small and boring, and the 1k-line creep stops.

  2. codex_today_summary_from_cache performs a second full JsonlScanner::load_cache(ProviderId::Codex, None) walk in build_codex_cost_summary even though scan_local_codex_summary just ran CostScanner::scan_codex(). The comment claims "the persisted cache is already the exact decoded view used by the scan, so today's bucket can be folded without a second filesystem walk" — but load_cache is still a second decode of the persisted cache and, worse, is called with None cache root while the scanner may be rooted elsewhere. If the invariant is "scan_codex persists the cache it used", the scanner should return or expose the day map it built (e.g. scan_codex_detailed_with_cache already returns the CostUsageCache as its third tuple element) and today's bucket should fold from that — no second load, no root-mismatch hazard, one concept fewer.

  3. CodexHostCostWindow::validate computes a total and throws it away. let mut total = 0u32; for value in […coverage counts…] { total = total.checked_add(…)? } let _ = total; — the sum exists only to detect u32 overflow, which CostCoverageCounts derives from a usize model count, so overflow is unreachable by construction; the checked arithmetic plus unwrap_or(u32::MAX) in coverage_from_summary is defensive theater around a field that should just be usize/u64 end-to-end or a validated type. This is exactly "optionality/cast churn obscuring the real contract" — the contract is "four non-negative counts", full stop.

Missed simplification opportunities (code-judo)

  1. Option-vs-failure is modeled twice. CodexHostCostReport { summary: Option<_>, error: Option<_> } has two Optional fields that are mutually exclusive by construction (enforced only by the success/failure constructors). A enum CodexHostOutcome { Success(CodexCostSummary), Failed(String) } makes the invariant a type; CodexHostCostReport becomes { host, source, outcome } with zero Options. Then append_remote_codex_report's bool-return-also-pushes signature (a function that both mutates and reports failure) collapses, and the filter_map(summary.as_ref()) in the summary-only branch becomes a clean match. Same behavior, fewer footguns.
  2. run_codex_host_costs lives in cli/cost.rs (559 → 821) but is not CLI-shaped. The validation gauntlet, fetch, report assembly, and remote-failure exit policy are a testable unit that could live in codex_costs (or its own host_costs module) with cli/cost.rs reduced to arg parsing + rendering. As is, cli/cost.rs now contains a second output pipeline (render_codex_host_report, summary-only JSON, reports JSON) parallel to the existing print_text_output/print_json_output — a new mini-command hiding inside the cost command. If --remote/--summary-only keep growing (multi-host, more providers), this split becomes mandatory; doing it now is cheap.

Spaghetti / branching complexity

  1. Mode-gating by five sequential if … bail! checks. The constraint matrix (exactly codex, no group_by, not both remote+summary_only, summary_only needs json, days 1..365) is spread across run_codex_host_costs and partially re-enforced in RemoteSessionFetcher::codex_cost_options (days 1..365 again, host validation again — run_codex_host_costs validates the host and codex_cost_options re-validates inside fetch_codex_cost_summary). Double validation is harmless for safety but means the "who enforces what" boundary is undocumented; consolidate the arg-contract in one place and let the transport trust its caller.
  2. The if args.remote.is_some() || args.summary_only { return run_codex_host_costs(...) } fork at the top of run() is the thin edge of a wedge — a mode flag splitting the command into two programs. Fine for one mode pair, but it should be a clearly named early-exit (it is) with the docs updated (they are).

Boundary / abstraction / type problems

  1. incomplete_request_count is dead weight on the wire. CodexHostCostWindow::from_summary hardcodes incomplete_request_count: 0, the doc comment admits "the local scanner does not expose per-request incomplete counts, so the count remains zero", and the renderer has a branch for > 0 that can never fire for locally-produced summaries. A field that is always zero, validated against i32::MAX, and rendered with an unreachable branch is speculative contract surface on a versioned protocol. Either source it from the scanner or drop it (schema is version 1; removing it now is free, adding it later is the compatible direction).
  2. provenance/coverage are derived-but-serialized fields with hand-rolled consistency rules. validate() requires totals to be None when history_coverage_is_established == false, and from_summary enforces the same direction — the invariant is encoded once in the builder and again in the validator. Since both ends are CodexBar, serde-derived serialization of an enum (provenance is already a typed CostProvenance) plus a single new() constructor would delete the "trust the peer's arithmetic" validation class entirely. As written, validate exists because the type permits states the builder cannot produce; tighten the type and the validator shrinks to the version/provider/days checks.

File-size / decomposition concerns

  1. codex_costs.rs crosses the 1k line in this PR (740 → 1109). Under rule 1 this is a presumptive blocker: the file was under 1k and the PR pushes it past with ~370 lines that split naturally along the contract/aggregation seam (Fix provider state refresh and taskbar-safe window placement for menu/settings popups #1). This is the PR's clearest actionable finding.
  2. cli/cost.rs 559 → 821: under 1k, but see fix: close window hides to tray instead of exiting & settings opens independently #5 — the host-cost block is ~200 lines of non-CLI logic inside the command file.
  3. agent_sessions/remote.rs 245 → 410: acceptable — new methods sit beside the existing SSH machinery they reuse (validate_host, CommandOptions, run_async), which is the right layer.

Lower-priority notes

  • codex_cost_runner's 17-key env allowlist is reasonable and well-scoped; SSH_AUTH_SOCK inclusion is correct for BatchMode agent auth.
  • The remote command string interpolates history_days (a validated u32) — injection-safe as built; the test asserting -oProxyCommand=x rejection pins the host-side guard. Good.
  • updated_at validated to <= 253_402_300_799 (year 9999) — fine, though chrono timestamps already can't exceed that after serde decode; borderline validation theater.
  • The --summary-only remote path emits a bare Vec<CodexCostSummary> (not the CodexHostCostReport envelope) and the decoder demands reports.len() == 1 — a scalar payload inside a list type; making --summary-only emit the single object directly would delete the len==1 check. Minor since the contract is versioned.
  • Tests remote_failure_retains_local_report and host_text_preserves_unknown_values_and_separate_boundaries target real behavior. Good.

Use the production renderer in the test.

rust/src/cli/mod.rs allows dead_code, so this helper does not fail the warnings-denied Clippy workflow. The CLI-local renderer is still called only by the test, while production uses the duplicate in rust/src/codex_costs/host_costs.rs. Move host_text_preserves_unknown_values_and_separate_boundaries to host_costs.rs, then remove the CLI-local renderer. This makes the test cover production code and leaves one renderer.

Honor JSON format for remote reports.

When --remote is set and --summary-only is false, --format json is accepted but the text branch ignores args.format and emits text. Serialize a defined host-report JSON shape, or reject this combination before scanning.
