🔍 Telemetry Enhancements Investigation
Kontask df331025-848a-4113-ab30-e75a7e5fcc82 from 2026-01-03
✓ Working: Turn-Level Timing
72 telemetry records have turnTiming data
- thinkingMs, toolExecutionMs tracked correctly
- Per-tool breakdown showing call counts & durations
- Telemetry page shows Turn-Level Timing section
- Kontask detail view shows timing bars
⚠️ Not Working: Token Usage
0 records have tokenUsage data
- Code exists in konsole/stream.ts to extract tokens from
resultevent - But Claude Code CLI doesn't include
usageortotal_cost_usdin result events - Status Line hook was implemented (bin/statusline-token-tracker.sh) but not connected
Root cause: Claude Code stream-json mode doesn't emit token usage in events. The kontask correctly noted this: "Claude Code CLI doesn't include token usage in stream-json events"
⏸️ Not Triggered: Worker Tracking
0 records have workerCount > 0
- Code exists in console-event-handler.ts to detect Task tool
- 👷 badge and "with workers" display ready in telemetry UI
- No dashboard console sessions have used Task tool yet
Status: Implemented but untested - needs a Task tool spawn to verify
