From ff333ae06763b0f6b914dd90d2008de8e3646ef5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikael Hugo Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 17:55:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat(memory): surface injection token cost in headless query MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The Project Memories section is rendered into every execute-task, plan-slice, and research-slice prompt. At 10 memories × ~200 chars each that's ~2K chars/turn injected into the context — real cost, no operator-visible meter. Adds two runtime_counters (already-existing key/value store): memory_inject_chars_total — cumulative section size memory_inject_count — number of injections Written by buildProjectMemoriesSection() on every render. Both writes sit inside a try/catch so a legacy DB without runtime_counters silently skips rather than blocking prompt build. `sf headless query` surfaces the cumulative + derived metrics as a new top-level `memoryInjection` block: { total_chars: 12480, count: 8, avg_chars: 1560, estimated_total_tokens: 3120 } The block is omitted entirely when count is 0 (fresh project / no prompts rendered yet) so it doesn't clutter the snapshot. Operators can now correlate prompt size growth against autonomous run cost without instrumenting the LLM call sites directly. The estimated_total_tokens is chars/4 — a rough approximation since SF doesn't tokenise the section, intentionally documented as such. Resolves sf-mp723yl9-rcxoeh filed via the headless feedback CLI. Tests: 5 source-level invariants — type carries the section, query reads counters by name, snapshot omits section on zero, write side calls both counter functions, write is wrapped in try/catch with documented failure-mode comment.
