1.7.0 — 2026-10-02

Release Notes

Spend nobody reported no longer reads as zero, and Layover says why a runner's costs are missing
and what to add to its command.

Compatibility. The configuration format, the HTTP API, the MCP tools and the on-disk layout
are unchanged. Three things behave differently in an existing factory:

• layover validate has a new warning, so a factory checked with --strict whose Copilot or
  Claude Code runner lacks its JSON output now fails the check, as it should: its spend has been
  unknowable.
• A factory with a [rates] table now gets estimates for runs that print tokens and no dollars,
  shown as rate_card and never debited from Fuel or the Reserve.
• A run's recorded model is the one its command line selects, falling back to the declared one,
  so By model gains runner-fixed models.

Added

• layover validate warns about a runner whose output cannot say what its runs cost: one an
  agent uses that runs Copilot CLI without --output-format json or Claude Code without
  --output-format stream-json (or json), and a Codex runner without --json where a rate card
  has a row for one of its agents' models. Each names the agents affected and what to add. The CLI
  is recognised by name anywhere in the command; a command naming none of them is not judged. A
  factory checked with validate --strict that has such a runner now fails the check, which is the
  point: its spend has been unknowable.
• layover doctor says why runs reported no cost, runner by runner. Beside "7 of 9 run(s)
  reported no cost" it now names each runner the silent runs ran on and what to change: the output
  flag its CLI needs, a rate card row for a Codex model, or — where the command is already right —
  that the runs ended before printing a cost, or were recorded before Layover read one (Copilot
  runs were first priced in 1.4.0, and history is never repriced).

Fixed

• A rate card priced nothing. [rates.<model>] is documented as the fallback for a runner that
  prints tokens but no dollars — Codex — and was parsed and validated, and then never applied: every
  such run was unreported, and a factory that had written a rate card still showed no spend. A run
  that printed token counts and no dollar figure is now estimated from the card for the model its
  command line selects, with Codex's cached input priced at the cache rate. An estimate is
  rate_card: shown and totalled, never debited from Fuel and never drawn from the Reserve, as
  the cost page always said. A figure a runner printed and that was not believed stays
  unreported. A run's recorded model is now the one its command line selects, falling back to
  the one the agent declares, so a factory that fixes the model in its runner sees it in By
  model.
• Spend that nobody reported read as $0.00. A workflow whose runs all reported nothing showed
  $0.00 on the route map's spend, 7d, with no sign that it was not a figure, and the cost
  cards and breakdowns showed the same sum with only a small note beside it. A total built partly
  from silence now carries a +, and one built wholly from it reads not reported.
• examples/planner.toml ran Copilot without --output-format json, the only output that
  carries the AI credits a run used, so a factory started from it recorded every Copilot run as
  reporting nothing. Every other example already had it.
