See whether ClawDEA is saving you money

  • Estimated Savings / Cost in the Cost Control panel. A new section estimates the net dollar effect of ClawDEA's knowledge layer and IDE integration versus a standard Claude Code setup — the wiki librarian keeping exploration out of the main context, the IDE index replacing file reads — netted against what the layer costs to run (wiki/workspace upkeep and the per-turn primer). Shows this chat, this month, and all-time, each with a confidence range.
  • Honest by design. The estimate is a directional comparison against a baseline we don't actually run, and it can go negative; the section title flips to "ClawDEA Estimated Cost" when the all-time net is negative. Estimated lines carry a ± range; measured costs do not.
  • Refines on resume. Live sessions show a conservative floor; reopening a conversation reconstructs the full session from its transcript for a sharper estimate.

Spend tokens on completions only when you ask (#146)

  • Manual completion hotkey. A new Trigger Inline Completion action (default Alt+\, ⌥\ on macOS) requests a suggestion on demand — it always works, even with automatic completions on. Rebind it in Settings → Keymap → "Trigger Inline Completion".
  • Optional manual-only mode. Enable "Only request completions on hotkey" in Settings to suppress as-you-type completions entirely, so API tokens are spent only when you press the hotkey. Off by default — automatic completions are unchanged unless you opt in.

Fixes and polish

  • The activity hint stays put during long and parallel work. The pulsing "Thinking" dots no longer vanish mid-turn — they are re-asserted on each message and tool result and kept animating through long, quiet stretches, so a slow or parallel sub-agent run always shows that something is happening.
  • Chat view recovers after sleep or a display change (#36). When the machine wakes from sleep or you (un)plug a monitor or move the window between displays, the chat could freeze or render at half resolution and never recover. ClawDEA now rebuilds the view automatically (and /refresh-view forces it), replaying the conversation into a fresh, responsive surface.
  • Cost Control numbers reconcile and always show. The savings section now adds up — estimated per-lever savings, measured upkeep, and a single "Overall" bottom line — and the all-projects, all-time aggregates show immediately on a brand-new chat.
  • IDE index-tools savings are no longer stuck at $0.00. The first file read that the IDE index avoids is now priced at the full input rate, so the estimated saving reflects the real cost avoided.
