Why
The configurable
/statuslineand terminal title can display session token usage. That display was using the raw total token count, which includes cached input tokens, so it significantly overstated the token usage compared with the blended token count shown elsewhere (in/statusand tracked in goals). This inconsistency resulted in user confusion. We don't want to report cached tokens because we don't charge for them and they are somewhat of an implementation detail that users shouldn't care about.What changed
TokenUsage::blended_total()for theused-tokensstatus surface item so cached input is excluded.tokens_in_context_window()clarifying that it returns rawtotal_tokens, whose meaning depends on whether the caller has last-turn or accumulated usage.
