Dated notes from recent initiatives โ€” the main entry above is not rewritten.

Fix2026-08-05

2026-07-19: Under CAROL-INI-3004 the Token Cost Tracker app, which runs as carolapps, gained a sanctioned restart lane after being found absent from both the Radagast restart_app APP_REGISTRY and the root bounce helper's baked 8-app registry. Previously it could not be cleanly bounced, since reclaim_port refused foreign-user listeners and a carol-apps.service restart reloaded nothing (KillMode=none).

New Capability2026-07-26

The by-service chart now has darker borderless bars, a service card strip with brighter-shade selection, and shows complete per-service spend for any selected day.

Fix2026-07-26

Token Cost Tracker now uses a shared day-count module so its daily initiative count matches Tracker's count, resolving a mismatch.

Fix2026-07-26

As of 2025-01-30, Token Cost Tracker now correctly displays per-service budgets by sourcing from the new budget_allocations table, fixing the bug where new budgets were not shown.

Fix2026-07-26

2025-04-10: Fixed a bug where Token Cost Tracker read daily caps from a stale mirror instead of the registry-first budget source; now uses the effective cap resolver.

New Capability2026-07-25

Gemini image/video generation is now visible as a first-class provider in the Token Cost Tracker, with a dedicated label instead of being bucketed as 'Other'. Token Cost Tracker

Change2026-07-24

The Token Cost Tracker daily-spend chart now counts only planner-mode initiatives and has been relabeled for clarity.

New Capability2026-07-12

New app Token Cost Tracker built to log all LLM spend across the whole Carolverse, with daily stacked charts by model. Integrates with Process Monitoring for full visibility.

New Capability2026-07-12

Token Cost Tracker v2 now shows live bypass costs from Orion, with day-scoped breakdowns, bar selection, and a redesigned layout.

Correction2026-07-09

A disambiguation note: CAROL-INI-2352-00 addresses the Azure consumption dashboard (port 7070, /dev/costs/)โ€”not the Carol Cost Monitor (Token Cost Tracker, port 7174, /dev/carol-costs/), which was fixed by a prior initiative. No material change to Token Cost Tracker.

Change2026-07-07

App renamed from 'Carol Cost Monitor' to 'Initiative Cost Tracker' and ownership transferred to Midas (Midas), per Ninad ruling CLI-024.

Two defects on the Daily Spend (last 14d) stacked-by-subscription chart. (1) The chart canvas is 240px tall; with the current spend scale the stacked bars are too small to read -\u2026
