Executive Summary

This session had two phases. First, a comprehensive telemetry data inventory for session e6e8aa27-a096-45a6-bd36-839803bf6760 — a 27.4-hour backlog implementation session from Feb 20-21. The audit located 1,296 records across 4 data types (578 trace spans, 691 evaluations, 27 logs, 25 user prompts) stored in 6 JSONL files. Analysis revealed 78 unique span attribute keys, 291M cache-read tokens, and a tool correctness score averaging 0.880 across 325 evaluations.

Second, a significant dashboard feature push: KV delta sync with content-hash deduplication and write budgets for Cloudflare free-tier compliance, a full session detail page, sparkline charts on metric cards, pipeline health stats, provenance and confidence panels, and a complete design system refresh with JetBrains Mono/IBM Plex Sans typography.

Phase 2: Dashboard Feature Push

KV Delta Sync (scripts/sync-to-kv.ts)

Rewrote the KV sync pipeline to stay under Cloudflare’s free-tier 1,000 writes/day limit:

  • Content-hash delta sync: SHA-256 hash comparison skips unchanged entries
  • Write budget: Default 450 entries/run with --budget flag
  • Priority bucketing: meta/dashboard > metrics > trends > traces
  • State persistence: .kv-sync-state.json tracks last-sync hashes
  • Graceful degradation: Catches KV daily limit errors (code 10048) and defers

Session Detail Page (src/pages/SessionDetailPage.tsx)

New 740-line page providing full session telemetry view:

  • Trace listing with duration, status, tool attribution
  • Evaluation breakdown with score distributions
  • Log records with severity filtering
  • Tool usage summary with error rates
  • Session timeline visualization
  • API route: GET /api/sessions/:sessionId
  • Hook: useSessionDetail.ts with SWR data fetching

Design System Overhaul (src/theme.css)

Complete refresh of the CSS custom property system:

Aspect Before After
Typography System fonts JetBrains Mono + IBM Plex Sans
Color palette GitHub-inspired Custom dark theme with accent blues
CSS variables 15 45+ (spacing, radii, shadows)
Status effects None Glow shadows for warning/critical
Accessibility None prefers-reduced-motion support

New Components

  • ConfidencePanel (src/components/ConfidencePanel.tsx): Displays agreement grid, variance bars, and consensus method for multi-evaluator confidence analysis
  • ProvenancePanel (src/components/ProvenancePanel.tsx): Evaluation audit trail with trace/span/session IDs, evaluator metadata, and copy-to-clipboard actions
  • Sparkline integration on MetricCard: 24-bucket SVG trend lines with status-colored strokes

Dashboard API Enhancements

  • dashboard.ts: computeSparklineData() buckets evaluations into 24 time bins, returns avg scores per bucket, piped through all role views
  • server.ts: Mounted session routes at /api/sessions
  • sessions.ts: Full CRUD for session telemetry queries via parent dist/ backend
