Added

Added reconstructed Claude Code activity metrics to full imports: lines added/deleted from successful edits and writes, and commits from successful Git commit results. Incomplete or failed tool activity is omitted.
Added Claude Code pull request counts from distinct repository/PR links within each imported file, session counts per non-empty file, and active-time estimates from recorded turn durations. PR links indicate references rather than confirmed PR creation; these activity metrics are available in full imports, not incremental watch mode.
Added repository and Git branch attribution to Claude Code and Codex logs and token/cost metrics in both import and watch mode, including Codex session, transcript, tool, and reasoning logs.
Added repository detection from Codex session metadata, local Git remotes and worktrees, structured Claude PR links, GitHub URLs, and literal gh pr --repo/-R arguments in supported message and tool content. Recorded Git URLs and local remotes take precedence over references to other repositories.
Added persistent repository context across watcher restarts and context recovery when resuming older watch state, starting after a full import, or starting without backfill. Later evidence enriches subsequent batches; existing database records are not automatically updated.

Changed

Updated DuckDB to v1.5.5 through duckdb-go v2.10505.0 and Go bindings v0.10505.0.
Expanded import documentation and metric availability tables with activity reconstruction rules, repository attribution precedence, supported reference sources, and import/watch limitations.
Added full backend race detection to macOS CI builds and regression coverage for activity reconstruction, repository attribution, transcripts, DuckDB string/blob boundaries, and concurrent logger use.

Fixed

Fixed GitHub Copilot local sessions returning "Failed to load session transcript" by reconstructing user, assistant, and tool messages from GenAI spans, including related child spans with missing or alternate session IDs.
Fixed known sessions without captured conversation content returning 404; they now return an empty transcript while unknown sessions still return 404.
Preserved imported transcript messages and indices when combining logs with spans, avoided duplicate messages and token usage from overlapping telemetry, and ordered tool results by completion time.
Preserved OTLP protobuf log event names as event.name so transcript events remain identifiable.
Fixed Claude Code imports dropping token and cost usage when usage arrives in a later record for an already-seen request.
Fixed a DuckDB pointer-alignment crash when reading non-inlined strings with Go pointer checks enabled through the dependency upgrade.
Fixed a data race during default logger initialization, access, and reconfiguration.

Added

Added OpenCode as an OTLP-only provider via the @devtheops/opencode-plugin-otel plugin.
Added ai-observer setup opencode instructions with AI Observer-compatible OTLP HTTP/protobuf configuration.
Added export and delete filtering support for the opencode service.
Added OpenCode frontend provider metadata, service labels, icons, metric grouping, and dashboard widget catalog support.
Added OpenCode metric metadata for sessions, token usage, cost, lines of code, commits, tool duration, cache activity, session duration, messages, model usage, and retries.
Added OpenCode session and transcript support for plugin log events and OpenInference-style model, token, cost, tool input, and tool output attributes.
Added OpenCode setup, usage, architecture, export, import, pricing, and metric availability documentation in README, docs, and the in-app documentation page.
Added backend and frontend tests for OpenCode provider registration, export behavior, setup output, transcript helpers, and metric metadata.

Changed

Extended frontend metric filtering so OpenCode services show provider-specific metrics and shared gen_ai.* metrics when selected.
Updated top-level CLI help to include OpenCode OTLP plugin environment variables.
Kept import all and watch all scoped to file-backed providers while allowing OpenCode as a recognized OTLP service.

Fixed

Fixed file-import source discovery so adding OpenCode to the shared tool registry does not make import all expect an OpenCode file parser.

Additional notes2 sources agree

Added

Added GitHub Copilot as an OTLP provider, including setup instructions for the VS Code extension and environment-variable based exporters.
Added GitHub Copilot metric support for token usage, cost, tool calls, agent turns, edit outcomes, lines of code, cloud sessions, pull request events, and generic GenAI metrics.
Added derived GitHub Copilot token and cost metrics from Copilot chat spans.
Added GitHub Copilot pricing data, GitHub Models catalog alias matching, and support for dated/versioned model aliases emitted by Copilot telemetry.
Added watch mode for real-time incremental ingestion from local Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI session files, with optional initial backfill.
Added import-state tracking for file watcher offsets, message counts, and parser state.
Added export filtering for GitHub Copilot VS Code Extension (copilot-chat) and GitHub Copilot CLI (github-copilot) services.
Added frontend metric metadata, service labels, provider icons, dashboard widget catalog entries, and documentation for GitHub Copilot.

Changed

Updated DuckDB to v1.5.3.
Reworked trace list and detail handling around explicit trace row id and kind values so normal OTLP traces and Codex operation rows can be opened consistently.
Simplified recent trace queries by using a unified OTLP trace overview path instead of separate Codex and non-Codex query paths.
Updated Codex trace handling to use raw session trace rows in the list and grouped Codex operation spans in trace detail.
Expanded pricing data and aliases for Claude, Codex/OpenAI, and Gemini models, including long-context pricing support.
Improved metric series aggregation by preserving both token type and model labels.
Updated README and in-app documentation for watch mode, GitHub Copilot telemetry, trace row semantics, and metric availability by ingestion mode.

Fixed

Fixed GitHub Copilot trace detail loading returning 404 for traces that appeared in the trace list.
Rebuilt stale DuckDB trace indexes under versioned names and added an index for span-id lookups.
Fixed dashboard widget persistence and error handling for missing dashboards, missing widgets, widget position updates, and empty widget lists.
Fixed Copilot sessions and transcripts by recognizing GenAI conversation IDs, models, tool names, tool arguments, and tool results in logs.
Fixed frontend trace expansion to load one selected trace row at a time and to route trace detail pages with the correct trace kind.
Fixed frontend metric selection so GitHub Copilot services show their token and cost metrics even before derived rows exist for every metric.
Fixed repeated abort-error handling with shared frontend helpers.
Fixed Codex per-event token and cost metrics so they are not treated as cumulative series.

Security

Hardened storage queries by replacing manual LIMIT/OFFSET string formatting with parameterized query helpers.
Validated metric JSON attribute keys before building DuckDB JSONPath expressions for breakdown and latest-value queries.

AI Observer v0.2.0 Release Notes

Highlights

This release transforms AI Observer from a real-time telemetry receiver into a complete observability solution with historical data import, data export to Parquet, and embedded pricing for 67+ AI models. You can now import past sessions from Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex CLI local files, calculate accurate costs retroactively, and export your telemetry data in portable formats for archiving or sharing.

New Features

Historical Session Import (`ai-observer import`)

Import past session data from local AI tool files directly into AI Observer with automatic cost calculation:

ai-observer import claude-code --from 2025-01-01 --to 2025-12-31
ai-observer import all  # Import from all supported tools

Claude Code: Reads ~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl files
Codex CLI: Reads ~/.codex/sessions/*.jsonl files
Gemini CLI: Reads ~/.gemini/tmp/**/session-*.json files

Features include:

Date range filtering with --from and --to
Dry-run mode to preview imports without changes
Force re-import of already-processed files
Purge existing data in time range before importing
State tracking to avoid duplicate imports

Data Export to Parquet (`ai-observer export`)

Export telemetry data to portable Parquet files with an optional DuckDB views database:

ai-observer export all --output ./export
ai-observer export claude-code --output ./export --zip  # Create ZIP archive
ai-observer export all --output ./export --from-files   # Export directly from raw files

Generates:

traces.parquet, logs.parquet, metrics.parquet files
A DuckDB views database for easy querying with relative paths
Optional ZIP archive for sharing

Data Deletion (`ai-observer delete`)

Delete telemetry data by time range and optionally by service:

ai-observer delete all --from 2025-01-01 --to 2025-01-31
ai-observer delete logs --from 2025-01-01 --to 2025-01-31 --service claude-code

Embedded Pricing System

Cost calculation for 67+ models across three providers with embedded JSON pricing data:

Claude: 21 models including claude-sonnet-4, claude-opus-4, claude-3.5-sonnet, haiku variants
Codex/OpenAI: 28 models including gpt-4.1, o3, o4-mini, codex-mini
Gemini: 18 models including gemini-2.5-pro, gemini-2.0-flash, gemini-exp series

The pricing system handles:

Per-million token pricing for input, output, cache creation, and cache read
Model name normalization (maps variants like claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 to canonical names)
Automatic cost calculation during import

User-Facing Token Metrics for Claude Code

New derived metrics that filter out internal tool-routing API calls to match what users see in billing:

claude_code.token.usage_user_facing - Tokens from user-facing API calls only
claude_code.cost.usage_user_facing - Cost from user-facing API calls only

These metrics exclude API calls that have no cache tokens (tool-routing calls), providing counts that match tools like ccusage.

Dashboard Export & Import

Export and import dashboard configurations via the UI:

Export dashboards to JSON files for backup or sharing
Import dashboards from JSON files or URLs
Preserves widget configurations, positions, and settings

Enhanced Date Range Picker

New date range picker component in the UI with:

Calendar-based date selection
Preset ranges (Last 24h, Last 7d, Last 30d, etc.)
Custom date range support
Applied across Traces, Metrics, and Logs pages

Setup Command

New ai-observer setup command to display configuration instructions:

ai-observer setup claude-code  # Show Claude Code setup
ai-observer setup gemini       # Show Gemini CLI setup
ai-observer setup codex        # Show Codex CLI setup

Improvements

CLI Architecture Overhaul

The CLI now uses a subcommand architecture instead of flags:

ai-observer serve - Start the OTLP server (default when no command)
ai-observer import - Import historical data
ai-observer export - Export to Parquet
ai-observer delete - Delete data by time range
ai-observer setup - Show tool setup instructions

Configurable Log Level

New AI_OBSERVER_LOG_LEVEL environment variable to control logging verbosity:

Supports DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR
Defaults to INFO

Metric Chart Improvements

Line charts now support area fill display
Bar charts show proper stacking for multi-series data
Improved legend and tooltip formatting
Better handling of sparse time series data

Dashboard Widget Enhancements

Metric chart widgets now support configurable intervals and aggregation modes
Widget titles properly reflect the selected metric and configuration
Improved responsive grid layout

Bug Fixes

Gemini Metrics Delta Calculation

Fixed delta metric computation for Gemini CLI cumulative counters. The backend now properly tracks previous values per metric name and attributes to compute per-interval deltas.

Codex Metrics Extraction

Improved token and cost metric extraction from Codex CLI logs, properly parsing the usage field from api_request events.

Technical Changes

New Backend Packages

internal/importer/ - Historical data import logic with parsers for each AI tool
internal/exporter/ - Parquet export, views database generation, and ZIP creation
internal/deleter/ - Time-range based data deletion
internal/pricing/ - Embedded pricing data and cost calculation

DeleteByTimeRange methods on all stores (traces, logs, metrics)
CreateParquetExport method for direct Parquet file generation

Frontend Dependencies

Added date-fns for date manipulation
Added react-day-picker for calendar components
New shadcn/ui components: calendar, date-range-picker, popover

Test Coverage

Comprehensive test suites added for:

CLI command parsing and validation
Import/export functionality
Pricing calculations
Delete operations
Dashboard export/import logic
