The new usage page had a "Cost quality" side panel squeezing the breakdown table into a partial-width column. The panel was noise, so it is gone and the breakdown now takes the full width. The page also had no way to navigate back, so there is now a back button in the top left (history back, falls back to /).

Note: the "Cache savings" tile in the metrics strip still reads from the same cost-quality data. It is part of a different section and was kept.

Note

Low Risk
UI-only layout and navigation changes on the usage page with no API or data pipeline impact.

Overview
The Usage page header now includes a Back control that uses browser history when available, otherwise navigates to /.

The breakdown section is full width again: the right-hand Cost quality sidebar (provider reported / model priced / unpriced shares plus the QualityRow helper) is removed. The Cache savings metric in the top stats strip is unchanged and still surfaces cache savings from the same underlying data.

Note

Remove cost quality sidebar and add back button to usage page

  • Removes the QualityRow component and the right-hand "Cost quality" sidebar from UsagePage.tsx, replacing the two-column breakdown layout with a single-column flex layout.
  • Adds a back button to the page header using TanStack Router; it calls router.history.back() when history is available, otherwise navigates to /.
  • Behavioral Change: The cost quality breakdown rows are no longer visible on the usage page.

Macroscope summarized 4268ebb.

**Full Changelog**: pingdotgg/t3code@v0.0.33-nightly.20260809.1039...v0.0.33-nightly.20260809.1040

Upstream release: https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/releases/tag/v0.0.33-nightly.20260809.1040
incognitojam added a commit to yngatech/t3code that referenced this pull request Aug 9, 2026
The desktop update tooltip flattens the release body into plain bullet
lines, so the structured nightly highlights (`## Nightly highlights`,
`### Added`, …) rendered their headings as list items and wasted 3 of
the tooltip's 8 item slots. This PR makes the generated changelog and
the tooltip work together, and leans harder into the LLM pipeline while
keeping attribution.

## Changes

- **Nightly highlights are a flat list** of plain items with compact PR
references that survive the tooltip's markup stripping (`#61` for fork
PRs, `t3code#123` for upstream, short SHAs for direct commits). Removals
are phrased as "Remove …" via prompt guidance instead of a section
label.
- **Attribution is structural:** summary items are now `{ text,
evidenceIds }` objects. The model only returns evidence IDs; URLs are
rendered deterministically and IDs are validated against the collected
evidence, so references can't be fabricated. The rolling fork-features
issue gets the same per-item references.
- **Extraction sees diffs:** each commit contributes a truncated patch
(4 KB cap, lockfiles excluded) so descriptions are grounded in what
actually changed rather than paraphrasing PR titles. Over the 160k-char
prompt budget, the largest diffs are dropped first — titles and PR
bodies never are.
- **`## What's Changed` stays** as the exhaustive record and now credits
contributors once per PR (`by @username`, fetched via `gh api` with
graceful fallback).
- **The tooltip parser stops at `## What's Changed`** when curated
highlights precede it, so raw commit lines no longer mix with highlight
lines. Bodies that open with the commit list (upstream-style, or a
nightly with no highlights) still show it.

## Pipeline example

Evidence in (abridged; one upstream commit from the delta below):

```jsonc
{
  "id": "pingdotgg#5756",
  "title": "fix(web): usage page loses the cost quality panel, gains a back button",
  "description": "<sanitized PR body>",
  "files": ["apps/web/src/components/usage/UsagePage.tsx", "…"],
  "diff": "--- a/apps/web/src/components/usage/UsagePage.tsx\n+import { useCanGoBack, useNavigate, useRouter } from \"@tanstack/react-router\";\n…"
}
```

Summary items out (actual output — note one PR correctly yielding both
an improvement and a removal):

```json
{ "text": "Return from Usage through history or to home", "evidenceIds": ["pingdotgg#5756"] }
{ "text": "Remove Cost quality panel from the Usage page", "evidenceIds": ["pingdotgg#5756"] }
```

Rendered in the release body:

```markdown
- Return from Usage through history or to home ([t3code#5756](pingdotgg#5756))
- Remove Cost quality panel from the Usage page ([t3code#5756](pingdotgg#5756))

tooltip shows, via the actual parser:

```
• Identify sidebar threads with unsent drafts (#23)

the tooltip's 8 item slots. This PR makes the generated changelog and
the tooltip work together, and leans harder into the LLM pipeline while
keeping attribution.

## Changes

- **Nightly highlights are a flat list** of plain items with compact PR
references that survive the tooltip's markup stripping (`#61` for fork
PRs, `t3code#123` for upstream, short SHAs for direct commits). Removals
are phrased as "Remove …" via prompt guidance instead of a section
label.
- **Attribution is structural:** summary items are now `{ text,
evidenceIds }` objects. The model only returns evidence IDs; URLs are
rendered deterministically and IDs are validated against the collected
evidence, so references can't be fabricated. The rolling fork-features
issue gets the same per-item references.
- **Extraction sees diffs:** each commit contributes a truncated patch
(4 KB cap, lockfiles excluded) so descriptions are grounded in what
actually changed rather than paraphrasing PR titles. Over the 160k-char
prompt budget, the largest diffs are dropped first — titles and PR
bodies never are.
- **`## What's Changed` stays** as the exhaustive record and now credits
contributors once per PR (`by @username`, fetched via `gh api` with
graceful fallback).
- **The tooltip parser stops at `## What's Changed`** when curated
highlights precede it, so raw commit lines no longer mix with highlight
lines. Bodies that open with the commit list (upstream-style, or a
nightly with no highlights) still show it.

## Pipeline example

Evidence in (abridged; one upstream commit from the delta below):

```jsonc
{
  "id": "pingdotgg#5756",
  "title": "fix(web): usage page loses the cost quality panel, gains a back button",
  "description": "<sanitized PR body>",
  "files": ["apps/web/src/components/usage/UsagePage.tsx", "…"],
  "diff": "--- a/apps/web/src/components/usage/UsagePage.tsx\n+import { useCanGoBack, useNavigate, useRouter } from \"@tanstack/react-router\";\n…"
}
```

Summary items out (actual output — note one PR correctly yielding both
an improvement and a removal):

```json
{ "text": "Return from Usage through history or to home", "evidenceIds": ["pingdotgg#5756"] }
{ "text": "Remove Cost quality panel from the Usage page", "evidenceIds": ["pingdotgg#5756"] }
```

Rendered in the release body:

```markdown
- Return from Usage through history or to home ([t3code#5756](pingdotgg#5756))
- Remove Cost quality panel from the Usage page ([t3code#5756](pingdotgg#5756))
```

## Regenerated release notes for `v0.0.33-nightly.20260809.121`

Rerunning the new generator against the existing release's refs produced
13 items (the published release had 5, plus 3 heading lines). What the
tooltip shows, via the actual parser:

```
• Identify sidebar threads with unsent drafts (#23)
• Show subagent activity counts in right-panel controls (t3code#5745)
• Return from Usage through history or to home (t3code#5756)
• Give agents access to pasted image files (t3code#5757)
• Manage projects from the dedicated Settings page (t3code#5768)
• Preserve selected diff view across panel closures and reloads (t3code#5731)
• Show pointer cursors for clickable controls and actions (t3code#5716)
• Resume Claude sessions without falsely completing skipped turns (t3code#5710)
```

[#19](#19))
- Detect GitHub outages and show status in the sidebar
([#14](#14))
- Show unsent thread drafts with sidebar pencil indicators
([#23](#23))
- Start new threads with GitHub issues as context
([#31](#31))
- Open thread pull or merge requests from command palette
([#46](#46))
- Synchronize existing-thread text and composer settings across
connected devices ([#39](#39),
[#44](#44))

## Improved

- Inspect full commands, labeled streams, numeric exit codes, and
failures ([#11](#11),

[#36](#36))
- Close terminals directly from the grouped terminal list
([#22](#22))
- Show clearer snooze countdowns near hour and day boundaries
([#45](#45))

([#40](#40))
- Install yngatech alongside upstream T3 Code on Windows
([#49](#49))

## Rollout

The generator and workflow changes take effect on the next nightly. The
tooltip parser change ships inside the app, so currently installed
builds still show the mixed list until users update onto a build
containing it.
