#!/usr/bin/env python3 """M-D2-CST: USD cost of agentic work, attributed to workplan tasks. Normative spec: specs/CostAccounting.md. Decision: decisions/ADR-0003. Reads Claude Code session transcripts, deduplicates by requestId, prices each response at its own model's rate and its own cache TTL, and attributes it to the task named by the next commit at or after it within the same session. Positive control (InnerLoop v1.0 §Step 5, CostAccounting CA-02/CA-14): this tool asserts it did the work it reports. `--self-test` exercises four assertions against fixtures with known answers; every reporting run checks the dedup invariant and reconciles attributed + unattributed + open + unpriced against the raw total, aborting rather than printing a number that does not add up.
