fix(sleep): thread-safe backend cache + redact exports - #251

report.json is now correctly passed through the mapping-aware redactor, but the export-redaction and thread-safety fixes are still incomplete in three places.

1. Harvest output uses _redact_deep(payload), while _redact_deep() only recurses into values and loses the mapping-key context. As a result, _redact_deep({"api_key": "plain-secret", "nested": {"token": "other"}}) returns both secrets unchanged. Please use the existing mapping-key-aware redact_secrets(payload) at every structured output boundary.
2. write_staging() redacts report.json but writes caller-provided report_md verbatim. Edit content/rationale can therefore still expose credentials. Please redact the Markdown before writing it as well.
3. Not all cache/token access uses the new lock: the Pi and OpenCode overrides still inspect and pop _cache directly, and tokens_used() reads _tokens without the lock. More importantly, parallel replay_one() attributes one call's tokens from a shared global before/after total, so overlapping workers can charge another worker's tokens to the wrong result. Please route cache/token access through locked helpers, prevent a failed caller from deleting another caller's successful cache entry, and use call-local accounting for per-result tokens.

Please add boundary-level tests for both harvest output/file and report.md, including nested api_key/token mappings. The concurrency tests should use barriers/events to force overlapping misses and assert exact call/cache/token outcomes, including a concurrent Pi/OpenCode empty-result versus successful-result case. The current immediate echo test does not guarantee overlap and can pass without exercising these races.

Yifan Yang (@Yif-Yang) — thank you for the thorough review and guidance! I've addressed the feedback:

• Structured outputs now use the mapping-key-aware redact_secrets (not _redact_deep, which loses the key context); report_md is also redacted before writing.
• Thread-safety hardened: cache/token access goes through locked helpers (_cache_get/_cache_pop/_cache_pop_if); tokens_used() is locked; a failed caller only conditionally pops its own empty value (_cache_pop_if), never another worker's success; the base no longer caches empty (transient-failure) results.
• Switched to call-local token accounting (thread-local delta) so parallel replay no longer misattributes tokens through a global before/after total.
• Added tests: nested api_key/token redaction, report.md, barrier-forced concurrency, pop-if not deleting a success, Pi subclass empty-vs-success, and thread-isolated token deltas — all pass.

Thanks again for the detailed review!

Yifan Yang (@Yif-Yang) — thank you for the careful review and guidance. In fact I've done almost all of these submissions through DSH, which is exactly why I have a bold idea. Across your recent PR reviews I noticed that you consistently apply a set of quality baselines: fail-closed handling, structure-aware and boundary-consistent redaction, thread-safety with call-local accounting, validating against real contracts, PR hygiene, and so on. I'd like to distill that into a reusable review-standards: a general quality standard plus a pre-PR self-check CLI that contributors run before submitting, so they spend less time on rework and you receive fewer low-quality PRs — a win-win. I'd credit you as the original source of these standards. Looking forward to hearing from you whenever you get a chance.

Thanks — several original races and the report.md boundary are fixed, but four correctness gaps remain on this head.

1. cmd_harvest --json still calls _redact_deep(payload). That function recurses into values and loses mapping-key context, so {"api_key":"top-secret"} is still emitted unchanged on JSON stdout. Please use the mapping-aware redact_secrets(payload) at this final boundary too.
2. A cache hit returns before resetting self._thread_local.delta. Reusing a worker thread after a real call therefore makes a later cache hit report the previous call's token delta.
3. Concurrent misses for the same key both make paid model calls, but when one worker finds the other's cached success it sets its own delta = 0 and does not add that real call to _tokens. The cache contents are safe, but actual usage is undercounted unless in-flight calls are coalesced or every real call is charged.
4. DualBackend has no token_delta(). Consequently replay_one() falls back to a response-length estimate and loses the target backend's real call-local cost.

Please add boundary-level stdout coverage for mapping-key secrets, a same-thread miss→hit regression, a barrier-forced same-key concurrent-miss test that checks paid-call accounting, and a DualBackend replay accounting test. These are the remaining blockers; the other changes from the previous review look addressed.

Already addressed the review feedback and updated this branch (#251):

• Commits 37fe5b6 / d555992: _redact_deep now delegates to the key-aware redact_secrets walker (fixing every output boundary: --json, digests/snapshot files, gate_trials, extra, display); cache hits reset the thread-local delta; every real call on a concurrent miss is charged; DualBackend gained token_delta(); barrier tests added (with a longer timeout to avoid slow-CI flakiness).
  Please re-review, thanks.

Also added a comment on DualBackend.token_delta() documenting that target-only is intentional: replay drives the target, and the optimizer only appears via the rare model-judge fallback (rule/exact/answer tasks are scored locally); the aggregate tokens_used() still counts both, so the total is not undercounted.

Thanks — the original cache-hit, concurrent-call, boundary-redaction, and DualBackend changes are mostly addressed. Two blockers remain. First, the branch’s own full suite fails at tests/test_export_redaction.py::test_redact_deep_loses_mapping_key_context; that stale regression still asserts that the secret leaks and must be updated to assert redaction. Second, real tool-aware replay overrides update _tokens directly but do not set the new thread-local delta, so replay_one() receives zero or stale call-local usage and falls back to a response-length estimate. Please make call-local accounting cover attempt_with_tools() as well and add a tool-replay regression, including the dual-backend path.

Thanks for the re-review. Addressed both blockers: the stale est_redact_deep_loses_mapping_key_context now asserts redaction (was asserting the leak), and every �ttempt_with_tools override that charged _tokens now sets the call-local thread delta (Claude CLI, OpenCode, Codex, Cursor), so
eplay_one() sees real call-local usage. Added tool-replay regressions incl. the dual-backend path. Commit 3c6f95.

Thanks — the tool-aware paths now set a call-local delta, but two accounting issues remain. OpenCodeCliBackend.attempt_with_tools() returns early when tool replay is disabled without resetting the thread-local delta, so a reused worker can report the previous call token count. Also, the Claude, OpenCode, Codex, and Cursor tool-aware paths still update _tokens directly outside _lock, unlike _cached_call(). Please route all token charging and per-call delta updates through one locked helper, reset the delta on every no-call/early-return path, and add a same-thread prior-call → disabled-tool-replay regression plus barrier-forced concurrent tool-call accounting coverage.

Thanks to Teacher Yifan for the careful review, please wait a moment.

Thanks for the re-review - both accounting issues are resolved (commits 3ef661, c8ff7f8, 8a17aa6):

• All token charging now goes through one locked helper _record_cost (aggregate _tokens under _lock + call-local _thread_local.delta), so no path updates _tokens outside the lock.
• The call-local delta is reset on every no-call / early-return path (_reset_call_delta), covering the OpenCode disabled-tool-replay early return and cache hits - a reused worker can no longer report the previous call's cost.
• The Azure/OpenCode real-usage paths also record call-local delta via _record_delta.
• Added regressions: barrier-forced concurrent _record_cost (no lost updates) and same-thread prior-call ? disabled-tool-replay delta reset.
