Twenty-five columns and not one of them answered "which tier was this?",
so the question the whole issue exists to settle - does a higher tier buy
anything - had no way to group its data.
The three emit entry points deliberately disagree, the way sampling
already does. A successful attempt records what the transport actually
sent: with EFFORT_FALLBACK=nearest a request for medium goes out as low,
and recomputing here would file the row under a tier that never left the
process. A failed attempt has no response to read, so it falls back to
the requested tier - which is exactly right for the tier errors that are
rejected before any HTTP happens, because the rejected tier is the
signal. Cache hits and terminal failures have no chosen source at all,
so a source-level tier is not a thing they could report.
emit_attempt now demands to be told whether the path reasons at all.
Embedding and OCR share the emitter but never send reasoning parameters;
without the flag a source that mistakenly carries ENABLE_THINKING would
hang a tier on a call that could not possibly have run at one.
The value lands as a plain str. StrEnum is a str subclass and asyncpg
promises nothing about encoding subclasses, and a telemetry write that
fails is only a warning - Postgres would just quietly lose the column.
NULL means nobody declared a tier, which is not the same statement as
'none', and the two must never be folded together.
The telemetry field count is taken from inspect.signature, not from
memory, because that is the one the release checklist keeps catching.
llm-calls.md said 22 and was two rounds stale; fixing the title alone
would have left the table contradicting it, so tenant_id and meta are
documented too.
The production template needed no new column — it derives them with
LIKE. What it gained is an assertion that it must keep deriving them
and must not inline a column name, which is the drift that could
actually happen.
The changelog leads with the three breaking items. A patch number
carries no warning by design, so the entry has to.
A sixteen-row matrix over 127 real calls: disable and enable on
MiniMax-M3 in both streaming and non-streaming mode, extra_body winning
over the profile slot, qwen and deepseek still disabling correctly, a
drift sentinel that re-derives every registered capability from live
behaviour, and the assembly guard refusing the models that cannot
comply.
Two judgement criteria had to be corrected by the data they were meant
to judge. Output length cannot separate the two regimes at all -- the
disabled runs reach 46 tokens when the model narrates its working in
the visible answer, and the enabled runs drop to 13 when medium effort
barely thinks. reasoning_tokens separates them cleanly in both
directions, which is precisely what issue #6 was collected for. A
second anchor compares prompt_tokens between the two regimes: the
vendor injects a reasoning instruction when thinking is on, so the
input side grows, and comparing the two runs relatively avoids
hardcoding any vendor number.
Provider names are mapped explicitly rather than guessed from the model
string; guessing had silently skipped the qwen row behind a "source
unavailable" reason that was not true.
The test passed overlay and sampling as separate objects while production
aliases them, so an in-place mutation slipped through it. Also syncs the
telemetry schema page and adds the missing postgres round-trip assertion.
