Description

Session metadata shows totalTokens: 0 and Context: 0/200k (0%) even after multiple exchanges in an active session.

Impact

• Compaction/pruning logic cannot trigger (thinks context is empty)
• safeguard mode compaction won't kick in at 80% because it never sees usage
• Session management decisions based on context size will be wrong

Reproduction

1. Start a session (Discord channel, DM, etc.)
2. Exchange several messages with tool calls
3. Check session via sessions_list or session_status
4. Observe totalTokens: 0 and Context: 0/200k (0%)

Expected

totalTokens should accumulate from per-message usage.totalTokens values. The per-message usage IS being tracked correctly (visible in message history), but the session-level aggregate stays at 0.

Config

{
  "contextPruning": { "mode": "off" },
  "compaction": { "mode": "safeguard" }
