Work-done source provenance
fak info classifies runtime work with the versioned fak.info.work-source/1 taxonomy. Collection records the source before rendering; the UI does not infer provenance from labels.
| Stable ID | Owner | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
provider_cache |
provider | Input was loaded from the provider prefix cache. |
fak_response_reuse |
fak | A response-memo/vDSO hit served work without another model call. |
inline_tool_local |
fak | A read-only tool result was served inline without another model call. |
context_reduction |
fak | Compaction or elision removed input before provider inference. |
fak_prefix_reuse |
fak | Fak reused a KV/prefix token span. |
cold_direct |
provider | The observed path had no measured reuse or reduction. |
unknown |
unknown or fak | A total exists but its producer did not provide a finer source, or the source block is absent. |
Every source record carries owner, disposition (loaded, served, reduced, or unknown), event-count availability, token effect, call effect, evidence class, and an exclusivity group. Token effects in input_token_equiv_owner/v1 partition the WORK DONE token total. Call effects in avoided_model_call_path/v1 partition the avoided-call total. These are different units and must never be added together.
The gateway preserves response-memo and inline-served counts separately while retaining the older combined avoided-call total for compatibility. If a combined total is larger than its classified children, the remainder is emitted as unknown; it is not silently assigned to a mechanism. A present all-zero attribution block emits cold_direct, while an absent block emits unknown because lack of telemetry is not proof of a cold request.
