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.

Use fak info and open the Cache tab for the hierarchy, or query the same records with:

fak info --gateway-url http://127.0.0.1:PORT --json
