Conversation
Phase B2 of the FastWire umbrella (lidge-jun#1886), closing the request in lidge-jun#1875. Fast now works end to end for xAI, and only where xAI documents it. Capability follows the transport. The registry gains a key-auth service-tier overlay applied only when a preset allows the key override and the captured effective auth transport is key-based; xAI declares Fast there and stays unclassified on OAuth, because Priority Processing is documented for the public api.x.ai endpoints and not for the Grok CLI subscription gateway. The overlay resolves inside the shared FastPolicyAuthority capture, so the catalog and the runtime cannot disagree — and the runtime only rewrites the base URL to that gateway when authMode is "oauth", exactly when the overlay withholds the capability, so Fast can never be injected into the unverified endpoint. The catalog stops telling every provider OpenAI's story. Fast tier copy is now per-provider, and xAI's says what xAI actually charges: priority processing at 2x token price, not "1.5x speed". Providers that declare nothing keep their current bytes. Pricing is declared rather than hardcoded to one vendor. The OpenAI-only provider gate becomes exact (provider, model) priority rules, so xAI gets its documented flat 2x while routed resellers sharing the grok slug inherit nothing. The long-context relationship is likewise a declaration: OpenAI publishes that Fast and long context are exclusive regimes, while xAI publishes neither a combined rate nor an exclusion — so a confirmed-priority request above 200k prices at the published long-context rate and is marked a known lower bound, surfaced in the dashboard as "≥$" rather than an invented stacked multiplier. Billing still follows the response echo, which matches xAI's rule that the priority rate applies only when the response confirms it. NOTE — beyond the Fast path: xAI's bundled cached-input price for grok-4.6 was $0.30 against an official $0.50, so every xai cost estimate (not just Fast) was low. A verified-override layer corrects it ahead of the bundled row, which the existing expected-price overlays sit behind and could not reach. The Fast multiplier applies on top of the base price, so shipping the premium without this correction would have compounded the error. Full suite at this commit: 13330 pass / 10 skip / 1 fail — the one failure is the pre-existing dev-side key-login-live-update regression, confirmed to reproduce on this branch's own base commit (bcc77c0) with none of these changes applied.

summarizeFilteredLogs(Lines 343-370) accumulatescost.estimate.cost.totalintoestimatedCostUsdbut never checkscost.estimateReasonsfor"priority_lower_bound". The aggregated value is then formatted at Line 614 withformatEstimatedUsdValue(conversationTotals.estimatedCostUsd, localeTag), which omits the thirdlowerBoundargument and therefore defaults tofalseinformatEstimatedUsdValue(Lines 251-253).The failure mode: if any log entry in the filtered conversation used xAI Priority long-context pricing (flagged
priority_lower_bound), its true cost may exceed what is shown, but the aggregated total is rendered with the"~$"(approximate) prefix instead of"≥$"(lower bound). Sinceusage.cost.disclaimeralready tells users these are list-price estimates, silently downgrading a floor value to an approximate value defeats the purpose of the newly introduced lower-bound marker and can materially understate cost.Track whether any summed entry carries the lower-bound reason and propagate it to the formatter.

Require response confirmation before applying the xAI Priority premium.
serviceTierContextFromOutcome() converts an assumed outcome into requestedServiceTier: "priority". Lines 452-454 then apply xAI's 2x multiplier even when no response confirms Priority. xAI bills at the Priority rate only when the response confirms service_tier: "priority". This currently overstates unconfirmed xAI costs. (docs.x.ai)

The readiness checklist requires a screenshot for GUI changes. Three seeded grok-4.6 rows exercise every branch of the new pricing path in one view: standard, a response-confirmed priority request at exactly the documented 2x premium, and a confirmed-priority request above the long-context threshold rendering as "≥$" because xAI publishes no combined rate. Captured against a local proxy with a seeded usage log; no live xAI request was billed to produce it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Document the inclusive long-context threshold.
src/usage/expected-prices.ts:349-370 defines the xAI threshold as inclusive. A request with exactly 200,000 input tokens therefore uses the long-context pricing path. Change “above 200k” to “at or above 200k” so the evidence matches runtime behavior.

Independent review before merge: the capability overlay (API-key only, OAuth never advertises Fast), exact (provider,model) pricing match, and privacy posture all check out. Held as needs-work on one billing-correctness blocker: Assumed tier is billed as confirmed. When the response carries no tier confirmation, the outcome path returns Minor: evidence README says "above 200k" where the implementation and xAI's price table use inclusive >=200k. Also please rebase for a Cross-platform CI run on the exact head. Happy to merge after those. |

Summary
Phase B2 of the FastWire umbrella (#1886), and the change #1875 asked for: Codex Fast now works end to end against xAI — and only on the transport xAI documents it for.
This is the first per-provider unit. It builds directly on
dev(A0/A1/B0/B1 all landed), so nothing is stacked.Capability follows the transport
The registry gains a key-auth service-tier overlay, applied only when a preset allows the key override and the captured effective auth transport is key-based. xAI declares Fast there and stays unclassified on OAuth — not
false, because we lack evidence about that endpoint rather than evidence against it, andfalsewould also block a future exact-model opt-in.Two properties worth checking in review:
FastPolicyAuthoritycapture, so the catalog and the runtime resolve from one source — the A1 invariant.authMode === "oauth", which is exactly when the overlay withholds capability. Fast therefore cannot be injected into the unverified endpoint, by construction rather than by convention.The catalog stops telling every provider OpenAI's story
Fast tier copy becomes per-provider. xAI's says what xAI charges — priority processing at 2x token price — instead of the hardcoded
"1.5x speed, increased usage", which was OpenAI's claim applied to everyone. Providers that declare nothing keep their current bytes, and the A0 catalog byte golden passes untouched.Pricing is declared, not hardcoded to one vendor
OPENAI_TIER_PROVIDER_IDSgate becomes exact(provider, model)priority rules. xAI gets its documented flat 2x; routed resellers that reuse thegrok-4.6slug inherit nothing (explicit regressions cover OpenRouter and Cursor).≥$rather than~$. No stacked multiplier is invented."priority". B0's confirmation model already implemented this; this PR proves it holds for xAI rather than reimplementing it.xAI's bundled cached-input price for
grok-4.6is $0.30 against an official $0.50, so every xai cost estimate has been low — not only Fast ones. A verified-override layer corrects it ahead of the bundled row; the existing expected-price overlays sit behind that row and could not reach it, so this needed a new precedence step rather than a new entry in an existing list.It is in scope by necessity: the Fast multiplier applies on top of the base price, so shipping the 2x premium against a wrong base would have compounded the error. But it does change historical cost display for xai users, which is why it is flagged here rather than buried.
UI change
The only visible change is the cost cell: a figure that is a known floor now renders
≥$instead of~$, and the detail drawer explains why. Three seededxai/grok-4.6rows below cover every branch — standard, a response-confirmed priority request at exactly the documented 2x premium, and a confirmed-priority request above the long-context threshold.req-standard~$0.0300req-priority~$0.0600— exactly 2x the row abovereq-longctx-priority≥$0.8760— published long-context rate, marked a floorCaptured against a local proxy with a seeded usage log; no live xAI request was billed.
