Internal maintainership. No public issue.

Problem

Non-ASCII tower mission titles slug to a generic branch name that collides across missions. Tower messages, findings, and reviews also lacked the sender's cumulative token count, and task cards did not lead with the mission id.

What changed

  • TowerPlan rejects non-printable-ASCII mission titles and returns a rewrite hint
  • Tower send, finding, and review tools record the sender's cumulative token usage
  • Task cards lead with the mission id
  • Tests cover the ASCII gate, token recording, and mission-id card lead-in
  • Changeset: @pymodel/pythinker-code patch

Checklist

  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING document.
  • I have linked a related issue (external PRs: the issue must have a maintainer's /approve).
  • I have added tests that prove my feature works.
  • Ran gen-changesets skill, or this PR needs no changeset.
  • Ran gen-docs skill, or this PR needs no doc update.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Tower messages, findings, and reviews now record caller token usage when available.
    • Task descriptions and cards now include mission IDs for clearer identification.
    • Mission titles support printable ASCII punctuation and require a unique identifier word.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Mission planning now rejects titles containing non-ASCII characters and identifies the first invalid character.
    • Reviewer tasks display the appropriate mission or reviewer name when no mission is available.

…en usage

Non-ASCII mission titles slug to a generic branch name that collides across
missions, so TowerPlan now rejects them with a rewrite hint. Tower messages,
findings, and reviews record the sender's cumulative token count, and task
cards lead with the mission id.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Tower now validates mission titles as printable ASCII, records caller token counts for messages, findings, and reviews, and includes mission identifiers in spawned task descriptions. Tests cover validation, token persistence, default values, and task labels.

Mission planning rejects non-printable ASCII titles and reports the first invalid character. Planning guidance requires unique identifier words. Tests cover invalid titles, mixed batches, and printable punctuation.

Tower tools derive caller token usage from ISessionUsageService. The store writes token counts to message, finding, and review frontmatter and activity logs. Missing usage records -1.
Mission-aware spawn descriptions

Spawn logic reuses the resolved target mission. Worker and reviewer task descriptions include mission identifiers when available. Reviewer descriptions use reviewer and branch information when no mission exists.

352-565: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Remove the unnecessary SubagentTask casts from the description checks.

registerTask is already typed as Mock<IAgentTaskService['registerTask']>, and AgentTask exposes description. The casts only suppress the optional-call check and narrow AgentTask | undefined to SubagentTask. Capture the typed argument directly and assert task?.description instead. Repeat this change at all three locations. A missing call still fails the assertion because undefined does not equal the expected description.
