 | `core/src/host/usage.js` | Usage ledger at `$DSH_HOME/bot/usage.sqlite` (`calls`). Ledger v3 (#903): every row carries `harness`, `issue_pr`, `tool_calls`, `wall_ms`, plus existing token columns (`withUsageFields` / `missingUsageFields`). Session turns are metered via `foldCalls` over turn events (`tool/call` count, wall time from attempt start, `issuePr` from turn text or `rt.noteUsageIssuePr(sessionId, ref)`), not from llm/stream alone. A triage tier is stamped with `rt.noteUsageHarness(sessionId, idOrLabels)` and lands on the row's `harness` field; the resume cursor (`marks.fold`) stays provider / model / retry. Sample row fixture: `core/test/fixtures/usage-sample.sqlite`. Tests: `core/test/usage-fields.test.js`, `core/test/usage.test.js`. |
 | `core/src/host/tool-schema.js` | The tool definitions the model sees: its `defineTool` wraps DSH's and completes the compiled schema with `explicitObjectShape`, which fills `properties: {}` and `required: []` on every object node (recursing through `properties`, `items`, `oneOf`/`anyOf`/`allOf`, `$defs`, …). A strict OpenAI-compatible gateway reads an absent member as null and rejects the whole request (`null is not of type "array"`), so one argument-less tool would break every turn; argument validation keeps using DSH's schema unchanged. Every host module registers tools through this wrapper. Tests: `core/test/tool-schema.test.js`. |

Three states rather than a boolean because a writer has to tell "nothing there, create it" from "a link or a file, refuse"; a reader only tests `=== 'real'`. Both shells share one predicate (`lstat` + `isDirectory()` + `!isSymbolicLink()`), so the rule is written once; `#2056` and `#2057` consume it instead of a fourth hand-rolled copy. The leaf door is the same question asked of a file a writer appends to or truncates ([#2079](https://github.com/ThinkFlowLab/FlyBot/issues/2079)): `fileKind(path)` / `fileKindSync(path)` answer `real` (a plain file carrying one name), `absent` (nothing at that path) or `other` (a link, a hard link whose bytes are another name's, a directory, a non-directory parent, or a check that could not run). Since [#2159](https://github.com/ThinkFlowLab/FlyBot/issues/2159) the leaf door and the temporary name a write lands through share one predicate, so the two answers for the same file cannot disagree (`nlink === 1` in both); the five callers today are all writers — the readers ask `dirKind` — so a hard link refuses the write and never turns a snapshot's file into an unreadable one.
