Routing savings receipts

What each adopted routing proposal measurably saved. RepoOps routing advice arrives as a reviewable pull request, and each proposal whose PR merged earns a before and after receipt from real measured calls. This is the counter to a router vendor's projected percentage: a dollar figure is published only where a real measured window exists.

Where to find it

  • Retired with Token Diet. The receipts were a section of the Token Diet tab, which the focused navigation retired. The desktop app no longer opens /token-diet.html, and the API below now answers with a retired response.
  • API: the routing-receipts section of GET /api/token-diet; the shareable card at GET /api/token-diet/receipt-card.svg?repo=<id>&pr=<n>
  • Source: lib/routing-receipts.mjs, rendered by lib/routes/token-diet.mjs

The three states, none fabricated

Measured.The real before and after delta, summed over the proposal's surfaces from the same realized-savings findings the Token Diet savings signal already counts. The receipts section only groups those findings per proposal; it never re-measures. A measured receipt whose delta went the wrong way is marked regressed and stays on the page.
Not yet measured.The proposal merged but the after window has not gathered enough calls. The receipt says so, plainly. Never a projection.
Nothing.An unadopted proposal (no merged routing PR) renders no receipt. A proposal nobody merged saved nobody anything.

Adoption evidence

A proposal counts as adopted when the PR stamped on its decision-ledger row resolves to a number in the repo's merged-PR history. The adoption lookback tracks the measurement window back to the oldest finding's decision date (never shorter than 180 days), so an old adopted proposal cannot silently revert to unadopted.

No double count

Every dollar in a receipt is already counted exactly once, by the Token Diet savings signal. Receipts are that total's per-proposal breakdown: the section never enters the verdict decision and never adds to the realized total, and a test asserts the verdict and the total are byte-identical with and without receipts. A regressed receipt stays visible (and the labeled net-of-regressions figure includes its negative), but the verdict downgrade flows from the savings signal that already carries the same finding.

Sharing a receipt

Each receipt row offers Copy receipt (the canonical JSON receipt payload, with a self-describing basis line), Download as JSON, and Card, a link to the SVG receipt card, one shareable image per adopted proposal.
