Cost Report

Summarize local Claude Code spend by day, model, and session from the metrics log that ECC's stop:cost-tracker hook writes.

Where the data lives

The tracker appends one JSON object per session-stop to ~/.claude/metrics/costs.jsonl. Each row is a cumulative snapshot for that session, so the report takes the latest row per session_id and sums across sessions (summing every row would multiply-count).

Row schema: { timestamp, session_id, transcript_path, model, input_tokens, output_tokens, cache_write_tokens, cache_read_tokens, estimated_cost_usd }

What this command does

1. Check that ~/.claude/metrics/costs.jsonl exists. If it does not, tell the user the tracker is not set up yet (it populates after the first session ends with the stop:cost-tracker hook enabled).
2. Reduce rows to the latest snapshot per session and aggregate.
3. Present a compact report, or export recent rows as CSV when the argument is csv.

node is used instead of sqlite3/jq so this works identically on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
