One Catalog for Every Model

· claude-view team

Model metadata was scattered. Pricing lived in one file, context windows in another, display names in a third. When Anthropic shipped a new model, you had to update multiple places — and if you missed one, cost calculations silently drifted.

v0.19.0 consolidates everything into a unified model catalog.

What changed

Every model now has a single entry that declares its pricing tiers, context window, capabilities, and display metadata. The catalog is the sole authority — cost calculations, model selectors, and insights all read from the same source.

This means:

  • Accurate cost tracking for all Claude models, including cache pricing tiers
  • One place to update when new models ship
  • Consistent metadata across the dashboard, activity page, and session detail views

A subtle bug: if you ran Claude Code sessions after starting the claude-view server, the sidebar could show the same project twice — once with 2 sessions, once with 1,296. The root cause was interesting.

The indexer resolves git_root (the repository root path) for each session so that worktree sessions group under their parent repo. But the resolution only used path pattern matching (/.worktrees/ markers). Sessions at the actual repo root — the common case — got None. A startup backfill caught historical gaps via git rev-parse, but sessions indexed after the backfill ran accumulated with a missing git_root. The grouping query fell through to a sanitized project ID, creating a separate entry with the same display name.

The fix: call git rev-parse --git-common-dir inline during indexing when path-based inference returns nothing. One subprocess call per project, ~5ms. The startup backfill continues to handle historical data.
