# HyperTwist Phase 6R-AA first-party operator-facing provider usage/cost dashboard shell implementation packet

Created on `2026-05-25`

## Status

- first-party HyperTwist packet
- bounded `Phase 6R-AA` implementation slice

## Purpose

This packet lands the next bounded first-party slice above the landed speech
session, microphone-shell, payload-custody, provider-custody,
provider-routing, and normalized usage/cost event seams.

The landed slice is:

- first-party operator-facing provider usage/cost dashboard shell

It is not:

- an actual billing export packet
- an actual charge-settlement packet
- a usage/cost history export packet
- an actual payload-shipping packet
- a real device-permission workflow packet
- a native audio-device route ownership packet
- a provider-specific overlay packet
- a broad assistant-platform packet

## Current authority basis

This implementation packet stands on:

- `docs/ops/HYPERTWIST_PROVIDER_NEUTRALITY_AND_BYOK_DOCTRINE_2026-05-21.md`
- `docs/arch/HYPERTWIST_PHASE6R_AA_FIRST_PARTY_OPERATOR_FACING_PROVIDER_USAGE_COST_DASHBOARD_SHELL_PREPARATION_PACKET_2026-05-25.md`
- `docs/arch/HYPERTWIST_PHASE6R_Z_FIRST_PARTY_NORMALIZED_USAGE_COST_EVENT_MODEL_IMPLEMENTATION_PACKET_2026-05-25.md`

The preserved owners do not change:

- first-party HyperTwist remains the top-level provider/session owner
- first-party HyperTwist remains the usage/cost governance owner
- `ggml-org/whisper.cpp` remains bounded to offline STT donor seams
- `SYSTRAN/faster-whisper` remains bounded to complementary Python
  orchestration/service-lane seams

## Landed scope

The current code now owns a bounded operator-facing dashboard seam through:

- retained recognition contract types for:
  - `FHyperTwistSpeechUsageCostDashboardShellProfile`
  - `FHyperTwistSpeechUsageCostDashboardIssue`
  - `FHyperTwistSpeechUsageCostDashboardShellState`
  - expanded `FHyperTwistSpeechSessionConfig`
  - expanded `FHyperTwistTrainingCompanionSpeechSessionState`
- contract-library defaults for:
  - dashboard shell profile ids and definitions
  - dashboard panel ids and action bindings
  - service-health capability exposure
- active companion session-config and service-health dashboard composition in:
  - `UHyperTwistTrainingSubsystem`
- direct speech-client health capability exposure in:
  - `UHyperTwistHttpSpeechClient`
  - `UHyperTwistMockSpeechClient`
- focused automation coverage in:
  - `HyperTwistWhisperCppPhase6RAAUsageCostDashboardShellContractTest.cpp`

## Why this is still intentionally bounded

This packet lands the operator-facing dashboard shell family only.

Still deferred:

- provider usage/cost history/export shell surfaces
- actual billing export or settlement
- actual downloadable model/payload shipping
- real device-permission workflow
- native audio-device route ownership beyond bounded shell posture
- broad assistant-platform scope

## Validation

Build validation:

- `UnrealHyperTwistEditor Win64 Development`

Focused automation validation:

- `HyperTwist.Permissive.WhisperCpp.Phase6R.AA` `3/3`

Regression automation validation:

- `HyperTwist.Permissive.WhisperCpp.Phase6R.Z` `3/3`
- `HyperTwist.Permissive.WhisperCpp.Phase6R.Y` `3/3`
- `HyperTwist.Permissive.WhisperCpp.Phase6R.X` `3/3`
- `HyperTwist.Permissive.WhisperCpp.Phase6R.W` `3/3`
- `HyperTwist.Permissive.WhisperCpp.Phase6R.V` `3/3`
- `HyperTwist.Permissive.WhisperCpp.Phase6R.U` `3/3`
- `HyperTwist.Permissive.WhisperCpp.Phase6R.E` `3/3`
- `HyperTwist.Permissive.FasterWhisper.Phase6R.F` `3/3`
- `HyperTwist.Permissive.Piper.Phase6R.G` `3/3`
- `HyperTwist.Permissive.Coqui.Phase6R.H` `3/3`
- `HyperTwist.CleanRoom.CubeDesk` `14/14`

Non-blocking warnings stayed limited to the existing Unreal headless/editor
noise, the pre-existing plugin dependency warning on `UnrealMCP`, and the
known `http:/speech/health` and `http:/vision/health` hostname-resolution
warnings in provider-backed automation.

## Queue effect

This packet consumes the current `Phase 6R-AA` implementation slice.

`ggml-org/whisper.cpp` remains only partially incorporated:

- landed now:
  - speech transcript session boundary
  - live microphone shell boundary
  - device-permission and capture-route readiness shell posture
  - downloadable model and payload custody boundary
  - first-party provider-profile and BYOK custody boundary
  - first-party provider routing and workflow-policy boundary
  - first-party normalized usage/cost event-model boundary
  - first-party operator-facing provider usage/cost dashboard shell boundary
    for:
    - dashboard shell profile ids and definitions
    - dashboard issue and shell-state posture
    - companion-session dashboard composition
    - capability exposure for:
      - `providerUsageCostDashboardShell`
      - `providerQuotaEscalationBanner`
      - `providerRouteCostDiagnostics`
- still deferred:
  - provider usage/cost history/export shell surfaces
  - actual downloadable model/payload shipping
  - actual billing export or settlement
  - real device-permission workflow
  - native audio-device route ownership beyond bounded shell posture
  - broad assistant-platform scope

The next clean move is:

- a source-backed `Phase 6R-AB` first-party provider usage/cost history/export
  shell preparation/control pass

Keep the future sequencing guards visible:

- first-party HyperTwist
  - keep the top-level provider/session contract, routing/policy lane,
    usage/cost governance lane, and operator-facing dashboard shell lane
    first-party
- `ggml-org/whisper.cpp`
  - keep code-license judgments separate from actual model or payload shipping
    review in any follow-on packet
- `SYSTRAN/faster-whisper`
  - keep the row complementary to the landed provider/session, custody,
    routing, usage/cost, and dashboard seams rather than widening it into
    usage/cost history/export ownership
