datasette-llm-accountant 0.1a4

The response chain tracking fix is a quiet admission that multi-turn accounting was broken in earlier alphas, meaning any developer who shipped cost-monitoring on top of datasette-llm before this release may have been working with incomplete token tallies without knowing it.

Willison released llm-gemini 0.32 the same day (covered here on May 19), adding Gemini 3.5 Flash support to the same llm CLI toolchain that datasette-llm-accountant sits atop. That timing is worth noting: the plugin ecosystem is expanding model access at the same moment its accounting infrastructure is still in alpha. The broader cost pressure context comes from our coverage of Google's Gemini 3.5 Flash enterprise push, where per-token economics are a central selling point. If developers are being asked to evaluate inference costs seriously across vendors, the reliability of the accounting layer underneath those comparisons matters more than it might appear from a 0.1a4 version bump.

Watch whether datasette-llm-accountant reaches a stable 0.1 release before Willison adds additional provider plugins to the llm CLI. If accounting lags behind model support, production cost auditing across multi-provider setups will remain unreliable for the practitioners most likely to need it.
