Delivery Context

Closes GVM-357

Problem And Outcome

LLM calls previously recorded token usage with a zero token charge, and deployments could not fund internal-message fees from their balance because the constructor had not yet written the stored permission bit

  1. Charge provider-reported total tokens at 1/4 time unit per 1,000 tokens by default, with a per-model meta.time_units_per_1k_tokens rational-string override
  2. Calculate the GEN-wei charge with exact rational arithmetic and round the final total upward; preserve zero charging when genPerTimeUnit is absent or zero and reject invalid model rates before calling the provider
  3. Grant contract-owned balance-fee permission during deployment; subsequent calls continue to require the stored permission bit

Includes the executor revision, updated permission specifications, token-pricing documentation, and integration goldens for deployment success and later-call rejection

Validation

  • ninja -C build all/bin passed
  • ./support/ci/run.sh pipeline commit-hooks passed for the manager and both executor lines
  • Real Lua dispatch with config-shaped fixtures and fake local HTTP providers: 6 tests passed, covering default pricing, rational precision, rounding, metadata overrides, and invalid rates
  • Stable v0.3 balance-fee integration selection: 96 cases passed, including leader, validator, and sync paths
  • Sphinx build passed with an unrelated missing-favicon warning
  • Independent reviews found no defects in the LLM pricing or deployment-permission changes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added default LLM token-based billing using provider-reported token counts.
    • Supports configurable per-model rates, rational values, and zero-cost configurations.
    • Invalid billing rates are rejected before provider execution, while missing pricing data results in no charge.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified token charge calculations and rounding behavior.
    • Documented that deployments receive all permissions, including permission to use balance for message fees.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The default Lua policy now charges for provider-reported LLM tokens using configurable rational rates, host pricing, and ceiling rounding. Documentation describes token charges and deployment permission handling. The executor submodule reference also changed.

Changes

Token charging and permissions

Layer / File(s) Summary
LLM token charging
install/config/genvm-llm-default.lua, docs/website/src/impl-spec/03-greyboxing/index.rst, executors/v0.3.x
The Lua policy reads meta.time_units_per_1k_tokens, defaults to 1/4, validates non-negative rational values, and rounds token charges up. The documentation describes the formula and edge cases. The executor submodule pointer was updated.
Deployment permission semantics
docs/website/src/spec/03-vm/02-meta-properties.rst, docs/website/src/spec/04-contract-interface/03-storage.rst
The documentation states that deployments receive all permissions and that other loads read the stored permission bitfield.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 827c3

The implementation is consistent, but the startup documentation could mislead integrators about deployment permissions. Correcting the specification is straightforward.

Correct the startup permission rule.

The storage wording is valid. “Every permission in it” refers to the complete contract-owned permission set represented by the field, not only the bits set in storage. The unconditional rule in docs/website/src/spec/03-vm/02-meta-properties.rst is also correct for v0.3.

The conflict is in docs/website/src/spec/03-vm/01-startup.rst. Its startup and Initial Entry rules say that can_use_balance_for_message_fees is read from the root slot even for the deployment runner. State that deployment receives every contract-owned permission unconditionally, while non-deployment loads read the permission bitfield from the root slot.
