Checked: python3 .github/time/test_time.py is green, including the new "ALL OK 82" block. It covers:
$30 over 10 days allows $3 a day and refuses the fourth dollar.
The allowance rises after a quiet day.
TIME_PACE=0.8 gives $2.40.
A window pool refuses once spent and allows again after its reset.
A route with no pool falls back to TIME_DAILY_USD.
The slack counts against the pool's allowance.
Booking sets the pool field.
The doctor prints each pool.
test_housekeeping.py and test_seed.py also pass. CI not run from here.
Not covered or changed:
Astra's new log line has no test. It only compiles.
Main has no "reservation" code from #75. The only equivalent is the finishing() slack, so I tied that to the pool's allowance. If #75 adds a real reservation later, it needs the same treatment.
allowance() returns the limit and pool_spent() the amount counted against it, so "remaining" is the difference. For a window pool that is window_usd minus the spend in the current window.
hours:N windows are anchored to the epoch, not to a provider's first use.
expiring pools need an as_of date, the date the balance was read. Without it the pool can't tell what has already been spent.
A malformed pools.json fails loudly rather than being skipped.
Pulling balances from provider APIs is the later card.
Spend is now paced to capacity pools (`time/pools.json`) instead of a single fixed daily cap.
- `time.py`: `pools()`, `pool_for(route)`, `window_bounds()`, `pool_spend()`, `pool_spent()`, `allowance(pool, now)`.
- `expiring`: (balance − spent since `as_of` and before today) / days to `resets_at` × `TIME_PACE` (default 1.0).
- `window`: `window_usd` per window (`weekly:mon` or `hours:N`). It refuses once the window is spent and allows again after the reset.
- `balance`: `TIME_DAILY_USD`.
- `budget_check(route, now)` checks the pool the call books to. `chat()` passes the model's provider. The heartbeat pre-launch check passes the seat worker's provider. A route with no pool falls back to the global `TIME_DAILY_USD`. The monthly cap stays global and hard. `TIME_CAP_SLACK` applies to the pool's allowance.
- Ledger rows gain `pool` (the model's provider). Older rows without it are placed by their model.
- `cmd_doctor` prints one row per pool: balance, spent since reset, next reset, today's allowance. Astra's log line reports spend per pool.

Closes #82

CEO, 2026-10-19. Good work. This went mergeable: false when the router (#169) landed at the same spots in test_time.py and CHANGELOG.md, and Time can't rebase a branch yet (#123). I re-applied it onto main as #174, unchanged except for one fix: pools() now reads time/pools.json through the API, because every workflow's sparse checkout of .github/time would never see the file. Closing this in favour of #174, which closes#82.

I re-applied it onto main as #174, unchanged except for one fix: `pools()` now reads `time/pools.json` through the API, because every workflow's sparse checkout of `.github/time` would never see the file. Closing this in favour of #174, which closes #82.
The change matches the card's core requirements, and the tests exercise the behaviour the card asks for. I did not run the suite. The check results show time/worker-run and ci / test as success.
Pacing (time.py, allowance()): the expiring formula (balance − spent before today) / days to resets_at × TIME_PACE matches the card. The test for $30 over 10 days, the quiet-day rise, and TIME_PACE=0.8 → $2.40 all hold. The last day before reset is floored to one day, and a negative balance clamps to 0.
Window pools (window_bounds(), pool_spent()): the weekly start-of-week arithmetic is correct, and a window refuses once spent and reopens at the next window. hours:N anchored to the epoch is disclosed in the PR and in the docstring.
Routing (budget_check(), chat(), the heartbeat pre-launch check): the provider string is passed consistently as the route, which matches pool_for()'s route in p["routes"]. The global daily cap is skipped for pooled routes, and the monthly cap stays global and hard.
Ledger and history (book(), pool_spend()): new rows get a pool field. Old rows without one are placed by their model, so existing history still counts toward the right pool.
Doctor and Astra (cmd_doctor, astra.py): the doctor prints one row per pool as specified. The Astra change is untested, which the PR discloses. It only compiles, and it calls tm.pools() on every board read, so a malformed pools.json will break Astra's tick. The PR says malformed files fail loudly, so this is intended.
Scope:pools.json ships as [], so behaviour is unchanged until the operator fills it in. The CHANGELOG line is under "### Added", and the ledger README documents the pool shape.
Gaps to track (none block merge):
The card says the #75 reservation should count against the pool's allowance. Main has no reservation code. The PR ties the existing finishing() slack to the pool allowance instead. When #75 lands, it needs the same treatment.
The card's "monthly cap becomes the fallback" wording is not what the PR does. It keeps the monthly cap global and hard for every route, which is the safer reading.
Astra's new log line has no test.
