Description

Problem

rtk ls internally runs ls -la to get file metadata for grouping/filtering, then compresses the output. The savings % is tracked against the ls -la output, not plain ls (which is what the agent would have run without RTK).

This inflates the reported savings. Example from user report:

  • ls = 332 tokens
  • ls -la = 4173 tokens
  • rtk ls = 993 tokens
  • Reported: 76.2% savings (vs ls -la)
  • Actual: -199% vs plain ls

Fix

Track against the baseline command the agent would have run (ls), not the internal enriched command (ls -la).

In src/ls.rs line 113-118, change the tracking input from the ls -la raw output to a plain ls capture (or estimate).
