 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+
+- **`agy` dispatches now report real token usage instead of always `null`.** All twelve `agy-*` `edit_exists`/`read_only` transports now pass `--output-format json` and declare `usage_from` (`lib/cli-usage.js`'s existing structured-output interpreter already documented and tested this exact envelope shape — `{"status","response","usage":{"input_tokens","output_tokens","cache_read_tokens"}}` — but no registry entry had ever wired it up). Verified live against `agy` 1.2.0 that this composes correctly with the print-timeout `failure_markers` fix below: the JSON envelope goes to stdout and the print-timeout notice to stderr as two separate streams, so the marker still forces a failure on a non-blank stdout, and the parsed usage (zero, on that path) still comes through rather than being lost to a raw-JSON fallback.
+
 ### Fixed
 
 - **`agy`'s own print-timeout watchdog exiting 0 was scored as a success.** `agy --print-timeout` firing mid-turn writes `[agy] print timeout after <duration> with turn in progress; returning partial output` to stderr and exits 0 regardless of whether the turn produced anything — confirmed live against `agy` 1.2.0. When the model had streamed some visible prose before the cutoff, that non-blank stdout was enough for the existing empty-run guard to wave the run through: `agy-claude-opus-4-6-thinking` and `agy-gpt-oss-120b-medium` were each logged `outcome:"success"` after running ~486s (within seconds of the registry's `--print-timeout 8m`) with no file changed. The `failure_markers` mechanism already exists for exactly this class (see `kiro`'s "Monthly request limit reached"); the agy family's six registry entries just never declared one. All twelve `agy-*` `edit_exists`/`read_only` transports now declare `failure_markers: ["with turn in progress; returning partial output"]`, so a print-timeout with nothing to show for it is a failure — a genuine partial edit made before the cutoff is untouched, since `hasSubstantiveOutput` still wins when real files changed.
