Display real-time costs of your session at the bottom of the Goose Desktop window.

To enable live cost tracking:
1. Click `⚙️` in the upper right corner
2. Click `Advanced Settings`
3. Scroll to `App Settings` and toggle `Cost Tracking` on or off.

The session cost updates dynamically as tokens are consumed. Hover over the cost to see a detailed breakdown of token usage. If multiple models are used in the session, this includes a cost breakdown by model. Ollama and local deployments always show a cost of $0.00.

Pricing data is regularly fetched from the OpenRouter API and cached locally. The `Advanced Settings` tab shows when the data was last updated and allows you to refresh.

These costs are estimates only, and not connected to your actual provider bill. The cost shown is an approximation based on token counts and public pricing data. No newline at end of file

hmm is this feature only available in the UI and not the CLI? Right now, it looks like these are the instructions for CLI and UI..the way it's set up. We can put this within the tab and say this feature isn't currently available in CLI .

Yes it's only available for the UI. I'll add tabs and make that clear.

I pulled "token usage" and "cost tracking" out into their own sections to make the TOC clearer.

Thank you! This makes it look like the CLI has this feature though so i think we should change that.
