Problem

• On a new install, the desktop's own GET /v1/models polls counted as requests on its key, so Home showed requests the user never made and treated a new user as a returning one.
• The sidebar chat list ran right up to the balance card.
• A long model name wrapped the composer's pickers onto a second row.

Change

• Gateway: a key's request count (GET /v1/key usage.requests, the console's key list, antseed gateway key usage) counts only calls to a model. The request log still shows every call.
• Desktop: 12px between the chat list and the balance card, a little room after the last chat.
• Desktop: the chat and Home composers stay on one row; the model name ellipsizes, icons and tags keep their size.

Evidence

• apps/cli gateway tests pass (399), incl. a new store test: five model-list reads count 0, one prompt counts 1, the log keeps all 6, and counts hold after pruning. It fails on the old store.ts.
• Checked in the running desktop on a fresh profile and on an existing one.
• Touches money paths: no.

Reviewant Review Summary

Reviewed commit: 73710c8a17 (review 1 of this PR). The branch has moved since: newer commits are not covered by this review.

The PR changes gateway key request counts to include only requests with a recorded model, excluding model-list polling and other model-less reads while retaining them in the request log. The filter applies to both live requests and historical rollups, with a regression test covering pruning. Desktop stylesheet changes keep composer controls on one row, preserve model-picker icons and tags, and add spacing above the sidebar balance card.

• No issues found in the reviewed changes.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge; no verified issues found.

Verified the changed counting functions, their direct callers, request model extraction, and rollup creation; the change preserves historical filtering without altering spend accounting or budget enforcement. The provided CLI test runner completed successfully: 2,238 passed, 3 skipped, and no failures. The full diff contained no dependency, installation, CI, or suspicious hidden-behavior changes. Desktop layout was reviewed through styles and component structure, but not visually exercised.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
apps/cli/src/gateway/store.ts	Filters key request and failure counts by non-null model in both live records and rollups; the existing rollup schema preserves the information needed.
apps/cli/src/gateway/store-data.test.ts	Adds a passing regression test confirming model listings do not count as usage before or after pruning and remain visible in the request log.
apps/desktop/src/renderer/ui/components/ChatListPanel.module.scss	Adds bottom spacing to the chat panel and scrollable list without changing interaction behavior.
apps/desktop/src/renderer/ui/components/chat/ChatModelDropdown.module.scss	Prevents non-label trigger children from shrinking so the model label absorbs constrained width.
apps/desktop/src/renderer/ui/components/views/ChatView.module.scss	Keeps composer metadata on one row and adjusts flex sizing so model and workspace labels can shrink.
apps/desktop/src/renderer/ui/components/views/VprHomeView.module.scss	Removes composer footer wrapping to match the chat composer layout.
apps/website/docs/gateway/api.md	Documents the revised model-call-only meaning of usage.requests.
CHANGELOG.md	Records the gateway counting change and desktop spacing and composer adjustments.
