Bug Description

Bug Report: Ultrareview crashed with zero findings but still consumed a free credit

Summary

An ultrareview run crashed before producing any findings, yet it still counted
against my free quota. My free usage dropped from 3 of 3 to 2 of 3 for a run
that delivered no output whatsoever. I am requesting the consumed attempt be restored
so my free quota returns to 3 of 3.

What happened

  1. I launched ultrareview on a pull request from the Claude Code CLI.
  2. The launch banner reported: "Free ultrareview 1 of 3."
  3. The run completed but returned only an error instead of findings:

{"error":"Review crashed before producing findings. See session logs for details."}

  1. On the next launch attempt, the banner showed "2 of 3" — confirming the crashed

run had been counted against my free quota.

  1. I cancelled that second attempt to avoid wasting another credit.

Why this is a bug

A review that crashes during execution and produces no findings should not be
billed against a user's free quota. I received zero value from the run — no report,
no partial findings, just a crash error pointing to "session logs."

Likely root cause (for your investigation)

The pull request is very large:

  • 724 changed files
  • +17,968 / −30,382 lines (~48,000 lines touched)

The run most likely hit a diff-size or processing limit and crashed during ingestion.
Two issues worth addressing:

  1. Billing: crashed/errored runs that produce no findings should not consume a credit.
  2. UX: if there is a hard diff-size limit, the CLI should reject the run up front

(and not charge) rather than launching, crashing, and consuming a credit.

Request

Please restore the consumed attempt so my free ultrareview quota returns to 3 of 3.
