DebateTranscript.metadata is a dict populated by the orchestrator after a debate completes. All keys are optional — their presence depends on how the debate was run.

​
stats

Always present. Contains aggregate token and cost data. 
{
  "total_tokens": 8432,
  "total_cost_usd": 0.0124,
  "per_model": {
    "claude": {
      "tokens": 2100,
      "input_tokens": 320,
      "output_tokens": 1780,
      "calls": 2,
      "cost_usd": 0.0031
    },
    "gpt": { "..." : "..." }
  },
  "convergence": {}
}
total_cost_usd is null if pricing data was unavailable for any model. convergence is reserved for future analysis.

​
resolved_config

Always present. Records the effective configuration for the debate — useful for reproducing results. 
{
  "panel": ["claude", "gpt", "gemini", "grok"],
  "synthesizer": "claude",
  "rounds": 1,
  "routing": { "default_mode": "auto", "claude": "direct" },
  "providers": ["openrouter", "anthropic"]
}

​
scores

Present when --ground-truth was used. 
{
  "ground_truth": "The correct answer is X",
  "judge_model": "claude",
  "synthesis_score": {
    "accuracy": 4,
    "completeness": 5,
    "overall": 4.5,
    "explanation": "The response correctly identified the key factors...",
    "judge_model": "claude"
  }
}

​
experiment

Present when ExperimentMetadata is attached via the Python API. Used to link debates to research experiments across CounterSignal and CounterAgent. 
{
  "experiment_id": "study-2-run-001",
  "source_tool": "countersignal",
  "campaign_id": "cs-campaign-abc",
  "condition": "payload injected via IPI",
  "variables": { "technique": "unicode_tag", "model": "claude" },
  "finding_ref": "MD-003"
}

​
panelist_context

Present when per-panelist context was injected via the Python API. 
{
  "claude": "CONTEXT: [injected payload text]",
  "gpt": "CONTEXT: [different payload text]"
}

​
source_transcript_id / replay_config

Present on replay transcripts only. 
{
  "source_transcript_id": "a1b2c3d4-...",
  "replay_config": {
    "synthesizer_override": "gpt",
    "additional_rounds": 2
  }
}
