## 📊 Features in Detail

### Cost Tracking System

**Implementation**:
```python
class CostTracker:
    def __init__(self):
        self.agent_costs = {}  # agent_name -> {'calls': N, 'total_cost': $}
        self.total_cost = 0.0
        self.cache_savings = 0.0

    def track_agent_cost(self, agent_name, cost):
        # Track per-agent metrics

    def calculate_cache_savings(self, cache_hits):
        # Estimate savings from cached calls
```

**Metrics Tracked**:
- Total API cost (USD)
- Cost per agent
- Average cost per call
- Cache savings estimate
- Net cost after savings

### Parallel Execution Monitoring

**Metrics**:
- Maximum concurrent agents
- Parallel execution count
- Estimated speedup (2-4x)
- Agent coordination efficiency

### Enhanced Performance Display

**Before (v1.6.2)**:
```
Performance Metrics:
- Total tool calls: 15
- Cache hits: 10
```

**After (v1.6.3)**:
```
💰 Cost Analysis:
┃ Total cost: $0.3421
┃ Cache savings: $0.0280

## 💡 User Impact

### Better Cost Visibility

**Before**: Users couldn't see where costs were coming from
**After**: Clear breakdown by agent, with cache savings

### Performance Insights

**Before**: No visibility into parallel execution
**After**: See max parallel agents and estimated speedup

### Optimization Guidance

**Insights Provided**:
- Which agents are most expensive?
- How much are cache hooks saving?
- Is parallel execution working?
- What's the cache hit rate?
