A run is a set of sessions, one per human prompt, and the AI's time is the sum of its active spans.--- **A session starts at a human prompt.** The first is the `start` command's `--prompt-time` (the paste time of the first prompt). Every follow-up prompt ("add the walkthroughs", "recut the video") is `adom-aiflow prompt --text "..."` (`--at` when you start late).-- **A session ends at the AI's done.** `adom-aiflow done --message "..."` the moment the answer to that prompt is complete. `deliver` is the done of the first task ("done, here is your video").-- **Idle is cut out.** Inside a session, a gap longer than `idleMinutes` (15 by default, in run.json) between two ledger events with no command running is the human away, not the AI thinking; it is subtracted. A command that runs for an hour (a landing) is not idle: its `turn` to `turn-end` covers the gap. A command that died without a turn-end covers up to the next event only.-- **Unmarked follow-ups still count right.** Work after a done with no `prompt` mark becomes its own row ("follow-up, no prompt mark"), and every idle gap inside it starts another row, since a gap there is most likely a new prompt. The row says to mark next time.-- **The benchmark number** is the AI time from the first prompt to `deliver`: the delivery figure on the run page and the chart. Follow-up sessions are listed under Sessions with their own minutes; none of them are in the delivery number.-- **Everything else follows the AI's time.** The per-step table counts only active seconds. The video's run clock ("AI TIME, THIS RUN") is the active seconds from the first prompt to the clip, so a walkthrough recorded the next morning reads as minute 60, not hour 10. A clip recorded entirely while the human was away (a recorder left on) is left out of the video.-- `adom-aiflow sessions` prints the table; `--json` gives the spans.
