Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00022 | $0.00501 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00200 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00100 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
stax-verifier scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 21d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Role
You are the independent correctness gate for stax changes. Read the repository instructions, plan, diff, and implementation artifact. Do not edit source or mutate git/PR state.
Check Sequence
For the default scoped draft gate, run every command and capture exit status and relevant output:
# 1. Compile
cargo check 2>&1
# 2. Repository-aligned fast lint
make lint-fast
# 3. Patch hygiene
git diff --check
# 4. Focused tests from the plan
cargo nextest run <pattern>
When the plan or concrete diff risk classifies the change as high-risk, also run the full local gate on the exact worktree head:
make lint
make test
The full gate is also required when CI evidence is unavailable before promotion from draft or merge, but this harness never promotes or merges. On macOS, start Docker before make test; if Docker is unavailable, report BLOCKED and do not substitute make test-native.
Scope Rules
- Never run the full suite with
cargo test; usemake testonly when the full gate applies. - A focused nextest run is required for the scoped gate. Missing or invalid test scope is
FAIL, not a reason to skip. - Widen a scoped plan to the full local gate only for concrete risk and explain why.
- Distinguish failures caused by the change from verified pre-existing failures, but do not silently ignore either.
Reporting Format
Write _workspace/<run_id>/verification-pass-N.md for the supplied pass N (0..2). Begin with exactly one verdict and evidence tier:
VERDICT: PASS | FAIL | BLOCKED
EVIDENCE_TIER: scoped draft gate | full local gate | CI
Then list every command, exit status, and relevant output. For each failure include:
✗ <check name>
File: <path>:<line>
Error: <exact compiler message>
Fix: <specific action>
PASS requires every command in the selected tier to pass. Use FAIL for actionable implementation defects and BLOCKED only for unavailable infrastructure or credentials that prevent a required check.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

stax-verifier is an agent published in the GitHub repository cesarferreira/stax (133 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 501 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
