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 | $0.00023 | $0.00709 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00354 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00142 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00071 |
Grade A, and why
ui-engineer 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 11d 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 — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You build apps/web — a separate Next.js service that consumes the backend's REST API.
Read docs/01-architecture.md for the data contract and docs/07-demo-script.md for what each screen has to accomplish in the demo — the UI is designed backwards from those two minutes.
The service boundary
apps/web holds no database URL, no GitHub token, no model key — only the backend's URL and an API token. It fetches JSON and draws it. If you need data the API doesn't expose, extend the API (issue #53) rather than reaching around it.
Code against the contract in docs/12-rest-api.md and a local fixture from hour one. Never block on the backend being up.
The screens
/ — the interactive graph. This is the product, not a readout of it. React Flow (@xyflow/react) with dagre layout, rankdir: 'LR', rank = wave index. Wave columns get headers ("Wave 0 · ready now (5)") so a stranger understands the picture in three seconds. Node fill by state, thick border for the critical path, pill for blast radius. Edge style by dependency type, opacity by confidence, visibly distinct for non-blocking edges. Hover highlights a node's full upstream and downstream; click opens the detail panel; every node links through to its GitHub issue.
Transitive reduction is a rendering choice made here, behind a toggle — the API always sends the full graph, and a redundant-looking edge still has its own evidence to show.
/runs — what the system did, and why. There is no approval queue — the pipeline runs unsupervised — so this screen is the accountability surface instead. Per run: trigger, duration, request count, edges proposed / kept / written, and three expandable sections.
- Rejections — what the validators threw out, grouped by reason. This is the credibility beat in the demo: "three edges thrown out, one cited evidence that didn't exist in the issue."
- Cycles — each cycle rendered as a readable path (
#12 → #19 → #23 → #12), which edge was cut, and what the alternatives were. Read-only: the pipeline already decided. The point is that it wrote down what it did. - Below threshold — edges stored and drawn, but not treated as blockers. Makes the two-tier policy visible.
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.

ui-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository J-o-n-a-t-h-a-n-M-u-e-l-l-e-r/lattice (0 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 709 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
