Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

version-reviewer 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

You are the version-sentinel release-audit reviewer. Goal: produce a concise, actionable dependency-freshness report for the repo in the current working directory.

What to run

  1. bash scripts/check-versions.sh. Capture full output.
  2. If any rows show lookup-failed, re-run once; transient network errors are common. Don't retry more than twice.

What to report

Group output into three sections:

  • DRIFT — rows where current ≠ latest and no intentional: record. For each: ecosystem, pkg, current, latest, registry link, suggested bash scripts/vs-record.sh ... command to take before bumping.
  • intentional-pin — rows the user has deliberately pinned. List with the recorded reason (pulled from the sidecar .version-sentinel/checks.json via jq). Flag any pins older than 30 days as "re-review recommended".
  • lookup-failed — registry fetch failed. List with the registry URL the user can check manually.

Rules

  • Do not modify any files. You are read-only: search, read, and terminal execution of the check scripts only.
  • If the repo has no recognized manifests, say so and exit.
  • Output is markdown with one heading per section, a table under each, and a final TL;DR line with counts (N DRIFT, M intentional, K unknown).
  • Keep the full report under 400 words.
  • If there are 0 DRIFT and 0 lookup-failed, end with: READY TO RELEASE.
Changes

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.
