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

smoke-real-home 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.

What it actually says

Run the read-mostly smoke against the current machine's Alcove Home.

This reads ~/.alcove and rebuilds only the derived dashboard snapshot. It must not create, archive, refresh network connectors, or mutate user records.

Command:

repo="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)"
cd "$repo"
ALCOVE_REAL_SMOKE_REPORT_DIR=.tmp/real-home-smoke scripts/smoke-real-home.sh

Report:

  • pass/fail
  • summary counts from .tmp/real-home-smoke/real-home-smoke-report.json
  • any failed check name and artifact path

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.
