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

cancel 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.

What it actually says

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/codex-companion.ts" cancel --args-stdin <<'STEREO_ARGS_Q7X2'
$ARGUMENTS
STEREO_ARGS_Q7X2

Use --workspace <path> to cancel jobs recorded against another repository root, such as the main workspace used by a worktree-isolated /stereo:implement --isolated or /stereo:tournament run.

Present the rendered # Stereo Cancel result verbatim without summarizing it, including every warning and path it prints: a Stored job file is unreadable: warning; a Job <id> already finished (<status>); nothing to cancel. line, which is not an error — point to /stereo:result <id> for its output; and a warning naming a process the cancel could not confirm stopped, which the user ends themselves.

Relay these failure paths exactly and follow each with a direction to run /stereo:status:

  • No active job found for "<ref>".
  • Job reference "<ref>" is ambiguous. Use a longer job id.
  • Multiple companion jobs are active. Pass a job id to /stereo:cancel.
  • No active companion jobs to cancel for this session. A job owned by another session is cancelled by its explicit id; also direct the user to /stereo:status --all.
  • No active companion jobs to cancel.

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.
