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 | $0.00335 | $0.00335 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00134 | $0.00134 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00067 | $0.00067 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00034 | $0.00034 |
Grade A, and why
rosetta manual-version-bump.instructions.md 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 22d 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
Manual version bump, on every channel
release.yml has no job that bumps package.json's version or promotes CHANGELOG.md's [Unreleased] heading — the old bump-version job (blind PATCH + 1, auto-committed to main) was removed because it couldn't reason across release channels (then latest/alpha/beta/rc; now latest/next, #152).
- Do not add back a CI step that writes
package.json'sversionfield or editsCHANGELOG.mdand commits/pushes the result. Every version bump, on every channel, is a deliberate human edit before dispatchingRelease. - The workspace-only rewrite in "Determine npm release channel" (appending
$GITHUB_RUN_NUMBERto a prerelease version) is not an exception to this rule — it is never committed, exists only for the duration of the run, and does not touchCHANGELOG.md. - The backstops for a forgotten bump are the existing npm preflight ("already published" check) and the "Verify CHANGELOG promotion for latest-channel release" step — both fail loudly. Keep failures loud; do not paper over a missing bump by falling back to auto-generating one in CI.
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.
