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

Novel AGENTS.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 6d 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.

Role Of This File

  • This file is a directory, not an encyclopedia.
  • Read the next linked document only when you need that extra context.
  • Do not treat this file as the final source of truth for refactor status.

First Read Order

  1. ARCHITECTURE.md
  2. docs/harness/README.md
  3. docs/harness/current-focus.md
  4. If the task touches refactor stages, docs/refactor/README.md
  5. If the task touches evidence, rollback, or closeout, follow the linked refactor docs from that control panel

Source Of Truth Priority

  1. Executable repo truth
    • package.json
    • android/settings.gradle
    • android/app/build.gradle
    • .github/workflows/quality-gates.yml
    • current source files and tests
  2. Refactor authority
    • docs/refactor/README.md
    • linked validation boards
    • linked closeout docs
    • docs/refactor/tracking/decision-log.md
    • docs/refactor/tracking/rollback-index.md
  3. Harness memory layer
    • docs/harness/current-focus.md
    • docs/harness/session-log.md
    • docs/harness/generated/workspace-snapshot.md
  4. Secondary docs that may lag
    • root README.md
    • .trae/rules/project_rules.md

Repo Shape

  • React Native app code lives in src/**
  • Android code lives in android/app, android/core-*, android/feature-*, and android/macrobenchmark
  • Jest tests live in __tests__/**
  • Refactor control plane lives in docs/refactor/**
  • Harness control plane lives in docs/harness/**

Task Routing

  • Architecture or boundary questions:
  • "What is happening now?" questions:
  • Stage status, closeout, rollback, decision history:
  • Android module graph:
    • android/settings.gradle
    • docs/refactor/phase-5/module-graph-current-state.md
  • RN bridge contracts:
    • src/utils/bridge/**
    • android/app/src/main/java/com/novel/rn/**

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.
