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

hvtracker CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 25d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

HVTracker (hvtracker.net) — AI-agent trust registry (HVTrust scores, grades A–D). FastAPI + static-site generator, deployed on Railway. This file is the session bootstrap: trust it instead of re-discovering the repo; verify only what you change. Milestone history lives in docs/changelog.md — record new milestones there.

Hard rules

  • One task = one branch = one PR off latest main. main is PR-only, squash-merge (linear history). main == production (since #225).
  • Merging ≠ deploying. Deploy only when the owner says so, only from main, following the runbook below. Never run mutating railway commands otherwise.
  • Never hand-edit generated output (agents/, ecosystem/, org/, data/, sitemap.xml, index.html, blog/, compare/*-vs-*/, changes/) — change the generator + re-render.
  • Never change production rank without an evidence gate (upset review); scoring changes ship as separate visible slices, never silent reweights.
  • No <title>/meta-description changes except as a deliberate, measured SEO batch (the #114 churn lesson).
  • Monetization on hold (visa): no billing/paid-tier code.
  • output/history/*.json daily snapshots are irreplaceable IP — never delete. A snapshot that must not be compared against goes in PARTIAL_SNAPSHOT_DATES (fetch_and_build.py, mirrored in app.py).

Gates — every PR, all green

./scripts/gates.sh
  • Runs ruff → pytest → --render-only → validate_html.py with the .venv interpreter (bare python isn't on PATH; system python3 lacks the deps), then restores the artifacts the render churns (data/render_state.json, og-v2.png, scorecard-cache.json) unless they were already dirty.
  • CI runs the same on every PR (the render smoke too, unless MCP-only), plus compileall, pip-audit and shellcheck.
  • A local render reports a board-churn invariant violation by design; check production's /data/build_report.json, not the local one.
  • Tests need no Postgres (db.py falls back to agents.json); conftest sets HVT_BOOT_REFRESH=0 so app startup never spawns real refreshes under pytest.
  • tests/test_predeploy_check.py fails the PR if a runtime module or BASE_DIR asset isn't COPY'd by the Dockerfile (it copies by filename).

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.
