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

asc-testflight-orchestration 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 5d 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.

Release and TestFlight Workflow

Quick path: Adding testers to an existing build

If the user only asks to add/invite a beta tester (NOT build + upload), skip the full workflow. Follow these steps in exact order:

# 1. Check if there are any builds available
asc builds list --app "APP_ID" --limit 3 --output json

If NO builds exist: Tell the user they need to upload a build first. Offer to run the full build+upload workflow (Step 1-9 below). Do NOT add testers without a build.

If builds exist: Continue with external testing below.

Adding a beta tester (external testing)

External testing works for any email — the tester does NOT need to be an App Store Connect team member. However, external testing requires Beta App Review before the tester can install.

# 2. List existing external groups, or create one
asc testflight beta-groups list --app "APP_ID" --output json
asc testflight beta-groups create --app "APP_ID" --name "Beta Testers"

# 3. Assign the latest build to the external group
asc builds add-groups --build "BUILD_ID" --group "GROUP_ID"

# 4. Add the tester to the group (works for any email)
asc testflight beta-testers add --app "APP_ID" --email "[email protected]" --group "Beta Testers"

Now you MUST ask the user for confirmation before submitting for Beta App Review. Say:

"I've added [email protected] to the Beta Testers group. To complete the invitation, this build needs to be submitted for Beta App Review (Apple reviews it, typically < 24 hours). Once approved, the tester will automatically receive a TestFlight invitation email. Shall I submit for Beta App Review?"

Wait for the user's response. Only proceed if they confirm:

# 5. Submit for Beta App Review (only after user confirms)
asc testflight review submit --build "BUILD_ID" --confirm

# 6. Check review status
asc testflight review submissions list --build "BUILD_ID"

Do NOT call asc testflight beta-testers invite for external testers — it will fail with "Tester has no installable build" until Beta App Review is approved. Once approved, the tester automatically receives the invitation.

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.
