Interesting setup.

The IRC part is neat, but the tiered inference is what stood out.

How do you decide when to escalate from Haiku to Sonnet?

Love the sandboxing design. The A2A passthrough where ironclaw borrows nullclaw's inference pipeline is a neat trick — one API key, one billing relationship. Curious how they are logging the split between Haiku and Sonnet spend per session. Once agents start running at any scale that attribution gets messy fast.
