cost control is a policy problem - we certainly don't need to use opus 4.6 for a simple test refactor, but many people (including myself) default to it anyways. we need a way to measure cost / performance for agents on individual repos, with individual types of tasks, to get a better sense of what tasks can be trusted to cheaper agents, and what tasks must be routed to the SOTA

But cost control is not an entirely policy problem. Policies are just guidelines.
