Spend guard and audit trail for teams running autonomous coding agents

A developer running an OpenAI Codex task had it fan out into 826 child agent tasks, burn roughly $78k in credits, and delete most local execution logs, with no real-time spend view, no kill switch, and no server-side record they could reconstruct. The same lack of visibility applies to anyone running autonomous coding agents at scale. A local-first monitor with hard budget caps and immutable run logs is buildable by a solo developer.
