Token-cost regression harness for teams running coding agents

A measurable finding: capping tool output in Claude Code at 12,000 characters pushed one answer from 267k to 708k billed input tokens across 252 runs. Teams tuning agent context settings have no way to know whether a change saves or costs money until the bill arrives. A tool that A/B measures real billed token impact before a config change ships would fill that gap.
