CAROL-INI-3894-00: An initiative's actual cost is an ESTIMATE presented as a measurement: one derivation, from the ledger that records spend
MEASURED, not suspected. Across the Orion bypass execution book, 1,633 costed runs carry only FOUR distinct values: 0.56 (x1431), 0.10 (x116), 0.03 (x50), 0.20 (x36). Those are ex\u2026

CAROL-INI-3862-00: Work-unit measurement re-reads the whole cost ledger for every unit: one shared incremental day-scan must serve every unit and every report in a composition
Raised by Ninad (2026-08-15): Clara's chat still hits 504 Gateway Timeout and the window's timeout message is very common, even after 3838's composed-text cache (in review; its 30\u2026

CAROL-INI-3838-00: Agent chat turns outgrew every timeout: the per-call status report is rebuilt from a growing ledger, and the chat door blocks its own app while it waits
Raised by Ninad (2026-08-14 late session): Clara's internal chat times out; the window says the agent is still working but the reply never appears. Measured root causes, both conf\u2026

CAROL-INI-3816-00: Agent escalations reach the operator: the Mind's escalate action sends an Agentbook message to Orion, and the board and session-start surface the unread count
Clara escalated twice (the SST Scanner repeat-failure family on 2026-08-10, and the never-ran at-010/stw-010 family on 2026-08-02) and both escalations exist ONLY as rows in her o\u2026

Ninad ruling (CLI-243, 2026-08-12): the agent-chat service is served by coding-agent INSTANCES, not API chat completions - a subscribed external user talking to Leo in the Leo Cha\u2026

CAROL-INI-3754-00: Agent Wakeup Handbook app (owner Athena): every agents wake duties, its whitelist, wake costs ranked, and the week of wake actions
Ninad 2026-08-10: a new app, Agent Wakeup Handbook, owned by Athena (agent-resources). It tells the tasks each conscious agent performs during its wake cycle — the common duties (\u2026

CAROL-INI-3749-00: Token Cost Tracker: double the Daily Spend chart height and count worked initiatives across all lanes
Two defects on the Daily Spend (last 14d) stacked-by-subscription chart. (1) The chart canvas is 240px tall; with the current spend scale the stacked bars are too small to read -\u2026

CAROL-INI-3726-00: Service Tracker: track cards 3-up, services as outside headers, sorted by daily budget
Ninad (2026-08-07): (1) tracks render as CARDS, three per row; (2) the service is OUTSIDE the cards — a section header above its tracks, not a box containing rows; (3) ordering is\u2026
