Adds a new ## Costs section summarizing observed LLM costs based on maintainer testing (~82 requests, 246k tokens). Includes a stats table (avg, 95th percentile, peak), a token breakdown table, and a key insight explaining that output tokens drive ~50% of cost despite being only 17% of volume. Includes a disclaimer that figures are based on personal testing. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Raf7fKQax1GZEFoYUsGyxD
Drops the "Key insight" paragraph from ## Costs per feedback. Adds a new ## Roadmap section covering two planned items: - Multiple preview URL / starting point support - GitHub App for lower-friction installation https://claude.ai/code/session_01Raf7fKQax1GZEFoYUsGyxD
