feat(anthropic): cache-aware estimateCost + surface cacheRead/CreationInputTokens
Previously estimateCost ignored prompt-cache tier entirely and just charged input_tokens × base rate. For cached workloads this: - under-counted cache_creation_input_tokens (should be 1.25× base) - silently dropped cache_read_input_tokens (should be 0.10× base) Net effect: a caching-heavy run's reported cost was ~10-15% below the true billed amount, and the cost telemetry could not show cache savings because it had no visibility into cache usage at all. Fix: - estimateCost now takes optional cacheReadTokens + cacheCreationTokens and bills each at its Anthropic rate (0.10× / 1.25× input price). 5-minute TTL assumed; 1-hour TTL costs 2× but is not distinguishable from response data, so cost slightly under-estimates for long-TTL caches (minor; documented in the estimateCost JSDoc). - ModelCompletionResponse.usage now threads through to generateText's TokenUsage.cacheReadTokens / cacheCreationTokens (generateText.ts changes shipped earlier in this branch). Tests: 6 new tests in AnthropicProvider.cache.test.ts covering the formula, the savings math on a cache-heavy run vs cold run, and the three tier-pricing branches. All 11 cache tests pass.
