Bounded calibration-pilot release for transparent local-first coding-agent routing.

On six calibration tasks, local-first reduced observed hosted inference cost by 45.56% versus the paired Sonnet 4.6 cloud-only condition, while resolving 2/6 tasks versus 3/6. This triggered a no-go for the original confirmatory design.

This release contains calibration evidence, not a population estimate or a general claim that local-first routing is inferior. It preserves valid and invalidated evidence, frozen treatment metadata, analysis, the pilot manuscript, and reproducibility tooling.
