v1.19.0 -- model tier economics layer
Ported the model-tier + cost-monitoring economics layer from copilot-rpi v1.16.0, adapted to Claude Code.
Added
- Model tier economics layer. Added a
haikufloor tier alongsideopus/sonnetand gave every command an explicitModel tierline./statusand/describe-prnow run on the floor;/research,/plan,/pre-launchstay frontier; the rest run mid-tier. methodology/cost-monitoring.md. Four cost pools, model tiers as the primary lever, access tiers, cost-per-outcome measurement, and cost-tied approval gates. Reading order now 12 files.- Cost-report scheduled agent (runs on the floor tier) that turns Claude Code / Anthropic API usage exports into cost-per-outcome numbers and flags tier drift.
- Rule #74 (Pin a model tier to every workflow) and Rule #75 (Measure cost per outcome before betting beyond the floor) under a new "Cost & Models" section. Now 75 rules.
- GUIDE "Model Tiers at a Glance" table.
Changed
context-engineering.md"Model Selection" rewritten -- replaced the generic guidance that contradicted the per-command tier lines with the 3-tier system, a tier-to-Claude-model binding table, subagent tier-inheritance, and an override-upward-never-silently-downward rule.
