Summary

  • Banner headline: "Enforced before every model call" -> "Checked before every model call". "Enforced" implies a uniform hard block; what actually happens is a check against accumulated run spend, with the configured policy (halt, shrink, swap model) deciding the outcome.
  • Hero tagline: "checking the run's budget before every call" -> "checking what the run has already spent before every call", to make explicit it's checking accumulated spend, not a static limit.

"Enforced" implies every over-budget call gets hard-blocked, but the
actual behavior is: TokenOps checks what the run has already spent
against the budget and configured policy before each call, and the
policy decides what happens next (halt, shrink the prompt, swap
models). "Checked" is what's actually true; "Enforced" overclaims.
Also makes the hero tagline explicit that it's checking accumulated
spend, not just a static limit, to match.

"Checked" only implies observation, not action. TokenOps actually
acts on the check (halt, shrink, swap model), and "governed" is
already the project's own vocabulary elsewhere (the demo gif is a
"governed run", core-features calls out "Governance, out of the
box"), so it's consistent, accurate, and has more teeth than
"checked" without overclaiming like "enforced" did.
