D7 mirror candidate (p) `to_ore`, measured offline with the mutation harness.
`to_ore` does not exist here (0 of 80 .py files in src+tests; positive control:
`unit_cost` found in 19). Our money axis is the accumulated USD spend, and its
conversion is the rounding to six decimals — present in FOUR literal copies with
no named source (run.py:159, run_s10.py:110 and :130, costsim.py:125) while the
share rounding one file over DOES have one (`_SHARE_DIGITS`). The sibling's drift
form is present.
Three of the four copies are never executed: replacing the whole expression with
`999.0` left all 984 green at each. Their green under a detach was never evidence
about the rounding — it was "not measured" (ansikt 4 on the apparatus). The
default branch WAS pinned; the value branch was not.
The one path that decides with the cost — the C3.5 pre-call USD belt — is a
permanent no-op: `max_cost_usd` is set in 0 of 27 src modules (positive control:
`max_budget_usd_per_call` is found by the same scan). The gate is built; no path
hands it a cap.
Seven mutations, all VALUE-PROVED with collateral controls green in both runs.
No src change: folding the copies is a refactor, wiring the run-total cap is a
feature. The tests pin today's boundary so neither lands silently.
984 -> 997 (strict superset, 0 lost node ids).
