S2c / MAJOR-3, order 20260902T151931Z-250257273. The order's rule is MEASURE
FIRST, so the numbers land as their own commit before the seam is touched.
Instrument validated against a known positive before use: it reproduces
commons' own published bundle_context fasit exactly (3 861 / 10 406 / 12 595).
Prompts are measured as text + function_call + function_result -- .text alone
undercounts a prompt whose whole payload is a tool result.
Measured, per CLI --explore run: one read_bundle result rides in FIVE
exploration prompts (navigator 1, manager 3, hypothesiser 1), which is 54-59
percent of every prompt-token in the run. The debate's three copies come from
run.py's okf.bundle_context and are a separate decision; they are in the table
as denominator and as the after-control, never as the target.
One premise felled before building on it: the tunnel base's root index body is
4 763 chars alone, nearly the whole 1 500-token ceiling, so read_bundle carries
the concept listing and not the index body -- which the catalogue already
excerpts and read_file still returns whole.
