#### Fork — primary / worker (priced)

| field | value |
| --- | --- |
| Task ID | `2026-10-23T15:08:26-04:00__frontier-dump__thakur-automata-transcendence` |
| Agent / call ID | fork (one of six); harness agent ID not recorded |
| Date | 2026-10-23, America/New_York |
| Model | claude-opus-5-5 (Claude Opus 5.5); effort inherited from caller (low) |
| Tokens | unsplit aggregate ≈212,000 (harness per-subagent total from the completion notification, relayed by the caller, rounded to the nearest thousand; no class split exposed). Assumed split, following this ledger's prior convention: cache-read 190,800 (90%) · input 16,960 (8%) · output 4,240 (2%) · cache write 5m 0 · cache write 1h 0 |
| Source | estimated (class split assumed on the harness aggregate; the aggregate itself is a measured but rounded harness figure) |
| Rates | input 4.00/M · cache write 5m 5.00/M (1.25x) · cache write 1h 8.00/M (2x) · cache read 0.20/M (0.05x, Opus 5.5-specific) · output 20.00/M |
| Rate basis | checked 2026-10-23 at platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing (no effective date published) |
| Cost (USD) | 0.1908 = (190,800×0.20 + 16,960×4.00 + 4,240×20.00)/1e6. Token charges only; standard (non-fast, non-batch) rates assumed |
| Duration | ≈19 min (fork's own span; overlaps the other five forks; not summed) |
| Bound | min 0.0424 (all tokens at cache read) · max 4.24 (all tokens at output) |
| Notes | Token discrepancy: the fork estimated ≈131k from its budget counter; the harness notification reports ≈212k. The harness figure is used. Web search/fetch calls: count not recorded; WebSearch API list price $10 per 1,000 searches, not in the figure. Sage runs: local CPU, no charge. Harness tool uses: 43. Billing mode (API vs subscription) not recorded; the figure is a notional API list-rate figure. Fast-mode premium not applied (mode not recorded). |
