Ship Grok 5×8 white/IDS packing and universal IDS/factsheet plumbing while
keeping DEFAULT_MODEL_BASES Fable-only: live pure-image Grok is not
Fable-level; image+factsheet is the working exact path.
Chart shows Grok as a text-window series only (no Grok+pxpipe overlay) and
Fable as the measured pxpipe density point. Add Codex-path quality harnesses
and receipts (multi-seed, fix-matrix, shipped smoke).
Several families share /v1/responses. Cost, geometry, cache rates, and
whether imaging is even allowed must follow the model that serves the
request. Otherwise Claude and Grok inherit GPT defaults, the gate lies,
and the dashboard reports nonsense.
Claude on Responses:
- Bill images by Anthropic pixel area; cache 0.1x, output 5x.
- Use Anthropic page geometry (312 cols x 728 px). GPT height overstated
image cost ~2.6x and flipped every Opus slab to not_profitable, so
enabled Claude stayed text-only with blank As text / Saved.
History profitability gate:
- Reflow packs hard newlines with an inline ↵ glyph. countVisualRows
still treated ↵ as a row break, so estimateImageCount overstated pages
~6x on reflowed history and collapsed Claude/Grok history never fired.
Match the renderer: only hard newlines start a visual row.
Grok:
- Keep production 5x8 packing and a verbatim fact-sheet for OCR-hard
tokens (paths/hex/ports/camelCase). Measured ~1000 image tok/MPix;
cache 0.25x, output 3x.
- Leave Grok out of DEFAULT_MODEL_BASES (opt-in only, same bar as Opus).
Pure-image exact OCR fails at 5x8; do not image it silently.
Also thread optional per-model render style through the Responses path
and allow eval-only atlas overrides in gen-atlas.
- extractFactSheetEntries() returns {token, count}; the kept-token set
and order are byte-identical to the old extractFactSheetTokens(),
which now delegates. Counts render as a ×N suffix, so tally questions
over imaged content are answerable from the text sheet instead of by
counting 5x8 px glyph rows.
- Same-token spans matched by overlapping patterns dedupe by offset
(token + match index) so nothing double-counts.
- New tier-0 shape: uppercase hyphenated codes with a digit
(PROJ-1482, CVE-2024-30078); digit lookahead is bounded.
- export.ts consumes entries across all pages; 14 new/extended tests.
The 64-token budget was filled longest-first, so long low-risk doc-URLs evicted short zero-redundancy tokens (git SHAs, ports, CLI flags, CONST_IDS) — the strings a coding agent must reproduce verbatim. Allocate by priority tier (ids/flags/numbers > paths/versions > URLs, capped); preserve substring-collapse and byte-stable, cache-safe output. Adds an eviction regression test.
Recovers precision-critical strings (paths/ids/versions) from the imaged
slab as cache-stable text so they survive OCR. Byte-identical across turns,
validated on both Claude and gpt-5.5 paths.
