Artifact: Token-Usage-per-Turn Log
A five-row table tracking token cost per turn against a stated budget ceiling -- exercises co-18.
| Turn | Tokens this turn | Cumulative | Budget ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3,200 | 3,200 | 50,000 |
| 2 | 5,800 | 9,000 | 50,000 |
| 3 | 4,100 | 13,100 | 50,000 |
| 4 | 12,600 | 25,700 | 50,000 |
| 5 | 8,900 | 34,600 | 50,000 |
Verify: the cumulative total after turn 5 (34,600) is checked directly against the stated budget ceiling (50,000) -- 34,600 is under the ceiling, leaving roughly 15,400 tokens of headroom -- satisfying ex-18's rule of checking the running total against a stated budget ceiling.
