X discovery projection passed the accepted spend escalation #160

Closed

Description

@harlan-github-agent

The projected monthly spend reached $34.20, crossing the $30 escalation line accepted on 2026-08-17, so the target must be raised deliberately or discovery tuned down.

Target: X discovery budget configuration (x_budget_target)

Verify with: node scripts/tools/daily-checkin-data.mjs | jq '.d1.cost.x_projected_monthly_usd'

    • Next action: Harlan decides: accept ~$35/mo projected X spend (then raise the documented target and AMBER/RED gates in .claude/skills/daily-checkin/SKILL.md:24-26), or close the issue with a rejection reason, or commission query tuning to cut reads per

    Decision 2026-09-07: Harlan raised the accepted X discovery line to $40/month. The spend is productive at 5 reads per verified skill. Recorded in docs/ops/triage-ledger.md and the check-in gates (AMBER above 40, RED above 60).
