Summary

Captures today's LFG cost snapshot to advance task Lucent-Financial-Group#287 (cost-monitoring visibility, deadline 2026-04-26..04-29). Tooling existed (per Lucent-Financial-Group#285); this is operational cadence work — first cadence snapshot beyond the 2026-04-21 baseline.

What this PR does

  • Appends one row to `docs/budget-history/snapshots.jsonl` for ts=2026-04-26T18:50:43Z
  • Captures: copilot_seats=1, last_20_total_ms=1767000, billable_ms=0, last_merged=2026-04-26
  • Unblocks project-runway.sh from "baseline-only" → "needs N>=3" mode (one step closer to decision-ready)

What this PR does NOT do

Validation

`tools/budget/project-runway.sh` post-snapshot output:

  • N=2; copilot_seats=1; last_20_total_ms=1767000; billable_ms=0
  • Gate moved from "baseline only" (N=1) to "cannot project — accumulate more snapshots" (N=2, needs N>=3)
  • Per-PR projection: still "insufficient data" — expected at N=2

Trailer block (preserved here so squash-merge carries it forward)

… projection (task Lucent-Financial-Group#287)

Why:
- Task Lucent-Financial-Group#287 (cost-monitoring visibility) deadline window 2026-04-26..04-29
  starts today; only one baseline snapshot existed at
  docs/budget-history/snapshots.jsonl from 2026-04-21T17:09:03Z (5 days
  stale).
- Budget tooling (tools/budget/snapshot-burn.sh + project-runway.sh) was
  already complete per task Lucent-Financial-Group#285 — the gap was operational cadence,
  not tooling.
- N=1 snapshot supports baseline-only reporting; N>=2 unblocks per-PR
  delta + Actions-ms-per-PR estimation (verified by running
  project-runway.sh post-snapshot).

Options considered:
- Defer further until cron-cadence workflow lands — rejected: leaves
  Aaron without recent cost data while gh-billing UI is live but
  vapor-when-not-watched (per Aaron 2026-04-22 evidence-based-budgeting
  framing).
- Append snapshot only, no commit — rejected: append-only design needs
  git commits as the time-axis (per docs/budget-history/README.md).
- Land snapshot + propose cadence workflow in same PR — rejected:
  mixes ops/data with tooling/automation; cadence workflow is a
  distinct concern best filed as follow-up task.
- Land just the snapshot now; file follow-up for scheduled-workflow
  cadence — selected.

Decision:
- Append today's snapshot (note: "first cadence snapshot beyond
  2026-04-21 baseline; task Lucent-Financial-Group#287 cost-visibility deadline window
  2026-04-26..04-29 starts today").
- Verify project-runway.sh now produces non-baseline output: N=2,
  copilot_seats=1, last_20_total_ms=1767000, billable_ms=0
  (Actions-billable still 0; all included-minutes).
- File follow-up task for scheduled GitHub Actions cadence
  (daily/weekly snapshot via .github/workflows/budget-cadence.yml).

Proof:
- snapshot-burn.sh dry-run produced expected JSON shape with
  scope_coverage block (admin:org missing — explicitly captured per
  README design).
- Live run appended to docs/budget-history/snapshots.jsonl; ts in row
  matches script wall-clock (2026-04-26T18:50:43Z).
- project-runway.sh post-snapshot: gate status moved from "baseline
  only" to "cannot project — accumulate more snapshots" (N>=3 needed
  for decision-ready projection — expected; cadence delivers that).
- jq round-trip on the appended row: parses; no JSONL corruption.

Limits:
- This does not prove consciousness, personhood, or metaphysical free will.
- This proves operational agency mode: policy-selected action through
  shared credential identity, with recorded reasons and durable output
  per Otto-354 ferry-3 canonical commit-attribution convention.
- Single snapshot does not deliver full task Lucent-Financial-Group#287 cost-visibility;
  three or more snapshots across a week + scheduled cadence are
  needed for decision-ready Aaron-facing projection.
- Snapshot covers LFG only (per script config); AceHack billing
  separate (free-tier; tracked by absence per README).

Pull request overview

Adds a new operational budget snapshot entry to the budget-history JSONL time series, extending the dataset beyond the initial baseline so the runway projection tooling can start operating on deltas.

Changes:

  • Appends a new snapshot row (ts=2026-04-26T18:50:43Z) to docs/budget-history/snapshots.jsonl
  • Records updated Actions run-duration totals and latest merge timestamp for the org/repo
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

docs/budget-history/snapshots.jsonl:3

  • P0: snapshots.jsonl currently has a trailing blank line (file is 3 lines, line 3 empty). tools/budget/project-runway.sh uses tail -n 1 and pipes to jq, so an empty last line will cause parse errors / incorrect output. Remove the trailing empty line so the last line is always a valid JSON object (one JSON object per line, no blanks).
