From dcc4cc4ef2b700ecf55953769496affa0dd6c8c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Backtalk6858 Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 13:24:12 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] docs(context): model policy settled (Opus 4.8/medium) + task-descriptions-decay warning MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Bake-off is closed — Opus 4.8/medium is the standing default, Sonnet arms cancelled, per-task logging retired. Cost is no longer a model-selection input: billing is hard-capped, so Opus's real cost is Pro daily-limit hits, an accepted trade. Max is the fix, not a downgrade. Also adds the warning that bit twice in one session: task descriptions and handoffs decay. #149's "delete the stale playbook" hazard was already done the night before, and session_handoff.md had been asserting a FALSE passwordless-sudo alarm plus a DEAD root token as live into every session for 3 days. Check the artifact before doing the work.
