Runs without calling a hosted model API, using local weights, a local index, or an air-gapped serve path.
Needs below are the JTBD ids already listed on this class, capped at 6. The pick is the current Depot Pick. The cheapest line is that job's matching sourced SKU, or unavailable. A free row is listed only when its jtbd ids include that job. This page does not rescore. cost=free does not hide that pick and does not turn a cheap paid SKU into a free one.

Failure modes
Silent truncation silent-truncation
Tools must return whether the payload was truncated and how long the original was. Fail the task if the answer depends on the missing span.
Context overflow context-overflow
If the input exceeds the window, say so and retrieve a narrower slice. Do not answer from a truncated head as if it were the whole source.
Schema drift schema-drift
Validate every tool call and every loaded table against the current schema. Quarantine mismatches instead of coercing them.
Non-determinism non-determinism
Run the task more than once and compare the end state, not a single transcript. Record the trial count next to any success rate you cite.
Stale retrieval stale-retrieval
Store the source URL and the time it was fetched. If a newer canonical page exists, or two stored sources disagree, do not answer from the older one.
Lost in the middle lost-in-the-middle
Ask the agent to name the passage it used. Spot-check questions whose only support sits in the middle of the context, not only at the edges.
