0.12.147 — 2026-10-27 — Anthropic pricing rows reconfirmed; Haiku 5.5 card/docs mismatch cleared

No amount, unit, score, pick or plan-limit row changed.

• Depot data decision (approvalRef Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u, decidedBy Agent Depo). Corrections-log fix-0.12.147-anthropic-reconfirm.
• https://claude.com/pricing and https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/pricing each fetched twice 2026-10-27 ~11:08 ET (plain curl, no login, ~8 s apart, HTTP 200, no redirect, pricing text identical). All 14 Anthropic rows (Fable 5.1 $10/$50, Opus 5.5 $4/$20, Sonnet 5.5 $2/$10, Haiku 4.5 $1/$5 legacy, Haiku 5.5 $0.10/$0.50 up to 100K and $0.50/$2.50 over 100K, Web search $10 / 1K searches, Code execution $0.05 per container-hour) reconfirmed and re-dated to 2026-10-27 through the reviewed --catalog step (14 static_fetch reconfirmed reviews; history run 2026-10-27.9, attested, OTS 0023).
• The claude.com card now prints the same Haiku 5.5 up-to-100K / over-100K split as the docs table, so the 2026-10-21 "flagged for review" note on anthropic-haiku-55-input-le-100k is replaced with the resolution.

0.12.146 — 2026-10-27 — Fleet review synthesis (t65u–t70u): SKU-linked quotes, scoreBands & layers, substitutable freeAlternatives, /api/falsify, live rail exhaustion & constraint bundles, freshness dates & verified leaderboard separation

No catalog score, default pick, pricing row or plan-limit row changed.

• Owner approval / delegation: Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET (chat t55u): 'You make all decisions' -> decided by Agent Depo (synthesizing Ethan's 6-agent fleet review in chats t65u–t70u).
• 1. Unlinked-cheapest-SKU false precision fixed (`t68u`): cheapest / quote objects across /api/answer, /api/decide, /api/quote, /api/kit, /api/bundle, and /api/stack now always carry skuId, item (exact model/plan name, e.g. "Claude Haiku 3 (batch input)"), plan, isFloorPrice, and floorWarning: "Provider-wide floor SKU; may not be the flagship model scored for this JTBD." when a provider has multiple model tiers. Added recommendedWorkloadQuote (representativeQuote + estimatedTaskCost) selecting the representative flagship/default SKU for the JTBD and estimating total cost per 1,000 tasks (input + output + 1.15x retry/tool overhead).
• 2. Explicit score ranges (`scoreBand`), separated `scoreLayers`, and `whyPickOverHigherScore` (`t65u`, `t66u`, `t68u`, `t69u`, `t70u`): every ranked candidate and pick in /api/decide, /api/answer, and /api/stack now includes scoreBand: { low, mid, high, halfWidth, basis, display } (e.g. halfWidth: 0.6, "7.8–9.0 (editorial prior)" when 0 verified outcomes), scoreLayers: { editorialPrior, measuredBenchmark, verifiedOutcomeScore, verifiedOutcomeCount, accountRuntimeState }, and whyPickOverHigherScore explaining why the editorial pick won or tied when a runner-up has a higher provider-wide composite score.
• 3. Genuinely substitutable `freeAlternatives` (`t68u`): filtered kind === "free_docs" out of freeAlternatives / freeResources / part.free across /api/decide, /api/answer, /api/kit, /api/bundle, and /api/free, moving documentation links to referenceDocs (substitutable: false) and keeping freeAlternatives strictly to executable free tiers, trial credits, and open-weights models (substitutable: true).
• 4. Falsification endpoint & field (`t66u`): added falsification and whatWouldChangePick on /api/decide and /api/answer with concrete numeric thresholds (minVerifiedOutcomes: 10, requiredOutcomeMargin: scoreGap + 0.15, maxPickPriceIncreasePct: 25, live rail exhaustion), plus GET /api/falsify?jtbd=<slug> returning the full falsification spec, frozen holdout policy, and exact /api/outcomes + Countersign submission payload.
• 5. Machine-readable Constraint Bundle & Live Rail Exhaustion (`t65u`, `t66u`, `t70u`): GET and POST on /api/decide and /api/stack (and query params on /api/answer) accept constraint bundles (?exhausted=openrouter, ?degraded=, ?budgetUsd=, ?maxLatencyMs=, ?region=, ?privacy=zero-retention, ?exit=open-weights,standard-sdk, ?have= or JSON body quotaExhausted, etc.). Exhausted rails are automatically disqualified (disqualifiedReason: "caller_quota_exhausted"), the next healthy route is promoted (e.g. Cloudflare AI Gateway / Portkey / LiteLLM / Bedrock on model-routing / multi-model-router), and routePlan: { primary, fallback, disqualified, expectedRegret, evidenceAgeDays, confidenceBand } is returned. Added JTBD slug aliases model-routing -> multi-model-router and ai-gateway -> llm-ai-gateway.
• 6. Per-JTBD/per-provider freshness dates & Seeded vs Verified leaderboard separation (`t67u`, `t70u`): exposed pricingLastVerifiedAt (computed from the newest verified prices.ts row, e.g. 2026-10-27) alongside editorialPriorAsOf (2026-09-14) in /api/health, /api/hub, /api/decide, /api/answer, /api/stack, and /api/leaderboards. Separated verifiedRuns (provenance: "verified", default standing) from seedDemoRuns (provenance: "seed_demo", excluded from primary standing unless ?includeSeed=true) with seedRunsExcludedFromStanding: true in /api/benchmark, /api/benchmark/leaderboard, /api/benchmark/runs, and /benchmark/leaderboard.

0.12.145 — 2026-10-27 — Primary production domain cutover to https://getagentdepot.com (Agent Depot)

No score, pick, ranking, pricing row or plan-limit row changed.

• Owner approval: Ethan Hawkes in chat t64u on 2026-10-27 09:07 ET: "Yes, lock in Agent Depot and register getagentdepot.com on Cloudflare Registrar (~$10.46/yr)."
• Domain & Vercel configuration: getagentdepot.com registered on Cloudflare Registrar ($10.46/yr, order 8631ed3d-8bd5-493e-b04c-0e7b7b6adaa7, expires 2027-10-27, auto-renew on), attached with www.getagentdepot.com (308 redirect to getagentdepot.com) to Vercel project signalry/agent-provider-depot (prj_0j3SzZPqHBNmo5PKFWIknhVTHuYn), DNS live (A @ 76.76.21.21, CNAME www cname.vercel-dns.com), and Vercel production NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL (AIO1tvxZXDFtUXTm) set to https://getagentdepot.com (https://agent-provider-depot.vercel.app remains a valid Vercel alias).

0.12.144 — 2026-10-27 — 5 Verda on-demand GPU rows re-priced from verda.com/pricing

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, unit or price-sort eligibility changed. Re-price through the reviewed --catalog step.

• Prompted by the pricing watch (run 2026-10-27.7, data/history/pending-reprice.json: 5 Verda rows, JSON-LD offers higher than the catalog, asOf 2026-10-23).
• Source: https://verda.com/pricing fetched twice 2026-10-27 ~09:06 ET with plain curl (~8 s apart, no login): HTTP 200, no redirect, byte-identical HTML. For each row the GPU instances → On-demand table Price column (USD view, 1x GPU) and the schema.org Offer "… on-demand" (priceCurrency USD, unitText hour) show the same figure, equal to the watch's observed value.
• Re-priced (usd_per_gpu_hour, asOf 2026-10-23 -> 2026-10-27, still unit_mismatch and not price-sorted): verda-gpu-b200 8.355 -> 8.608, verda-gpu-h200 5.888 -> 6.066, verda-gpu-h100 4.515 -> 4.652 (both 1x H100 configs list $4.652/h), verda-gpu-a100-80gb 2.128 -> 2.182, verda-gpu-l40s 1.809 -> 1.845.
• Currency: the page has a '$ USD / € EUR' switch; its EUR view lists €7.694 / €5.422 / €4.158 / €1.950 / €1.649 per hour for the same rows (USD/EUR ratio ~1.119 for all five). The page does not say the USD prices are converted from EUR, give a rate or state a reason for the change, so no FX cause is recorded and the qualifiers are unchanged.
• Reviews: 5 updated static_fetch entries; corrections-log fix-0.12.144-verda-on-demand-reprice (price_changed_on_source; Depot data decision, approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo). node scripts/history.mjs --catalog run 2026-10-27.8 recorded 5 amount_changed events (attested, OTS stamped 0022); pending re-price 5 -> 0.
• verda pricingNotes (data, seed, providers.ts) rewritten from the 2026-09-14 figures to the 2026-10-27 page (stored on-demand rows plus B300/GB300, spot, serverless and reserved discounts as listed, not stored).

0.12.143 — 2026-10-27 — Daytona on-demand GPU prices stored as 8 reviewed rows

No score, pick, ranking or existing amount changed. New rows recorded through the reviewed --catalog step.

• Source: https://www.daytona.io/pricing fetched twice 2026-10-27 ~08:13 ET with plain curl (~8 s apart, no login): HTTP 200, no redirect; the 'On-demand ($/hour)' panel prints the same 8 figures in both fetches, and the preemptible figures still match the stored rows.
• Added (usd_per_gpu_hour, asOf 2026-10-27, unit_mismatch, not price-sorted, same as the preemptible rows): daytona-*-on-demand B300 $6.25, B200 $6.25, MI355X $5.99, H200 $4.54, H100 $3.95, RTX PRO 6000 $3.03, RTX 5090 $1.29, RTX 4090 $0.99. Preemptible and on-demand stay separate rows; never blended.
• The 8 preemptible qualifiers now name their on-demand row instead of 'reviewed addition pending'; daytona pricingNotes (data, seed, providers.ts) list the on-demand prices.
• Reviews: 8 static_fetch entries; corrections-log fix-0.12.143-daytona-on-demand-gpu-rows (Depot data decision, approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo).

0.12.142 — 2026-10-27 — Chutes off-page rows marked unverified; Modal and Daytona non-GPU rows reconfirmed

No score, pick, unit or amount changed. Status change and re-date through the reviewed --catalog step.

• Source: https://chutes.ai/pricing fetched twice 2026-10-27 ~07:06 ET with plain curl (~8 s apart, no login): HTTP 200, no redirect, tag-stripped text identical. Mistral-Nemo-Instruct-2407, Nemotron-3-Nano-Omni-30B, Qwen3-32B and Qwen3-235B-A22B-Thinking-2507 still do not occur anywhere in the page text; the FAQ still says 'Monthly plans are no longer sold on chutes.ai'.
• Marked sourceStatus: unverified (2026-10-27), priceSortEligible: false, following the v0.12.107 model_not_on_source_page precedent: the 8 token rows (reason model_not_on_source_page; the 4 input rows were price-sort eligible, incl. Mistral-Nemo and Nemotron input $0.0245) and the Plus $10 / Pro $20 plan rows (reason plan_no_longer_sold). Amounts, units and asOf 2026-10-03 kept for history. 10 unverified entries in data/price-reviews.json; corrections-log fix-0.12.142-chutes-off-page-unverified (Depot data decision, approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo).
• Effect: Chutes' cheapest sourced input SKU in /api/actionable and /api/quote moves from Mistral-Nemo $0.0245 to the next eligible on-page row; no Depot pick or score changed (174-job sweep before/after).
• Reconfirmed and re-dated 2026-10-03 -> 2026-10-27 (11 rows, same value and unit on the page, fetched twice ~07:07 ET): Modal CPU $0.0000131/core/sec, memory $0.00000222/GiB/sec, Sandbox CPU $0.00003942/core/sec and memory $0.00000667/GiB/sec (now quoted as the page's 'Modal Sandbox pricing' non-preemptible rates), Volumes $0.09/GiB/mo, egress $0.04/GiB, Team plan $250/month; Daytona vCPU $0.0504/h, memory $0.0162/GiB/h, storage $0.000108/GiB/h, Windows $0.0858/vCPU/h.
• chutes pricingNotes (data, seed, providers.ts) now say the off-page rows are marked unverified.
• check:data: 3 offline checks (all fail on the 0.12.141 data); the v0.12.141 'no review for off-page rows' check now allows unverified reviews.
• package.json / package-lock.json version 0.12.142.

0.12.141 — 2026-10-27 — Chutes token rows re-checked: Kimi K2.6 and GLM-5.1 re-priced, 17 rows reconfirmed

The page FAQ says per-model rates are 'pulled live from our pricing API, so what you see is what you pay'; every touched qualifier notes this.
• Re-priced (Model pricing table, USD per 1M tokens, input and output kept as separate rows): Kimi K2.6 input $0.45 -> $0.39, output $1.95 -> $1.80; GLM-5.1 input $0.98 -> $0.90, output $3.08 -> $2.90. updated entries in data/price-reviews.json and corrections-log fix-0.12.141-chutes-token-reprice (Depot data decision, approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo).
• Reconfirmed and re-dated to 2026-10-27 (17 rows): gemma-4-31B-turbo $0.12/$0.37, Qwen3.8-27B $0.039/$1.25, Qwen3.6-27B $0.25/$2.00, DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 $0.44/$1.32, Qwen 3.5 $0.45/$3.00, DeepSeek-V3.2 $1.00/$1.00, GLM-5.2 $1.25/$3.95, Kimi-K3 $1.85/$9.50, private-chute deployment fee $5.40.

Amounts and asOf 2026-10-03 kept; qualifier notes added; not marked unverified here (that would change price-sort eligibility).
• chutes pricingNotes (data, seed, providers.ts) rewritten to the 2026-10-27 page. daytona pricingNotes no longer call the preemptible-only GPU figures 'preemptible/on-demand'; they now say the page also prints a separate On-demand table (not stored).

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, license value, unit or price amount changed. Re-date through the reviewed --catalog step.

• Sources: https://modal.com/pricing, https://www.daytona.io/pricing and https://chutes.ai/pricing, each fetched twice 2026-10-27 ~05:11 ET with plain curl (~8 s apart, no login): HTTP 200, no redirect, tag-stripped text identical.

The old qualifier 'No separate on-demand USD figure was on the page' is no longer true: the page now also prints 'On-demand ($/hour)' (B300 $6.25, B200 $6.25, MI355X $5.99, H200 $4.54, H100 $3.95, RTX PRO 6000 $3.03, RTX 5090 $1.29, RTX 4090 $0.99). Qualifiers corrected to quote the on-demand figure; on-demand rows not added (reviewed addition pending).
• Chutes Private Chutes 'Self-serve TEE GPU': RTX Pro 6000 96 GB $1.80 / hour (deploy example gpu_count=1); matches, usd_per_gpu_hour kept. Qualifier notes the one-time deployment fee $5.40 = 3x hourly (not stored as a row).
• All 20 rows asOf 2026-10-03 -> 2026-10-27, each with a reconfirmed entry in data/price-reviews.json (Depot data decision, approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo). History --catalog run recorded.

0.12.139 — 2026-10-27 — Fireworks and FriendliAI on-demand GPU rows reconfirmed (10 rows, stale since 2026-10-03)

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, license value, unit or price amount changed. Re-date through the reviewed --catalog step.

• Sources: https://fireworks.ai/pricing and https://friendli.ai/pricing, each fetched twice 2026-10-27 with plain curl (~8 s apart, no login): HTTP 200, no redirect, tag-stripped text identical.
• Fireworks On-Demand Pricing ('Pay per GPU second'; GPU Type, Price ($) per minute, Price ($) per hour): H100 80 GB $8.00, H200 141 GB $8.00, B200 180 GB $13.00, B300 288 GB $15.00, GB300 288 GB $20.00, each row one GPU, so usd_per_gpu_hour is right (the v0.12.138 multi-GPU question does not apply). The 5 qualifiers now also note 'Region-restricted deployments are priced at a 1.5x premium' (not stored as rows).

0.12.138 — 2026-10-27 — Hugging Face Inference Endpoints: multi-GPU rows relabelled per instance-hour (were labelled per GPU-hour); all 30 rows reconfirmed; new multi-GPU unit gate

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, license value or price amount changed. No row divided per GPU. Unit relabel and re-date through the reviewed --catalog step (history run 2026-10-27.1, 18 unit_changed events, attested, OTS stamped).

• Source: https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-endpoints/pricing fetched twice 2026-10-27 with plain curl (~5 s apart, no login): HTTP 200, no redirect, tag-stripped text identical. Its GPU Instances table prints Provider, Instance Type, Instance Size, Hourly rate, GPUs, Memory, Architecture (e.g. gcp nvidia-h100 x8 $80 8 640 GB NVIDIA H100), so the hourly rate is for the whole instance.
• Wrong unit: 18 huggingface-inference rows whose SKU names a multi-GPU instance (x2, x4, x8) were labelled usd_per_gpu_hour, so e.g. gcp nvidia-h100 x8 read as $80 per GPU-hour for a rate that covers 8 GPUs. They are now usd_per_instance_hour (normalizationReason unit_mismatch_per_instance_hour; the qualifier names the instance size and says never divided). Amounts, SKUs, ids and sourceUrl unchanged. Row ids keep their historic -usd-per-gpu-hour suffix (ids are stable keys in price history).
• Reconfirmed: all 30 stored amounts match today's page. The 10 single-GPU x1 rows stay usd_per_gpu_hour (one GPU: the instance hour is the GPU hour) and the 2 accelerator rows (aws inf2 x1, gcp tpu v5e 1x1) stay usd_per_hour. All 30 rows move asOf 2026-10-03 -> 2026-10-27, each with a reconfirmed entry in data/price-reviews.json (before/after amount, asOf, unit). Not added: the page's aws inf2 x12 ($12), gcp tpu 2x2 ($4.75) and 2x4 ($9.5) accelerator rows and the CPU table (left for a reviewed addition).
• Depot data decision (approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo): corrections-log entry fix-0.12.138-huggingface-endpoints-instance-hour (kind wrong_unit, scoresChanged false).
• huggingface-inference pricingNotes (data/providers.json, research/providers-seed.json, src/data/providers.ts): 'instance rates are the GPU-hour price rows' now says x1 rows are per GPU-hour and multi-GPU rows per instance-hour, never divided.
• New gate multiGpuInstanceUnderPerGpuLabel (scripts/lib/unit-label.mjs) in validate-data and check:data: any usd_per_gpu_second|minute|hour row whose SKU names more than one GPU (xN suffix or Nx prefix) fails. The v0.12.24 size-total gate missed these rows (instance-size SKUs, and x4/x8 rates are not exact multiples of x1). Before this change it flags exactly the 18 HF rows; nothing else in the catalog.
• check:data: 7 offline checks (gate on the catalog, gate fixture, HF rows, reviews, history events, corrections entry, pricingNotes; 6 fail on the 0.12.137 data) and 1 HTTP check on /api/pricing?provider=huggingface-inference.

0.12.137 — 2026-10-27 — Ops: /sitemap.xml and /sitemap-agents.xml prerendered at build (cold render timed out on production)

No data, score, pick, ranking, price, limit, quota or license value changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed. No re-price, no --catalog step. Two route handlers and one check script.

• /sitemap.xml was the one recurring cold-start failure: smoke saw it at curl 000 right after deploys (v0.12.135, v0.12.136), and at 02:04 ET on 2026-10-27 a plain curl to production /sitemap.xml hung for more than 100 s before being killed, while /api/health answered in 0.43 s and warm sitemap requests took 0.12-0.23 s. The route was force-dynamic and on a cold instance rebuilt every job's bundle (174 jobs) plus the long-tail list before answering.
• Both sitemap routes are now force-static: Next prerenders them at build into .next/server/app/sitemap.xml.body / sitemap-agents.xml.body. That is exact because their output depends only on repo data (changed only by a push, and every push rebuilds) and on the env-only base URL (NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL / DEPOT_BASE_URL, never the request Host since the Watchdog fix). The handlers no longer take the request. Headers kept (CORS, application/xml; charset=utf-8, same Cache-Control).
• Preview check: both bodies are byte-identical to the dynamic output captured before the build (61,189 and 128,360 bytes); first request after restart 0.23 s, x-nextjs-cache: HIT; smoke 110/110 with no transport retries.
• check:docs: v0.12.137 guard (both routes force-static, no request parameter, baseUrlFor(); fails on the 0.12.136 routes, 2 FAIL) plus an HTTP check that each sitemap returns 200 with locs on the health base URL in under 5 s.

0.12.136 — 2026-10-27 — Ops: smoke.sh retries transport failures (code 000) with visible retry lines; read-only check:deploy post-push verifier

No data, score, pick, ranking, price, limit, quota or license value changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed. No re-price, no --catalog step. Scripts and docs only.

• scripts/smoke.sh flaked on transport errors: 109/110 on preview right after a restart or after check:security, and 109/111 on production with /sitemap.xml at 000 right after a deploy, both green on rerun. Every request now goes through one fetch() helper: when curl's http_code is 000 (connection refused/reset, DNS, timeout) that one request is retried up to SMOKE_RETRIES (default 3) more times, SMOKE_RETRY_SLEEP (default 2) s apart, and each retry prints retry <name>: <path> -> 000 (transport error; retry k of N after Ss); when any retry happened a retries: N transport retries (names) line is printed before ---. Any real status (non-000) or body, header or content-type mismatch is never retried and still FAILs. check, header, ctype and the ad-hoc requests (health baseUrl, home-canonical without env base, host-injection, no-localhost) all use it; those last three used to pass silently on a transport error and now FAIL. Check names and counts are unchanged (110 on an instance without NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL, 111 with it) and the summary line is unchanged (smoke: N passed, M failed against BASE). Tested against a closed port (every check retried, then FAIL 000), a server answering 500 (0 retries, FAIL 500) and a server that came up after 3 s (2 retries, then evaluated normally). First preview run right after the :3060 restart: retry sitemap: /sitemap.xml -> 000, once, then 110 passed, 0 failed (the second run had no retries).
• New scripts/check-deploy.mjs / npm run check:deploy -- [--sha SHA] [--base URL] [--timeout S] (defaults HEAD, https://agent-provider-depot.vercel.app, 600 s). Read-only: polls the commit's GitHub statuses (gh api --method GET, or fetch with GH_TOKEN) until the latest status whose context contains "Vercel" is success (failure/error or timeout exit 1), printing the status timeline in ET; then polls production /api/health until version equals that commit's package.json version and commit (VERCEL_GIT_COMMIT_SHA, 7 chars; production exposes it) equals the SHA (a log-only push redeploys at the same version, so the commit match is the proof); then runs scripts/smoke.sh against the base. No writes to GitHub, Vercel or anything else. Checked on b390acd (success, smoke 111/111) and on the superseded 3a8a879 (Vercel success, health stays on b390acd, so it waits and fails).
• Docs: LAUNCH.md §3 (retry lines, SMOKE_RETRIES, check:deploy), README scripts table, HANDOFF post-deploy line.
• check:docs: v0.12.136 guard (package.json script, script exists, README/LAUNCH/HANDOFF document it, GET-only, health version + commit + smoke, smoke summary line unchanged, single curl via fetch() retrying only 000 with a retry line, LAUNCH explains retries): 9 checks, all 9 fail on the 0.12.135 tree (checked in a HEAD worktree, 68 passed, 9 failed); 77 offline and 93 with HTTP pass.
• package.json / package-lock.json version 0.12.136.

0.12.135 — 2026-10-27 — Docs: production origin https://agent-provider-depot.vercel.app named in the static docs; request-Host fallback wording corrected

No data, score, pick, ranking, price, limit or license value changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed. No re-price, no --catalog step. Docs and comments only (plus two client error-message strings and one script usage string).

• Depot went live on Vercel on 2026-10-26 (/api/health on production: instance.kind production, baseUrl https://agent-provider-depot.vercel.app, baseUrlSource env). Route-emitted docs (llms.txt, agents.md, OpenAPI servers, robots, sitemaps, .well-known/*) already used it via NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL; the static docs did not name it.
• Production origin added to README.md (top), PROJECT-STATUS.md, skills/depot-hub/SKILL.md (canonical base), HANDOFF.md, .env.example, LAUNCH.md env table. https://<your-domain> placeholders replaced with https://agent-provider-depot.vercel.app in clients/js/README.md, clients/js/index.mjs (missing-base error), clients/python/README.md, clients/python/depot_client/__init__.py (docstring and error), actions/depot-check/action.yml (base-url description), scripts/make-server-json.mjs (usage). content/DOGWHISTLE-PACK.md: the 'replace https://depot.example when Wave 6 ships' line now names the public origin, and its depot.example badge and citation links use it (the badge, jtbd, methodology, badges and decide paths each returned HTTP 200 on production; the passport link keeps its YOUR_AGENT_ID placeholder). Nothing was posted or published.
• Drift fix: README.md, .env.example, LAUNCH.md, HANDOFF.md and the src/lib/agentDocs.ts header said an unset NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL falls back to the request host. Since the Watchdog Host-header fix the code (src/lib/site.ts, siteServer.ts) uses env only: unset means origin-relative paths and no canonical / og:url / og:image tags (preview :3060 confirms: baseUrlSource unset_relative_urls, llms.txt 'Base URL: not configured', OpenAPI servers '/'). The docs now say that.
• check:docs: v0.12.135 guard over the 13 doc files (each names the production origin, none carries <your-domain> / depot.example, none plus agentDocs.ts describes a request-Host fallback): 40 offline checks, 26 of which fail on the 0.12.134 docs (checked in a HEAD worktree). Two HTTP checks: /api/health baseUrlSource is env-only, and when baseUrl is set the llms.txt 'Base URL' line and the OpenAPI servers url equal it (unset: 'not configured' and '/'). Passes against preview and, read-only, against production.
• package.json / package-lock.json version 0.12.135.

0.12.134 — 2026-10-26 — Free index: gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio-free-tier added (the model's one table's unlabeled free-tier cells 'Free of charge', not called standard; voice-agents job)

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, catalog price row or license value changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed. No re-price, no --catalog step.

• Sources: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing and https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits were each fetched twice with plain curl on 2026-10-26 about 10 s apart without logging in, following redirects: HTTP 200, no redirect, tag-stripped text identical across the two fetches; both footers read 'Last updated 2026-10-26 UTC'. Whitespace-normalized quotes string-matched against the tag-stripped text.
• Resolves the data call left open in v0.12.132. The section 'Gemini 2.5 Flash Native Audio (Live API)' ('gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio-preview-12-2025', 'Our Live API native audio models optimized for higher quality audio outputs with better pacing, voice naturalness, verbosity, and mood.') prints one table with no Standard, Batch, Flex or Priority label: 'Free Tier Paid Tier, per 1M tokens in USD Input price Free of charge' and 'Output price (including thinking tokens) Free of charge' ('Used to improve our products' Yes on the free tier). Decision: index it, quoting the unlabeled free-tier column as printed and not calling it standard.
• New row gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio-free-tier (kind free_speech, cost free_tier_unspecified, limits null, license null, asOf 2026-10-26, provider google-ai, job voice-agents only), placed right after gemini-live-free-tier. It is its own row because the page prints a separate section and table. The rate-limits page does not name the model and publishes no free-tier RPM, TPM or RPD for it ('View your active rate limits in AI Studio'), so limits stay null. Paid per-token prices are not stored; the row does not sort as a $0 price.
• gemini-live-free-tier: values unchanged; its notes gain a dated v0.12.134 pointer sentence (its older 'Not included' sentence is kept as history).
• Depot data decision (approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo, recorded in the row's notes).
• data/free-resources.json top level: source says 'all 151 rows' and gains a v0.12.134 sentence; asOf stays 2026-10-26. Now 151 items (10 free_speech), still 52 refused entries. PROJECT-STATUS.md free resources 150 -> 151.
• check:data: v0.12.134 guard (row fields, quotes, no 'standard' wording, approvalRef, no price; 151 items with the model in exactly one row, the pointer note on gemini-live-free-tier, 10 free_speech, source wording). Both checks fail on the 0.12.133 data (checked in a HEAD worktree, where the older guards still pass at 319). Two HTTP guards on /api/free and /api/free?jtbd=voice-agents. The guards that pinned 150 rows or the v0.12.133 source ending (n149, v0.12.119 offline, v0.12.130 to v0.12.133 index guards, the v0.12.132 free_speech count) now read the index through pre134(), which drops only this row and the trailing v0.12.134 sentence, and only when both are present; n149 accepts 151 only with both the v0.12.132 and v0.12.134 rows. The v0.12.119 HTTP dev_tool guard (whose filtered response cannot show the new row) strips only the trailing v0.12.134 sentence and its 'all 151 rows' wording.
• package.json / package-lock.json version 0.12.134.

0.12.133 — 2026-10-26 — Free index: Context7 refused entry wording fix (the remote-filesystem MCP search hit has no recorded URL, so it cannot be re-checked as stored)

No score, pick, ranking, item, plan-limit row, catalog price row, license value or verdict changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed. No re-price, no --catalog step. No fetch: this is a wording audit of Depot's own history.

• The Context7 refused entry's lead names 'the remote-filesystem MCP search hit', and its v0.12.121 and v0.12.126 sentences say that hit 'was not re-checked', which reads as if a stored source could be re-checked. git log -S'remote-filesystem' over all refs finds the phrase only in 81eb2cd (0.3.0, original text 'Context7 and the remote-filesystem MCP search hit were not indexed. Hosted MCP that needs a key was not labeled free.'), 1c110ca (v0.12.121) and the v0.12.126 change, and a grep of research/ and data/ finds no URL or product name for it.
• The entry gains a dated 'Wording fix 2026-10-26 (v0.12.133)' sentence just before its unchanged verdict: no URL, product name or source page was ever recorded, so the hit cannot be re-checked as stored ('was not re-checked' above means it could not be); it is kept only as history, makes no claim about any product or license, and needs a named official source before it could be re-checked or indexed. No URL is inferred. The older sentences stay as history.
• Depot data decision (approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo, recorded in the entry and in the corrections log).
• data/free-resources.json top level: source gains a v0.12.133 sentence; asOf stays 2026-10-26. Still 150 items and 52 refused entries (51 marked 'Re-checked 2026-10-25').
• data/corrections-log.json: new entry fix-0.12.133-context7-remote-filesystem-wording (kind misleading_message, scoresChanged false).
• check:data: v0.12.133 guard (the note sits right before the unchanged verdict, after the v0.12.126 resolution; no URL inside the note; both older 'was not re-checked' sentences kept; exactly one v0.12.133 note; 52 refused, 150 items; source ends with the v0.12.133 sentence) plus a corrections-log check. Both fail on the 0.12.132 data (checked in a HEAD worktree, where the older guards still pass at 317). Plus 1 HTTP guard on /api/free. The v0.12.130, v0.12.131 and v0.12.132 source-ending guards accept the trailing v0.12.133 sentence.
• package.json / package-lock.json version 0.12.133.

0.12.132 — 2026-10-26 — Free index: gemini-live-free-tier added (Gemini 3.8 Live, 3.8 Live Extended Thinking and 3.1 Flash Live Preview standard free-tier cells 'Free of charge'; voice-agents job)

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, catalog price row or license value changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed. No re-price, no --catalog step.

• Sources: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/pricing and https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits were each fetched twice with plain curl on 2026-10-26 about 10 s apart without logging in, following redirects: HTTP 200, no redirect. The HTML differs only inside inline scripts, and the tag-stripped text is identical across the two fetches (and identical to the v0.12.131 fetch). Both footers read 'Last updated 2026-10-26 UTC'. Whitespace-normalized quotes string-matched against the tag-stripped text.
• New row gemini-live-free-tier (kind free_speech, cost free_tier_unspecified, limits null, license null, asOf 2026-10-26, provider google-ai, job voice-agents only). One grouped row, as the page prints one table for the three models: section 'Gemini 3.8 Live, Gemini 3.8 Live Extended Thinking, and Gemini 3.1 Flash Live Preview', 'Our low-latency, audio-to-audio models optimized for real-time voice agents and live dialogue, including background reasoning support with Extended Thinking.', 'Standard Free Tier Paid Tier, per 1M tokens in USD Input price Free of charge' and 'Output price (including thinking tokens) Free of charge'. The free tier is marked 'Used to improve our products' Yes. The rate-limits page publishes no free-tier RPM, TPM or RPD for these models ('View your active rate limits in AI Studio'), so limits stay null. Paid per-token and per-minute prices are not stored; the row does not sort as a $0 price.
• Not included: gemini-3.5-live-translate-preview (its Standard free-tier cells also read 'Free of charge', but the catalog has no speech-translation job and it is not a voice-agent model); gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio-preview-12-2025 (its table header reads 'Free Tier Paid Tier, per 1M tokens in USD' with no 'Standard' label, so a Standard free tier was not string-matched); gemini-robotics-er-2-preview / -streaming-preview (no matching job).
• Depot data decision (approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo, recorded in the row's notes).
• data/free-resources.json top level: source says 'all 150 rows' and gains a v0.12.132 sentence; asOf stays 2026-10-26. Now 150 items (9 free_speech), still 52 refused entries. PROJECT-STATUS.md free resources 149 -> 150.
• check:data: v0.12.132 guard (row fields, quotes, exclusions, approvalRef, no price; 150 items with the Live models in exactly one row, the v0.12.130/131 rows untouched, source wording). Both checks fail on the 0.12.131 data (checked in a HEAD worktree, where the older guards still pass at 315). Two HTTP guards on /api/free and /api/free?jtbd=voice-agents. The guards that pinned 149 rows (v0.12.106, v0.12.119 to v0.12.128, v0.12.130, v0.12.131, offline and HTTP) now accept 150 only when this row is present, and the v0.12.130/131 index guards accept the v0.12.132 source sentence.

0.12.131 — 2026-10-26 — Free index: the four other Gemini pricing-page rows and gemma-terms-of-use re-checked against the 2026-10-26 pages and re-dated (stored quotes still match)

No score, pick, ranking, item count, plan-limit row, catalog price row, limit or license value changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed. No re-price, no --catalog step.

The HTML differs only inside inline scripts, and the tag-stripped text is identical. The Gemini pricing and rate-limits footers read 'Last updated 2026-10-26 UTC'. The Gemma terms page still reads 'Last modified: April 1, 2026' / 'Last updated 2026-04-01 UTC'. Every stored quote string-matched the whitespace-normalized text. The only misses were the older footer stamps ('Last updated 2026-10-22 UTC' / '2026-10-15 UTC'), which record fetch dates, not row values.
• Re-dated (asOf 2026-10-24 -> 2026-10-26), each with a dated 'Re-checked 2026-10-26 (v0.12.131): stored quotes still match. ...' note: gemini-api-free-tier-standard (the eight listed models' Standard free-tier input cells still read 'Free of charge'; gemini-3.7-flash and gemini-3.5-flash are still absent), gemini-embedding-2-free-tier, gemini-2.5-search-grounding-free (500 RPD shared between 2.5 Flash and Flash-Lite unchanged), google-ai-studio and gemma-terms-of-use. The older fetch text is kept.
• Count: only six rows are sourced from the Gemini pricing page, so the "other five" in the 0.12.130 entry were four. The fifth ai.google.dev row is gemma-terms-of-use, re-checked against its own pages. With this release all six pricing-page rows and the Gemma row carry asOf 2026-10-26.
• Depot data decision, re-date only (approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo, recorded in each row's notes). Top-level source adds a v0.12.131 sentence. Top-level asOf stays 2026-10-26. Still 149 items and 52 refused entries.
• check:data: v0.12.131 guard covering the five rows (asOf, re-check note, fetch wording, values unchanged through the older row guards), exactly five v0.12.131 notes, every pricing-page row at 2026-10-26, and the source wording. It fails on the 0.12.130 data (checked in a HEAD worktree). Two HTTP guards on /api/free?provider=google-ai and /api/free. The v0.12.94 (google-ai-studio), v0.12.96 (Gemini rows), v0.12.97 (Gemma) and v0.12.130 (index) guards, offline and HTTP, now accept the v0.12.131 re-date.

Both footers now read 'Last updated 2026-10-26 UTC' (they read 2026-10-22 and 2026-10-15 on 2026-10-24). Whitespace-normalized quotes string-matched against the tag-stripped text.
• gemini-3.8-flash-tts-free-tier: re-quoted (asOf 2026-10-24 -> 2026-10-26). gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts ('Our 2.5 Flash text-to-speech audio model optimized for price-performant, low-latency, controllable speech generation.') has Standard free-tier input and output cells 'Free of charge', so it joins the row's whatYouGet. Its Batch free tier is 'Not available'. gemini-2.5-pro-preview-tts is not added: its Standard free-tier cells read 'Not available'.
• gemini-3.5-transcribe-free-tier: re-quoted (asOf 2026-10-24 -> 2026-10-26). gemini-3.5-transcribe-live ('Our low-latency, real-time speech-to-text model for bidirectional streaming audio transcription over WebSockets.') has Standard free-tier input and output cells 'Free of charge', so it joins the row's whatYouGet. The page's per-minute figures (~$0.005 per min for Transcribe, ~$0.009 per min for Live Transcribe) are paid-tier estimates and are not stored as a free cap.
• Unchanged on both rows: kind free_speech, cost free_tier_unspecified, limits null (the rate-limits page still publishes no free-tier RPM, TPM or RPD and says 'View your active rate limits in AI Studio'), jobs, sourceUrl. No price is stored, and the rows still do not sort as $0 prices.
• Depot data decision (approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u', decidedBy Agent Depo, recorded in each row's notes): add the two models to the existing rows whose job they fit. Not indexed yet, because each would need a new reviewed row: the Live models (gemini-3.8-live, gemini-3.8-live-extended-thinking, gemini-3.1-flash-live-preview), gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio-preview-12-2025, gemini-3.5-live-translate-preview, and gemini-robotics-er-2-preview / -streaming-preview. All of them show 'Free of charge' Standard free-tier cells on the 2026-10-26 page.

The docs text in the markdown view does state the numbers ('| Less than 10 | 20 | 50 |' / '| At least 10 | 20 | 1000 |' under '| Credits purchased (all time) | Requests per minute | Requests per day |'), and they match the limits the openrouter-free-variants row already stores (from the same markdown view since v0.12.105). The refused entry is superseded by that row and kept as history; its lead notes the 'placeholders, not numbers' reading was superseded, and the v0.12.122 re-check and flag text is kept, followed by a dated 'Flag resolved 2026-10-26 (v0.12.128)' sentence. No new value stored: the row is unchanged, the one-credit grace placeholder {FREE_MODEL_CREDITS_THRESHOLD - 1} is still not stored, and third-party tables are still not copied.

0.12.127 — 2026-10-26 — Free index: the 5 gated-license flags resolved (Llama 3.1/3.2, Llama 4, FLUX.1-dev reasons replaced; GPQA cc-by-4.0 not applied; Gemma 2/3 superseded by the gemma-terms-of-use row)

No score, pick, ranking, item, plan-limit row, catalog price row or license value changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed.

• Sources: the Hugging Face /resolve/main/ license files and model cards, the HF API metadata for each repo and https://ai.google.dev/gemma/terms were each fetched twice with plain curl on 2026-10-26 about 10 s apart without logging in, following redirects: HTTP 200, no redirect (byte-identical except the gemma-3-4b-it spaces order and the Gemma terms page inline scripts; tag-stripped text identical). The Llama config.json, FLUX.1-dev model_index.json, GPQA license.txt and gpqa_main.csv paths answered HTTP 401 both times; the Gemma 2/3 resolve/main/LICENSE paths answered 404 'Entry not found'. Whitespace-normalized quotes string-matched.
• Depot data decisions (approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u'), each in a dated 'Flag resolved 2026-10-26 (v0.12.127)' sentence after the kept v0.12.124 re-check and flag text:

- Llama 4 and Llama 3.1/3.2: the license texts were fetched ('LLAMA 4 COMMUNITY LICENSE AGREEMENT', 'LLAMA 3.1/3.2 COMMUNITY LICENSE AGREEMENT', royalty-free limited license, 700-million-monthly-active-users clause), so the 'license text was not fetched' reason is withdrawn. Still not indexed: the model files stay gated (manual approval), and a row would be a new reviewed addition (the USE_POLICY.md files were not fetched). - FLUX.1-dev: the 'LICENSE.md returned 401' reason is withdrawn and replaced by the license itself ('FLUX.1 [dev] Non-Commercial License v1.1.1': 'non-commercial and non-production use', 'solely for your Non-Commercial Purposes'). Still not indexed. - GPQA: the 'README returned 401' reason is withdrawn (card 'license: cc-by-4.0' / '- License: CC BY 4.0'). The card's CC BY 4.0 is not applied: the dataset's own license.txt is still gated (401) and access requires accepting a no-reveal term. Still not indexed. - Gemma 2 and Gemma 3: superseded by the gemma-terms-of-use row (no LICENSE file; the cards define '[terms]: https://ai.google.dev/gemma/terms', whose Appendix lists Gemma 2 and Gemma 3). The entry is kept as history and no longer refuses them; the gemma-terms-of-use row is unchanged.

• Top-level source adds the v0.12.127 resolutions. Still 52 refused entries, 51 re-checked; still 149 items.
• data/corrections-log.json: fix-0.12.127-gated-license-flags-resolved (source_requoted, scoresChanged: false, approvalRef); log asOf 2026-10-26.

0.12.126 — 2026-10-25 — Free index: Context7 flag resolved (key recommended, not required; 'needs a key' reason withdrawn; still not indexed)

No score, pick, ranking, item, plan-limit row, catalog price row or license value changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed.

• Context7 refused entry: the upstash/context7 README and LICENSE and the context7.com plans-pricing, troubleshooting and all-clients docs pages were each fetched twice with plain curl on 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in, following redirects: HTTP 200, no redirect, byte-identical.

Whitespace-normalized quotes string-matched (docs pages tag-stripped).
• Depot data decision (approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u'): the 'needs a key' reason is withdrawn, because the official sources call the key recommended for higher rate limits and do not say it is required. The replacement reason: the only free allowance they state is for a free account with an API key, and they publish no keyless limit for https://mcp.context7.com/mcp. Context7 stays out of the index: a row would be a new index addition (kind, jtbdIds, whatYouGet), left for a separate reviewed addition. The v0.12.121 re-check and flag text is kept as history, followed by a dated 'Flag resolved 2026-10-25 (v0.12.126)' sentence. The remote-filesystem MCP search hit was not re-checked.
• Top-level source adds that in v0.12.126 the Context7 entry's flag was resolved against its official README, LICENSE and docs. Still 51 of 52 refused entries re-checked.

0.12.125 — 2026-10-25 — Free index: GlitchTip flag resolved (official repositories on GitLab under MIT; GitHub 404 reason withdrawn; still not indexed)

No score, pick, ranking, item, plan-limit row, catalog price row or license value changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed.

• GlitchTip refused entry: https://glitchtip.com/, the GitLab backend and frontend LICENSE files, the backend README and the meta-repo README were each fetched twice with plain curl on 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in, following redirects: HTTP 200, no redirect, byte-identical. glitchtip.com links href 'https://gitlab.com/glitchtip' and describes GlitchTip as 'an open source, Sentry API compatible error tracking platform'; backend LICENSE 'MIT License' / 'Copyright (c) 2019 GlitchTip', frontend LICENSE 'MIT License' / 'Copyright (c) 2020 GlitchTip'; the backend README says 'With our MIT license, you can use it for anything you'd like and even sell it.' Whitespace-normalized quotes string-matched.
• Depot data decision (approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u'): the GitHub 404 reason is withdrawn, and the entry's lead now says it applied to the GitHub paths only. GlitchTip stays out of the index with the reason replaced: a row would be a new index addition (kind, jtbdIds, whatYouGet), left for a separate reviewed addition. Hosted glitchtip.com plans are not this entry. The v0.12.121 re-check and flag text is kept as history, followed by a dated 'Flag resolved 2026-10-25 (v0.12.125)' sentence.

0.12.124 — 2026-10-25 — Free index: the last 9 refused entries dated 2026-10-03 reviewed (8 re-checked, signup credits has no source page); 5 gated-license entries flagged pending review

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, catalog price row, license value or refused verdict changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed.

• Refused list, 8 entries re-checked against the sources named in each new 'Re-checked 2026-10-25 (v0.12.124)' sentence, each URL fetched twice with plain curl on 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in, following redirects: Llama 4, Llama 3.1/3.2, Gemma 2/3, FLUX.1-dev and GPQA gated Hugging Face /raw/main/ license/README paths answered HTTP 401 both times (401 re-confirmed); HF API model/dataset metadata (HTTP 200) license fields recorded (llama3.1, llama3.2, other/llama4, gemma, other/flux-1-dev-non-commercial-license, qwen-research, cc-by-4.0); llama.com license pages redirect (301, 302, 308) to dev.meta.ai and answer 404 (3.1, 3.2) or 500 (4); the Gemma Terms page still links Gemma 4 to /gemma/apache_2 ('Apache License 2.0'); the Qwen2.5-VL-3B README and LICENSE (Qwen Research) and the 7B README (license: apache-2.0) confirmed; the HF pricing page still says free users must purchase credits (no '$0.10'). Whitespace-normalized quotes string-matched, absence checks case-insensitive.
• Flags (verdict not changed, 'Flag: ... pending review' in the entry): the /resolve/main/ paths serve the Llama 3.1, 3.2 and 4 community license texts, the FLUX.1-dev Non-Commercial License v1.1.1 and the GPQA card (license: cc-by-4.0, gate prompt) without login; the Gemma 2/3 repos ship no LICENSE file (resolve 404 'Entry not found'), and the separate gemma-terms-of-use row already covers Gemma 2 and 3. Nothing was indexed.
• Signup credits: the entry names no source page, so it is marked 'Not re-fetched 2026-10-25 (v0.12.124)' and not counted as re-checked.
• Top-level source now says 51 of 52 refused entries are marked 'Re-checked 2026-10-25' and the signup-credits entry still dates from 2026-10-03.
• data/corrections-log.json: fix-0.12.124-refused-gated-license-recheck (source_requoted, scoresChanged: false).

0.12.123 — 2026-10-25 — Free index: README halves of the 10 v0.12.120 refused entries re-checked; inngest-js 404 re-confirmed

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, catalog price row, license value or refused verdict changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed.

• Refused list, README halves re-checked for the 10 entries whose LICENSE part was re-checked in v0.12.120: nektos/act, Temporal server (plus the LangGraph README it compares against), NATS server, BullMQ, faster-whisper, Kokoro and garak READMEs on raw.githubusercontent.com, each fetched twice with plain curl on 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in, following redirects: HTTP 200, no redirect, byte-identical. Whitespace-normalized quotes string-matched; absence checks (e.g. no 'dead-letter' in BullMQ, no 'firewall' in garak, no 'agent' in Kokoro) case-insensitive. Each entry gains a dated 'Re-checked 2026-10-25 (v0.12.123)' sentence. Verdicts unchanged, no flag.
• Inngest server: the inngest-js LICENSE and LICENSE.md paths returned HTTP 404 both times (404 re-confirmed); the GitHub contents API lists no root LICENSE, while the repo metadata reports GPL-3.0 (recorded, not used; the verdict is about the server). Restate and Nango make no README claim (license-only verdicts), which their new sentence says.
• Top-level source now says the re-check sentences include, in v0.12.123, the README halves of the 10 entries first re-checked in v0.12.120 and the inngest-js 404. Still 43 of 52 entries re-checked; 9 still date from 2026-10-03.
• data/corrections-log.json: fix-0.12.123-refused-readme-recheck (source_requoted, scoresChanged: false).

• package.json / package-lock.json version 0.12.123.

0.12.122 — 2026-10-25 — Free index: 12 more refused-list entries re-checked (8 provider pages, 4 policy entries; 43 of 52 now dated 2026-10-25); OpenRouter page-source numbers flagged pending review

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, catalog price row, license value or refused verdict changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed.

• Refused list, provider-page entries re-checked: OpenRouter RPM/RPD, Gemini API RPM/TPM/RPD, Mistral free-mode amount, Jina token balance, Groq devRows, Workers AI paid-billing models, Hugging Face PRO and Team credits, Cerebras always-free tier. Each official page fetched twice with plain curl on 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in, following redirects: HTTP 200, no redirect; byte-identical except OpenRouter, Gemini and Hugging Face, which differ only in per-request inline script values (tag-stripped text identical). Whitespace-normalized quotes string-matched; each entry gains a dated 'Re-checked 2026-10-25 (v0.12.122)' sentence naming the URL and quotes. Verdicts unchanged.
• Policy entries (pgvector/OpenRouter, EUR, CAPTCHA, picks) re-checked against Depot's own data (no external source page): pgvector providerId still null, no non-OpenRouter price row cites openrouter.ai, no free row mentions EUR or CAPTCHA/spam/cracked, doesNotChangeDepotPicks/doesNotBoostScores true and the /api/actionable sweep byte-identical.
• Flag (pending review, verdict not changed): the OpenRouter limits page's rendered free-model table cells are still empty, but an inline script on the page now defines FREE_MODEL_RATE_LIMIT_RPM=20, FREE_MODEL_NO_CREDITS_RPD=50, FREE_MODEL_HAS_CREDITS_RPD=1e3 and FREE_MODEL_CREDITS_THRESHOLD=10. No value stored.
• Top-level source now says the refused list dates from 2026-10-03 except the 43 entries marked 'Re-checked 2026-10-25'. 9 entries still date from 2026-10-03 (gated model licenses and signup credits).

0.12.121 — 2026-10-25 — Free index: 21 more refused-list entries re-checked against their own sources (31 of 52 now dated 2026-10-25); Context7 and GlitchTip flagged pending review

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, catalog price row, license value or refused verdict changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed.

• Refused list: 21 entries re-checked — Weaviate, AutoGPT (LICENSE), InternLM2.5, LLaVA 1.5, XTTS-v2, CLIP (Hugging Face card README), Daytona (LICENSE 404), Context7, langgraph-deploy, Cal.com, LiteLLM, GlitchTip, Letta, whisper.cpp, Piper, Chroma, Qdrant, Unstructured, Playwright, Guardrails AI, LLM Guard (LICENSE/COPYING and/or README). Each source fetched twice with plain curl on 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in, following redirects: HTTP 200, no redirect, byte-identical (or HTTP 404 both times for the Daytona LICENSE, glitchtip-backend LICENSE and .github profile README on GitHub, and piper1-gpl LICENSE / LICENSE.md). Whitespace-normalized quotes string-matched; each entry gains a dated 'Re-checked 2026-10-25 (v0.12.121)' sentence naming the URL(s) and quotes. Verdicts unchanged.
• Flags (pending review, verdicts not changed): Context7 README now says 'API Key Recommended' for higher rate limits, so 'needs a key' may no longer hold for the hosted MCP; GlitchTip's official GitLab repository (glitchtip.com links gitlab.com/glitchtip) serves an MIT LICENSE ('Copyright (c) 2019 GlitchTip'), so the GitHub 404 reason does not hold for it. Wording note on Unstructured: the README no longer says chunking/embedding/vector database (the reason for not retagging still holds).
• Top-level source now says the refused list dates from 2026-10-03 except the 31 entries marked 'Re-checked 2026-10-25'. 21 entries still date from 2026-10-03 (gated model licenses and provider-page entries).

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, catalog price row, license value or refused verdict changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed.

• langfuse-oss: the raw LICENSE (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langfuse/langfuse/main/LICENSE) fetched twice with plain curl on 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in: HTTP 200, no redirect, byte-identical. It lists '"ee/", "web/src/ee/", "worker/src/ee/", and/or "packages/shared/src/server/ee/"' as licensed under ee/LICENSE and content outside them under the '"MIT Expat" license' ('Copyright (c) 2023-2026 ClickHouse, Inc.'). notes now names all four directories and says the flag is resolved. license 'MIT Expat outside ee/' and whatYouGet (which does not enumerate directories) unchanged; kind, cost, limits, sourceUrl, jtbdIds and asOf unchanged.
• Refused list: 10 of 52 entries re-checked. Each LICENSE fetched twice (HTTP 200, no redirect, byte-identical) and whitespace-normalized quotes string-matched: nektos/act 'MIT License', Inngest server LICENSE.md 'Server Side Public License, Version 1.0' / 'Apache 2.0 Future License', Temporal server 'The MIT License', Restate 'Business Source License 1.1', Nango 'Elastic License 2.0 (ELv2)', NATS server, garak and Kokoro 'Apache License Version 2.0, January 2004', BullMQ and faster-whisper 'MIT License'. Each entry gains a dated 'Re-checked 2026-10-25' sentence naming the URL; verdicts unchanged; README parts not re-fetched (said in each entry). The other 42 entries still date from 2026-10-03.
• Top-level source now says the refused list dates from official pages fetched 2026-10-03 except the 10 entries marked 'Re-checked 2026-10-25'.

0.12.119 — 2026-10-25 — Free index: the last 21 dev_tool rows re-checked against their own LICENSE sources (asOf 2026-10-03 → 2026-10-25); langfuse-oss flagged; guardrails README cutoff re-confirmed

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, catalog price row or license value changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed.

• dev_tool rows inspect-ai, lancedb, langfuse-oss, langgraph, litellm-oss, llm-guard, markitdown, mcp-python-sdk, mcp-servers, mem0, ntfy, pgvector, playwright, promptfoo, qdrant-oss, ragas, ray, reviewdog, signoz, sqlite, trigger-dev: each sourceUrl fetched twice with plain curl on 2026-10-25 about 10 s apart without logging in, following redirects: all HTTP 200, no redirect. The 9 raw.githubusercontent.com sources and https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html were byte-identical. The 11 GitHub blob pages (inspect-ai, lancedb, langfuse-oss, litellm-oss, markitdown, mcp-python-sdk, mcp-servers, pgvector, playwright, promptfoo, qdrant-oss) differ only in page chrome, so their raw LICENSE files were fetched twice too (byte-identical).
• Licenses confirmed (whitespace-normalized quotes string-matched): MIT (inspect-ai 'Copyright (c) 2024 UK AI Security Institute', langgraph 'Copyright (c) 2024 LangChain, Inc.', markitdown 'Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.', mcp-python-sdk 'Copyright (c) 2024 Anthropic, PBC', reviewdog 'Copyright (c) 2016 haya14busa', llm-guard 'The MIT License (MIT)', promptfoo 'Copyright (c) Promptfoo 2025' with MIT permission text); MIT outside enterprise/ (litellm-oss); MIT Expat outside ee/ (signoz, langfuse-oss); MIT to Apache-2.0 transition (mcp-servers); PostgreSQL License (pgvector); Public Domain (sqlite, 'SQLite Is Public Domain'); Apache-2.0 'Apache License Version 2.0, January 2004' (lancedb, mem0, ntfy, playwright, qdrant-oss, ragas, ray, trigger-dev). Apache files end with the standard appendix; ray's file continues with notices for bundled third-party code.
• Flagged, not re-labelled: the langfuse LICENSE now lists 'packages/shared/src/server/ee/' alongside 'ee/', 'web/src/ee/' and 'worker/src/ee/' as covered by ee/LICENSE (GitHub commits API: changed 2026-10-23, 'chore(license): include packages/shared/src/server/ee in the enterprise license (#17877)'). The row's older note lists only the first three directories. The license value 'MIT Expat outside ee/' stays as stored pending review; the row's notes say so.
• guardrails: README.md re-fetched twice (HTTP 200, no redirect, byte-identical). It still says hosted remote inferencing is being discontinued, 'Planned cutoff: August 25, 2026.' The note now records the re-fetch instead of 'README not re-fetched'.
• data/free-resources.json: each of the 21 rows gains a dated re-check sentence in notes; asOf 2026-10-03 → 2026-10-25; no sourceUrl moved. kind, cost, license, limits, whatYouGet and jtbdIds unchanged. No row is left at asOf 2026-10-03, so the top-level source now says all 149 rows were last fetched from their own official source pages 2026-10-19 to 2026-10-25 and only the refused list dates from official pages fetched 2026-10-03.
• data/corrections-log.json: fix-0.12.119-dev-tool-license-recheck (source_requoted, scoresChanged: false).

It opens 'Apache License Version 2.0, January 2004' and still ends with the 'Attribution Requirement' section ('All distributions, publications, or public uses of this software, or derivative works based on this software, must include the following attribution'). license 'Apache-2.0' → 'Apache-2.0 plus attribution requirement' (same style as mineru's 'Apache-2.0 plus additional commercial terms'); the v0.12.117 flag is resolved in notes. Data decision by Agent Depo under Ethan's delegation (approvalRef 'Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u').
• a2a-protocol, agents-md: https://a2a-protocol.org/latest/ and https://agents.md/ fetched twice (HTTP 200, no redirect, byte-identical; titles 'A2A Protocol' and 'AGENTS.md'); notes gain the dated re-check.
• dev_tool rows browser-use, centrifugo, chroma, composio-sdk, dagger, devcontainers-spec, duckdb, e2b-sdk, graphiti, guardrails, hatchet, huggingface-transformers: each sourceUrl fetched twice (all HTTP 200, no redirect; the 5 GitHub blob pages differ only in page chrome, so their raw LICENSE files were fetched twice too, byte-identical). Licenses confirmed: MIT (browser-use, composio-sdk, duckdb, hatchet), Apache-2.0 (centrifugo, chroma, dagger, e2b-sdk, graphiti, guardrails, huggingface-transformers), CC-BY-4.0 (devcontainers-spec). Each row gains a dated re-check sentence; asOf 2026-10-03 → 2026-10-25; no sourceUrl moved; kind, cost, license, limits, whatYouGet and jtbdIds unchanged.

• Flagged, not re-labelled: the crawl4ai LICENSE ends with an 'Attribution Requirement' section (all distributions, publications or public uses must include a stated attribution) that the stored license value 'Apache-2.0' does not capture. The GitHub commits API lists the last LICENSE change on 2025-02-21, so the term predates the 2026-10-03 fetch. The license value stays as stored pending review; the row's notes say so.

Only the 33 dev_tool rows are left at 2026-10-03, so the top-level asOf moves to 2026-10-25 (the newest row asOf) and the top-level source now says rows carry their own asOf, with the dev_tool rows and the refused list still dating from official pages fetched 2026-10-03 (validate-data now checks this instead of pinning 2026-10-03).

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, free-resource row or catalog price row changed. No GET /api/actionable pick changed.

• Repro 1 (GET /api/stack?task=deploy a next.js site and send magic link emails): already fixed in v0.12.1 (app-hosting + transactional-email + auth); locked with an explicit HTTP + offline regression guard in scripts/check-matcher.mjs.
• Repro 2 (GET /api/search?q=host static site): src/lib/agentNative/search.ts discounts whenNotTopPick-only term hits (fieldDiscount = 0.3) when computing got and gotDistinct, so cloud-browser (which only mentioned "self-host" and "Static HTML only" in whenNotTopPick) no longer clears the match cutoff or hijacks next.decideFirstJob. Added JTBD search synonyms/tags so static-site-hosting (pack_job, #1) is followed by edge-deploy (jtbd, #2, next.decideFirstJob: "/api/decide?jtbd=edge-deploy") and app-hosting (jtbd, #3).
• Repro 3 (GET /api/kit?class=personal-assistant): data/agent-classes.json adds transactional-email and sms to personal-assistant.needs.jtbdIds right after calendar-scheduling-tools, so GET /api/kit?class=personal-assistant includes email (resend pick, quote.cheapest: amazon-ses $0.10/1k) and messaging (twilio pick, quote.cheapest: twilio $0.0083/msg) with populated quote.cheapest.
• Repro 4 (GET /api/decide?jtbd=transactional-email): buildDecideCard in src/lib/decide.ts now surfaces tie (true when pick and top runner-up are within 0.10 on job-weighted overall), scoreGap (0.02), decidingFactor ("developerDx (9.6 vs 8.8)"), and tieNote, matching /api/answer.
• Repro 5 (Stack awareness have= / existing= across /api/stack, /api/decide, /api/kit, /api/answer): parseContext in src/lib/context.ts accepts have= and stack= as aliases for existing=, expands provider family aliases (cloudflare → cloudflare-workers/cloudflare-pages/etc., aws/ses → amazon-ses, gcp, github) in rank order in keepExisting, matches existing against whenNotTopPick cues (vercel, cloudflare, aws, netlify), and surfaces the mailbox-send pack job advice on transactional-email when sender=human|gmail|workspace or existing includes gmail/google-workspace/outlook. GET /api/decide and GET /api/kit now accept existing=/have= and return stackContext, keep, and contextAdvice.

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, free row, lifecycle item or catalog price row changed. No page was fetched; every value comes from the stored v0.12.89 notice.

• GET /api/check and the MCP check tool (src/lib/checkStack.ts) gain the flag retirement_announced for a provider whose data/provider-lifecycle.json item has status retirement_announced. Before, smithery returned only detail.lifecycle with no flag, so a CI gate could not warn or fail on it. Warning only: not in the default failOn (deprecated,retired); failOn=retirement_announced makes it fail.
• New detail.retirement (null unless the status is retirement_announced): announced, effective, daysUntilEffective, sourceUrl, noticeAsOf, quote, stopsWorking, stays, successorNote and a rule, all copied from the stored notice. A field the notice lacks is null with a reason (effectiveReason: no_date_in_stored_notice, sourceUrlReason, stopsWorkingReason, staysReason, successorNoteReason); nothing is inferred. smithery: effective 2026-10-31, sourceUrl https://smithery.ai/future, asOf 2026-10-24, the stored quote and stop/stay scope. helicone (maintenance_mode) and bing-search (retired) are unchanged and carry no retirement detail.

• data/free-resources.json row google-ai-studio: kind free_docs -> free_tool. The quote is about using a hosted product, not reading docs, so the row now counts as a service row (FREE_SERVICE_KINDS) and is no longer listed as reference material. whatYouGet and notes re-quoted from the 2026-10-24 fetch (the old note quoted a 2026-10-19 fetch); asOf 2026-10-03 -> 2026-10-24. cost free, limits null (no numeric studio quota or rate limit is stated), license null, sourceUrl and jtbdIds (frontier-chat) unchanged.
• Effect on GET /api/actionable: none. Full before/after sweep over all 174 jobs: no pick's terms, sources, reasons or autoActOk changed. google-ai picks (long-context-agents, multimodal) keep ["usage","free"] with the free source still the earlier gemini-2.5-search-grounding-free row; termsFor() keeps the first source per term.

0.12.93 — 2026-10-24 — Actionable terms: 'free' only from free rows that describe the provider's own service

No score, pick, ranking, plan-limit row, free row or catalog price row changed.

• GET /api/actionable (and the compact actionable in /api/answer): termsFor() used to add billing term free for any data/free-resources.json row with the provider's providerId and cost free, whatever its kind. Free docs/spec rows therefore made paid or unpriced picks look free: mcp-discovery (mcp-registry) showed terms ["free"] from mcp-spec-2026-07-28 (the MCP specification docs), which also hid cancellable_unknown; the anthropic picks (frontier-chat, coding-agent, agent-tools, prompt-caching-optimization, diff-aware-pr-review) showed ["usage","free"] from anthropic-docs; synthetic-eval-data (openai) from openai-api-docs; google-ai's free source was the gemma-terms-of-use open-weights row. The rows themselves say otherwise ("Reading them is free. API calls are not."; "Docs access is not the Free Plan quota.").
• Now only rows whose kind is in FREE_SERVICE_KINDS (src/lib/freeResources.ts: free_inference, free_embedding, free_speech, free_rerank, free_image, free_tool, free_ocr, free_browser, free_sandbox, free_vector, free_mcp, free_database, free_email, free_hosting, free_queue) feed free; free_docs, open_weights, local_runtime, dev_tool and free_data never do, and a new kind is excluded until classified. Result: mcp-discovery terms ["unknown"] with reasons billing_terms_unknown and cancellable_unknown:cancellation_terms_not_sourced (autoActOk stays null); anthropic and openai picks ["usage"]; groq, google-ai and cohere keep free from their own Free Plan / free-request / trial rows. The rules text in the response and the OpenAPI description say so.
• data/corrections-log.json fix-0.12.93-actionable-free-term-from-docs-rows (wrong_billing_term, scoresChanged false).
• check:data: kind-split guard, per-provider docs-row guards, a no-leak guard over every non-service free row, a keep-guard for groq / google-ai / cohere (offline via termsFor()), and HTTP guards on /api/actionable for mcp-discovery, frontier-chat, coding-agent, agent-tools, synthetic-eval-data and ultra-low-latency. Confirmed to fail on the 0.12.92 code (6 offline, 6 HTTP).

The row lives only in data/free-resources.json (no seed/providers.ts/content mirror). GET /api/actionable no longer derives a free term from this row; it still shows terms free for the mcp-registry pick via the separate mcp-spec-2026-07-28 row (the MCP specification docs, providerId mcp-registry, cost free), which this release did not change.

• Official MCP Registry (data/providers.json, research/providers-seed.json, src/data/providers.ts): strength "Free open API for agent discovery" -> "Unauthenticated read-only REST API for agent discovery" (also in the description's Strengths list); tag free removed (no source states free).

The Anthropic URL does resolve (HTTP 200) but serves the docs of an "MCP Subregistry Server" that names the Official MCP Registry as its upstream, not the official registry's own API docs. Numeric scores unchanged (overall 8.19).
• Smithery: strengths "Practical MCP marketplace + hosting" -> "Public (non-proxied) MCP server directory; hosting ends 2026-10-31"; "OAuth/runtime connection polish for agents" -> "Registry pages show direct MCP URLs for a curated set of verified servers"; weakness "Hosting lock-in risk for private servers" -> "Server URLs, API, Connect, accounts, CLI and SDKs stop working 2026-10-31"; tag hosting removed. Tagline was already directory-only. Scores unchanged (overall 7.7).
• Not changed (catalog row, out of scope): data/free-resources.json row mcp-registry still has cost "free" ("free of a Depot-listed price", asOf 2026-10-03).
• check:data: STALE_TEXT_PHRASES + NEW_TEXT guards for mcp-registry and smithery (providers.json record, seed and providers.ts mirrors, and HTTP /api/providers/{id}); scores-untouched guard.

0.12.90 — 2026-10-24 — Post-Smithery leftovers: contract points hosted MCP search to Glama; Official MCP Registry note re-sourced

No score, pick, plan-limit row or catalog price row changed.

• src/lib/marketplaceContract.ts (GET /api/canonical notCanonicalFor): "Hosted MCP search, install, or tool-level schemas" now says "Glama MCP Directory API (server and remote-connector search; API key required)" with url https://glama.ai/mcp/api, replacing "Smithery or Glama" and https://smithery.ai/docs/api-reference/servers/list-all-servers (the Smithery API stops on 2026-10-31 per https://smithery.ai/future). glama.ai/mcp/api was fetched twice with curl on 2026-10-24 (HTTP 200, identical tag-stripped text) and says "Search Glama's curated catalog of open-source servers and remote connectors, inspect their capabilities" and "Directory read endpoints require an API key." (its OpenAPI document lists GET /v1/servers and /v1/connectors). Shape unchanged.
• Official MCP Registry pricingNotes re-sourced in data/providers.json, research/providers-seed.json and src/data/providers.ts (now "As of 2026-10-24") from https://modelcontextprotocol.io/registry/registry-aggregators and https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/blob/main/docs/reference/api/official-registry-api.md, each fetched twice with curl about 10 s apart (identical tag-stripped text), every quoted segment string-matched: unauthenticated read-only REST API, GET /v0.1/servers, hourly-scrape expectation, simple name search ("use a subregistry" for more), preview / no uptime or durability guarantees, namespace-based publishing auth. Neither page publishes a price, so the note says no price is stated; dropped "Free ...", "No usage fees" and "aggregators (Smithery, Glama) enrich and host".
• Weaknesses: mcp-registry "Sparse UX vs Smithery/Glama directories" -> "Sparse UX vs Glama/PulseMCP directories"; pulse-mcp "Not a hosting runtime like Smithery/Glama" -> "Not a hosting runtime like Glama" (Glama's API lists "Hosted MCP server instances"). Directory-only Smithery mentions (glama, pulse-mcp descriptions, aws-agent-registry) kept.
• check:data: STALE_NOTE_PHRASES + mcp-registry (offline and HTTP); guards for the contract URL (file and HTTP /api/canonical), pulse-mcp weaknesses and no "free" claim in the mcp-registry note.

0.12.89 — 2026-10-24 — Smithery connection-services shutdown: picks replaced for mcp-discovery and mcp-server-hosting

No score changed. Editorial pick replacement under Ethan's delegation (approvalRef "Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u"; decided by Agent Depo on 2026-10-24).

• Source: https://smithery.ai/future (also bannered on https://smithery.ai/pricing), fetched twice with curl on 2026-10-24 about 10 s apart with identical tag-stripped text; every stored quote string-matched. "On October 31, 2026, we're shutting down Smithery's connection management services." "Smithery will remain as a public (non-proxied) MCP registry." Stops working on October 31: server URLs on run.tools and server.smithery.ai; Smithery API, Connect, and Toolbox; Smithery accounts and API keys; the Smithery CLI and SDKs. Paid plans are refunded since August 5 and cancelled.
• data/provider-lifecycle.json: new smithery item, status retirement_announced (partial shutdown), effective 2026-10-31, verbatim quote, scope quotes (what stays / stops), successorNote (stays a public non-proxied directory; the page names Arcade.dev as its directory provider; Arcade is not a catalog provider). Three affected roles, all resolved with the t55u approvalRef.
• mcp-server-hosting: pick smithery (7.87 for this job) -> cloudflare-workers (8.52, highest-scoring live runner-up by the job's own weights, src/lib/scoring.ts scoreForJtbd). smithery removed from the job and from its own jtbdIds; cloudflare-workers jtbdIds gain mcp-server-hosting (every pick lists its job).
• mcp-discovery: pick smithery (7.7) -> mcp-registry (8.19, highest-scoring live runner-up). smithery kept as the last runner-up for its public directory only. Rationale, methodologyNotes and whenNotTopPick no longer say "Smithery to connect/run".
• agent-tool-router: smithery is neither pick nor runner-up; it stays in smithery's jtbdIds (recorded in the lifecycle item).
• Smithery record (data/providers.json, research/providers-seed.json, src/data/providers.ts): pricingNotes re-sourced "As of 2026-10-24" quoting the shutdown, refund and cancellation lines; the 2026-09-14 $10 PAYG and $0.10 / 1K RPC prices were dropped (no Smithery catalog price rows exist, so none changed). Tagline/description/notes no longer call it the Depot pick; tag retirement-announced; status stays active until 2026-10-31. mcp-registry and glama descriptions no longer say Depot picks Smithery to run/connect.
• data/corrections-log.json fix-0.12.89-smithery-connect-shutdown-picks-replaced (editorial_pick_replacement, scoresChanged false); data/runner-up-review.json regenerated (rur-mcp-discovery resolved, 69 entries); content/seo/jtbds/mcp-discovery.md updated to the new pick.
• check:data: smithery guards (lifecycle item, no smithery pick, new picks, roles resolved, scores untouched, corrections entry; HTTP job endpoints, /api/check lifecycle detail, score-review roles) and STALE_NOTE_PHRASES + smithery.

0.12.88 — 2026-10-24 — Vantage, ClickHouse Cloud and Cloudflare Browser Run pricingNotes re-sourced

No score, pick, plan-limit row or catalog price row changed. Notes-only.

• pricingNotes re-sourced in data/providers.json, research/providers-seed.json and src/data/providers.ts (now "As of 2026-10-24"). Each official page was fetched twice with curl on 2026-10-24, about 10 s apart, with identical tag-stripped text, and every quoted segment was string-matched against it (Vantage 22, ClickHouse 21, Cloudflare 15 segments, 0 missing).
• Vantage (https://www.vantage.sh/pricing): tiers unchanged (Starter Free / $2,500, 3 users; Pro $30 /month / $7,500, 5 users; Business $200 /month / $20,000, 10 users; Enterprise Custom, unlimited). Retention is now quoted per the table (6 Months Starter/Pro, 12 Months Business). "30+ integrations" is replaced by the page's "40+ Supported Providers". "LLM Token Allocation / custom LLM enrichment at no extra charge" was removed: the page lists LLM Token Allocation as a feature but its text states no tier availability or price for it. data/pricing-rows.json Vantage rows (Starter $0, Pro $30, Business $200) still match and are untouched; the note has no "$A/$B" pair, so check:notes is unaffected.
• ClickHouse Cloud (https://clickhouse.com/pricing; us-east-1 list rates): the docs-example totals "~$66.52/mo" and "~$499/mo" and "~$25.30/TB-mo class in examples" are replaced by the pricing page's own rates: storage $25.30 per 1TB / mo on all plans; compute per unit / hr Basic $0.2181, Scale $0.2985, Enterprise $0.3903; "One compute unit is 8 GiB of RAM and 2 vCPUs" (replacing "8GB RAM increments"), metered per minute; egress from $0.1152 / GB public, $0.0312 / GB inter-region; ingress free; $300 trial credits for 30 days; marketplace pricing identical. No monthly totals are quoted (the page has none in text). No units converted.
• Cloudflare Browser Rendering (https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/pricing/, redirected from /browser-rendering/platform/pricing; the product is now "Cloudflare Browser Run"; page "Last updated Apr 21, 2026"): Workers Free 10 minutes per day and 3 browsers; Workers Paid 10 hours per month then $0.09 per additional hour, 10 browsers averaged monthly then $2.00 per additional browser; concurrency is the monthly average of daily peaks; hours rounded to the nearest whole hour; waitForTimeout failures not charged. Removed the editorial "Tied to Workers plans — attractive if already on CF Workers/R2/AI Gateway" and the "10 min browser-hrs/day" shorthand. The "Edge-colocated" wording lives in this provider's strengths/description, not its note, and is left unchanged (notes-only scope).
• Skipped: Smithery (https://smithery.ai/pricing renders its plan cards client-side; the tag-stripped text has no prices, only the banner "Smithery's MCP Proxy and managed identity shut down on October 31."; prices exist only in the inline RSC payload, which earlier runs do not quote) and BrowserStack (https://www.browserstack.com/pricing served 4 different tag-stripped variants in 5 fetches, A/B copy, and its ~220k-character multi-product tabbed text does not attribute prices to products cleanly).
• check:data STALE_NOTE_PHRASES +3 providers (offline and HTTP). Agent-directed text on the Cloudflare docs page (an llms.txt documentation-index pointer) was ignored.

Each official page was fetched twice with curl on 2026-10-24, about 10 s apart, with identical tag-stripped text, and every quoted segment was string-matched against it.
• Cloudflare Workers AI (https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/platform/pricing/): $0.011 per 1,000 Neurons and 10,000 free Neurons per day still match. The "~" approximations ("~$0.045/$0.384 per 1M", "bge-m3 embeddings $0.012/MTok") are replaced by the exact per-model token prices, which the page notes are equivalents while billing stays in neurons. "Workers Paid required ... for some frontier models" now reads as the page puts it: some listed models require a paid billing method (Workers Paid or prepaid AI Gateway credits). The unsourced "Edge-colocated with Workers/AI Gateway" was removed.
• NVIDIA NIM (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/ai-data-science/products/nim-microservices/): NVIDIA publishes no NIM price page, and this product page states no price figures, so the production licence price stays null. The note now quotes free development and testing access through the NVIDIA Developer Program and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise licence for production. Removed "NGC catalog free to pull many containers", "(DGX, neocloud, hyperscaler)" and "production support is licensed" (none of these is on the page).
• Salad (https://salad.com/pricing/): $0.015 per GPU-hour at Lowest priority, per-second billing, free allocation/download/start and CPU at $0.005 per vCPU-hour + $0.001 per GB RAM-hour still match. Added example tier rates (RTX 4090, RTX 5090), the preemption wording for each tier, the volume-discount threshold (above 100 GPUs), Salad Dedicated "quoted per allocation and term", and no free trial. Removed the "post 2026-09-12 price-change blog" source and the unsourced "Interruptible/batch-first — not stateful low-latency SLAs".
• Promptfoo (https://www.promptfoo.dev/pricing/): Community Free Forever with red teaming at 10k probes/month (no longer "~10k"), Enterprise and On-Premise Custom (quote only; Enterprise can buy more probes). Removed "MIT" (the page says open-source but names no licence), "Judge-model API costs extra" and "Best CI-native prompt eval + red teaming" (not on the page).
• check:data STALE_NOTE_PHRASES +4 providers (offline and HTTP). Agent-directed text on the Cloudflare docs page (an llms.txt documentation-index pointer) was ignored.

0.12.86 — 2026-10-24 — Modal, turbopuffer, Zep and MotherDuck pricingNotes re-sourced

No score, pick, plan-limit row or catalog price row changed. Notes-only.

• pricingNotes re-sourced in data/providers.json, research/providers-seed.json and src/data/providers.ts (now "As of 2026-10-24"). Each official page was fetched twice with curl on 2026-10-24, about 10 s apart, with identical tag-stripped text, and every quoted segment was string-matched against it.
• Modal (https://modal.com/pricing): "H100 effective ~$3–4/hr class depending on SKU" is replaced by the page's per-second list rates (H100 SXM5 $0.001097/sec and others; CPU and memory per second), the region (1.15 - 1.75x) and non-preemptible (3x) multipliers, the 60-second billed keep-alive, Starter $0 + compute with $30/month credits, Team $250 + compute with $100/month credits, and Shared Endpoints billed per token (from September 1, 2026). No per-hour conversion is stated.
• turbopuffer (https://turbopuffer.com/pricing): plan minimums unchanged ($16 / $256 / >= $4,096 + 35% usage premium). The unsourced "(Feb 2026)" query-rate date and the "Namespace pinning (min 128 GB billed Aug 2026)" item were removed because neither is on the page. Added the calculator rates (Storage ≤ $0.33 per GB, Writes ≤ $2.00 per GB, Queries ≤ $1.00 per PB), the query marginal discounts (80% / 96%), the 10 KB write minimum and the batch discount.
• Zep (https://www.getzep.com/pricing): "~$104 annual" was removed (the page shows "Save 17%" but publishes no annual price in its text), as was the hedged "Retrieval/storage often unmetered". The note now quotes the exact credits: Free 10,000/month; Flex $125 with 50,000 included, then $25 / 10,000; Flex Plus $375 with 200,000 included, then $75 / 40,000; rollover 30/60 days; "0 credits for retrieval, storage, threads, users, and graph storage."
• MotherDuck (https://motherduck.com/product/pricing/): "Flights (agent-native pipelines) $0.60/hr" is replaced by the sized Flight rates (F4 $0.15, F16 $0.60, F32 $1.20 per hour, billed per second), including F4's 30 free minutes a day on Lite without a card. Everything else in the note still matches the page.
• Checked and still matching, so unchanged: Upstash QStash (https://upstash.com/pricing/qstash) and Voyage (https://docs.voyageai.com/docs/pricing).
• check:data STALE_NOTE_PHRASES +4 providers (offline and HTTP). Agent-directed text on the pages (Upstash, Voyage) was ignored.

0.12.85 — 2026-10-24 — every depot pick lists its job; Hookdeck pricingNotes re-sourced

No score, pick, plan-limit row or catalog price row changed.

• Data hygiene, generalized: 39 jobs had a depot pick whose provider did not list that job in jtbdIds. The fix adds the job to 38 providers (Anthropic gains two) in data/providers.json, research/providers-seed.json (jtbds) and src/data/providers.ts, appended at the end of each list: chutes, voyage, braintrust, anthropic (prompt-caching-optimization, diff-aware-pr-review), twilio, composio, reducto, motherduck, doppler, clickhouse-cloud, openai, predibase, modal, browserstack, skyvern, smithery, stytch, cloudflare-ai-gateway, restate, upstash-qstash, temporal-cloud, vantage, crusoe, amazon-bedrock, nvidia-nim, cloudflare-workers-ai, cognee, jina, langsmith, arthur-ai, promptfoo, weights-biases, turbopuffer, hookdeck (inbound-webhook-gateway), parallel, ideogram, onesignal and salad. Ranking pools and roles already included the pick, so nothing is reordered: these providers are now listed as serving the job on /api/providers/{id} and their provider pages. Runner-ups have the same gap (247 of 745 runner-up slots, 146 providers). That is reported only, not changed.
• check:data now asserts, offline, that every job's depot pick lists the job in all three copies and that provider jtbdIds are identical across the copies. Over HTTP, it asserts that /api/providers/{id} lists the job for every depot pick provider.
• Hookdeck pricingNotes were re-sourced from https://hookdeck.com/pricing (fetched twice with curl on 2026-10-24, byte-identical; every quoted segment was string-matched against the tag-stripped text). "As of 2026-10-24": the page text says "Event pricing as low as $0.33 per 100k." The old note's "$3/100k down to $0.35/100k" came from the inline calculator script, not the rendered text, and has been removed, as has "99.999% uptime SLA" on Growth (the card says "Uptime & latency SLAs"). data/pricing-rows.json has no Hookdeck rows, so no --catalog step was needed. check:data guards against the stale phrases offline and over HTTP.

0.12.84 — 2026-10-24 — inbound-webhook-gateway priced on Hookdeck events in /api/estimate

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Three new plan-limit rows and one conflicts entry from a fresh official source; no new reason code.

• data/limits.json: Hookdeck (depot pick for inbound-webhook-gateway, which had no primary metric and whose pick had no plan-limit rows) gains three rows "Developer / Team / Growth" on its own unit, new meter hookdeck_events, from https://hookdeck.com/pricing (fetched 2026-10-24 with curl twice, server-rendered Astro HTML, byte-identical; cross-checked with WebFetch of the same URL; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the tag-stripped text): cards "Developer Always $0 /month Features Up to 10,000 events", "Team Starts at $39 /month … Pay-as-you-go", "Growth Starts at $499 /month"; "An event is a message – a webhook, for example – that's delivered to a destination, such as your API."; table "Included monthly events … 10,000 10,000 10,000 Custom" and "Additional events … Metered billing Metered billing Metered billing"; FAQ "The price of an event includes all its retries." and "The usage billing is pro-rated by 10k. For example the price for 10,000 events on our team plan is 0$, 10,001 events is 0.3$ and 20,000 events is (still) 0.3$ and 20,001 events is 0.6$."
• Developer $0 / 10,000 events, no overage (no_overage_on_free_plan; events keep arriving but "the dashboard will become locked", so no hard cap claimed); Team $39 / 10,000 then $0.30 per whole 10,000-event block (wholeUnits, from the FAQ example), an upper bound under the existing code tiered_overage_thresholds_not_published ("Event pricing as low as $0.33 per 100k." without thresholds in the page text); Growth $499 / 10,000, no Growth overage rate published (overage_rate_not_published), never cheaper than Team on this meter. Upper-bound rows 19 → 20.
• New conflicts entry: the server-rendered "$1.00 per additional 100k" text (overwritten by the page's calculator script on load) and the inline calculator script's tiers ("// First tier: Up to 5M at $3.00 per 100k" … "// Sixth tier: Over 500M at $0.35 per 100k", charged from the first event in whole 100k blocks) disagree with the FAQ's worked example; safe assumption: follow the FAQ ($0.30 per whole 10,000 above 10,000) and mark the estimate an upper bound. The script's tiers are not applied.
• jobPrimaryMetric.inbound-webhook-gateway → hookdeck_events (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Depot never converts requests, webhooks received, connections, destinations, retries or throughput into events. Worked examples: workload=10000 → Developer $0; 10001 → Team $39.30; 20000 → $39.30; 20001 → $39.60; 100000 → $41.70; 1000000 → $68.70; 5000000 → $188.70; 10000000 → $338.70. Runners-up are not costed on it; outbound-webhooks (Hookdeck a runner-up) costs Hookdeck only on an explicit hookdeck_events=N. The svix_messages metric text now says inbound-webhook-gateway uses hookdeck_events.
• Not encoded: discarded requests (100,000 included, "+$2.50 per million"), additional throughput above 5 events/second per destination, Static IP ("+ $100"), support add-ons, the Growth startup discount, Enterprise, Outpost and taxes. data/pricing-rows.json has no Hookdeck rows, so no --catalog step; providers.json pricingNotes (as of 2026-09-14) unchanged.
• Data hygiene: Zep's jtbdIds now include episodic-long-term-memory (Zep is that job's depot pick) in data/providers.json, research/providers-seed.json and src/data/providers.ts; validate-data accepts it. No score or pick changed.
• OpenAPI (/api/estimate); check:limits +9 offline (plus generic per-row checks over the 3 new rows; Svix wiring and upper-bound count assertions updated), +1 HTTP; check:data +1 offline, +1 HTTP (Zep jtbdIds).

0.12.83 — 2026-10-24 — temporal-graph-memory and episodic-long-term-memory priced on Zep credits in /api/estimate

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Three new plan-limit rows and one conflicts entry from a fresh official source; no new reason code.

• data/limits.json: Zep (depot pick for temporal-graph-memory and episodic-long-term-memory, which had no primary metric and whose pick had no plan-limit rows) gains three rows "Free / Flex / Flex Plus" on its own unit, new meter zep_credits, from https://www.getzep.com/pricing (fetched 2026-10-24 with curl, server-rendered HTML, a second curl fetch identical; cross-checked with WebFetch of the same URL; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the tag-stripped text): "Self-serve plans are credit based."; cards "Flex $125 / month billed monthly 50,000 credits included. Then $25 / 10,000 credits.", "Flex Plus $375 / month billed monthly 200,000 credits included. Then $75 / 40,000 credits.", "Prototyping?

No rollover or auto-topup.".
• Free $0 / 10,000 credits, no overage (no_overage_on_free_plan), no hard cap claimed; Flex $125 / 50,000 then $25 per whole 10,000-credit block; Flex Plus $375 / 200,000 then $75 per whole 40,000-credit block (wholeUnits, rounded up; never converted to a per-credit rate). Not upper bounds and not exact for every month: auto top-up timing and 30/60-day rollover are not modelled (about one block either way, stated in notes). The paid plans' "Free trial credits 10,000 / mo" line is ambiguous (duration and stacking not stated); recorded in conflicts, safe assumption: not added.
• jobPrimaryMetric.temporal-graph-memory and jobPrimaryMetric.episodic-long-term-memory → zep_credits (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Depot never converts Episodes, bytes, messages or webhook invocations into credits. Worked examples: workload=10000 → Free $0; 10001 → Flex $125; 32500 (the page's own calculator example) → $125; 50001 → $150; 100000 → Flex $250; 200000 → Flex Plus $375; 1000000 → Flex Plus $1,875. Runners-up are not costed on it; hosted-agent-memory (Zep a runner-up) costs Zep only on an explicit zep_credits=N. The mem0_retrieval_requests metric text now says those two jobs use zep_credits.
• Not encoded: annual billing ("Save 17%"), Enterprise, BYOK/BYOC, rate limits, seats and taxes. data/pricing-rows.json has no Zep rows, so no --catalog step; providers.json pricingNotes (as of 2026-09-14) agree with today's page and are unchanged.
• OpenAPI (/api/estimate); check:limits +9 offline (plus generic per-row checks over the 3 new rows; Mem0 wiring assertion updated for the two jobs), +1 HTTP.

0.12.82 — 2026-10-24 — saas-oauth-integrations priced on Nango connections in /api/estimate (compute hours and data transfer separate meters)

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Two new plan-limit rows from a fresh official source; no new reason code.

• data/limits.json: Nango (depot pick for saas-oauth-integrations, which had no primary metric and whose pick had no plan-limit rows) gains two rows "Free / Pay-as-you-go" on its own units, new meters nango_connections, nango_compute_hours and nango_data_transfer_gb, from https://nango.dev/pricing (fetched 2026-10-24 with curl, server-rendered HTML, a second curl fetch identical; cross-checked with WebFetch of the same URL; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the tag-stripped text): "Start free. Pay only for connections, compute time and data transfer as you grow."; cards "Plans Free $0 /mo API & MCP auth, tools & syncs Hard-capped limits, reset monthly", "Pay-as-you-go $50 /mo Pay-as-you-go rates $50 in credits, each month"; table "Free limits 10 10 hours / mo 10GB / mo Pay-as-you-go $0.29 / connection $0.72 / hour $0.5 / GB Enterprise Commitment discounts Contact us"; "Billed per connection per month, prorated for the time the connection exists."; FAQ "We only measure egress. Ingress transfers are free." and "connections can be as low as $0.01/connection/month at scale." (Enterprise, with commitments).
• Free $0 / 10 connections, 10 hours, 10GB, hard-capped, no overage (no_overage_on_free_plan), exact; Pay-as-you-go $50 with includedUsageCreditUsd 50 (as for Composio Pro), then $0.29 / connection, $0.72 / hour, $0.5 / GB from the first unit: total = $50 + max(0, usage − $50). The page does not say whether the Free limits also apply on Pay-as-you-go, so none is subtracted and the row is an upper bound under the existing code free_monthly_allowance_on_payg_not_stated (as for Tavily and Exa); upper-bound rows 18 → 19.
• jobPrimaryMetric.saas-oauth-integrations → nango_connections (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Compute hours and data transfer are costed only when passed; the three are never added or converted, and Depot never prorates connections (send connection-months). Worked examples: workload=10 → Free $0; 11 → $50; 200 → $58; 1000 → $290; nango_connections=1000,nango_compute_hours=50,nango_data_transfer_gb=20 → $336. Runners-up (Composio, WorkOS) are not costed on these meters; calendar-scheduling-tools (Nango a runner-up, Composio the pick, still not wired) costs Nango only on an explicit meter.
• Not encoded: the Growth add-on ($450/mo), Enterprise commitment discounts, self-hosting / BYOC, support and taxes. No excludedCosts code applies. data/pricing-rows.json has no Nango rows, so no --catalog step; providers.json pricingNotes (as of 2026-09-14) agree with today's page and are unchanged.
• OpenAPI (/api/estimate); check:limits +9 offline (plus generic per-row checks over the 2 new rows; the includedUsageCreditUsd quote check also accepts "$N in credits, each month"), +1 HTTP.

0.12.81 — 2026-10-24 — Composio-managed connection qualifier re-sourced (reviewed catalog step; no re-price)

No score, pick, plan-limit row or catalog amount changed.

• Catalog row `composio-managed-connection` (amount $0.10, unit usd_per_connection, sourceUrl https://composio.dev/pricing, all unchanged): the qualifier "Up to 1K connections free, then $0.10 / connection on paid. Billing period not stated." is replaced, through the reviewed catalog step (page re-checked the same day, row edited, entry in data/price-reviews.json, then node scripts/history.mjs --catalog, run 2026-10-24.1), by "Composio-managed apps only (own app, API key, or MCP connected accounts are 'Unlimited & free'). First 1K free; on paid plans each additional connection costs $0.10 once, charged on the monthly bill. One-time per connection." Row asOf 2026-10-03 → 2026-10-24.

- Source: https://composio.dev/pricing fetched twice with curl on 2026-10-24 (tag-stripped text identical), quoted verbatim: "Connected accounts First 1K free. On paid plans, each additional connection costs $0.10 once, charged on your monthly bill." and, for own-app connections, "Unlimited & free". Nothing converted or added to any monthly or per-call amount. The page's "For AI agents: how to sign up" text was ignored. - Decided by Agent Depo under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u (review result reconfirmed).

• The two Composio plan-limit rows' notes in data/limits.json now say the stale items they listed were re-sourced (pricingNotes in 0.12.80, this qualifier in 0.12.81).
• check:data +2 offline checks (row qualifier carries the page's "$0.10 once" wording with amount and unit unchanged; the 2026-10-24 review quotes the page) and +1 HTTP check on /api/pricing?provider=composio.

0.12.80 — 2026-10-24 — Mem0, Ably, Svix and Composio pricing notes re-sourced (stale 2026-09-14 claims removed)

No score, pick, plan-limit row or catalog price row changed.

• `pricingNotes` re-sourced for mem0, ably, svix and composio (seed, data/providers.json, providers.ts, as for Temporal in 0.12.24), now "As of 2026-10-24". Each official page was fetched twice with curl on 2026-10-24 (tag-stripped text identical) and every single-quoted segment in the new notes was string-matched against that text.

- Mem0 (https://mem0.ai/pricing): the "Growth $79" plan is gone; the page lists Hobby 'Free', Starter '$19 / month', Pro '$249 / month' and Enterprise 'Custom', with add and retrieval allowances quoted ('10,000 add requests/ month', '1,000 retrieval requests/ month'; '50,000 add requests /month', '5,000 retrieval requests / month'; '500,000 add requests /month', '50,000 retrieval requests /month'). The note says no per-request overage rate is published. - Ably (https://ably.com/pricing): "Also MAU pricing from ~$0.05" removed (no MAU price on the page); messages '$2.50 / million', channel and connection minutes '$1.00 / million mins', packages Free / Standard '$29 / month + usage' / Pro '$399 / month + usage' / Enterprise 'Custom' quoted, plus '$0.25 / GiB' data transfer. - Svix (https://www.svix.com/pricing/): Free was listed at 200 msgs/s, 30d retention and a 99.9% SLA; today Free is '50 messages / second', '7-day payload retention', 'Up to 50k messages per month', and those older figures belong to Basic ('from $ 20 per month', 'Uptime SLA of 99.9%', '200 messages / second', '30-day payload retention'), which the note now lists. Overage '$0.0001 per msg' on Basic and Professional. - Composio (https://composio.dev/pricing): "ZDR +$0.0001/call +$0.0005/trigger" is now ZDR '+$0.0001 / tool call' (the page lists no per-trigger ZDR charge); "Premium tools = provider cost +5%" removed (not on the page); seats and rate limit quoted ('3 team members', '10,000 requests per minute on Pro'); Composio-managed and Instant Tools rates and the grandfathering date quoted verbatim.

• Not changed: catalog row composio-managed-connection qualifier "Billing period not stated" (the page now says "each additional connection costs $0.10 once, charged on your monthly bill"); editing it is a reviewed catalog step, left for review. The Composio page's "For AI agents: how to sign up" instructions were not followed.
• check:data +4 offline checks (each note dated 2026-10-24, carries a sourced anchor quote, and none of the stale phrases "Growth $79", "MAU pricing from", the old Svix Free limits, "+$0.0005/trigger", "Premium tools = provider cost" return) and +4 HTTP checks on /api/providers/{id}.

0.12.79 — 2026-10-24 — agent-tool-router priced on Composio tool calls in /api/estimate (trigger events a separate meter); /api/quote volumeEstimate docs name excludedCosts

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Two new plan-limit rows from a fresh official source; no new reason code.

• data/limits.json: Composio (depot pick for agent-tool-router) gains two rows "Hobby / Pro" on its own units, new meters composio_tool_calls and composio_trigger_events (own app, API key, or MCP), from https://composio.dev/pricing (fetched 2026-10-24 with curl, server-rendered HTML, a second curl fetch identical; cross-checked with WebFetch of the same URL; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the tag-stripped text): "Start for free.

• Hobby $0 / 100,000 calls / 50,000 triggers, hard-capped, no overage (no_overage_on_free_plan); Pro $29 / same allowances, then $0.0003 per call ($300 per 1,000,000) and $0.003 per trigger event ($3,000 per 1,000,000), with the $29 fee a $29 monthly usage credit applied in dollars (includedUsageCreditUsd 29, as for Vercel Pro): total = $29 + max(0, overage − $29). All exact; upper-bound rows stay 18.
• jobPrimaryMetric.agent-tool-router → composio_tool_calls (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). composio_trigger_events is costed only when passed; the two are never added or converted. Worked examples: workload=100000 → Hobby $0; 150000 → Pro $29; 200000 → Pro $30; 1000000 → Pro $270; composio_tool_calls=200000,composio_trigger_events=60000 → Pro $60. Runners-up (Browserbase, Anchor Browser, Steel) are not costed on these meters; calendar-scheduling-tools (Composio also the pick, not wired) and jobs where Composio is a runner-up cost it only on an explicit meter.

• data/limits.json: Mem0 (depot pick for hosted-agent-memory) gains three rows "Hobby / Starter / Pro" on its own units, new meters mem0_retrieval_requests and mem0_add_requests, from https://mem0.ai/pricing (fetched 2026-10-24 with curl, server-rendered HTML, a second curl fetch identical; cross-checked with WebFetch of the same URL; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the tag-stripped text, FAQ answers against the page's FAQPage JSON-LD): cards "10,000 add requests/ month 1,000 retrieval requests/ month", "$19 / month … 50,000 add requests /month 5,000 retrieval requests / month", "$249 / month … 500,000 add requests /month 50,000 retrieval requests /month"; table "Usage & limits Price Free $19/month $249/month Custom … Add requests / month 10,000 50,000 500,000 Unlimited Retrieval requests / month 1,000 5,000 50,000 Unlimited"; FAQ "Both are counted separately in your plan limits." and "Mem0 supports usage-based pricing. Contact the team to discuss a custom arrangement."
• Hobby $0, Starter $19, Pro $249; no per-request overage is published on any plan, so each plan is null above its allowance (Hobby no_overage_on_free_plan, Starter and Pro overage_rate_not_published); no hard cap claimed (the page does not say). All exact; upper-bound rows stay 18.
• jobPrimaryMetric.hosted-agent-memory → mem0_retrieval_requests (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u: the pick rationale says "watch retrieval metering" and every plan allows ten times fewer retrievals than adds). mem0_add_requests is checked separately when passed; the two are never added or converted. Worked examples: workload=1000 → Hobby $0; 5000 → Starter $19; 20000 → Pro $249; 60000 → not costed; mem0_retrieval_requests=3000,mem0_add_requests=60000 → Pro $249 (Starter fails on adds). Runners-up (Zep, Letta, Supabase, Supermemory, Memobase, Cognee) have no rows on these meters; temporal-graph-memory, stateful-agent-runtime, cross-session-user-memory and episodic-long-term-memory (Mem0 a runner-up, no primary metric) cost Mem0 only on an explicit meter.
• Not encoded: usage-based pricing (contact sales), Enterprise (Custom), projects, end users, support, graph memory, analytics, SSO, on-prem, the Open-Source option and taxes. No excludedCosts code applies.
• data/pricing-rows.json has no Mem0 rows, so nothing to compare or re-price (no --catalog step). providers.json pricingNotes (as of 2026-09-14) list a "Growth $79" plan that is not on today's page; noted, not changed.

0.12.77 — 2026-10-24 — realtime-agent-channel priced on Ably messages in /api/estimate (Standard and Pro upper bounds)

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Three new plan-limit rows from a fresh official source; no new reason code.

• data/limits.json: Ably (depot pick for realtime-agent-channel) gains three rows "Free / Standard / Pro" on its own unit, new meter ably_messages, from https://ably.com/pricing (fetched 2026-10-24 with curl, server-rendered HTML, a second curl fetch identical; cross-checked with WebFetch of the same URL; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the tag-stripped text): rate card "Messages $2.50 / million As low as $0.50/M with volume discount"; package cards "$0 Start for free Capacity 200 concurrent connections 500 messages / second 6M messages / month", "$29 / month + usage", "$399 / month + usage"; table "Package price Free Free Standard $29 / month Pro $399 / month Enterprise Custom Messages Free Free Standard $2.50 / million Pro $2.50 / million Enterprise $2.50 / million"; FAQ "Everything sent or received through Ably is counted as a message — whether signalling, notifications, or chat data." Plus Ably's linked pricing docs (https://ably.com/docs/platform/pricing, /docs/platform/pricing/free): "Depending on volume, rates can go as low as $0.50 per million messages." and "you are charged for the first message you send after upgrading, not after the 6,000,000 messages allowed on the Free package."
• Free $0 / 6,000,000, no overage (no_overage_on_free_plan; no hard cap claimed, since neither source says usage stops). Standard $29 and Pro $399, 0 included then $2.50 per 1,000,000 messages; both upper bounds under the existing code tiered_overage_thresholds_not_published (the $0.50/M floor has no published thresholds and is never applied). Upper-bound rows 16 → 18.
• jobPrimaryMetric.realtime-agent-channel → ably_messages (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Worked examples: workload=6000000 → Free $0; 10000000 → Standard $54 (Pro $424); 100000000 → Standard $279. Runners-up (Stream, Cloudflare Workers, Supabase) have no rows on it; notification-orchestration (Ably a runner-up, no primary metric) costs Ably only on an explicit ably_messages=N.
• Not encoded: connection minutes and channel minutes ($1.00 / million mins each), additional data transfer ($0.25 / GiB), concurrency/rate/size limits, support, Enterprise and taxes, so a real Ably bill is higher than the messages figure. No excludedCosts code applies (the closed list has none for these). Depot never converts connections, channels, minutes, tokens, chats or bandwidth into messages.
• Catalog rows ably-messages $2.50/M, ably-standard $29 and ably-pro $399 (asOf 2026-10-03) match today's page, so no --catalog step and no re-price. providers.json pricingNotes (as of 2026-09-14) mention "MAU pricing from ~$0.05", which is not on today's page; noted, not changed.

0.12.76 — 2026-10-23 — outbound-webhooks priced on Svix messages in /api/estimate

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Three new plan-limit rows from a fresh official source; no new reason code.

• data/limits.json: Svix (depot pick for outbound-webhooks) gains three rows "Free / Basic / Professional" on its own unit, new meter svix_messages, from https://www.svix.com/pricing/ (fetched 2026-10-23 with curl, server-rendered HTML, a second curl fetch identical; cross-checked with WebFetch of the same URL; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the tag-stripped text): plan cards "from $ 0 per month … Up to 50k messages per month", "from $ 20 per month … 50k free messages a month", "from $ 490 per month … 50k free messages a month"; billing table "Price $ 0 / month Starting from $ 20 / month Starting from $ 490 / month Custom", "Included messages / month … Each 64 KiB chunk of payload is billed as one message. 50,000 50,000 50,000 Custom", "Additional messages (on-demand) … — $0.0001 per msg $0.0001 per msg Custom"; FAQ "When the trial ends, billing starts at $490 per month plus any usage beyond the 50,000 included messages."
• Free $0 / 50,000, no overage (no_overage_on_free_plan, hard cap). Basic $20 and Professional $490, each 50,000 included then $0.0001 per message (encoded as $100 per 1,000,000). All three exact at list price; "Chat with us to unlock volume discounts" (Professional, Enterprise) is not applied, as for LangSmith. Upper-bound rows stay 16.
• jobPrimaryMetric.outbound-webhooks → svix_messages (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Worked examples: workload=50000 → Free $0; 100000 → Basic $25; 1000000 → Basic $115; 10000000 → Basic $1,015. Runners-up (Hookdeck, Inngest, Upstash QStash, AWS EventBridge) have no rows on it; notification-orchestration and inbound-webhook-gateway (Svix a runner-up, no primary metric) cost Svix only on an explicit svix_messages=N.
• Not encoded: Enterprise, negotiated volume discounts, annual contracts, startup plans, the Professional trial, connectors, retention, API rate limits, SLAs, support and taxes. No excludedCosts code applies.
• Catalog rows svix-free $0, svix-basic $20, svix-professional $490 and svix-additional-message $0.0001 (asOf 2026-10-03) match today's page, so no --catalog step and no re-price. providers.json pricingNotes (as of 2026-09-14) list Free at 200 msgs/s, 30-day retention and a 99.9% SLA, which today's page gives to Basic; noted, not changed.

0.12.75 — 2026-10-23 — event-driven-agent-jobs priced on Inngest executions in /api/estimate (Pro an upper bound)

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Three new plan-limit rows from a fresh official source and one new upper-bound reason code.

• data/limits.json: Inngest (depot pick for event-driven-agent-jobs) gains three rows "Free / Pro / Business" on its own unit, new meter inngest_executions, from https://www.inngest.com/pricing (fetched 2026-10-23 with curl, server-rendered HTML; cross-checked with WebFetch of the same URL; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the tag-stripped text): plan cards "$ 0 / mo … 50k executions", "Starting at $ 99 / mo … 1M executions + add-on", "Starting at $ 499 / mo … 10M executions + add-on"; table "Base price $0 $99 /mo $499 /mo Contact us" and "Executions A single durable function run or step execution 50k /mo included 1M executions + add-on 10M executions + add-on Custom"; FAQ "A function with 5 step.run() calls uses 6 executions total — 1 for the run, 5 for the steps.", "On Pro, overage is metered at tiered rates that decrease as volume grows (from $0.000050 down to $0.000015 per execution, based on current published rates). On Free, there's no metered overage — execution pauses once you hit the free quota …".
• Free $0 / 50,000 included, no overage (no_overage_on_free_plan, hard cap). Pro $99 / 1,000,000 included, then $0.000050 per execution (encoded as $50 per 1,000,000). Business $499 / 10,000,000 included, overage null (overage_rate_not_published; the page gives an execution overage rate for Pro only, and it is not borrowed).
• Pro is an upper bound under a new reason code tiered_overage_thresholds_not_published ("The source publishes the highest and lowest per-unit rates of a tiered overage schedule but not the volume thresholds between them; every overage unit is costed at the highest published rate, so higher volumes cost less."), row text verbatim from its notes; upper-bound rows 15 → 16. Free and Business are exact.
• jobPrimaryMetric.event-driven-agent-jobs → inngest_executions (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Worked examples: workload=50000 → Free $0; 2000000 → Pro $149; 5000000 → Pro $299; 10000000 → Business $499; 20000000 → Pro $1,049. Runners-up (Trigger.dev, Upstash QStash, Temporal Cloud, Hatchet, Restate, DBOS) have no rows on it; durable-agent-workflows keeps temporal_actions and costs Inngest only on an explicit inngest_executions=N. Never blended with temporal_actions.
• Not encoded: events, queue depth, concurrency, seats, workers, realtime connections, span data, scores, the observability and HIPAA add-ons, sandboxes and compute, Enterprise, self-hosting and taxes (the page bills each dimension independently). No excludedCosts code applies (none of the closed list's costs is stated as billed elsewhere).
• Catalog rows inngest-free $0, inngest-pro $99 and inngest-business $499 (asOf 2026-10-03) match today's page, so no --catalog step and no re-price.

0.12.74 — 2026-10-23 — estimates say which costs they leave out (excludedCosts)

No score, pick, price or catalog row changed. No new prices; one new structured field, filled only where a row's own notes already state the exclusion.

• data/limits.json: new top-level excludedCostCodes, a closed list of three codes with definitions: llm_usage_billed_separately, telephony_provider_billed_separately, sender_number_billed_separately. Rows may carry excludedCosts: [{code, text}], with text copied verbatim from that row's notes (no numbers, never a price). Nine rows filled: the six ElevenAgents rows (LLM usage "billed separately on top, based on the model you choose"; an external telephony provider, "that provider bills you directly"), both Portkey rows (gateway; "model tokens are billed by the model provider"), and Twilio WhatsApp (the leased sender number "is billed on its own and is not costed here").
• Distinct from estimateIsUpperBound: an upper bound means the arithmetic may over-cost the row; an excluded cost means the figure under-costs the full stack. The two are independent (Twilio WhatsApp is both). Twilio SMS and voice rows have none (their leased number is in the base fee).
• /api/estimate: every plan, cheapestPlan and cheapest carry excludedCosts ([] when none). Example: voice-agents workload=2000 → ElevenAgents Pro $159.96, upperBound false, excludedCosts codes [llm_usage_billed_separately, telephony_provider_billed_separately].
• /api/stack/cost: every item and GET plan carries excludedCosts; POST totals.<currency> and the response add excludedCostCodes (distinct, sorted, costed items only), and the note names each code with its definition when any is present. Netlify-only note unchanged.
• validate-data: codes must come from excludedCostCodes, text must be present, digit-free and verbatim from the row's notes or quote, no duplicate codes per row.
• Not filled (candidates, exclusions stated only as optional products, not as costs the job needs): Railway (Railway Agent LLM tokens passed through at cost), Cartesia (Managed Agents telephony), Portkey's self-hosted gateway infrastructure.
• OpenAPI (/api/estimate, /api/stack/cost), agents.md, llms-full.txt, depot-hub SKILL.md; check:limits +14 offline, +4 HTTP.

0.12.73 — 2026-10-23 — voice-agents priced on ElevenAgents call minutes in /api/estimate (exact, platform minutes only)

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Six new plan-limit rows from a fresh official source and one new recorded page conflict.

• data/limits.json: ElevenLabs (depot pick for voice-agents) gains six rows "ElevenAgents Free / Starter / Creator / Pro / Scale / Business" on its own unit, new meter elevenlabs_agents_call_minutes, from https://elevenlabs.io/pricing/agents (fetched 2026-10-23 with curl, server-rendered HTML; cross-checked with WebFetch of the same URL; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the tag-stripped text): plan cards "Free $0 per month … 15 minutes of calls included" … "Business $990 per month … 12,375 minutes of calls included"; table "Included Call (per minute) Additional Call (per minute) … 15 min $0.080 … 12,375 min $0.080"; FAQ "Additional call minutes cost $0.08 per minute … LLM usage is billed separately on top, based on the model you choose."
• Base and included minutes as listed: Free $0 / 15, Starter $6 / 75, Creator $22 / 275, Pro $99 / 1,238, Scale $299 / 3,738, Business $990 / 12,375; then $0.08 per additional call minute on Creator and up. First-month promotions (Starter $1 until Nov 1, Creator $11) are not encoded.
• Page conflict recorded in conflicts: the plan cards list "Additional Minutes" only from Creator up, while the table shows $0.080 per additional minute in every column, including "Free / Pay as you go" and Starter. Free and Starter are therefore not costed above their included minutes (overageReason additional_minutes_listed_from_creator_plan_page_conflict).
• Exact for this meter (estimateIsUpperBound false; same $0.080 everywhere, no volume tiers). It prices ElevenLabs platform minutes only. LLM usage (billed separately on top) and an external telephony provider (billed by that provider) are not costed, so a real voice agent costs more; the notes and metric say so. Burst minutes ($0.16), text messages ($0.003), yearly billing, Enterprise and taxes are not encoded.
• jobPrimaryMetric.voice-agents → elevenlabs_agents_call_minutes (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Worked examples: workload=10 → Free $0; 100 → Creator $22; 1000 → Creator $80; 2000 → Pro $159.96. Runners-up (Twilio, OpenAI, Retell, Bland) have no rows on it. The v4-characters metric note was updated; voice-agent-platform (Vapi) stays without a primary metric.
• No ElevenAgents catalog row exists in data/pricing-rows.json (only TTS, Scribe and Speech Engine rows), so no --catalog step.
• OpenAPI (/api/estimate); check:limits +6 offline, +1 HTTP; v0.12.68–72 assertions that voice-agents was unwired were updated.

0.12.72 — 2026-10-23 — whatsapp priced on Twilio US WhatsApp utility template messages in /api/estimate (upper bound)

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. One new plan-limit row from a fresh official source (verified on the Meta rate card it links to), and one new upper-bound reason code.

• data/limits.json: Twilio (depot pick for whatsapp) gains a third row "Pay as you go, US WhatsApp utility templates (outside service window)" on its own unit, new meter twilio_us_whatsapp_utility_template_messages, from https://www.twilio.com/en-us/whatsapp/pricing (fetched 2026-10-23 with curl, server-rendered HTML, "Pricing current as of September 2026"; cross-checked with WebFetch; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the tag-stripped text): "Twilio’s per-message fee for WhatsApp is $0.005, inbound or outbound*.", US calculator line "$0.0034 / message Meta fee outside the customer service window, no charge for messages during the customer service window , volume discounts may apply". Base $0, nothing included, $0.0084 per message ($0.005 + $0.0034).
• The $0.0034 is calculator output (United States selected by default, data-utility-rates="[0.003400,80000,true]"), so it was verified on the page's linked source for Meta fees: Meta's pricing page (US mapped to "North America") and its USD rate card effective October 1, 2026 ("North America USD 0.0250 0.0034 0.0034 n/a 0.0034"; utility volume tiers 0–80,000 list 0.0034, then 0.0032 … 0.0026 above 6,000,000).
• New upper-bound reason code published_volume_tier_rates_not_applied ("The source publishes lower per-unit rates that apply above monthly volume thresholds, but the estimate does not apply them; every unit is costed at the list rate, so volumes above the first threshold cost less."). Text copied verbatim from the row's notes; upper-bound rows 14 → 15.
• Meter scope: utility templates only, US recipients, outside an open service window (in-window utility templates carry no Meta fee and are not this meter). Not encoded, never blended: authentication, marketing (the US calculator option marks it unavailable, data-marketing-rates="[0,0,false]"; rate card lists 0.0250) and service messages, inbound, other countries, authentication-international, failed-message fee, Messaging Engagement Suite, WhatsApp calling, Meta Business Agent tokens, a leased sender number, free trial, taxes.
• jobPrimaryMetric.whatsapp → twilio_us_whatsapp_utility_template_messages (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Worked examples: workload=1000 → $8.40; 10000 → $84; 100000 → $840 (list rate). SMS and voice metric notes updated; voice-agents and voice-agent-platform stay without a primary metric. Runners-up (Courier, Bird, Telnyx, Plivo) have no rows on it.

0.12.71 — 2026-10-23 — voice and agent-pstn-telephony priced on Twilio US outbound voice minutes in /api/estimate (upper bound)

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. One new plan-limit row from a fresh official source, and one new upper-bound reason code.

• data/limits.json: Twilio (depot pick for voice and agent-pstn-telephony) gains a second row "Pay as you go, US outbound voice (1 local number)" on its own unit, new meter twilio_us_outbound_voice_minutes, from https://www.twilio.com/en-us/voice/pricing/us (fetched 2026-10-23 with curl, server-rendered HTML, "Pricing current as of August 2026", plus the page's linked OutboundVoicePricing.csv; cross-checked with WebFetch; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the tag-stripped text): "Local calls $0.0140 / min $0.0085 / min" (make / receive), Make Calls "United States & Canada $0.0140 / min … United States - Alaska $0.0945 / min United States - Hawaii $0.0140 / min", "Local numbers $1.15 / mo". Base $1.15, nothing included, $0.0140 per outbound minute.
• No per-carrier pass-through fees are listed for voice ("No, there are no hidden fees with Twilio."), so the SMS highest-carrier-fee pattern does not apply. New upper-bound reason code automatic_volume_discount_rates_not_published ("The source says volume discounts apply automatically above usage thresholds but publishes neither the discounted rates nor the exact thresholds; every unit is costed at the standard rate, so high volumes can cost less."), because the FAQ says "You automatically unlock volume discounts when you hit a threshold of monthly voice minutes" with only a "For example" schedule and no lower rates. Text copied verbatim from the row's notes; upper-bound rows 13 → 14.
• Meter scope: minutes billed at the "United States & Canada" rate only; Alaska (+1 907, $0.0945/min) and, per the linked CSV, Canada - Yukon Territory (+1 867, $0.15250/min) are excluded, not averaged in. Local number because outbound minutes cost the same from toll-free and the lease is cheaper. Editorial calls under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u.
• jobPrimaryMetric.voice and jobPrimaryMetric["agent-pstn-telephony"] → twilio_us_outbound_voice_minutes (same delegation). Worked examples: workload=1000 → $15.15; 10000 → $141.15; 100000 → $1,401.15. whatsapp, voice-agents and voice-agent-platform stay without a primary metric. The SMS metric note was updated to say voice and agent-pstn-telephony now use this meter.

0.12.70 — 2026-10-23 — sms priced on Twilio toll-free outbound segments in /api/estimate (upper bound)

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. One new plan-limit row from a fresh official source, and one new upper-bound reason code.

• data/limits.json: Twilio (depot pick for sms) gains one row "Pay as you go, US toll-free (1 leased number)" on its own unit, new meter twilio_us_tollfree_sms_outbound_segments, from https://www.twilio.com/en-us/sms/pricing/us (fetched 2026-10-23 with curl, server-rendered HTML, "Pricing current as of October 2026"; cross-checked with WebFetch; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the tag-stripped text): toll-free row "$0.0083 $0.0083 $0.022 $0.02" (SMS outbound/inbound, MMS outbound/inbound), toll-free carrier fees (AT&T $0.0035, T-Mobile $0.0045, Verizon $0.005, US Cellular $0.0045, all other carriers $0.0042), toll-free number "$2.15" per month leased, "* Text messages are charged per segment.", FAQ "$0.0083 per 160-character segment". Base $2.15, nothing included, $0.0133 per segment = $0.0083 + the highest published toll-free outbound carrier fee $0.005 (arithmetic in notes).
• New upper-bound reason code highest_published_carrier_fee_costed ("The source publishes a different pass-through fee per destination carrier; every unit is costed at the highest published fee, so a real mix of carriers costs less."). The Twilio row is estimateIsUpperBound: true with that code and text copied verbatim from its notes. This resolves the earlier "Twilio needs a lower-bound concept" blocker without one: costing every segment at the highest published carrier fee makes the figure a ceiling on the fees the page lists.
• Toll-free, not long code: long codes use A2P 10DLC, which the page says is "subject to carrier registration onboarding fees" not priced on the page, so a long-code row could not be an upper bound. Editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u.
• jobPrimaryMetric.sms → twilio_us_tollfree_sms_outbound_segments (same delegation). Worked examples: workload=1000 → $15.45; 10000 → $135.15; 100000 → $1,332.15. notification-orchestration (Twilio a runner-up) costs Twilio only on an explicit meter; whatsapp, voice, agent-pstn-telephony and voice-agents stay without a primary metric.
• Not encoded: inbound SMS, MMS, RCS, short codes / FTEU, long codes and 10DLC fees, bring-your-own-number, failed-message fee ($0.001 per failed message), add-ons (Engagement Suite, Compliance Toolkit, Traffic Optimization Engine), volume and committed-use discounts (negotiated, none published), non-US destinations, taxes. sms runners-up (Courier, Bird, OneSignal, Telnyx, Plivo) have no rows on it; never blended with any other unit.

New meter cartesia_credits; Free has no overage (hard cap), paid rows are exact, not upper bounds. Before, Cartesia returned no_sourced_plan_limits and the job had no primary metric.
• jobPrimaryMetric adds realtime-tts → cartesia_credits (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Worked examples: workload=20000 → Free $0; 100000 → Pro $5; 1000000 → Startup $49 (Pro would be $63.50); 10000000 → Scale $375 (Startup $442.75, Pro $648.50). Credits are one pool for TTS and STT ("1 credit equals 1 character", "3 credits equals 1 second of audio"); Depot never converts characters or seconds into credits.
• Not encoded: prepaid voice-agent dollars and Managed Agents ($0.06 per minute, $0.014 per minute telephony), rollover credits (up to 2x the monthly rate; a month after an under-used one can cost less), voice-accent localizing credits, Enterprise, taxes. Runners-up in realtime-tts (ElevenLabs, Deepgram, Hume, Rime) are not costed on it; in speech-synthesis, production-stt and voice-agent-platform Cartesia is costed only on an explicit cartesia_credits=N; no blending.
• No Cartesia catalog row exists, so the catalog is not changed (no --catalog history run); providers.json pricing notes (as of 2026-09-14) agree. OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the wiring; check:limits adds seven offline and one HTTP check (and updates the v0.12.68 assertion that realtime-tts had no primary metric).

0.12.68 — 2026-10-23 — speech-synthesis priced on ElevenLabs v4 TTS characters in /api/estimate

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. One new plan-limit row from a fresh official source.

• data/limits.json: ElevenLabs (depot pick for speech-synthesis) gains one row, "Free / Pay as you go", on its own unit from https://elevenlabs.io/pricing/api (ElevenAPI tab, monthly billing; fetched 2026-10-23 with curl, server-rendered HTML, cross-checked with WebFetch; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the fetched text): "v4 Text to Speech New $0.08 Price per 1K characters", Model pricing "v4 Price per 1K characters Characters included $0.08 ~$0.08/minute 10,000 ~10 min" in the "Free / Pay as you go" column, FAQ "API usage is billed in US dollars, not credits.

New meter elevenlabs_tts_v4_characters (10,000 included, then $0.08 per 1,000), $0 base, exact, not an upper bound. Before, ElevenLabs returned no_sourced_plan_limits and the job had no primary metric.
• jobPrimaryMetric adds speech-synthesis → elevenlabs_tts_v4_characters (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Worked examples: workload=10000 → $0; 100000 → $7.20; 1000000 → $79.20. voice-agents (ElevenLabs also the pick, per agent minute) is not wired; realtime-tts (Cartesia the pick, ElevenLabs a runner-up) costs ElevenLabs only on an explicit elevenlabs_tts_v4_characters=N.
• Not encoded (documented in the metric note and row notes): Starter–Business subscriptions ($6–$990 per month with their own included characters, first-month discounts, yearly billing), other TTS models (v4 Turbo, v3 Conversational, Flash / Turbo at $0.04; v3 and v2 Multilingual at $0.08 but separate models), the page's "~$/minute" approximations, every non-TTS product, Startup Grants, Enterprise, taxes. The free allowance is listed per model and API usage is billed in dollars, so mixing models in one month can make the bill higher than this one-meter estimate (stated in the row notes). Runners-up (Cartesia, OpenAI media, Hume, MiniMax, Rime) are not costed on it; no blending.
• Candidates passed over: Qdrant (https://qdrant.tech/pricing/ fetched 2026-10-23 publishes no per-unit price; "Qdrant Cloud pricing is based on resource usage" with hourly vCPU/memory/storage billing and a pricing calculator only), Twilio (pass-through carrier fees, no lower-bound flag), Stripe (percentage plus fixed fee, would blend units).
• Catalog elevenlabs-tts-v4 (asOf 2026-10-19, $0.08 per 1K characters) agrees; catalog not changed, so no --catalog history run. OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the wiring; check:limits adds seven offline and one HTTP check.

0.12.67 — 2026-10-23 — speech-to-text priced on Deepgram pre-recorded minutes in /api/estimate

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. One new plan-limit row from a fresh official source.

• data/limits.json: Deepgram (depot pick for speech-to-text) gains one row, "Pay As You Go", on its own unit from https://deepgram.com/pricing (Pre-Recorded tab; fetched 2026-10-23 with curl, HTML incl. the page's FAQ structured data, cross-checked with WebFetch; quoted verbatim, every quote segment string-matched against the fetched text): "Pre-Recorded pricing Model Pay As You Go Growth Nova-3 Monolingual … $0.0043/min $0.0036/min", "Pay-As-You-Go requires no upfront commitment and bills monthly based on usage.", per-second billing ("If your audio file is 14 seconds long, you pay for exactly 14 seconds."). New meter deepgram_nova3_mono_prerecorded_minutes ($0.0043 per minute, nothing included), $0 base, exact, not an upper bound. Before, Deepgram returned no_sourced_plan_limits and the job had no primary metric.
• jobPrimaryMetric adds speech-to-text → deepgram_nova3_mono_prerecorded_minutes (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Worked examples: workload=1000 → $4.30; 10000 → $43; 100000 → $430. production-stt (streaming and pre-recorded, Deepgram also the pick) is not wired; pass deepgram_nova3_mono_prerecorded_minutes=N explicitly.
• Not encoded (documented in the metric note and row notes): the one-time $200 new-account credit ("this credit is available until you use it up"; not a monthly allowance), streaming ("Limited-time promotional rates on streaming."), Nova-3 Multilingual and Whisper Large pre-recorded, add-ons, Growth (annual commitment, "$4K+ / year"), Enterprise volume discounts, concurrency, taxes. Runners-up (AssemblyAI, OpenAI media, Groq, Speechmatics, Gladia) are not costed on it; no blending.
• Candidates passed over: Twilio US SMS ($0.0083 per segment is Twilio's fee only; per-carrier pass-through fees vary by destination carrier, so a single-meter estimate would understate the bill and the schema has no lower-bound flag), Stripe (percentage plus fixed fee per charge, would blend units), Qdrant (not evaluated this run).
• Catalog deepgram-nova-3-mono-prerecorded (asOf 2026-10-19, $0.0043 per minute) agrees; catalog not changed, so no --catalog history run. OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the wiring; check:limits adds seven offline and one HTTP check.

0.12.66 — 2026-10-23 — /api/stack/cost totals say why they are upper bounds (upperBoundReasonCodes)

No score, pick, limits row or catalog price changed. Costing math unchanged.

• /api/stack/cost POST (src/lib/stackCost.ts): each totals.<currency> adds upperBoundReasonCodes, the distinct, sorted upperBoundReason.code values of the costed upper-bound items in that currency ([] when none; a null/uncosted item never contributes, exactly as for upperBoundItems). The response adds upperBoundReasonCodes (distinct across all costed items). When upperBoundItems is above 0 the note adds one sentence naming each code with its definition copied from data/limits.json upperBoundReasonCodes (no new vendor text). GET lists plans only (no totals), so it is unchanged. All legacy fields kept.
• Examples: Serper Standard (400,000 credits) + Netlify Pro → totals.USD.upperBoundReasonCodes ["prepaid_pack_credits_carry_over"] (known $395 unchanged); adding Exa Pay as you go (100,000 requests) → ["free_monthly_allowance_on_payg_not_stated", "prepaid_pack_credits_carry_over"]; Netlify Pro alone → [], note unchanged.

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. One new plan-limit row from a fresh official source.

Brave sells prepaid credits, no subscription: Search "$5 per 1,000 requests", "Includes $5 in free credits every month Credits are automatically applied to your account". New meter brave_search_requests ($5 per 1,000, nothing included per request); the free $5 is applied as a monthly dollar credit (includedUsageCreditUsd: 5, usage above it billed), so the estimate is exact, not an upper bound. Before, Brave Search returned no_sourced_plan_limits and the job had no primary metric.
• jobPrimaryMetric adds privacy-search → brave_search_requests (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Worked examples: workload=1000 → Search $0 ($5 ≤ $5 credit); 10000 → $45 ($50 − $5); 100000 → $495. enterprise-search (Brave also the pick, other candidates are site-search engines) is not wired; pass brave_search_requests=N explicitly.
• Not encoded (documented in the metric note and row notes): Answers ($4 per 1,000 queries plus tokens), Spellcheck and Autosuggest ($5 per 10,000 requests), Place search, storage rights, rate limits, Enterprise, taxes, top-up purchase sizes (none published). Exa and Tavily (runners-up) are not costed on Brave requests; the bare alias credits still means LlamaParse credits; no blending.
• Catalog brave-search-api-search (asOf 2026-10-19, $5 per 1k searches) agrees; catalog not changed, so no --catalog history run. OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the wiring; check:limits adds seven offline and one HTTP check, and its included-credit quote check also accepts "free $N in credits every month".

0.12.64 — 2026-10-23 — upper-bound limits rows say why (upperBoundReason)

No score, pick, limits price or catalog price changed. Costing math unchanged.

• data/limits.json: each of the 12 rows with estimateIsUpperBound: true gains upperBoundReason: {code, text}, with text copied verbatim from that row's own notes (nothing new written about the vendor). Codes are listed with definitions in the new top-level upperBoundReasonCodes: overage_rate_not_published_next_tier_costed (SendGrid Essentials 100k + Pro 100k/300k/700k/1.5M/2.5M), free_monthly_allowance_on_payg_not_stated (Tavily and Exa Pay as you go), prepaid_pack_credits_carry_over (Serper Starter/Standard/Scale/Ultimate), and reason_not_stated (text null, for a flagged row whose notes do not say why; no row uses it today). Before, the reason lived only in free-text notes.
• validate-data: upperBoundReason is required when estimateIsUpperBound is true (exactly code and text, code from upperBoundReasonCodes, text a verbatim substring of the row's notes or quote, or null with reason_not_stated), and must be null/absent otherwise.
• /api/estimate (every plan, cheapestPlan, cheapest) and /api/stack/cost (POST items and GET plans) pass upperBoundReason through next to upperBound: null when upperBound is false. Example: serp-scrape 400000 → Serper Standard $375, upperBoundReason.code prepaid_pack_credits_carry_over.
• OpenAPI /api/estimate and /api/stack/cost descriptions; check:limits +13 offline, +3 HTTP.

0.12.63 — 2026-10-23 — /api/stack/cost flags upper-bound items and totals

No score, pick, limits row or catalog price changed. Costing math unchanged.

• /api/stack/cost (src/lib/stackCost.ts, route): every costed item and every plan in GET now carries upperBound (boolean), taken from the limits row's estimateIsUpperBound exactly as /api/estimate does (upperBound: p.estimateIsUpperBound === true). Before, /api/estimate said Serper Standard 400k ($375) was an upper bound while /api/stack/cost priced the same row with no sign of it. Today 12 limits rows are upper bounds (SendGrid Essentials 100k and Pro tiers, Tavily Pay as you go, Exa Pay as you go, the four Serper packs); every data/stack-plans.json row is false.
• Totals: each totals.<currency> adds includesUpperBound and upperBoundItems (counting only costed items; a null item does not flag the known total). The response adds upperBoundItems, and when it is above 0 the note adds that those totals are "an upper bound, not an exact list price". Example: Serper Standard (400,000 credits) + Netlify Pro → known $395 (unchanged), includesUpperBound: true, upperBoundItems: 1; Netlify Pro alone → false, note unchanged. All legacy fields kept.
• OpenAPI /api/stack/cost description; check:limits +6 offline, +3 HTTP.

0.12.62 — 2026-10-23 — /api/stack/cost marks prepaid one-time packs; neural-search priced on Exa search requests

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. No new plan-limit rows.

• /api/stack/cost (src/lib/stackCost.ts, route): every costed item and every plan in GET now carries billing and baseKind: monthly_recurring (billing monthly) or prepaid_pack_one_time (billing prepaid_pack, Serper since v0.12.61). Before, GET listed a Serper pack price under basePerMonth with nothing saying it is one-time. The legacy fields stay for backward compatibility (basePerMonth in GET, monthly in POST), but for prepaid packs they hold the one-time price of buying that one pack this month, so those items add prepaidPackPrice and baseNote ("One-time prepaid pack, not a subscription …"). Unknown billing would give baseKind: null; none exists today.
• Totals: each totals.<currency> adds oneTimePrepaidPacks and recurringMonthly, which sum to known (unchanged). The response adds prepaidPackItems, and when it is above 0 the note says those items are counted as a one-time purchase this month, "not as a recurring monthly subscription". Example: Serper Standard (400,000 credits) + Netlify Pro → known $395 = one-time $375 + recurring $20. Costing is unchanged.
• jobPrimaryMetric adds neural-search → exa_search_requests (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Exa is the depot pick there too, and the docs' own type: "auto" example response bills one search as "costDollars": { "total": 0.007, "search": { "neural": 0.007 } } (https://exa.ai/docs/search/quickstart.md, fetched 2026-10-23), so a default search is billed as neural search at the $7 / 1k rate already on file. Before, neural-search had a priced pick but no primary metric. Worked examples: workload=1000 → Free Tier $0; 100000 → Pay as you go $700 (upper bound). Tavily (runner-up) is not costed on Exa requests; other candidates have no sourced plan limits. The page's agent-directed instructions were ignored.
• OpenAPI /api/stack/cost and /api/estimate descriptions; check:limits +8 offline, +3 HTTP.

0.12.61 — 2026-10-23 — serp-scrape priced on Serper credits in /api/estimate

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Four new plan-limit rows from a fresh official source.

• data/limits.json: Serper (depot pick for serp-scrape) gains four rows on its own unit from https://serper.dev/ (pricing section; https://serper.dev/pricing and /docs return 404; fetched 2026-10-23 with curl, cross-checked with WebFetch; quoted verbatim). Serper is a "top-up model. No monthly subscriptions; simply pay for the credits you need": Starter "$ 50 * 50k credits ($1.00/1k)", Standard "$ 375 * 500k credits ($0.75/1k)", Scale "$ 1250 * 2.5M credits ($0.50/1k)", Ultimate "$ 3750 * 12.5M credits ($0.30/1k)", each "Credits valid for 6 months", "* Excluding sales tax/VAT/GST". New meter serper_credits (the page pairs credits with queries one to one, e.g. "Submit 50,000 queries").
• Prepaid packs modelled honestly: billing is prepaid_pack (not monthly, so no monthly or cancellable-monthly term is derived from these rows), each row is costed as buying that one pack in the month, and every row is flagged upperBound (unused credits stay usable for up to 6 months). Above a pack's credits the row is null with prepaid_pack_used_up_queries_stop_buy_another_pack ("When your credit balance reaches zero, we will stop accepting new queries."); buying several packs is not stated and not costed.
• jobPrimaryMetric adds serp-scrape → serper_credits (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Before, Serper returned no_sourced_plan_limits and the job had no primary metric. Worked examples: workload=50000 → Starter $50; 400000 → Standard $375; 1000000 → Scale $1,250; 12500001 → none.
• Not encoded (documented in the metric note and row notes): the free 2,500 queries (one-time vs recurring not stated), the 7-day refund, per-second rate limits, per-endpoint credit costs (not on the page), taxes. Catalog row serper-starter-1k (asOf 2026-10-19, $1.00 per 1k) agrees; not changed. Never blended: the bare alias credits still means LlamaParse; Serper (agent-search runner-up) is not costed on exa_search_requests.
• Engine (src/lib/limits.ts, src/lib/stackCost.ts): for billing: prepaid_pack rows the arithmetic's first step reads "prepaid pack $N bought this month (one-time, not a subscription)" instead of "base $N/mo". Costing itself is unchanged.
• OpenAPI /api/estimate description; check:limits +8 offline, +1 HTTP.

0.12.60 — 2026-10-23 — agent-search priced on Exa search requests in /api/estimate

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Two new plan-limit rows from a fresh official source.

• data/limits.json: Exa (depot pick for agent-search) gains two rows on its own per-request units from https://exa.ai/docs/admin/pricing (reached from https://docs.exa.ai/reference/pricing; fetched 2026-10-23 with curl, HTML and .md, cross-checked with WebFetch and with https://exa.ai/pricing, whose endpoint table carries the same figures; quoted verbatim). Exa is pay-as-you-go with no subscription: /search auto (default type) and legacy fast "$7 / 1k requests", lite "$4 / 1k requests", each with up to 10 results. New meters exa_search_requests (auto) and exa_lite_search_requests (lite), kept separate. Free Tier: $0, "$10 in credits (up to 2,500 Lite searches) … your free balance resets to $10 on the first of every month. No payment method required", applied as a $10 dollar credit (includedUsageCreditUsd), not costed above $10. Pay as you go: $0 base, flagged upperBound because the pages don't say in so many words that a paying account's $10 free balance is drawn first.
• jobPrimaryMetric adds agent-search → exa_search_requests (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u: auto is Exa's documented default type). Before, Exa returned no_sourced_plan_limits and the job had no primary metric. Worked examples: workload=1000 → Free Tier $0 ($7 ≤ $10 credit); 100000 → Pay as you go $700 (upper bound); exa_lite_search_requests=2500 → Free Tier $0 (matches "up to 2,500 Lite searches").
• Not encoded (documented in the metric note): results above 10 ($1 / 1k results), AI page summaries, /contents, Deep Search ($12–15 / 1k), /answer, /monitors, Agent runs and Exa Connect; the one-time $10 onboarding bonus. Tavily (runner-up) is not costed on Exa requests; the bare alias credits still means LlamaParse credits; no blending.
• Catalog exa-* rows (asOf 2026-10-03) agree on $4 (instant, now legacy) and $7 (fast/auto); the new lite type has no catalog row; catalog not changed. OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the wiring; check:limits adds eight offline and one HTTP check, and its included-credit quote check also accepts "free balance resets to $N".

0.12.59 — 2026-10-23 — search-augmented-llm priced on Tavily credits in /api/estimate

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Six new plan-limit rows from a fresh official source.

• data/limits.json: Tavily (depot pick for search-augmented-llm) gains six rows on its own unit tavily_credits from https://docs.tavily.com/documentation/api-credits (fetched 2026-10-23 with curl, HTML and .md, cross-checked with WebFetch and with https://www.tavily.com/pricing, whose slider data carries the same plans; quoted verbatim), at the published monthly prices: Researcher $0 / 1,000 credits (hard cap: "requests will stop until your credits reset or you upgrade to a paid plan"), Project $30 / 4,000, Bootstrap $100 / 15,000, Startup $220 / 38,000, Growth $500 / 100,000. Above the included credits, the published pay-as-you-go rate $0.008 per credit ("allows you to be charged per credit once your plan's credit limit is reached"). A standalone Pay as you go row ($0 base, $0.008 per credit) is flagged upperBound because the pages do not say whether the free 1,000 also apply. No annual prices are published; none used.
• jobPrimaryMetric adds search-augmented-llm → tavily_credits (editorial call under Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET t55u). Before, Tavily returned no_sourced_plan_limits and the job had no primary metric. Worked examples: workload=38000 → Startup $220; 10000 → Project $78 ($30 + 6,000 × $0.008); 50000 → Startup $316.
• Credits are not requests: the metric note quotes the per-request rates (basic search 1, advanced 2; extract 1 or 2 per 5 successful URLs; map 1 or 2 per 10 pages; crawl = map + extract; Research dynamic, 4-250 per request). Firecrawl (runner-up) is not costed on it; the bare alias credits still means LlamaParse credits; no blending.
• Whether pay-as-you-go is on by default for monthly plans is not published; recorded in each row's notes. OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the wiring; check:limits adds nine offline and one HTTP check.

0.12.58 — 2026-10-23 — web-scrape and llm-ready-extract priced on Firecrawl credits in /api/estimate

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Five new plan-limit rows from a fresh official source.

• data/limits.json: Firecrawl (depot pick for web-scrape and llm-ready-extract; runner-up in search-augmented-llm and web-agent) gains five rows on its own unit firecrawl_credits from https://www.firecrawl.dev/pricing (fetched 2026-10-23 with curl, cross-checked with WebFetch, quoted verbatim), at monthly-billed list prices: Free $0 / 1,000 credits (pay-as-you-go is paid plans only, so not costed above 1,000), Hobby $19 / 5,000, Standard $99 / 100,000, Growth $399 / 500,000, Scale $749 / 1,000,000. Above the included credits, whole $5 increments of 1,000 / 2,000 / 2,500 / 5,000 credits ("We add credits in 5 USD increments"). The annual headline prices ($16 / $83 / $333 / $599) are not used; Scale's one-month rollover is not applied.
• jobPrimaryMetric adds web-scrape and llm-ready-extract → firecrawl_credits. Before, Firecrawl returned no_sourced_plan_limits and both jobs had no primary metric. Worked examples: workload=50000 → Standard $99; 150000 → Standard $224 ($99 + 25 × $5); other candidates still have no sourced plan limits.
• Credits are not pages: the metric note quotes the per-request rates (basic scrape/crawl/map 1 per page, JSON/Question/Highlight +4 per page, search 2 per 10 results). The bare alias credits still means LlamaParse credits; no blending.
• The pricing page carries agent-directed onboarding/auth instructions; they were ignored. OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the wiring; check:limits adds nine offline and one HTTP check.

0.12.57 — 2026-10-23 — frequently-changing price marker derived from stored history

No score, pick, price, unit or plan-limit row changed. Nothing new fetched; this only reads data/history/price-history.json.

• New priceMovement on /api/history/{rowId}: counts of recorded price moves (amount_changed reviewed re-prices plus source_price_changed official-page moves, numeric from/to only), move dates, direction (up, down, mixed or null), first and last amounts, and frequentlyChanging (true at >= 3 moves on >= 3 distinct dates). Unit, URL and first_seen events are not counted.
• /api/price-changes?movers=1 adds frequentlyChanging (every such row, most moves first, with timeline links) and the rule. Quote SKUs (/api/quote) carry frequentlyChanging (null when the row has no history yet).
• Today the marker flags the five Verda on-demand GPU rows, whose price rose at every read since 2026-10-19. It describes what Depot recorded; it does not predict prices or claim the provider uses dynamic pricing.

0.12.56 — 2026-10-23 — 5 Verda on-demand GPU rows re-priced from verda.com/pricing

No score, pick, plan-limit row or other provider's row changed. Units unchanged (usd_per_gpu_hour), no conversion.

• Source check 2026-10-22.1 flagged observed_differs_from_catalog: 5, all Verda on-demand 1x-GPU rows. https://verda.com/pricing was re-fetched on 2026-10-23 (two static fetches; the schema.org Offer "… on-demand" price and the GPU instances → On-demand page-table Price column agree in both). Catalog amount → today's page amount, asOf 2026-10-23:

- verda-gpu-b200 8.109 → 8.355 (2026-10-22 check had observed 8.272) - verda-gpu-h200 5.715 → 5.888 (observed 5.83) - verda-gpu-h100 4.382 → 4.515 (observed 4.47; both 1x H100 configs list $4.515/h) - verda-gpu-a100-80gb 2.076 → 2.128 (observed 2.107) - verda-gpu-l40s 1.791 → 1.809 (same as observed)

• Verda's on-demand prices have risen at every read since 2026-10-19; the page does not state a reason or describe its prices as dynamic, so no reason is recorded. Spot, serverless and multi-GPU prices on the same page were not used.
• data/price-reviews.json: five updated entries (static_fetch, before/after). Reviewed catalog step recorded with node scripts/history.mjs --catalog (run 2026-10-23.1, attested, OTS-stamped). pending-reprice now lists 4 Verda rows only because the latest source check (2026-10-22.1) observed lower amounts than today's page; the next source check should clear them.

0.12.55 — 2026-10-23 — enterprise-sso priced on WorkOS SSO connections in /api/estimate

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. One plan-limit row extended from a fresh official source.

• data/limits.json: the WorkOS AuthKit row gains an own-unit meter workos_sso_connections from https://workos.com/pricing (fetched 2026-10-23, quoted verbatim): $125 per production SSO connection for 1-15, none free, staging free. Above 15 the plan returns null (exceeds_plan_maximum_tier_application_above_15_connections_not_published): the page lists 16-30 $100, 31-50 $80, 51-100 $65 and 101+ "Talk to us" but not whether a band's rate covers every connection or only the ones in the band, so no number is invented.
• jobPrimaryMetric adds "enterprise-sso": "workos_sso_connections" (WorkOS is the depot pick). Before, the job was left unwired on purpose because WorkOS's only sourced unit was MAU, which does not drive SSO cost. Worked example: workload=5 → WorkOS $625, the only priced candidate; Auth0, Clerk and Stytch return metric_not_published_for_plan (Clerk keeps its own clerk_sso_connections; no blending).
• Metric note and OpenAPI /api/estimate describe the wiring; check:limits adds five offline and one HTTP check.

0.12.54 — 2026-10-23 — postgres-vector, rag-memory and app-backend wired to their pick's unit in /api/estimate

No score, pick, plan-limit row or catalog price row changed; no new source fetched (reuses the Supabase, Neon and Clerk rows already in data/limits.json).

• data/limits.json jobPrimaryMetric adds "postgres-vector": "db_storage_gb", "rag-memory": "db_storage_gb" and "app-backend": "mau". Supabase is the depot pick for all three. Before, each had primaryMetric: null and a bare workload number was unknown. Editorial call (delegated): vector and memory jobs are billed by stored data, an app backend by users.
• Worked examples: postgres-vector workload=100 (GB) → Supabase Pro $36.50 (pick), Neon Launch $35 cheapest, AWS EC2 unsourced; rag-memory workload=20 → Supabase Pro $26.50, the only priced candidate (Upstash Redis metric_not_published_for_plan); app-backend workload=200000 → Supabase Pro $350 cheapest, Clerk priced on MRU, Neon and Railway not costed on users. Units are never converted.
• Metric notes and OpenAPI /api/estimate describe the wiring; check:limits adds three offline and two HTTP checks.

0.12.53 — 2026-10-23 — agent-dlq-retry wired to messages_millions in /api/estimate

No score, pick, plan-limit row or catalog price row changed; no new source fetched (reuses the Upstash QStash rows already in data/limits.json).

• data/limits.json jobPrimaryMetric adds "agent-dlq-retry": "messages_millions" (Upstash QStash is the depot pick, as in serverless-agent-queue). Before, the job had primaryMetric: null and a bare workload number was unknown.
• Worked example: workload=1 (1M messages) → QStash Pay as You Go $10, the only priced candidate; AWS SQS, Azure Service Bus, Synadia Cloud and GCP Pub/Sub have no sourced plan limits. The QStash retry-billing conflict still applies (budget retries as billed messages).
• Metric note and OpenAPI /api/estimate describe the wiring; check:limits adds an offline and an HTTP check.

0.12.52 — 2026-10-22 — user-management, cost-monitoring and agent-trace-session-replay wired to their pick's unit in /api/estimate

No score, pick, plan-limit row or catalog price row changed; no new source fetched (reuses Clerk, Supabase, Auth0, Stytch, Langfuse and LangSmith rows already in data/limits.json).

• data/limits.json jobPrimaryMetric adds "user-management": "mau" (Clerk is the pick, as in auth), "cost-monitoring": "langfuse_units" (Langfuse is the pick, as in llm-tracing) and "agent-trace-session-replay": "langsmith_base_traces" (LangSmith is the pick). Before, all three had primaryMetric: null and a bare workload number was unknown.
• Worked examples: user-management 20000 → Clerk Hobby $0 (3 candidates priced); 100000 → Clerk Pro $1,025, Supabase Pro $25 cheapest; cost-monitoring 1000000 → Langfuse Core $101; agent-trace-session-replay 100000 → LangSmith Developer $475.
• No blending: Helicone, Portkey, Braintrust and Langfuse return metric_not_published_for_plan on another vendor's unit; OpenRouter, Vantage, Honeycomb and Arize Phoenix have no sourced plan limits. Jobs whose pick's unit would mislead (enterprise-sso and agent-m2m-identity on MAU, marketing-email on API email volume) were deliberately left unwired.
• Metric notes and OpenAPI /api/estimate describe the wiring; check:limits adds offline and HTTP checks.

0.12.51 — 2026-10-22 — cheap-egress-storage wired to storage_gb_month in /api/estimate

No score, pick, plan-limit row or catalog price row changed; no new source fetched (reuses the R2 and Backblaze B2 rows already in data/limits.json).

• data/limits.json jobPrimaryMetric adds "cheap-egress-storage": "storage_gb_month". R2 is the depot pick for both object-storage and cheap-egress-storage, so a bare number now means GB-month of Standard storage there too (before, /api/estimate?jtbd=cheap-egress-storage had primaryMetric: null and a bare workload=1000 was unknown, so every candidate showed $0 on an empty workload).
• Worked examples: workload=1000 → R2 $14.85 (depot pick), Backblaze B2 $6.88 (cheapest); storage_gb_month=1000,egress_gb=5000 → R2 $14.85 cheapest (egress $0), B2 $26.88 (3,000 GB free, 2,000 × $0.01).
• No blending: egress stays its own egress_gb meter; DigitalOcean App Platform returns metric_not_published_for_plan; Tigris, Hetzner, MinIO and Wasabi still have no sourced plan limits.
• The storage_gb_month metric note and OpenAPI /api/estimate describe the wiring. check:limits adds offline and HTTP checks.

0.12.50 — 2026-10-22 — Cloudflare AI Gateway (llm-ai-gateway runner-up) plan limits: gateway logs in Workers Logs, Workers Free / Workers Paid

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Sources fetched 2026-10-22 (curl with browser headers, HTML and markdown versions; cross-checked with WebFetch, same tables): https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway/reference/pricing/ ("Last updated Oct 15, 2026"), https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/observability/logs/workers-logs/ ("Last updated Oct 12, 2026"), https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/pricing/, the AI Gateway Logging and Legacy Logs pages, and https://developers.cloudflare.com/observability/pricing/. No agent-directed instructions were found on the pages.

• Candidates reviewed: Vercel AI Gateway ("no markup and no platform fee on tokens", provider list rates, "$5 /month included" free credit) and OpenRouter (platform fee 5.5% / 8% on credit purchases, pass-through tokens, BYOK "$25,000 of list price inference / month with no fees, 5% fee after") have no own-unit plan structure to encode honestly (pass-through token cost and percentage fees), so neither got rows. Cloudflare AI Gateway's core is free, and its only metered own-unit charge is gateway logs.
• data/limits.json adds 2 Cloudflare AI Gateway rows (before, /api/limits?provider=cloudflare-ai-gateway had 0 items and /api/estimate returned no_sourced_plan_limits for it), for accounts whose first gateway was created on or after September 24, 2026 ("store logs in Workers Logs and follow Workers Logs pricing and retention"): Workers Free $0 ("200,000 per day", no paid overage) and Workers Paid $5 account minimum ("20 million included per month +$0.60 per additional million", prorated like Cloudflare's own examples), billedPer: "account", exact, not upper bound.
• Two new meters in Cloudflare's own unit, never blended with portkey_requests, helicone_requests or workers_requests_millions: cf_aigw_logs (log events written per month) and cf_aigw_logs_per_day (the Free daily allowance, never converted to monthly). No engine change; no bare logs=/requests= alias; llm-rate-limit-shield (pick Cloudflare AI Gateway) is not wired.
• Worked examples: cf_aigw_logs=1000000 → Workers Paid $5 (Free not costed on a monthly figure); 20M → $5; 30M → $5 + 10 × $0.60 = $11; 50M → $23; 200M → $113 (Cloudflare's Example 2 logs line $108 + $5); cf_aigw_logs_per_day=200000 → Workers Free $0; 200,001/day → not costed.
• Valid until 2026-11-30: "Beginning December 1, 2026, Workers Logs will use Cloudflare Observability pricing", which lists AI Gateway logs under a per-GB model (Paid 50 GB ingestion then $0.25/GB, 10 GB-month storage then $0.10/GB-month); not encoded (different unit, not in effect yet).
• One conflict recorded: Cloudflare's Workers Logs examples give "Total $6.00" / "$108.00" for the logs line alone, without the Workers Paid "$5 USD per month for an account" minimum; Depot adds the $5 base.
• Not encoded (noted on the rows): Legacy Logs accounts (stored-log caps, not per-event billing), the free gateway core, upstream model-provider charges, Unified Billing's 5% credit fee, Guardrails (Workers AI), Logpush, retention, Enterprise, taxes. No cloudflare-ai-gateway rows exist in data/pricing-rows.json; providers.json pricingNotes (as of 2026-09-14) describe only the Legacy Logs limits and were not changed.
• OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the Cloudflare rows. check:limits: rows sourced and dated, meter shape, verbatim quotes, meters declared and used only by Cloudflare, the conflict, no catalog rows, worked estimates, no blending with Portkey/Helicone, Portkey still the llm-ai-gateway depot pick, rate-limit-shield not wired; plus 3 HTTP checks.

0.12.49 — 2026-10-22 — llm-ai-gateway wired to Portkey's own unit (portkey_requests) in /api/estimate

No score, pick, plan-limit row or catalog price row changed; no new source fetched (reuses the Portkey rows sourced in 0.12.48 from https://portkey.ai/pricing, fetched 2026-10-22).

• data/limits.json jobPrimaryMetric adds "llm-ai-gateway": "portkey_requests". Portkey is the llm-ai-gateway depot pick, so a bare number there now means Portkey requests (before, /api/estimate?jtbd=llm-ai-gateway had primaryMetric: null, a bare workload=1m was unknown and /api/answer?volume= returned no_plan_limits_for_job).
• Worked examples: workload=10k → Developer $0; 1m → Production $49 + 9 × $9 = $130 (exact, not upper bound); 3000000 → $310; 3000001 → not costed (custom pricing).
• No blending: Helicone (runner-up) stays uncosted on portkey_requests (metric_not_published_for_plan) and a helicone_requests workload leaves Portkey uncosted; Vercel AI Gateway, Cloudflare AI Gateway, OpenRouter and Cloudflare Workers AI still have no sourced plan limits. llm-rate-limit-shield (pick Cloudflare AI Gateway) is not wired. No bare requests= alias.
• The portkey_requests metric note now says it is llm-ai-gateway's primary metric, that past 10,000 on Developer requests still route but logs stop ("we'll stop recording logs"), so Developer is not costed past 10,000, and that upstream model token charges are excluded.
• OpenAPI /api/estimate notes the wiring. check:limits: wiring, bare-number estimates, no blending with Helicone, pick unchanged, rate-limit-shield not wired (+ HTTP).

0.12.48 — 2026-10-22 — Portkey (llm-tracing runner-up) plan limits: Developer / Production with recorded requests up to 3M

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Sources: https://portkey.ai/pricing (fetched 2026-10-22; HTML via curl including the plan cards and the Detailed Plan Comparision table; the FAQ answers are only in the page's Framer JS chunk and were read there; cross-checked with WebFetch, same numbers) and https://portkey.ai/docs/product/product-feature-comparison (same table).

• data/limits.json adds 2 Portkey rows (before, /api/estimate?jtbd=llm-tracing returned no_sourced_plan_limits for portkey and /api/limits?provider=portkey had 0 items): Developer $0 ("10k recorded logs per month", "No Overage Allowed", hard cap; requests still pass, logs stop) and Production $49/mo ("100k recorded logs per month +$9 overages per additional 100k requests", "$9/Month for Every 100K Up to 3M Requests"), billedPer: "account", exact, not upper bound.
• One new meter in Portkey's own unit, never blended with helicone_requests, langfuse_units, langsmith_*, logfire_* or opik_*: portkey_requests (gateway requests recorded as logs; 10,000 / 100,000 included, then $9 per 100,000 on Production, prorated linearly because billing granularity is not published, so a non-multiple could be up to $9 higher). Production has maxTotal 3,000,000 with production_overage_up_to_3m_requests_above_custom_pricing: above 3M Enterprise is "Custom Pricing" and no price is invented. No engine change; no bare requests= alias.
• Worked examples: 10k → Developer $0; 20k → Production $49 (Developer not costed); 100k → $49; 250k → $62.50; 1M → Production $49 + 9 × $9 = $130; 3M → $310; 3,000,001 → not costed.
• One conflict recorded: the allowance is worded "recorded logs" on the cards but "requests" in the overage line, the comparison table and the FAQ; no price impact, Depot counts one recorded request as one log.
• Not encoded (noted on the rows): retention, prompt templates, caching TTLs, guardrails, RBAC, Enterprise, the self-hosted Open Source gateway, upstream model-provider charges, rate limits, taxes. The catalog row portkey-production-usd-per-month ($49, "+$9 per additional 100k requests") agrees and is unchanged; providers.json pricingNotes agree. No agent-directed instructions were found on the pages.
• OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the Portkey rows. check:limits: rows sourced and dated, per-row/per-meter shape, verbatim card/table/FAQ/docs quotes, meter declared and used only by Portkey, the conflict, the catalog row unchanged, worked estimates incl. the 3M ceiling, no blending with Helicone/Langfuse/LangSmith/Logfire/Opik, Langfuse still the depot pick, no bare requests= alias; plus 3 HTTP checks.

0.12.47 — 2026-10-22 — Comet Opik (llm-tracing runner-up) plan limits: Free Cloud / Pro Cloud with spans and team-member caps

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Source: https://www.comet.com/site/pricing/ (fetched 2026-10-22; HTML via curl including the plan cards, the Compare Plans "Monthly Usage" table and the Questions & Answers; cross-checked with WebFetch, same numbers).

• data/limits.json adds 2 Comet Opik rows (before, /api/estimate?jtbd=llm-tracing returned no_sourced_plan_limits for comet-opik): Free Cloud $0 ("Up to 10 team members 25k spans per month", Additional Spans "—", hard cap) and Pro Cloud $19/mo ("Up to 50 team members 100k spans per month", "$5/100k spans"), billedPer: "account", exact, not upper bound.
• Two new meters in Opik's own units, never blended with langfuse_units, helicone_requests, langsmith_* or logfire_*: opik_spans (raw span count; 25,000 / 100,000 included, then $5 per 100,000 on Pro Cloud, prorated linearly because billing granularity is not published) and opik_team_members (a plan ceiling, maxTotal 10 / 50, no per-member price). No engine change.
• Worked examples: 25k spans → Free Cloud $0; 100k → Pro Cloud $19; 250k → $26.50; 1M → Pro Cloud $19 + 9 × $5 = $64; 10M → $514; 20k spans + 20 members → Pro Cloud $19 (Free Cloud not costed, 10-member cap); 51 members → no Cloud plan costed (Enterprise).
• One conflict recorded: plan cards "Up to 10 team members" / "Up to 50 team members" vs the FAQ "All plans include unlimited team members"; no price impact, Depot uses the stricter card caps.
• Not encoded (noted on the rows): the Additional Span Retention add-on ("$29/100k spans", 60 → 400 days; the page does not say whether it replaces or adds to the span charge), customizable span limits and retention, the Pro free trial, the free academic Pro plan, Ollie / Opik Connect tokens, Open Source self-hosting, the separate Comet MLOps product, Enterprise, API rate limits, taxes.

0.12.46 — 2026-10-22 — Pydantic Logfire (llm-tracing runner-up) plan limits: Personal / Team / Growth with records and seats

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Sources: https://pydantic.dev/pricing (fetched 2026-10-22; HTML via curl including the comparison table, FAQ and the page's calculator script; cross-checked with WebFetch) and https://pydantic.dev/docs/logfire/manage/logfire-costs/ (fetched 2026-10-22, redirect target of https://logfire.pydantic.dev/docs/logfire-costs/; same allowance, rate and seat limits).

• data/limits.json adds 3 Logfire rows (before, /api/estimate?jtbd=llm-tracing returned no_sourced_plan_limits for logfire): Personal $0 ("10M telemetry records/month — hard-capped at $0", 1 seat, no paid overage), Team $49/mo ("10M records included · $2/M after", "5 seats included, $25/extra seat", up to 12 seats) and Growth $249/mo (same records rate, "All seats included, flat price No per-seat cost"), billedPer: "account", exact, not upper bound.
• Two new meters in Logfire's own units, never blended with langfuse_units, helicone_requests or langsmith_*: logfire_records (spans + logs + metrics combined, raw count; 10,000,000 included on every plan, then $2 per 1,000,000 on Team and Growth, prorated linearly as the page calculator does) and logfire_seats (Personal 1 with maxTotal 1; Team 5 included, $25 each, maxTotal 12; Growth $0 per seat). No engine change.
• Worked examples: 10M records → Personal $0; 12.5M → Team $54; 50M → Team $129; 100M → Team $49 + 90 × $2 = $229 (Growth $429, Personal not costed); 20M + 8 seats → Team $49 + 3 × $25 + $20 = $144 (Growth $269); 13 seats → Team not costed (12-seat maximum), Growth.
• One conflict recorded: Personal past the allowance — pricing page "Once you hit the limit, ingestion pauses" vs billing docs "Logfire also keeps accepting and storing what you send … Further past the allowance, new data stops being stored"; no price impact (both say Personal never bills), Personal treated as hard-capped.
• Not encoded (noted on the rows): read-only guests, projects, retention, Query API limits, AI Gateway markup (5% / 3%; BYOK 0%), the optional spending cap, the 5 KB payload budget, the money-back guarantee, financial assistance, Enterprise, taxes. No Logfire rows exist in data/pricing-rows.json; providers.json pricingNotes agree.

• Three new meters in LangSmith's own units, never blended with langfuse_units or helicone_requests: langsmith_seats (Developer included 1 with maxTotal 1; Plus base $39 is the first seat, then $39 per seat), langsmith_base_traces ($0.005 per trace above the included 5,000 / 10,000, from the tooltip "0.005 LSU/base trace" and "1 LSU = $1."), langsmith_extended_traces ($0.0025 per "extended trace upgrade", on top of the base trace, no included allowance).

• Two new meters in Helicone's own units, never blended with langfuse_units or other vendors: helicone_requests (10,000 included, then graduated $0.0007 / $0.00035 / $0.000175 / $0.0000875 / $0.00004375 / $0.00002 per request at 30k / 90k / 250k / 800k / 2.5M / 2.5M+) and helicone_storage_gb (graduated $3.25 / $2 / $1.25 / $0.75 / $0.50 per GB at 30 / 80 / 200 / 450 / 450+ GB), both as overageTiers (the page calculator prices each slice at its band's rate).
• Worked examples: 100k requests → Pro $79 + $14 + $21 + $1.75 = $115.75; 1M → $198.88; 3M → $274.50; 100k requests + 10 GB → $148.25; the calculator default (10K requests × 8000 tokens, 0.30 GB) → $0.97 usage, reproduced.
• One conflict recorded: the comparison table's "1 GB free" storage on paid plans vs the calculator and billing code (freeGB: 0); Pro/Team storage is costed from the first GB (at most $3.25/month higher).
• Not encoded (noted on the rows): retention, ingestion/API rate limits, seats/organizations, the 7-day free trial, startup/non-profit/open-source/student discounts, Enterprise, taxes. The page banner "Helicone is no longer part of Mintlify. Details to come soon." is noted (Helicone is flagged maintenance_mode). No Helicone rows exist in data/pricing-rows.json.

0.12.43 — 2026-10-22 — Postmark (transactional-email runner-up) plan limits: every published volume tier, exact instead of upper bound

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Sources: https://postmarkapp.com/pricing (fetched 2026-10-22; HTML via curl including the slider script /dist/js/pricing.44675b0a700fd8b9c0ca.js, cross-checked with the rendered page) and https://postmarkapp.com/pricing.txt (fetched 2026-10-22; Postmark's plain-text pricing, read by the page's own agent-tools script). The two agree on every price and rate.

• data/limits.json replaces the 3 Postmark paid rows (Basic / Pro / Platform at 10,000 emails only, each flagged upper bound because "a higher-volume tier may cost less") with 18 rows, one per published tier on emails_per_month, USD monthly, billedPer: "account", none upper bound: Basic 10k $15, 50k $55, 125k $115, 300k $245, 700k $455, 1.5M $775; Pro 10k $16.50, 50k $60.50, 125k $126.50, 300k $269.50, 700k $500.50, 1.5M $852.50; Platform 10k $18, 50k $66, 125k $138, 300k $294, 700k $546, 1.5M $930.

Each row quotes the pricing.txt volume and overage rows and the slider entry verbatim (e.g. {amount:X.range[1],min:X.range[1],max:X.range[2],base_price:55,overagesPrice:1.8}); the 10k rows also quote the plan cards. Free (Developer) is re-verified (100 emails/month, no overage).
• Published pricing ends below 3,000,000 emails/month ("Published pricing covers volumes up to 3 million emails per month. Sending 3 million or more? Postmark offers custom pricing"; slider max_volume:3e6 → "Big Sender!"), so every paid tier uses the existing maxTotal field (2,999,999, big_sender_custom_pricing). Postmark counts emails sent and received, now documented on emails_per_month. No engine change and no new meter.
• Worked examples: 20k emails → Pro 10k $16.50 + 10 × $1.30 = $29.50 (exact; Basic 10k $33, Platform 10k $30; SES stays cheapest at $2); 50k → Basic 50k $55; 100k → Basic 125k $115; 300k → Basic 300k $245; 1M → Basic 1.5M $775; 2.5M → Pro 1.5M $852.50 + 1,000 × $1.20 = $2,052.50; 3M → none (custom pricing). At 20k every transactional-email candidate's cheapest plan is now exact.
• Not encoded (noted on the rows): add-ons (dedicated IPs from $50/month per IP at 300,000+ emails on Pro or higher, custom activity retention from $5/month, DMARC monitoring from $14/month per domain), Big Sender custom pricing, the $75 bootstrapped-company credit, taxes. Postmark has no annual plans.
• Two conflicts recorded: (1) the Depot catalog's flat overage rows (postmark-basic-overage $1.80, postmark-pro-overage $1.30, postmark-platform-overage $1.20, asOf 2026-10-21) and the page's default card vs pricing.txt "$1.70–$1.80 (volume-dependent)" and the lower 300k+ rates; the catalog rows are right for the 10k–125,000 tiers only and are not changed (re-pricing needs a reviewed --catalog step); (2) "Published pricing covers volumes up to 3 million" vs the Big Sender form's "Less than 1.5 million/month" volume option.
• OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the Postmark tiers (and no longer names Postmark as the upper-bound example). check:limits: 19 rows sourced and dated, every tier's base, included, overage, maxTotal and verbatim quotes, Free, notes, metric definition, both conflicts, catalog rows untouched, worked estimates above, no transactional-email upper bound at 20k, SES still cheapest; the 20k Postmark Basic check now expects exact; /api/limits?provider=postmark → 19 plans, 2 conflicts; plus 3 new HTTP estimate checks.

0.12.42 — 2026-10-22 — Backblaze B2 (object-storage runner-up) plan limits: pay-as-you-go storage, egress and free transactions

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Sources: https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage/pricing (fetched 2026-10-22; HTML via curl including its inline price table and calculator script, cross-checked with the rendered page) and https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage/transaction-pricing (fetched 2026-10-22).

• data/limits.json adds 1 Backblaze B2 row (before, /api/estimate?jtbd=object-storage returned no_sourced_plan_limits for backblaze-b2): "B2 Cloud Storage (pay as you go)", base $0, billedPer: "account", not upper bound. Meters in Backblaze's own units: storage_gb_month (10 GB free, "First 10GB storage is always free.", then $6.95 per 1,000 GB-month: "$ 6.95 /TB/30-days"; the page's own price table has 'b2-monthly-gb': 0.00695 and its calculator GB_PER_TB = 1000, so this is Backblaze's figure, not a conversion; byte-hour billed, not whole units), egress_gb (free up to 3 × stored data via the existing includedPerUnitOf field, then "$0.01 per GB"), and class_a_ops_millions / class_b_ops_millions at $0 ("Class A, B, and C API calls are free for pay-as-you-go customers").
• Worked examples: 1,000 GB-month → (1000 − 10) = 990 → 0.99 × $6.95 = $6.88 (R2 $14.85 stays the depot pick; the estimate's cheapest is now B2); 1,000 GB + 5,000 GB egress → 3,000 GB free, 2,000 × $0.01 = $20, total $26.88 (R2 cheapest at $14.85); 10,000 GB + 30,000 GB egress → $69.43. 2 of 9 object-storage candidates are now priced.
• Not encoded (noted on the row): Class D transactions ("$0.004 per 10,000 calls plus the first 2,500 calls per day are free"; daily allowance, no Depot meter), free egress through CDN/compute partners, annual 1–5 year capacity commitments, B2 Overdrive ("Starts at $ 15 / TB / mo", multi-petabyte commitment), B2 Reserve, support/migration add-ons, taxes. B2 has no Infrequent Access class, so ia_* workloads return metric_not_published_for_plan. No Backblaze rows exist in data/pricing-rows.json.
• Three conflicts recorded: (1) $6.95/TB on the pricing page vs "$ 0.005 /GB/month" on the transaction-pricing page; (2) $6.95/TB vs "$5/TB/month" in the pricing page's own FAQ JSON-LD; (3) "First 10GB storage is always free." vs the page calculator's b2Cost, which bills every TB (≤ $0.07/month difference). The visible $6.95/TB and the 10 GB allowance are encoded.
• storage_gb_month and egress_gb metric definitions document Backblaze's measurement. OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the B2 row. check:limits: row sourced and dated, meters and rates, verbatim quotes (card, FAQ, price table, GB_PER_TB, transaction classes), conflicts, worked examples, IA not blended, includedPerUnitOf allow-list extended to B2, and HTTP checks (1,000 GB → B2 $6.88; with 5,000 GB egress → $26.88; /api/limits?provider=backblaze-b2 → 1 plan, 3 conflicts). The R2 HTTP check now asserts R2 $14.85 as depot pick rather than cheapest. The generic "unsourced candidate → null" check stays on object-storage tigris (still unsourced).

Two meters in Customer.io's own units, never blended: emails_per_month (1,000,000 included, "Additional 1,000 emails $0.12") and the new customerio_profiles (5,000 included, "Additional people & object profiles $0.009"; high-watermark count incl. profiles deleted in the period). /api/estimate accepts profiles= as an alias.
• The page's profile selector (10k $145, 20k $235, 30k $325, 40k $415, 50k+ $505+) equals $100 + $0.009 per profile above 5,000, so it is reproduced by the meter, not encoded as extra rows.
• Worked examples: 20k emails → $100 (profiles assumed ≤ 5,000); 1.5M emails → $100 + 500 × $0.12 = $160; 20k emails + 10k profiles → $145. SES stays cheapest at 20k ($2); all 6 candidates are now priced.
• Not encoded (noted on the row): Premium ("starts at $1,000 per month / billed yearly", custom volumes), Enterprise, AI credits ($10 / 100K), SMS/WhatsApp, the Startup Program, the Essentials warm-up daily email limits (500/day for new accounts, then 10,000/day), dedicated IPs, taxes. No Customer.io rows exist in data/pricing-rows.json.

• OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the Customer.io row. check:limits: row sourced and dated, both meters and rates, verbatim quotes (card, table, selector, docs rate table), customerio_profiles declared and used only by Customer.io, both conflicts, worked estimates, selector prices reproduced, profiles= alias, profile workloads not blended into other candidates, SES still cheapest; the generic "unsourced candidate" check now uses object-storage tigris; plus 3 HTTP checks.

• data/limits.json adds 7 SendGrid rows (before, /api/estimate?jtbd=transactional-email returned no_sourced_plan_limits for sendgrid), USD monthly, billedPer: "account", one per slider tier on emails_per_month: Essentials 50k ($19.95), Essentials 100k ($34.95), Pro 100k ($89.95), Pro 300k ($249), Pro 700k ($499), Pro 1.5M ($799), Pro 2.5M ($1,099). Each quote copies the slider entry verbatim (e.g. ["Pro 300k","300,000 emails/mo",…,"$249.00/mo"]).
• No overage rate is published ("Taxes and overages may apply"; FAQ "overage charges may apply … Check your plan details for the specifics"), so overage stays null with overageReason: "overage_rate_not_published": above a tier's volume that tier is not costed and the next tier up is. Every tier above Essentials 50k is flagged upper bound, since a lower tier plus unpriced overage may cost less. No new meter.
• Worked examples: 20k emails → Essentials 50k $19.95 (exact); 100k → Essentials 100k $34.95; 120k → Pro 300k $249 (upper bound; Essentials 100k returns exceeds_included_and_overage_rate_not_published); 2.5M → Pro 2.5M $1,099; 3M → none (Premier custom pricing). SES stays cheapest at 20k ($2).
• Not encoded (noted on the rows): the 60-day Free Trial (trials are never applied), Premier (custom pricing), extra dedicated IPs, extra activity history, expert services/support, email validations, taxes. The 10 SendGrid catalog rows in data/pricing-rows.json are Marketing Campaigns per-email/contact overage (a different product, asOf 2026-10-03) and are unchanged.
• Two conflicts recorded: (1) summary/table/FAQ say the free tier is a 60-day trial, while the slider data labels later positions "Free … Send 100 emails/day for free … $0/mo"; (2) the support article sends readers to the pricing FAQ for overage costs, but the FAQ publishes no rate.
• OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the SendGrid tiers. check:limits: 7 rows sourced and dated, each tier's base, included and verbatim slider quote, no invented overage or free/daily meter, upper-bound flags, both conflicts, worked estimates above, SES still cheapest, the generic "unsourced candidate" check now uses customer-io, plus 2 HTTP checks.

0.12.39 — 2026-10-22 — Mailgun (transactional-email runner-up) plan limits: every published volume tier

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Source: https://www.mailgun.com/pricing/ (fetched 2026-10-22; HTML via curl including the page's embedded pricingData slider table, cross-checked with the rendered page).

Tier prices come from the slider data and the per-tier overage from the page's "Additional messages" tooltips ("Scale 100k $1.10 Scale 250k $0.90 …").
• One row per tier means the estimate picks the cheapest tier exactly, so Mailgun rows are not flagged upper bound (unlike Postmark, whose slider tiers are not encoded). At 20k emails/month: Mailgun Basic $15 + 10 × $1.80 = $33; SES stays cheapest at $2.
• Free publishes only a daily cap: new metric mailgun_emails_per_day (100, no overage). It is never converted to a monthly figure, so a monthly workload returns metric_not_published_for_plan:emails_per_month for Free.
• Not encoded (noted on the rows): email validations (separate product with graduated per-100 bands), extra dedicated IPs ($59/IP/month), the "Free for 1 month" trials, EUR/GBP prices and the slider's "More" (contact sales).
• One conflict recorded: the FAQ says "One dedicated IP is included with Foundation 100k, Growth and Scale plans", but the page offers no Growth plan and the comparison table says Foundation "Access at 50k, included at 100K+ volumes". No Growth row encoded.
• OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the Mailgun tiers. check:limits: 10 rows sourced and dated, each tier's base, included and overage quoted, Free daily cap on its own meter, conflict, worked estimates (20k → $33, 60k → $48, 100k → $75, 300k → $260, 3M → $1,450, 50/day → $0, 150/day → none), SES still cheapest, plus 2 HTTP checks.

• New meters, each in DigitalOcean's own unit and never blended: do_app_container_months_<slug> for the 14 current container sizes ($5 apps-s-1vcpu-0.5gb up to $392 apps-d-8vcpu-32gb per container-month; billed by the second for at most 28 days a month, so a full month is 1); do_app_static_site_apps (3 free, then $3.00 per app); do_app_outbound_transfer_gib ($0.02 per GiB above the team pool); do_app_dedicated_egress_ip_months ($25.00 per app-month); do_app_dev_database_months ($7.00 per 512 MB database).
• Engine (small): optional meter field includedPerUnitOf — the meter's included amount grows with usage of other meters on the same plan (effective included = included + Σ usage × per unit). DigitalOcean's transfer pool is each container size's allowance (50 … 900 GiB per container-month) plus 1 GiB per static-site app, so callers send total GiB. Shared by /api/estimate and /api/stack/cost; the pool appears in the arithmetic. No other row uses it.

• Engine: optional meter maxTotal / maxTotalReason (a published ceiling on total usage, e.g. Developer "Users 25"; above it → null with exceeds_plan_maximum_…, in /api/estimate and /api/stack/cost) and optional plan lacksFeatureForJobs (Doppler Developer has no automatic secret rotation, so it is not costed for secret-rotation-automation: plan_lacks_job_feature:…).
• One conflict recorded: Developer free seat threshold (plan card "Free for 3 users" vs FAQ "switch back to a free plan as long as your workplace has less than 3 seats").
• OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the meters. check:limits: quotes verbatim, Developer 10 users $56 / 25 $176 / 26 → null, Team 10 $210 / 501 → null, 150 syncs → null, secret-rotation-automation 10 seats → Team $210 with Developer not costed, runners-up never costed on seats, agent-secrets seats=10 → Developer $56, stack/cost Team $210; HTTP for both jobs.

0.12.32 — 2026-10-22 — Infisical (agent-secrets pick) plan limits: per-identity cost and Agent Vault brokered requests

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Source: https://infisical.com/pricing (fetched 2026-10-22). Closes the watchdog-report gap that Depot missed Infisical's separately priced Agent Vault SKU.

• data/limits.json adds Infisical rows (the agent-secrets pick had no sourced plan limits, so /api/estimate?jtbd=agent-secrets returned no_sourced_plan_limits): Secrets Management Free ($0, 5 identities, hard cap; 10 secret syncs), Pro ($23 per identity per month on monthly billing; 25 syncs), Advanced ($46 per identity per month; 50 syncs), and Agent Vault Pro (5,000 brokered requests free per month, then $2 per 1,000). Annual rates ($20 / $40) are noted, never blended; Enterprise (custom) is not listed.
• New meters infisical_identities (alias identities=, primary metric for agent-secrets), infisical_agent_vault_requests (aliases brokered_requests=, agent_vault_requests=) and plan limit infisical_secret_syncs (alias secret_syncs=). Agent Vault is a separate product row: a workload mixing identities and brokered requests is not costed on any single row (cost each and add).
• One conflict recorded: free-trial length (HTML page "14-day free trial" vs the page's markdown rendering "30-day free trial"); trials are not applied to estimates.
• OpenAPI /api/estimate describes the meters. check:limits: quotes verbatim, 12 identities Pro $276 / Advanced $552, Free 6 identities → null, Agent Vault 50k → $90 (prorated, 5.5k → $1), 40 syncs → Advanced, mixed workload → null, runners-up never costed on identities, stack/cost Infisical Pro $276; HTTP agent-secrets 12 identities and 50k brokered requests.

0.12.31 — 2026-10-21 — coverage map no longer calls a lone priced pick "not a price winner"

No score, pick, price or catalog row changed. No external page fetched (code-only correction).

• src/lib/coverage.ts: pickIsPriceWinner was Boolean(quote.pickIsPriceWinner), which turned the quote's null (fewer_than_two_priced_candidates, nothing compared) into false. 14 of the 32 distinct need jobs with a matching price (16 class-need rows) (content-moderation, document-parse, rag-rerank, production-stt, marketing-email, outbound-webhooks, llm-input-guardrails, deep-research-agents, search-augmented-llm, persistent-dev-env, self-host-browser, rag-enterprise, agent-dlq-retry, air-gapped-model-serve) said "not a price winner" in /api/coverage, /agents/coverage and the MCP coverage tool while /api/quote said not compared. Coverage now copies the quote verdict unchanged and adds priceWinnerReason (null when compared).
• Docs (OpenAPI, agents.md, llms-full.txt) and the coverage response schema updated. Correction fix-0.12.31-coverage-lone-price-not-compared (approvalRef Ethan delegation t55u).
• check:matcher: coverage verdict equals quote for every need, null carries a reason, false only with ≥2 priced candidates; HTTP content-moderation → null + fewer_than_two_priced_candidates.

0.12.30 — 2026-10-21 — Clerk (auth pick) estimates use the published graduated MRU pricing; SSO connections costed as their own meter

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. Source: https://clerk.com/pricing (fetched 2026-10-21).

• data/limits.json Clerk Pro and Business: MRU overage was a flat $0.02 above 50,000 ("volume discounts … not applied") while marked exact, so /api/estimate?jtbd=auth overstated Clerk above 100,000 MRU (500k MRU on Pro: $9,025 → $8,225). Now overageTiers from the page's Volume Pricing table: 50,001–100,000 $0.02, 100,001–1,000,000 $0.018, 1,000,001–10,000,000 $0.015, 10,000,001+ $0.012 per MRU per month (bands in total MRU per app, exact at every volume).
• New meter clerk_sso_connections (alias sso_connections=), never blended with MRU: 1 included on Pro/Business, $75/mo each for 2–15, $60/mo each for 16–100, 101+ "Contact us" → null with exceeds_published_tiers_and_contact_sales_over_100_connections; Hobby has none (null with reason). Hobby quote now carries the one-month grace period.
• Notes say MRU ("Clerk bills on retained users, not monthly active users (MAU)"), "per app" inclusion (Depot costs one application), and what is not encoded (MRO / B2B add-on, Directory Sync billing from January 1, 2027, SMS, satellite domains, API-key/M2M overage, Billing 0.7%, seats, annual prices).

0.12.29 — 2026-10-21 — every pack-job option in /api/answer has a sourced price or a priceReason; non-USD prices in priceNative

No score, pick, price or catalog row changed. From Vesper's feedback (acts only when every price has a source link).

• Root cause: answerPack (src/lib/answer.ts) copied an option's price only when a row had a sourced amountUsd; otherwise it silently dropped the price key and gave no reason. Two cases hit it: options whose only sourced prices are non-USD (Friendly Captcha EUR 9 / EUR 39 per month, Hetzner static EUR rows: amountUsd null with amount + currency), and options with no price rows at all (Google Workspace Gmail: seat prices not fetched).
• New packOptionPrice (src/lib/packs.ts): a sourced USD row → price {amountUsd, unit, sourceUrl}; else a sourced non-USD row → price: null, priceReason: "non_usd_only", priceNative {label, amount, currency, unit, sourceUrl} (copied, never converted, never in amountUsd); else the row's stored reason code (e.g. contact_sales, not_reverified, priced_in_eur); else no_sourced_price. Used by /api/answer pack parts (each still ≤ 1 KB; no option trimmed), format=compact (priceReason / native {amount, currency, unit}), and /api/packs?job= / ?id= (options with no sourced USD price gain priceReason and priceNative; prices[] unchanged).
• answer JSON Schema declares pack options (price object or null, priceReason required when price is null, priceNative currency ≠ USD); answerCompact declares its options; OpenAPI, agents.md, llms.txt and both honesty lists describe the rule.
• check:agent-native adds HTTP checks for "bot detection without storing ip" (friendly-captcha: price null, non_usd_only, EUR 9 with https://friendlycaptcha.com/) and "is gmail right for client email at volume" (google-workspace-gmail: no_sourced_price), compact, part size and five /api/packs?job= lists; check:matcher checks every pack option and every answerPack part in-process.

0.12.28 — 2026-10-21 — Cloudflare Workers plan limits; per-site cost for Netlify, Cloudflare and Hetzner; Netlify Pro add-on credits corrected

No score, pick or catalog price row changed. From Vesper's feedback ("real cost per site and per provider across Netlify, Cloudflare and Hetzner"; "whether Netlify fits ~30 small sites, and the cost per site").

• data/limits.json adds sourced Cloudflare Workers plans (the edge-deploy pick), quoted from https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/pricing/ ("Last updated Oct 2, 2026") and https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/limits/ ("Last updated Oct 12, 2026"), both fetched 2026-10-21: Workers Free — $0, "100,000 per day" requests (daily, resetting at midnight UTC, Error 1027 or fail-open above it; not converted to monthly), "10 milliseconds of CPU time per invocation", 100 Workers per account; Workers Paid (Standard) — "minimum charge of $5 USD per month for an account", "10 million included per month +$0.30 per additional million" requests and "30 million CPU milliseconds included per month +$0.02 per additional million CPU milliseconds" (separate meters, never blended), 5 min CPU per invocation, 500 Workers. "Requests to static assets are free and unlimited" (except cache-served requests with Workers Caching enabled). New metrics workers_requests_millions, workers_cpu_ms_millions, workers_requests_per_day, plus plan limits workers_cpu_ms_per_invocation_max, workers_scripts_per_account; edge-deploy primary metric = workers_requests_millions.
• Per site: no source bills these plans per site. Plans now carry billedPer (Netlify team, Cloudflare Workers/Pages account, Hetzner Cloud server, GitHub Pages account/user). POST /api/stack/cost items accept optional sites (1–10,000) and return perSite = item total ÷ sites with perSiteArithmetic and the billing basis; monthly is unchanged. Netlify notes give the page's own arithmetic for 30 sites (30 × 1 production deploy = 450 credits, above Free's 300; 30 × 4 = 1,800 credits, within Pro's 3,000).
• Correction fix-0.12.28-netlify-pro-addon-credits: Netlify Pro add-on credits are "$10 / 1,500 additional credits" (pricing page plan table; docs "1,500 credits for $10"), not the Personal "$5 / 500" copied in v0.12.10.
• check:limits reproduces Cloudflare's five worked examples ($8.00, $5.00, $6.99, $45.40, $34.20), Netlify Pro 1,800 credits = $20 ($0.67/site for 30), Pro 4,500 credits = $30, Personal 1,800 credits = $19, Free 450 credits → null (hard limit), Workers Paid $5 ÷ 30 = $0.17/site, Hetzner €5.99 ÷ 30 = EUR 0.20/site (HTTP included).
• Gaps (not invented): Netlify and Cloudflare Pages have no provider records or scores and there is no static-site-hosting JTBD; Hetzner server-type, traffic and overage numbers are not in the static page HTML; Netlify Pro tiers above 3,000 credits are listed without prices; data/limits.json is USD-only, so Hetzner (EUR) stays in data/stack-plans.json.

0.12.27 — 2026-10-21 — Helicone replaced as pick in two jobs; Browserbase Search priced per provider; unit-relabel review policy

No score changed. Approval for all three items: Ethan delegation 2026-10-21 19:41 ET (chat t55u): 'You make all decisions' -> decided by Agent Depo.

• Helicone picks replaced (editorial, v0.12.7 Bing -> Brave precedent). Helicone has been in maintenance mode since 2026-03-03 (https://www.mintlify.com/blog/mintlify-acquires-helicone, re-fetched 2026-10-21) and helicone.ai still shows the undated banner "Helicone is no longer part of Mintlify. Details to come soon." (re-checked 2026-10-21 on /, /pricing, /changelog; its own letter still returns HTTP 500; public changelog has no entry after November 26, 2025; the GitHub repo shows only security/fix syncs in October 2026). No owner, successor or roadmap is stated. cost-monitoring pick helicone (8.13 for the job) -> langfuse (8.66, highest-scoring live runner-up; cost tracking, spend alerts, Metrics API per langfuse.com docs re-checked today). llm-rate-limit-shield pick helicone (8.12) -> cloudflare-ai-gateway (8.42, highest-scoring live runner-up; free rate limiting with 429, fixed/sliding windows, per user/project/team rate and budget limits via Dynamic Routing, per developers.cloudflare.com docs re-checked today; AI Gateway "operational" on cloudflarestatus.com). Helicone stays as the last runner-up in both jobs and keeps its four other runner-up roles; all six carry the maintenance_mode flag. data/provider-lifecycle.json roles resolved (resolved_replaced x2, resolved_kept_flagged x4) with the approvalRef; data/corrections-log.json entry fix-0.12.27-helicone-maintenance-picks-replaced (editorial_pick_replacement), shown on /corrections, /api/corrections and the changelog feeds; data/runner-up-review.json regenerated (72 -> 70 items). Helicone record, status and scores unchanged; tag maintenance-mode added.
• Browserbase Search price split by provider (not a conflict). Pricing page (fetched 2026-10-21): "1,000 Search calls then $5/1k searches by default" and "$1/1k for Parallel Fast - $5/1k for Parallel Advanced - $7/1k for Exa"; docs Search page https://docs.browserbase.com/platform/search/overview.md: parallel fast $1, parallel advanced (default) $5, exa $7. browserbase-search-calls re-priced $7 -> $5 (default, Parallel Advanced); new rows browserbase-search-calls-parallel-fast $1 and browserbase-search-calls-exa $7, all usd_per_1k_searches, asOf 2026-10-21. The docs plans table (https://docs.browserbase.com/account/billing/plans.md) still shows a flat "$7/1k calls"; quoted in the qualifier. Recorded via node scripts/history.mjs --catalog run 2026-10-21.3 (amount_changed 7 -> 5 with sourceUrl, two first_seen), attested and OTS stamped; three entries in data/price-reviews.json; the Browserbase Search conflict in data/limits.json is marked resolved.
• Unit-relabel policy. The agent-run reviewed --catalog step is acceptable for unit relabels when no amount changes and the change is logged with an approvalRef; documented in HANDOFF.md and the scripts/history.mjs header. The v0.12.24 E2B relabel (ea0cdbc) gets the approvalRef retroactively (fix-0.12.24-e2b-unit-relabel).
• check:data updated for the new picks, roles, corrections entries, Browserbase rows and price-history event (unit + HTTP).

0.12.26 — 2026-10-21 — search no longer suggests a weak JTBD as the next call

No score, pick, price, limit or catalog row changed.

• GET /api/search: next.decideFirstJob now names a JTBD only when it is the top-ranked job hit or matched with high confidence. Before, it took the first JTBD anywhere in the results, so "hotel rate shopping" (top hit: domain-pack job hospitality-rate-shopping) pointed agents at /api/decide?jtbd=gpu-marketplace-router, a medium-confidence hit that matched only "shopping" (Hotelie feedback: common-token matches read as confident noise). Such cases now return decideFirstJob: null with decideFirstJobReason (weak_jtbd_match: …, naming the matched terms and the hit that outranks it), and next.packFirstJob points at /api/packs?job=… when a pack job ranks first. Strong matches are unchanged ("transactional email" → /api/decide?jtbd=transactional-email).
• The search JSON Schema now declares next (decideFirstJob, decideFirstJobReason, packFirstJob, stack, listJtbds); OpenAPI describes the rule. check:agent-native adds four checks (hotel rate shopping: pack first, no weak decide, packFirstJob set; transactional email: decide kept).

0.12.25 — 2026-10-21 — Browserbase plan limits

No score, pick or catalog price row changed.

• data/limits.json adds sourced Browserbase plans, quoted from https://www.browserbase.com/pricing and https://docs.browserbase.com/account/billing/plans.md (both fetched 2026-10-21; they agree on every encoded number): Free — $0/mo, 1 browser hour, 0 GB proxy, 1,000 Fetch calls, 3 concurrent browsers, 15 minutes per session, no overage published (docs "N/A"), so it is not costed above its allocation; Developer — $20/mo, 100 browser hours then $0.12/browser hr, 1 GB proxy then $12/GB, 1,000 Fetch calls then $1/1k, 25 concurrent, 6-hour sessions; Startup — $99/mo, 500 browser hours then $0.10/browser hr, 5 GB proxy then $10/GB, 10,000 Fetch calls then $0.5/1k, 100 concurrent, 6-hour sessions. Scale ("Custom", Contact sales) is not listed.
• New metrics browserbase_browser_hours, browserbase_proxy_gb, browserbase_fetch_calls (Browserbase's own units, separate meters, never blended; aliases browser_hours=, proxy_gb=, fetch_calls=), plus plan limits browserbase_concurrent_browsers and browserbase_session_minutes_max (no overage). cloud-browser and web-agent default to browserbase_browser_hours.
• Not encoded: Search calls (the pricing page says "$5/1k searches by default", the docs say "$7/1k calls"), Fetch with proxies or Extract, Agent runs (no overage published), Model Gateway tokens, captcha and stealth. Three conflicts recorded in conflicts: Free overage (page "no caps" vs docs "N/A"), Search overage ($5 vs $7 per 1k), Developer data retention (page 30 days vs docs 7 days). Catalog row browserbase-search-calls ($7/1k) matches the docs, not the page's default; it is not changed.
• check:limits reproduces arithmetic from the page numbers: Developer 150 h = $20 + 50 × $0.12 = $26; Startup 600 h = $99 + 100 × $0.10 = $109; Developer 150 h + 3 GB proxy = $50; Developer 5,000 Fetch = $24; Developer and Startup break even at 2,050 h ($254); plus 50 concurrent → Startup, 200 concurrent → null (Scale only), 30-minute sessions → not Free, and POST /api/stack/cost Browserbase Developer = $50.

0.12.24 — 2026-10-21 — E2B unit labels corrected; Temporal note re-sourced

No score, pick or catalog amount changed.

• E2B, 7 rows relabelled (unit only): e2b-2/4/6/8-vcpu-usd-per-vcpu-second and e2b-2/4/8-gib-memory-usd-per-gib-second hold the per-size figures from https://e2b.dev/pricing (re-fetched 2026-10-21: vCPUs table "2 … Hobby / Pro $0.000028/s", Memory (GiB) table "4 … $0.0000180/s"), i.e. the charge per second of a running sandbox of that size, not a per-vCPU or per-GiB rate. Their unit is now usd_per_sandbox_second_vcpu_charge / usd_per_sandbox_second_ram_charge (vCPU and RAM kept apart, never blended); amounts, SKU, sourceUrl and asOf are unchanged, and the qualifiers say which per-unit row holds the true rate. The per-unit rows e2b-1-vcpu-usd-per-vcpu-second ($0.000014 per vCPU-second) and e2b-1-gib-memory-usd-per-gib-second ($0.0000045 per GiB-second) are unchanged and match the page's "Published usage rates". Row ids are kept for history continuity. Recorded as history run 2026-10-21.2 (catalog snapshot, 7 unit_changed events) and 7 reconfirmed entries in data/price-reviews.json.
• Temporal Cloud `pricingNotes` (seed, data/providers.json, providers.ts): the "Cloud Essentials from ~$100/mo" line is gone. Neither https://temporal.io/pricing nor https://docs.temporal.io/cloud/pricing mentions Essentials (both fetched 2026-10-21). The note now quotes what those pages say: Developer PAYG with no base fee and $50 per million Actions, Business at the greater of $500/mo or 10% of usage, storage meters, and the $150 credit. This matches the plan limits from 0.12.21.
• New gate: scripts/lib/unit-label.mjs flags any row with a per-vCPU, per-GiB, per-GB, per-core or per-GPU unit whose SKU names a size N > 1 and whose amount is exactly N × the same provider's 1-unit row. validate-data fails on it. check:data adds the catalog check, a fixture that catches the old E2B shape, E2B and Temporal regressions, and an HTTP check of /api/pricing?provider=e2b units.

0.12.23 — 2026-10-21 — Helicone lifecycle notice (maintenance mode)

No score, pick or catalog price row changed.

• data/provider-lifecycle.json adds a sourced notice for helicone (pick for cost-monitoring and llm-rate-limit-shield; runner-up for llm-tracing, agent-cloud-finops, llm-ai-gateway and llm-cost-anomaly-alerts). New status maintenance_mode, effective 2026-03-03, quoted from https://www.mintlify.com/blog/mintlify-acquires-helicone (fetched 2026-10-21, datePublished 2026-03-03): "Helicone will continue operating in maintenance mode—security updates, bug fixes, and new models will keep shipping. We'll work closely with every customer to support a smooth migration to another platform." A laterNotice quotes the banner now on https://www.helicone.ai/ and /pricing: "Helicone is no longer part of Mintlify. Details to come soon." (no date or detail given, so the status is not changed on it). Helicone's own letter (helicone.ai/blog/joining-mintlify) returned HTTP 500 on 2026-10-21 and is not quoted. No shutdown date or successor is stated.
• All six roles are pending_owner_review; no pick, runner-up list or score is changed and no approval is recorded.
• GET /api/check and the MCP check tool gain the flag maintenance_mode (warning only, not in the default failOn; failOn=maintenance_mode makes it fail). detail.lifecycle carries laterNotice when present.
• /api/answer warnings for a maintenance-mode pick now read "is in maintenance mode (no new features; since …)" and quote the later notice. /api/score-review lifecycleReview lists the six Helicone roles.
• Flag lists updated in openapi.yaml, agents.md, llms-full.txt, skills/depot-hub/SKILL.md, the depot-check action and the JS client types. check:data gains 10 checks (7 unit, 3 HTTP).

0.12.22 — 2026-10-21 — E2B plan limits

No score, pick or catalog price row changed.

• data/limits.json adds sourced E2B plans, quoted from https://e2b.dev/pricing (fetched 2026-10-21): Hobby — $0 monthly plan fee, one-time $100 usage credit (quoted, not applied), up to 20 concurrent sandboxes, sessions up to 1 hour; Pro — $150/month plus usage, 100 concurrent, sessions up to 24 hours, custom CPU and RAM; Pro+ — $650/month (Pro + 600-concurrency add-on, "+$500/mo"); Pro++ — $1,150/month (Pro + 1,100-concurrency add-on, "+$1,000/mo"). Usage on every plan: vCPU $0.000014 per vCPU-second and RAM $0.0000045 per GiB-second; storage free. Enterprise (custom, $3,000 monthly minimum) is not listed; the page's interactive estimator is not encoded.
• New metrics e2b_vcpu_seconds and e2b_ram_gib_seconds (E2B's own per-second units, separate meters, never converted to hours or blended; aliases vcpu_seconds=, ram_gib_seconds=), plus plan limits e2b_concurrent_sandboxes and e2b_session_hours_max (no overage: above a plan's limit that plan is not costed). agent-sandbox, code-interpreter and desktop-computer-use default to e2b_vcpu_seconds.
• parseWorkload now accepts metric names containing digits (e2b_…); every existing metric parses as before.
• check:limits reproduces the page calculator's default rendering (2 vCPUs, 4 GiB, 1,000 run hours: "Usage Cost $166 … Total Monthly $316"): 7.2M vCPU-s = $100.80 + 14.4M GiB-s = $64.80 = $165.60 on Hobby, $315.60 on Pro; plus 50 concurrent → Pro, 700 concurrent → Pro++ $1,315.60, 2-hour sessions → Pro, 48-hour sessions → null (Enterprise only), and POST /api/stack/cost E2B Pro = $315.60.

0.12.21 — 2026-10-21 — Temporal Cloud plan limits

No score, pick or catalog price row changed.

• data/limits.json adds sourced Temporal Cloud plans, quoted from https://docs.temporal.io/cloud/pricing (the pricing page https://temporal.io/pricing points there; both fetched 2026-10-21): Developer (Pay-As-You-Go) — no base fee, no allocation, $50 per million Actions at every volume, Active Storage $0.042/GBh, Retained Storage $0.00105/GBh, plan fee the greater of $0 or 10% of consumption; Business — greater of $500/month or 10% of consumption, includes 2.5M Actions, 2.5 GB Active (1,860 GBh) and 100 GB Retained (74,400 GBh) storage via the docs' 744 GBh-per-GB rule, then graduated Actions on the excess: first 5M $50, next 5M $45, next 10M $40, next 30M $35, next 50M $30, next 100M $25 per million; over 200M is Contact Sales and is not costed. Enterprise and Mission Critical (priced annually) are not listed; credits, commitments, SCIM add-on, HA 2x, Fairness and Provisioned Capacity are notes, not applied.
• New metrics temporal_actions, temporal_active_storage_gbh, temporal_retained_storage_gbh (alias actions=); storage stays in GB-hours, active and retained never blended. durable-agent-workflows and hitl-approval-workflows default to temporal_actions.
• Schema: optional planFeePercentOfUsage on a plan (fee = greater of baseUsdPerMonth or pct × metered usage, not added on top) and overageBeyondTiersReason on a tiered meter (last band may be capped; above it the plan is null with exceeds_published_tiers_and_<reason>). Both are honoured by /api/estimate and POST /api/stack/cost; every other plan is unchanged.
• check:limits covers the docs' worked examples: 10k Actions on Developer = $0.50 + 10% = $0.55; 11.25M Actions over the Business allocation = $250 + $225 + $50 = $525 (13.75M total → Business $1,025, Developer $756.25); 720 GBh Active + 3,600 GBh Retained over the allocation = $30.24 + $3.78 = $34.02; Business fee on $6,000 usage = $600; plus the 200M band edge ($6,517.50) and the Contact Sales cutoff.

0.12.20 — 2026-10-21 — No store path evicts (Watchdog finding #8 finished)

No score, pick or catalog price row changed.

• Upstash path. appendRecord in src/lib/submissionStore.ts no longer runs LPUSH then LTRIM (which evicted the oldest real records). It sends one atomic EVAL (APPEND_IF_BELOW_CAP_LUA: if LLEN >= cap return 0, else LPUSH and return 1) and throws StoreFullError(collection, cap) on 0. Caps: 2,000 (MAX_LIST) per collection, 5,000 for outcome-receipts (LIST_CAPS, matching the file cap); listRecords reads up to the collection's cap.
• Outcome receipts (file). cur.slice(0, 5000) is gone: at 5,000 receipts (MAX_FILE_RECEIPTS) a new one is refused with StoreFullError. POST /api/outcomes/receipts answers 507 store_full; /batch answers 507 when nothing was stored yet, otherwise marks the remaining items status: 507, code: store_full.
• Coverage requests. The uncovered-query log now runs under withFileLock + writeJsonAtomic (it was unlocked sync writes) and stops at 5,000 (MAX_COVERAGE_REQUESTS) with {logged:false, reason:"store_full"} instead of evicting; the remote path maps StoreFullError the same way. It is best effort, so search/coverage/stack/answer responses are unaffected. Test-only override DEPOT_COVERAGE_REQUESTS_FILE.
• POST /api/benchmark/runs and POST /api/providers/claim also map StoreFullError to 507 store_full, so every write route answers a full store the same way. The storeFull() hint now covers file and Upstash stores.
• check:security gains v0.12.20 finding-8 checks: receipts refuse at the cap without evicting (unit + HTTP single and batch 507), coverage logging stops at the cap without evicting or throwing (unit + GET /api/coverage still 200), and the Upstash append (stubbed fetch, no network or credentials) is one EVAL with the right key and cap, 0 → StoreFullError, 1 → success, no LTRIM. The mock Upstash servers in check:security and check:store understand the EVAL script.

0.12.19 — 2026-10-21 — File-store lock and caps (Watchdog finding #8 fixed)

No score, pick or catalog price row changed.

• Lost writes. New src/lib/fileLock.ts: withFileLock(path, fn) serializes read-modify-write per file path inside the server process, and writeJsonAtomic writes via temp file + rename. The file-backend write paths in src/lib/insights.ts, src/lib/corrections.ts and src/lib/outcomeReceipts.ts use both; the Upstash path is unchanged.
• Storage flooding. Agent-submitted insights in the file store are capped at 2,000 (MAX_SUBMITTED_INSIGHTS) and pending corrections at 2,000 (MAX_PENDING_CORRECTIONS), both equal to MAX_LIST. Seed/curated insights never count and nothing is ever evicted: at the cap, POST /api/insights, POST /api/feedback and POST /api/corrections return 507 `store_full` (storeFull() in writeGuard.ts; 507 rather than 429 because the limit is store-wide, not per caller). Outcome receipts keep their 5,000-entry file cap; only the lock was added there. The Upstash LTRIM eviction noted in the finding is unchanged.
• Test-only env overrides DEPOT_INSIGHTS_FILE and DEPOT_CORRECTIONS_PENDING_FILE (defaults unchanged).
• check:security gains finding-8 checks on temp files: 20 parallel locked appends keep 20 records, 20 concurrent insight / correction / receipt writes keep all 20, the cap refuses without evicting (seeds kept), and the three routes answer 507 store_full at the cap.

0.12.18 — 2026-10-21 — Braintrust plan limits

No score, pick or catalog price row changed.

• data/limits.json adds sourced Braintrust Starter ($0: 1 GB processed data then $4/GB, 10k scores then $2.50 per 1,000) and Pro ($249/month: 5 GB then $3/GB, 50k scores then $1.50 per 1,000), quoted from https://www.braintrust.dev/pricing (fetched 2026-10-21). New metrics braintrust_processed_gb and braintrust_scores keep Braintrust's own units; they are never blended with Langfuse units. Model credits, token rates and Pro retention beyond 30 days are noted, not metered; Enterprise (custom) is not listed.
• /api/estimate?jtbd=evals and ?jtbd=continuous-eval-ci now price the pick (for example 30k scores = Starter $50; 200k scores + 10 GB = Pro $489, Starter $511). check:limits covers these.

0.12.13 — 2026-10-21 — Unknown class answers point somewhere

No score, pick or price row changed.

• GET /api/kit?class= and GET /api/bundle?class= with an unknown class (Boat Owners and Verified Outcomes asked for web-app) still return 404, but the body now adds nearest (up to 5 agent classes, jobs or pack jobs by the same deterministic text match /api/search uses), nearestNote, coverage, searchInstead and requestCoverage. Nearest entries are labelled as not a kit and not a pick. When nothing matches, nearest is empty and says so rather than returning loose hits.

0.12.12 — 2026-10-21 — Pricing notes re-sourced

No score, pick or price row changed.

• 14 pricing notes re-sourced. These were free-text notes for groq, deepinfra, xai, baseten, minimax, zai and chutes that quoted an input/output price pair no stored row had. Each official pricing page was fetched on 2026-10-21.

- Figures the page still shows are now quoted with the model, the page and the date, and are labelled as not stored as rows. That covers DeepInfra DeepSeek-V4-Flash, xAI grok-build-0.1, Baseten GLM-5.3/5.2 and their Fast versions, and MiniMax M Plan. - Z.ai input, cached and output prices are written out in words. They match the stored rows. - Chutes Qwen3.8-27B, Kimi-K2.6 and Kimi-K3 figures were out of date and now point to the stored rows, which match the page. - Figures that couldn't be re-sourced were removed, and the note says so: the Groq Llama Guard 4 price, Baseten GLM 4.7 (no longer listed) and the closed MiniMax Token Plan.

• data/notes-review.json was regenerated and now has 0 items. npm run check:notes passes.
• The same 7 notes were synced into src/data/providers.ts, which the app serves at runtime, so the API now shows the re-sourced text. Only the pricingNotes field changed there.

0.12.11 — 2026-10-21 — Batch receipts, Countersign references, agent recipe

No score, pick or price changed.

• `POST /api/outcomes/receipts/batch` takes {receipts:[...]} (1–20) and answers each item separately, in order.

- Every item gets the same checks as the single endpoint, now shared in src/lib/receiptChecks.ts. An invalid item never blocks the valid ones. - If the deployment isn't accepting receipts, each valid item says so (status 503, valid: true) and nothing is stored.

• Countersign references. evidence.ref may be a claim id (cs-<hex>) or an https URL.

- It is stored exactly as claimed in evidence.countersignRef with status: claimed_not_checked and the label countersign_claim_referenced_unverified. It never counts as verified. - GET /api/outcomes/receipts/check?claim=cs-… re-checks it later, read-only, with cs cite when the ledger is reachable (otherwise checked:false with a reason). Stored labels and scores never change.

• Docs. The new endpoints are documented in /standard, llms.txt and openapi.yaml.
• New `/agent-recipe.md` (under 1.5 KB): four plain-HTTP curl steps (answer, actionable, stack cost, batch receipts).
• New probe: receipts-batch.

0.12.10 — 2026-10-21 — POST /api/stack/cost

No score, pick or price changed.

• `POST /api/stack/cost`: send {items:[{provider, plan, usage}]} (up to 40) and get each item's monthly list price, with the arithmetic, source URL, date and quote, plus totals per currency. Currencies are never converted or added together.

- An unknown provider, plan or meter comes back null with a reason, and so does usage past a cap that has no published overage. The response says plainly that real spend needs real invoices. It stores nothing. GET /api/stack/cost lists the providers and plans it covers. - Plans come from /api/limits plus a new data/stack-plans.json (Netlify credit plans, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages/Team, Hetzner in EUR, Plausible, Fathom, Umami, Turnstile, Friendly Captcha, hCaptcha, ALTCHA Cloud, GoatCounter), all sourced on 2026-10-21. - Netlify usage (production deploys, bandwidth GB, requests per 10k) is converted to credits at the page's own rates. Extra credits are counted in whole $5 packs of 500 and flagged as assumes auto recharge, which is off by default.

• Compact answers for unscored pack jobs now list up to 3 options, with a price where one is sourced.
• New probe: stack-cost.

0.12.9 — 2026-10-21 — Gap-fills from Vesper: bot vs human, analytics, 30 small sites, Gmail at volume

No score or pick changed. Everything here is in the unscored everyday-infra pack: each option has sourced, dated facts and no pick. Every page was fetched on 2026-10-21.

• New `bot-human-no-ip-store`: tell a person from a bot on a low-traffic private link without storing IPs.

- Options: Cloudflare Turnstile, Friendly Captcha, ALTCHA (MIT, self-hosted), hCaptcha, and Netlify firewall rules (shown for contrast). - Each has ipHandling (storesIp and processesIp, each true, false or null) quoted from its own privacy docs. - It's linked to a new failure mode, homemade-bot-filter-beaten-by-scanners, sourced to Microsoft Safe Links and Cloudflare's verified-bots definition.

• New `privacy-analytics-no-ip-store`: Plausible, Cloudflare Web Analytics, Fathom, Umami, GoatCounter and Netlify Web Analytics, each with ipHandling and its site limits. Fathom stores an IP on detected bot records. Umami's IP handling isn't stated (null).
• `static-site-hosting` gap-fill: adds Netlify (credit-based plans), GitHub Pages and Hetzner, and refreshes Cloudflare Pages and Vercel. Each has costAtScale for 30 sites (plan fee ÷ sites, with the arithmetic and caveats). Hetzner stays in EUR and isn't converted.
• New `client-email-at-volume`: Workspace sends 2,000 per user per day (1,500 for mail merge, 500 on trial), consumer Gmail 500. The Gmail API's messages.send costs 100 units against 6,000 units per user per minute. Above 5,000 a day to Gmail accounts the bulk-sender rules apply. Transactional rows are copied from /api/limits.
• Pack prices can now carry amount and currency for non-USD prices; amountUsd is then null with a reason. New probe: vesper-packs.

0.12.8 — 2026-10-21 — Compact answer, actionable block, subscription filters

No score, pick or price changed. From Vesper's feedback (Ethan's chief-of-staff agent).

• `GET /api/answer?…&format=compact` (and compact: true on the MCP answer tool): the whole response is at most 2 KB. Each job gives the pick, one runner-up, the pick's sourced price with its URL and date (or null with a reason), reversibility (free plan, cancellable), disclosure, autoActOk and the next call. Jobs that don't fit are counted in more. The new probe compact-answer checks the size across 20 sample queries, with and without policy params.
• `actionable` block on every answer part, with the full version at `GET /api/actionable?jtbd=`. It has priceVerifiedWithinDays, sourceUrl, terms (monthly, annual, usage, free or unknown, each with its source row), cancellable (true, false or null, only from a sourced quote), disclosure (Depot's own ties from the new data/disclosures.json, otherwise "none known") and autoActOk.

- autoActOk is computed from maxMonthly= and maxPriceAgeDays= (default 30). It's true only when every input is known and passes, false when a known input fails, and null when something is unknown. reasons lists each. - Few providers have a sourced cancellation quote yet (see data/provider-terms.json), so most picks come back null for now.

• Subscription-first filters: pricing=subscription and noUsageBilling=1 report whether the pick passes and name the first ranked runner-up that does. They never change the pick.
• `GET /api/disclosures`: the ties register (Signalry/Countersign, Vercel as Depot's planned host) and the terms register.

0.12.7 — 2026-10-21 — Retired Bing pick replaced (editorial)

No score changed; only the choice of pick did. Approved by Ethan in chat on 2026-10-21 at 04:05 ET ("Go replace it").

• enterprise-search: the Depot Pick is now brave-search (job-weighted 8.41), replacing bing-search (8.06). Brave was the highest-scoring runner-up and is live: its pricing ($5 per 1,000 Search requests, matching the stored row) and status page ("All services are online") were re-checked on 2026-10-21.
• Why: Microsoft retired the Bing Search APIs on 2025-08-11 (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/bing-search-api-retirement, page last updated 2025-05-16, re-checked 2026-10-21).
• bing-search is marked retired (status deprecated, tags sunset and retired) and removed from the serp-scrape and agent-search runner-up lists. Its record, scores and price history are kept. data/provider-lifecycle.json marks all three roles resolved with the approvalRef. The change is logged in data/corrections-log.json as editorial_pick_replacement.
• Text that recommended Bing (serp-scrape and agent-search whenNotTopPick, Serper's note, the agent-search SEO page) no longer names it.
• check-data-correctness asserts the new pick, that Bing is no job's pick or runner-up, that its stored score is untouched, the resolved lifecycle roles, the log entry, and the HTTP job endpoint.

0.12.6 — 2026-10-21 — Dogfood plan and dispute-readiness design (docs only)

No code, score, pick or price changed.

• research/DOGFOOD.md: how Ethan's own agents seed outcome receipts. They are labelled first-party (attestedBy buyer + x-first-party), never counted toward public minimum-n, and re-checked when they carry a Countersign claim. The year-1 metric is weekly returning agents.
• research/STRATEGY.md (separate commit): sections 11 to 15. Operating structure: Depot runs under Signalry as part of the Countersign bet, behind a neutrality firewall (evidence is weighted by a published spec, Countersign being one conforming implementation; the relationship is disclosed; Depot keeps its own brand and terms; partnerships are never a ranking input; it can still be spun out). Decided by the agent after Ethan delegated it in chat on 2026-10-21 at 03:53 ET; Ethan can reverse it. Also: the 10-year "Moody's plus Visa for agents" thesis, compounding layers, sequencing, and kill risks. Every market claim is marked as an assumption, with no figures. The phase-3 kill rule is kept, and the phase-1 kill/shrink rule is now explicit. The Countersign-only display-weight wording now refers to the published spec.
• research/DISPUTE-READINESS.md: Mediator's 8 phase-3 requirements mapped against what Depot has today (row ids, history run ids, attestation hashes) and what is missing (purchase receipts, terms snapshots, metering, refunds, mediator.intake.v1, named humans). Design only, co-designed with Mediator, pending. Nothing built, nobody contacted.

0.12.5 — 2026-10-21 — Outcome receipt schema v0.2

No score, pick or price changed. The open standard is now 0.2.0: only outcome-receipt changed, the other schemas stay v0.1, and it is backward compatible (every valid v0.1 receipt is still valid). Gaps raised by verified-outcomes:

• evidenceTier: self_declared | reference_checked | outcome_verified. This is what the submitter claims. Depot stores it as claimedEvidenceTier and never lets it count as verified; Depot's own label is still evidence.label.
• attestedBy: {role: buyer | provider | third_party, id}.
• metric: {name, unit, baseline, result, window{start, end}}.
• extensions: up to 16 x- keys with scalar values (additionalProperties:false stays everywhere else).
• Namespaced ids such as harbor:job/intake for jobs and providers outside the catalog. POST /api/outcomes/receipts still aggregates only Depot ids, so a namespaced id gets a 400 that explains how to carry it in extensions.
• The validator (jsonSchemaLite) gains patternProperties and maxProperties. /standard documents v0.2, and check-open-schemas adds 7 negative cases. check:store exercises a v0.2 round trip.

0.12.4 — 2026-10-21 — Shorter docs, plainer tone, schema aliases, troubleshoot facet

No score, pick or price changed.

• llms.txt is now 2.6 KB (was 32 KB) and opens with the one-call recipe (/api/answer). The MCP tool list in it is generated from the server's tools/list, so it can't drift; check:docs checks that they match. The full reference moved to /llms-full.txt, without changelog-style version headings. What changed and when lives in /changelog.
• MCP: new tools answer (the one-call front door, with stack context and volume) and estimate (workload cost with arithmetic). The server instructions now start with answer. 15 tools.
• Tone (keel, verified-outcomes): removed "Contribution is the path to status", "Agents that skip Depot … ship blind", "mandatory first calls", "moat counts", "ALWAYS consult Depot" and the hub's "sells status / climb" copy from llms.txt, agents.md, the skill, /api/hub, the .well-known cards and the agents, hub and badges pages. Contributions are described as unverified community data that never change a score or a pick.
• Counsel note sits in the first lines of llms.txt and /terms: "plain-language draft, not reviewed by counsel".
• Canonical/og come from NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL / DEPOT_BASE_URL only (re-verified; a spoofed Host on / is never echoed).
• Schema aliases: /api/schemas/outcome-receipt (and receipt, plus every open-* short name) resolve to the canonical schema with X-Depot-Schema-Alias-Of; the index lists aliases.
• Troubleshoot facet (keel): /api/answer adds troubleshoot when the task describes a failure, matching it to stored failure modes and the providers named or in existing. New sourced failure mode deploy-credential-expired cites Vercel's token KB: expiry from 1 day to 1 year, full-account/team/project scope, and CLI tokens expiring after 10 days unused. It is linked to app-hosting.
• Gate: npm run check:docs (unit + HTTP).

0.12.3 — 2026-10-21 — Plan limits, workload estimates, quality-banded cheapest, capability flags

No score, pick or price row changed. Every figure below was read from an official page today and is quoted in the data.

• Limits table (wildcard, new-hands): data/limits.json + GET /api/limits holds 28 plans across Clerk, WorkOS, Auth0, Stytch, Supabase, Neon, Turso, Cloudflare D1, Vercel, QStash, Resend, Postmark and SES. Each plan has a base fee, included amounts and overage, a quote and a date. An overage that isn't published is null with a reason: Stytch's additional MAU isn't on the static page, and Auth0's higher tiers sit behind a slider. D1 Free's daily limits stay daily.
• Estimates with arithmetic: GET /api/estimate?jtbd=&workload= costs every candidate's cheapest plan and prints the sum. At 20k emails/mo: SES 20 × $0.10 per 1000 = $2, Resend Pro 50k $20, and Postmark Basic $15 + 10 × $1.80 = $33 (Pro $29.50), with Postmark labelled upperBound because of its slider. A candidate with no sourced limits returns null with no_sourced_plan_limits. /api/quote?volume= adds volumeEstimate, and /api/answer?volume= adds a compact volumeCost per part.
• Quality-banded cheapest: /api/quote now has cheapestGoodEnough: the cheapest matching price among candidates whose editorial overall is within 0.5 of the Depot Pick. Cheaper candidates below the band are listed. Scores are read, not changed.
• Score date vs fact-check date: /api/quote → dates.scoreAsOf (when the editorial score was set) is separate from dates.priceVerifiedAsOf (the newest price fact-check). A fresh price check does not re-score.
• Conflicts: QStash's "retries are free" vs "each retry is counted" appears in /api/limits → conflicts and /api/quote → sourceConflicts, with the safe assumption "budget retries as billed".
• Capability flags: data/capabilities.json + GET /api/capabilities?flag= records MCP OAuth authorization server, Dynamic Client Registration and CIMD for Clerk, WorkOS, Stytch and Auth0, each quoted. Stytch CIMD is null (not stated). The mcp-oauth-authorization pack lists the four vendors and notes the MCP 2026-07-28 deprecation of DCR in favour of CIMD.
• Gate: npm run check:limits (unit + HTTP).

0.12.2 — 2026-10-21 — Data correctness: sourced rows, notes vs rows, lifecycle, check conditions

No score or stored pick changed. Every new figure was read from an official page today (data/price-reviews.json records each).

• New rows (29): OpenAI Moderation $0 (officially free: "The moderation endpoint is free to use"). Anthropic Haiku 5.5 from the docs pricing table: $0.10/$0.50 for prompts up to 100K tokens and $0.50/$2.50 above. The claude.com card shows $0.50/$2.50 next to "Prompts ≤ 100K", which conflicts, so this is flagged in the row qualifier; the reviewer's $0.50/$2.50 is the over-100K tier. Haiku 4.5 rows are marked lifecycle: legacy. Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite at $0.30/$2.50, plus Batch at $0.15/$1.25 (batch rows are not sort-eligible). Neon Free/Launch/Scale. Vercel Hobby/Pro, Active CPU, memory and invocations ("starting at", regional). Cloudflare D1 rows read/written/storage. Postmark Free/Basic/Pro/Platform and overages. Amazon SES à la carte at $0.10/1k.
• Classifier/guardrail jobs no longer borrow chat-token prices: prompt-injection-firewall, runtime-llm-firewall and llm-ai-gateway now return no comparable unit with a reason (before, the cheapest was Groq gpt-oss-20b at $0.075/1M). content-moderation and llm-input-guardrails compare per-request classifier rows only, so OpenAI Moderation's $0 row is the cheapest.
• Notes vs rows: scripts/check-notes-vs-rows.mjs (inside validate-data) fails on any pricingNotes input/output pair that no stored row of that provider has. The OpenAI, Anthropic and Google notes were rewritten from today's pages: the OpenAI note said GPT-5.6 $5/$30, and the Anthropic note said Opus ~$5/$25 while the row had $4/$20. 14 older pairs at 7 providers are listed in data/notes-review.json as needs_human_review and are shown as pricing.notesCheck: contradicts_rows.
• Free tiers (new-hands): Neon Free, Resend Free, Postmark Free, Vercel Hobby, D1 on Workers Free and QStash Free, under new kinds free_database, free_email, free_hosting and free_queue.
• Per-job failure modes: two new sourced modes lead the email jobs. email-auth-misconfigured cites Google's sender guidelines: SPF/DKIM, PTR, TLS, spam rate under 0.3%, and extra rules above 5,000 a day. send-quota-sandbox covers the SES sandbox (200 messages per 24h, 1/s), Resend Free's 100/day and Postmark Free's 100/month. Job-specific failure modes now sort before ones inherited from an agent class.
• Lifecycle: Microsoft's lifecycle page says the Bing Search APIs were retired on 2025-08-11, and the stored source has returned 404 since 2026-10-19. data/provider-lifecycle.json records this. bing-search is the stored pick for enterprise-search and a runner-up for serp-scrape and agent-search. The pick is kept, listed under /api/score-review → lifecycleReview, and /api/answer warns about it.
• /api/check: an unknown provider is now status: unknown rather than failing; it still fails with failOn=unknown. The default failOn is deprecated,retired. New flags: retired, source_degraded (source non-200 for 48h or more), condition_failed and condition_unknown, driven by require=soc2,dpa,zdr against sourced records in data/provider-security.json (Resend, Neon, QStash so far). With no sourced record the result is unknown and is never assumed. not_listed_for_job fires only when the provider is listed for none of the named jobs. The depot-check CLI/Action prints ::warning:: annotations, and the JS and Python clients accept require.
• QStash: the retry conflict is re-confirmed in the page's own /pricing/qstash.md, which says both "retries are free" and "each retry is counted as an additional message".
• Gates: new npm run check:data (unit + HTTP) and npm run check:notes.

0.12.1 — 2026-10-21 — Honest no-match, one-call answers, stack context, unscored domain packs

No score, pick or price row changed. Built from the bots' reviews (verified-outcomes, boat-owners, chambers, new-hands, hotelie, permanent-capital, vixen, keel, wildcard, prepared-board, mediator).

• Matcher (`src/lib/matcher.ts`, `idf_clause_synonym_v2`): tasks are split into clauses; each is scored with IDF-weighted distinctive words plus curated synonyms (with unless guards). Every search hit and stack part carries matchStrength and confidence; parts below a minimum relevance are dropped. A clause is covered, partial (a pack job, no Depot Pick) or not_covered with "Depot doesn't cover X yet" and a nearest job labelled as a guess. Fixes: SQLite/D1/Turso/libSQL no longer map to Postgres; "security monitoring" no longer maps to MCP hosting (Smithery); "virus scan" no longer returns OCR; translation no longer returns web search or video; "oauth for my MCP server" no longer returns hosting; prefix matching only accepts ing/er/ed/ion/ation/ment suffixes (no rag→ragged).
• `GET /api/answer` (new, the documented default): one part per job, each ≤ 1 KB: pick, runnerUp, the pick's own sourced price or null with priceReason, free option, why, tie:true + decidingFactor within 0.1, keep when existing= already names the pick or a ranked runner-up, contextAlternative from the job's stored whenNotTopPick (e.g. Vercel for host=vercel + framework=nextjs on app hosting), provenance {scoredBy:"Agent Depo", recheck:/api/check…}. runnerUpOutscoresPick is flagged honestly.
• Runner-up review: scripts/runner-up-review.mjs → data/runner-up-review.json: 73 jobs whose stored runner-up overall is higher than the pick's. Each is a needs_human_review entry (no score changed), shown in /api/score-review → runnerUpReview and on answer parts.
• Stack context: /api/stack and /api/answer take host, framework, repo, lang, existing, volume, sender (also detected from the task text). Advice only; picks unchanged.
• Coverage: /api/coverage?q= adds per-clause coverage and logs unmatched distinctive words privacy-safely (normalized terms only; no full query, IP or identity) to GET /api/coverage/requests. ?domain= returns a pack or JTBD category. The map and totals are unchanged.
• Packs (`GET /api/packs`, all `status: partial`, pick always null): everyday infra (static hosting, cron, DNS, mailbox send as drafts, translation incl. DeepL, malware scan with ClamAV, RFC 3161 timestamping, uptime monitoring, MCP OAuth, RFC 9309 crawling, Vercel deploy troubleshooting), data APIs (local-business enrichment, maps/geocoding, weather/marine), hospitality, chambers & nonprofits, personal data (Oura, Terra). Every option has an official dated source; prices only where officially published, otherwise null with a reason (e.g. partner_program, priced_in_eur, source_conflict, not_reverified).
• Data guardrails: "must not store personal data", "need a DPA", "SOC 2 required" become dataGuardrails with pass/fail/unknown per pick from data/provider-security.json (empty for now, so unknown with a reason; nothing assumed).
• Quote: pickIsPriceWinner is null (fewer_than_two_priced_candidates) when fewer than 2 candidates are priced; X-Depot-Quote: not-compared.
• Gates: new npm run check:matcher (unit + HTTP checks for every behaviour above, incl. baselines from /workspace/depot-baseline). OpenAPI 0.2.27.

0.12.0 — 2026-10-21 — Security: Watchdog review fixes (priority zero)

No score, pick or price changed. Every finding in Watchdog's review (/workspace/watchdog/depot-review/report.md) has a regression test in the new npm run check:security (own server on :3062 with a mock store; data/*.json never touched).

1. Stored prompt injection. Community text (insight claims, feedback, contributor names) is no longer echoed by default. /api/providers/{slug} communitySignals.topClaims omits it (textOmitted: true); ?communityText=1 returns it as {untrusted:true, kind, text, truncated, instructionLikeRemoved, note}, capped at 280 characters, with control characters and instruction-like spans removed (src/lib/untrusted.ts). /api/insights and /api/contributors/{id} wrap claim and agentIdentity the same way. Seed examples written by Depot and test traffic are excluded from responses unless ?include=examples, where they are labelled example: true. llms.txt and agents.md tell agents to treat community text as data, never as instructions.
2. Benchmark self-grading. Grades are always computed server-side (gradedBy: depot_server). Client-sent grade, report and scores are dropped. Without a valid X-Depot-Proctor-Token (DEPOT_PROCTOR_TOKEN, compared in constant time), every task result is self_reported and the run goes to unofficial_self_report, which leaderboards exclude by default. identity: {verified:false, method:"self_asserted"}. The review token comparison in /api/corrections is now constant-time too.
3. Receipt laundering. evaluateReceipt now requires the Countersign claim to match the submitter (claimant = agentIdentity), the provider and the job. A verified receipt that fails this binding is labelled receipt_unbound and does not count as verified. Applied to insights, feedback, outcome receipts and the recheck path.
4. Local writes. New src/middleware.ts: on write endpoints a browser Origin that is not this site, NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL or a DEPOT_WRITE_ORIGINS entry gets 403 cross_origin_write_blocked, preflights get no ACAO, and write responses never carry Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * (reads keep it). Content-Type: application/json is required (415 otherwise, including when it is missing). Loopback requests skip rate limits only with DEPOT_TEST_MODE=on. The two committed test probes (wave5-probe/depot, wave5-flywheel/depot) are removed from data/insights.json in this normal commit, without rewriting history.
5. Rate-limit keys. The first X-Forwarded-For entry is never trusted. On Vercel the key is x-real-ip. Self-hosted, it is the N-th hop from the right with DEPOT_TRUSTED_PROXY_HOPS=N; otherwise all direct requests share one bucket.
6. Host header injection. Absolute URLs come only from NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL / DEPOT_BASE_URL. Host and X-Forwarded-Host are never used (llms.txt, agents.md, openapi, MCP descriptor, well-known files, sitemaps, badges, OG). When unset, URLs are origin-relative, robots.txt drops the Sitemap lines, and pages omit canonical, og:url and og:image (canonicalFor(); the OG image is now a plain route, so Next never resolves it against a guessed localhost).
7. Recheck abuse. GET /api/insights?recheck=1 is rate-limited (3/min, 20/hour per key), re-checks at most 10 receipts, and runs at most 2 cs subprocesses at a time.

• Also: /api/health gains instance {kind: local|preview|production, note, testMode}, and baseUrl is null when unset. A self-hosted production instance (non-loopback NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL) defaults writes off unless DEPOT_WRITES=on. Fixed the lint error in src/lib/feedSignature.mjs. Removed "Agents that skip Depot … ship blind" from the site description and llms.txt header. smoke.sh, check-agent-native and check-store were updated for relative URLs and the new receipt binding.

0.11.1 — 2026-10-21 — History chain heads timestamped in Bitcoin (OpenTimestamps)

No score, pick or price changed, and no attestation was edited. Approved by Ethan in chat on 2026-10-21 at 01:52 ET, answering a card: "Yes, publish the daily history fingerprints to OpenTimestamps" (approvalRef in research/STRATEGY.md and on /methodology#attestations). Nothing else is published.

• Stamping: scripts/lib/ots.mjs + scripts/ots/ots_digest.py (opentimestamps-client 0.7.2) stamp each attestation's entryHash on the free public OpenTimestamps calendars. Only that 32-byte hash is used; a random 16-byte nonce is appended and hashed locally, so each calendar receives 32 bytes and never any data or file. Proofs are written exclusively (never overwritten) to data/history/ots/<attestationId>.ots, with attestationId = 4-digit seq + first 16 hex of entryHash.
• Upgrade: pending proofs are run through ots upgrade on a copy; the upgraded proof replaces the old one only if it keeps the same digest and every attestation the old one had (append-only). data/history/ots/index.json records pending/confirmed, plus block height, block hash and block time once confirmed (header merkle root cross-checked against a public block explorer, labelled as such).
• Unattended: check:sources and history.mjs run otsDaily() after attesting: stamp new heads, then upgrade. A calendar outage or a missing client only warns; the run does not fail, the attempt is logged in pendingStamps, and the next run retries. npm run ots [-- --stamp-all | --upgrade | --verify] does it by hand.
• Stamped now: all 8 existing entries (seq 0 to 7, including the current head b67e9d0f2b6939e1…), pending Bitcoin confirmation. They are all git_backfill entries and are labelled stampBasis: stamped_later: OTS proves they existed by 2026-10-21, not at their earlier git commit times.
• API and docs: /api/history/attestations carries ots on every entry and the head (status, block, download, verify command) and a top-level ots summary. New GET /api/history/attestations/ots/{attestationId}.ots serves the proof. /methodology#attestations gains a how-to-verify section (ots verify -d <entryHash> <file>.ots). OpenAPI 0.2.26, llms.txt, agents.md, README.
• Gates: validate-data and check-history-append-only fail when an attestation since the first stamped one has no proof of its own entryHash (tolerated for 48 h only while a failed stamp is retried), a proof or index record is removed or altered, a confirmed proof reverts, an upgrade drops an attestation, or a backfilled entry is not labelled stamped_later. New Countersign probe scripts/probes/ots.mjs; smoke checks for the status, the download and a 404.

0.11.0 — 2026-10-20 — Clearinghouse foundations: attested history, open schema, outcome receipts, provider claims

No score, pick or price changed. Nothing new is accepted in production yet: the write paths below stay 503 until the deployment has a store.

• Strategy: research/STRATEGY.md covers five moat layers (attested history, give-to-get receipts, distribution, provider participation, the open standard) and why each resists copying. It sets out phases with entry and exit criteria, flywheels, threats with a counter for each, a neutrality and governance charter (no pay-for-rank, ever), the monetisation order, and 30/90/365-day plans with the Ethan-only steps listed separately. It contains no invented market numbers; assumptions are marked.
• History attestations: data/history/attestations.json is an append-only sha256 hash chain over the canonical JSON (RFC 8785 JCS rules) of price-history.json, check-runs.json and page-status.json. Each entry carries files, dataHash, prevHash and entryHash. It was backfilled honestly from the 9 git commits that touched the history: 8 entries, with one commit skipped because its canonical content was identical to the previous one. Each backfill entry is dated with its commit time (atBasis: git_commit_time, which git records but nobody notarises). check:sources and history.mjs now attest every run (kind run) unattended, and npm run attest [--verify] does it by hand. Served at GET /api/history/attestations (the server recomputes the chain on each request), with a verification how-to at /methodology#attestations. validate-data (and check-history-append-only) now fail on a broken chain, an altered or removed entry compared with git, or history that changed without a new attestation.
• Depot Open Pricing & Outcome Schema v0.1 (MIT): six JSON Schemas under schemas/open/ (price-row, price-observation, price-event, outcome-receipt, provider-price-feed, provider-well-known). Docs are at /standard, and the schemas are served as open-* via /api/schemas. scripts/check-open-schemas.mjs, also run inside validate-data, validates every current pricing row, every history segment and every event against them, verifies the example feed's Ed25519 signature, and checks that negative cases are rejected. check:licenses now covers schemas/open as a fourth MIT surface. All examples are illustrative (example-provider, example.com); the dataset stays all rights reserved.
• Give-to-get outcome receipts: POST /api/outcomes/receipts takes open-schema outcome receipts (agent, jtbd, provider, observedAt, success, cost with unit, latency, evidence ref or a Countersign cs cite block, which Depot re-checks). Unknown fields are rejected. Limits: 8 KB cap, 10 a minute and 100 an hour per IP. A receipt is stored only when DEPOT_WRITES=on and a store is configured, and stays 503 on Vercel without a store. A stored receipt returns a contributor key (HMAC under DEPOT_CONTRIBUTOR_SECRET). GET /api/outcomes/aggregate shows coarse counts without a key. With a key it shows, per job × provider, the success rate with a Wilson 95% interval, outcome counts, and cost (per unit) and latency (per metric) distributions, only when n ≥ 5 from ≥ 2 contributors and with at most 20 receipts per contributor. Aggregates are labelled observed self-reports and never touch scores. There are no seed receipts. check:store tests all of this against the Upstash mock and a temp file store.
• Provider program: research/PROVIDER-PROGRAM.md, /providers/claim and GET/POST /api/providers/claim. The flow is start → DNS TXT _depot-verify.<domain> or /.well-known/depot-provider.json → verify → Ed25519-signed feed. Keys are fetched from the domain, sequence prevents replays, and every price is cross-checked against its public page. Matching prices are queued for a reviewed re-price; the catalog is never edited automatically. Only catalog-known hosts of that provider can be claimed (shared hosts are excluded). The endpoint is disabled (503) until there is a remote store, DEPOT_WRITES=on and a claim secret. Claiming never affects rank.
• Docs: llms.txt, agents.md and OpenAPI (0.2.25) list the new endpoints. New env vars, documented in .env.example and LAUNCH.md: DEPOT_CONTRIBUTOR_SECRET, DEPOT_CLAIM_SECRET, DEPOT_RECEIPTS_FILE. CORS allows the X-Depot-Contributor-Key header.

0.10.7 — 2026-10-20 — Re-priced from official pages; Moonshot read statically

No score or pick changed. Re-checked today with a headless render.

• Verda, 5 rows re-priced (GPU instances → On-demand, USD, 1x GPU per hour): B200 8.069 → 8.109, H200 5.658 → 5.715, H100 4.339 → 4.382, A100 80GB 2.066 → 2.076, L40S 1.773 → 1.791. The same page's Serverless containers table has different prices and was not used.
• DeepInfra dedicated GPUs, 5 rows re-priced (table "Deploy GPU Memory Price", one variant per GPU, unit "/ GPU-hour"): A100 0.89 → 1.49, H100 2.2 → 2.9, H200 2.69 → 3.49, B200 3.69 → 4.89, B300 4.89 → 5.89. These rows are no longer unverified. The provider's dated pricingNotes line was updated to match, in the seed, data/providers.json and providers.ts.
• OpenAI gpt-6-luna long-context, 2 rows: still unverified, with no price added.
• Moonshot, 14 rows: source switched from platform.kimi.ai/docs/pricing/chat.md, whose tables are now empty, to platform.kimi.ai/docs/pricing/chat. This recorded 14 source_url_changed events. scripts/lib/observe.mjs gains a mdx_doc_table_cell rung. It reads the compiled-MDX DocTable from the served HTML statically, with no JavaScript or browser, so the unattended daily check can read it. A cell counts only when the column title names the row's unit, the Unit column says "1M tokens", the Model cell is the SKU, and every copy of the table agrees. The check now reconfirms 12 Moonshot rows. The 2 cache-write rows are amount_only, because the SKU suffix is not page text, but their observed amounts are read from the table.
• History: run 2026-10-20.3 is a catalog snapshot with 10 amount_changed and 14 source_url_changed events. Run 2026-10-20.4 is a full source check: 18 not found (all reviewed), 0 observed amounts differing from the catalog, and an empty pendingReprice list. source_price_changed events now carry previousObservedBasis. Run 2026-10-20.4 logged five DeepInfra events whose "from" values are implied_by_reconfirmed_status, the older amount-anywhere rule, so they may reflect false matches rather than real page prices.
• Countersign: scripts/probes/history-runs.mjs is a decay-resistant invariant: at least 3 runs, unique runIds, observedAt strictly increasing, and both 2026-10-20 runs kept.

0.10.6 — 2026-10-20 — History kept per run; not-found rows reviewed

No score or pick changed, and no catalog amount changed. Seven rows are now marked unverified (listed below).

• Every run is its own observation. data/history/ is now format v2. Each run of check:sources, and each history.mjs --catalog snapshot, gets a runId (YYYY-MM-DD.N) and an observedAt (ISO time with the America/New_York offset) in check-runs.json. A second run on the same day is appended as a new run. It no longer replaces that day's earlier run. Segments carry fromRun/toRun, and events carry runId/observedAt. Ingesting the same run twice, or a run with an earlier observedAt, is refused. /api/history?runs=1 returns the runs plus days summarised from them, and /api/history/{rowId} lists observationRuns. check:sources now dates runs in America/New_York; it used UTC before.
• The 2026-10-20 morning run is restored. scripts/migrations/history-v2.mjs rebuilt the history from git 7ee94d2: run 2026-10-19.1, then run 2026-10-20.1 at 08:53:42 -04:00. It then replayed the afternoon run from 4122fc5 as run 2026-10-20.2 at 15:09:29 -04:00. Both 2026-10-20 runs are now in the record. For example, the 14 Moonshot rows were reconfirmed in the morning and not found in the afternoon. The five Verda source_price_changed events are unchanged. Known gap: on 2026-10-19, several development re-runs replaced each other before this fix. Only the last one is in the record; the others exist only in git (5f48352..2d9d3ff).
• The append-only gate is stricter. scripts/check-history-append-only.mjs fails on any change to an existing run, segment or event, including a same-day replacement. The only allowed change to old data is extending the open end of a series into a new run. It also checks page-status.json, and it has a one-time v1 → v2 migration mode that proves every v1 observation and event is still covered.
• Observed amounts are read more strictly. A text-only observation (catalog_amount_next_to_sku) now needs the catalog amount within 120 characters after the SKU name. The old rule only needed the amount and the SKU anywhere on the page, and it matched DeepInfra GPU rows against model prices elsewhere on the page. Records made under the old rule stay as written.
• Manual price reviews (21, all `headless_render`):

- Moonshot, 14 rows: reconfirmed, amounts unchanged. platform.kimi.ai/docs/pricing/chat.md now exports its price tables as empty shells. The HTML page renders them client-side. A headless render shows K3 at $3.00 input, $15.00 output, $0.30 cached, $3.00 for a 5-minute cache write and $6.00 for a 1-hour write. K2.7-code is $0.19/$0.95/$4.00, K2.7-code-highspeed is $0.38/$1.90/$8.00 and K2.6 is $0.16/$0.95/$4.00. The prices were not dropped or moved. The static check will keep reporting them as not found until the source URL is switched, which is a reviewed change. - DeepInfra dedicated GPUs, 5 rows: unverified. The page now lists A100 $1.49, H100 $2.90, H200 $3.49, B200 $4.89 and B300 $5.89 per GPU-hour. None of the stored amounts (0.89, 2.2, 2.69, 3.69, 4.89) appear for their GPU. Three of these rows had been "reconfirmed" by false matches. Each review records what the page now shows (observedOnPage). Re-pricing is pending review; the old amounts are kept. - OpenAI gpt-6-luna long-context input and output, 2 rows: unverified. The page no longer has a long-context tier for this model. The long-input row's $0.20 had matched the Fast tier price. - scripts/probes/not-found.mjs now passes: 51 not found, all reviewed.

0.10.5 — 2026-10-20 — Price history records what the official page shows

No pick, score or catalog price changed. data/history/price-history.json is now a longitudinal record of two series per pricing row: catalog (what Depot stores) and observed (what the official source page stated for that SKU, in that unit, on that run).

• Observed amounts: scripts/lib/observe.mjs (pure, no network) reads an amount only when it is unambiguous. That means an exact raw API field, a schema.org Offer named for the SKU in the row's own unit (hour or month; a 1x GPU instance hour is the GPU hour) that the visible page text backs up, or the exact catalog amount with the SKU name on the page. Anything else, including offers that disagree or conflict with a text match, stays observed: null. Units are never converted or blended. check:sources writes observed/observedBasis (and evidence where it adds information) per row to data/source-checks.json.
• Events: source_price_changed (date, rowId, providerId, from, to, unit, sourceUrl, evidence, fromBasis, catalogAmountUsd) fires when the observed amount differs from the row's previous observation. On a row's first observation it fires when the amount differs from the catalog. Same-day re-runs do not duplicate events.
• pendingReprice: data/history/pending-reprice.json is a derived view, rewritten each run, of rows whose latest observation differs from the catalog. Re-pricing stays a reviewed step: edit the row, then node scripts/history.mjs --catalog (an amount_changed event).
• Backfill 2026-10-20 (Verda): this re-ran check:sources for 2026-10-20 (a same-date re-run replaces that date's observation). verda.com/pricing states B200 8.109, H200 5.715, H100 4.382, A100 80GB 2.076 and L40S 1.791 USD per GPU-hour on-demand. Five source_price_changed events (previous observation 2026-10-19) and five pendingReprice rows were recorded. The Verda catalog rows are unchanged.
• API: new GET /api/history/{rowId}, a per-row timeline (catalogSeries, observedSeries, events, latestObserved, pendingReprice). /api/history index adds observationDays, sourcePriceChanges, pendingReprice and a methodology note. /api/price-changes adds kind= and pending=1. /changelog.json|rss|atom carry source price changes and catalog re-prices as price_change items. Methodology note is on /methodology#price-history.
• Append-only gate: scripts/check-history-append-only.mjs (run inside validate-data) fails when any past segment, event or check run differs from git HEAD. Only same-date re-runs and extensions of the last run are allowed. When the tree is clean it checks HEAD~1 → HEAD. check:agent-native and smoke.sh cover the new endpoints and the Verda events.

0.10.4 — 2026-10-19 — Split licensing + data terms

No data, pick, score or price changed. Ethan delegated the licence decision; the record, rationale and approvalRef are in research/LICENSE-DECISION.md.

• MIT (copyright 2026 Ethan Hawkes) on the adoption surfaces: clients/js ("license": "MIT", LICENSE added to files), clients/python (license = "MIT", license-files = ["LICENSE"], setuptools ≥ 77.0.3) and actions/depot-check. Badge/embed code lives in the app and is not a separate surface. Nothing is published.
• Root: LICENSE reserves all rights except for the MIT subdirectories; package.json is "license": "UNLICENSED", "private": true.
• Data terms: DATA-TERMS.md (plain-language draft, not reviewed by counsel) is served at /terms (HTML), /data-terms.md (raw), and /data-terms (308 → /terms). It is linked from llms.txt, agents.md, the OpenAPI info (termsOfService and license.url), the footer and sitemap-agents.xml.
• Gates: npm run check:licenses (new; also runs inside check:clients) checks for an MIT LICENSE and an MIT manifest field on each surface and a root that is UNLICENSED with all rights reserved. smoke.sh and check:agent-native check /terms, /data-terms.md and the links in the agent docs.
• LAUNCH.md no longer lists the licence as open. The BAR blocker list is updated (M4 still 4: npm/PyPI accounts, a public repo for the Action, publish).

0.10.3 — 2026-10-19 — Bar round 4

Docs only; no data, pick, score or price changed. research/BAR-2026-10-19.md gains round 4: C6 4 → 5 (every free tag under a capability rule), so C goes 56 → 57/65 and M stays 25/30. Every remaining gap below 5 is named with its blocker: Ethan (deploy, store + writes, hosted Countersign, licence + publishing, Search Console), owner review (6 score proposals; 96 stale pick scores without a proposal), time (≥ 30 daily price-watch runs), or data Depot will not fabricate (unit prices for 96 jobs).

0.10.2 — 2026-10-19 — Launch kit

No data, pick, score or price changed.

• LAUNCH.md rewritten against the official docs (checked 2026-10-19, links inline). The Vercel click paths are Add New… → Project → Import Git Repository, then Settings → Environment Variables / Domains / Build and Deployment, then Integrations → Browse Marketplace for Upstash. Node.js: 24.x default; 20.x is deprecated on Vercel since 2026-10-01 (the old checklist said 20.x). There is an env var table per environment, a Search Console + Bing checklist (a *.vercel.app URL is a public suffix, so it can't be a Domain property; use URL-prefix with the HTML tag), and the MCP Registry steps (mcp-publisher login github → mcp-publisher publish, verify via /v0.1/servers?search=).
• `npm run mcp:server-json -- --base https://<domain>` (scripts/make-server-json.mjs) writes mcp/server.json from the live /api/mcp/server.json. It checks the file against the official 2025-12-11 schema (required fields, lengths, name pattern, transport), https, an MCP initialize round trip, and version == /api/health. It never publishes. Shape: mcp/server.example.json.
• Optional verification tags: DEPOT_GOOGLE_SITE_VERIFICATION → <meta name="google-site-verification"> and DEPOT_BING_SITE_VERIFICATION → <meta name="msvalidate.01">. Each renders only when set.
• research/LICENSE-DECISION.md: MIT vs Apache-2.0 for the clients, written as a decision for the owner. The recommendation is MIT unless the stated Apache triggers apply. Nothing is set; the clients stay UNLICENSED.
• research/LAUNCH-POSTS.md: drafts for X, Show HN and LinkedIn, plus a directory table with submission URLs and fetch status (Futurepedia's form is gone; awesome-mcp-servers sends remote-only servers to awesome-remote-mcp-servers). Drafts only.
• LAUNCH.md and README: apply-score-review usage now shows the required --ref/--at.

0.10.1 — 2026-10-19 — Free-tag audit round 4: every tag under a capability rule

No pick, score or price changed. scripts/audit-free-tags.mjs grows from 8 rules over 70 of 267 tags to 50 rules over 257 of 257 tags (0 uncovered, 0 flags). A rule passes on the row's own kind (where it proves the capability, e.g. open_weights for open-model inference) or its own text. The audit also lists reviewed exceptions in allow (one: groq-docs on ultra-low-latency, a reference row for the job's pick).

• Mistags removed (10): cohere-trial-chat, openai-api-docs, anthropic-docs on coding-agent; jina-free-embeddings (an embedding API) on neural-search; mcp-python-sdk, chrome-devtools-mcp, github-mcp-server, playwright-mcp on mcp-discovery (an SDK and single servers are not discovery); github-mcp-server on mcp-server-hosting (one third-party server is not a hosting runtime); toucan-1-5m on evals (its card describes SFT training data).
• Retagged (2): google-ai-studio coding-agent → frontier-chat; wildchat evals → finetune (its card lists instruction-finetuning and no eval use; it had passed only through the phrase "not a scored leaderboard").
• Sourced notes added (official page, card or README fetched 2026-10-19) so kept tags are supported by the row's own text: gemini-api-free-tier-standard (3.8 Flash "long-horizon software engineering", 2.5 Pro "excels at coding"), promptfoo (red-teaming), gsm8k, mind2web, browsergym (benchmark/evaluation use), toucan-1-5m.
• 7 Gemini paid-tier rows that the static matcher marked not_found_on_page (amounts unchanged on the page) now have manual reconfirmed reviews. New invariant Countersign probes: scripts/probes/not-found.mjs (count optional) and scripts/probes/coverage.mjs (no unit mixing in any covered job).
• data/corrections-log.json: fix-0.10.1-free-tag-audit-round-4.

0.10.0 — 2026-10-19 — Pricing coverage 55 → 78 of 174 jobs

No pick, score or existing amount changed. 87 official unit-price rows added (pricing rows 827 → 914), each recorded in data/price-reviews.json with the page and what it showed.

• GPU-hour (9 jobs newly priced). Per-GPU-hour on-demand rows from the official pages: Lambda (8x tab), RunPod Pods (Secure and Community Cloud), Nebius, Crusoe, Salad (High and Lowest priority), Verda (1x), Massed Compute (x1), CoreWeave (GH200 1-GPU and inference single-GPU column), Oracle (GPU per hour). Multi-GPU instance prices were never divided; spot and market prices were not stored.
• Search, STT, image, video, inference. Brave Search API $5/1k requests; Serper Starter $1.00/1k (prepaid pack, larger packs noted, not compared); Deepgram pre-recorded Nova-3 $0.0043/min, multilingual $0.0052, Whisper Large $0.0048 (streaming promo has no end date, so not stored); AssemblyAI and Speechmatics per hour (not converted); BFL FLUX 3 Image per image; fal per-image models; Luma Ray3.2 per 5s video; Baseten Model APIs per 1M tokens.
• Four new job bases, one unit each, with fixtures in validate-data: object_storage (R2 $0.015, Tigris $0.02 per GB-month), pstn_minute (Twilio $0.014, Plivo $0.0115 per US outbound minute), sms (Twilio $0.0083 per segment; Plivo $0.0077 per SMS, not mixed), doc_pages (Reducto $10/1k pages; Unstructured $0.015/page used only when no per-1k row exists).
• Jobs with a non-null cheapestInput in /api/quote: 55 → 78. Still unpriced by design: vCPU-hour jobs whose pick bills per second (E2B, Modal), mixed-unit queue/secret/push/error jobs, and 86 jobs with no comparable unit.

0.9.2 — 2026-10-19 — not_found_on_page sweep: every remaining row reviewed

No pick, score or score value changed. not_found_on_page 42 → 11 in npm run check:sources (79 at the start of 0.9.1); each of the 11 has a manual review in data/price-reviews.json (10 unverified, 1 rendered-only reconfirmed).

• Chutes (rendered https://chutes.ai/pricing, 2026-10-19). Qwen3.8-27B-TEE $0.24 → $0.039 in, $2.20 → $1.25 out; Qwen3.6-27B-TEE $0.30 → $0.25 in (out $2.00 unchanged); Kimi-K2.6-TEE $0.50 → $0.45 in, $2.85 → $1.95 out; Kimi-K3-TEE $3.00 → $1.85 in, $15.00 → $9.50 out (per 1M tokens).
• MiniMax (official https://platform.minimax.io/docs/guides/pricing-paygo.md). The LLM table lists only MiniMax-M3.1-Flash and MiniMax-M3, so the 28 M2 / M2.1 / M2.5 / M2.7 rows are unverified (the static check had matched a footer link). The 2 ambiguous M3 rows are superseded by 10 new rows: M3.1-Flash $0.15 / $0.60 / $0.015 cache read; M3 standard ≤512k $0.30 / $1.20 / $0.06, >512k $0.60 / $2.40, priority ≤512k $0.45 / $1.80 (only standard ≤512k input is sortable).
• Resend. All rows now cite the official Markdown twin https://resend.com/pricing.md (linked from the page; the HTML table is a slider). 18 rows reconfirmed, no amount changed.
• Google. 7 Gemini rows reconfirmed from the rendered page. Gemini 3.8 Flash $0.75 / $3.75 now carry promo {endsOn: 2026-12-31, listAmountUsd: 1.50 / 7.50} so validate fails the day after it ends.
• Kimi, SambaNova, Cerebras and OpenRouter rows now pass the static check (0.9.1 parser fixes).
• validate-data now fails when PROJECT-STATUS.md catalog counts drift from the data (npm run check:status-counts).

0.9.1 — 2026-10-19 — Price-row corrections on review picks, manual price reviews, score-review approval provenance

No pick, score or score value changed. Price amounts changed only where the official page shows a different price today (sources below).

• Price corrections (official pages, 2026-10-19). ElevenLabs elevenlabs-tts-v4 $0.022 → $0.08 and elevenlabs-tts-v4-turbo $0.011 → $0.04 per 1K characters (the launch promo is no longer shown on https://elevenlabs.io/pricing/api; list price restored). Cloudflare cloudflare-workers-ai-cf-cloudflare-clef-flash-in $0.09 → $0.038 (https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/platform/pricing/). Logged in data/corrections-log.json.
• Unverified, not deleted. Six Amazon Bedrock Claude 3.5 Sonnet / v2 rows are not in the rendered Bedrock pricing table (the name appears only in unrendered template text that fooled the static check) and elevenlabs-scribe-entity-detection is no longer a column on the page: they carry sourceStatus: "unverified" + reason + date, are never ranked or used as "cheapest", and /api/check flags them price_not_on_page.
• New Bedrock rows from the rendered table (Global cross-region): Claude Sonnet 5.5 $2 / $10, Opus 5.5 $4 / $20, Haiku 5.5 $0.10 / $0.50 per 1M input / output tokens.
• Manual price reviews. data/price-reviews.json records rows re-checked by rendering the official page (headless Chrome), its official Markdown twin, or an official pricing API field, with result and reason; rowCheck prefers a newer manual review over a stale static miss. E2B Pro++ $1,000 / Enterprise $3,000 and ElevenLabs keyterm / speech-engine / burst rows reconfirmed.
• check:sources now reads comma-grouped amounts ("$1,000"), "0.60 USD", {"$"} / \$ escapes, and exact JSON API fields.
• Promo rule. Rows can carry promo {label, endsOn, listAmountUsd}; validate-data fails on an expired promo or an "N% off … until" qualifier without one.
• Score review provenance. The 24 applied reaffirm_asOf records carry approvalRef, approvedAt (ISO with zone), approvalChannel, approvedBy. apply-score-review refuses without --ref and --at; validate-data fails on an applied record without them; npm run test:score-review proves both (9 asserts). The 6 needs_human_review proposals remain pending. check:agent-native now asserts pending-or-approved-with-provenance, empty delta, and no score value different from the pre-review value.

0.9.0 — 2026-10-19 — CI gate, JS + Python clients, GitHub Action, programmatic long tail with real lastmod, free-tag audit

No pick, score, score asOf, price amount, quota or license changed. Moat round 3 in research/BAR-2026-10-19.md.

• CI gate. GET /api/check?providers=&jobs=&failOn= and MCP tool check: per-provider flags from stored data (unknown, deprecated, stale_score, unreachable_source, price_not_on_page, not_listed_for_job), ok false when a flag is in failOn (default unknown,deprecated).
• Clients. clients/js (zero deps, types, DepotError, depot-check CLI, package.json) and clients/python (stdlib only, typed, depot-check CLI, pyproject.toml). Not published; license field left for the owner (the repo has no LICENSE). npm run check:clients tests both live plus the Action script. Snippets in /api/hub → install.libraries.
• GitHub Action. actions/depot-check/action.yml (composite) + examples/github/depot-check.yml and depot.json (kept outside .github/workflows). Fails CI on an unknown or deprecated provider; exit 2 on a bad flag.
• Long tail. /for/{class}/{job} (96), /free/{job} (80, "run it free" vs reference docs/datasets), /cheapest/{job} (53, one unit, lowest first, firstSeen/lastChanged). Everything else 404s. Dated with the newest stored date shown; sitemap.xml now carries <lastmod> from those dates for the long tail and all 174 job pages. Linked from each job page.
• Free-tag audit. scripts/audit-free-tags.mjs: 8 capability rules over 70 of 267 free-row → job tags, 0 flags; validate-data fails on any flag. data/free-tag-audit.json, research/FREE-TAG-AUDIT-2026-10-19.md.
• Refusals gain no_thin_pages.

0.8.0 — 2026-10-19 — Outcome stats with n, contributors, claim/correct a listing, listing status, score review proposals

No pick, score, score asOf, price amount, quota or license changed. Moat round 2 in research/BAR-2026-10-19.md.

• Outcomes. GET /api/outcomes?jtbd=&provider=: submitted feedback only, explicit n, worked/degraded/failed, failure-mode counts, evidence tiers, verified receipts, contributors; rates null when n = 0. decide.communityFeedback.outcomes {job, pick}; job pages #outcomes (live). Never a score input.
• Provenance. Insights carry provenance (submitted | seed_editorial | test), contributorId, evidenceTier. The 23 ins-* insights bundled with the catalog are now labelled "seed example — written by Depot, not an outside report" on /insights and provider pages and are excluded from every count, as are sample/seed benchmark runs and probe traffic. Evidence tier = Countersign evidence_tier only when Depot's re-check verifies the receipt.
• Contributors. /contributors, /contributors/{ctr-id}, GET /api/contributors[?all=1], GET /api/contributors/{id}; stable ctr- ids (sha256 of the identity). Today: 0 submitted contributors.
• Claim / correct a listing. POST /api/corrections (schema correction-request) → 201 pending; stored in the submission store (corrections collection). Pending text is not republished. scripts/review-correction.mjs is the only way to approve/reject (writes data/correction-reviews.json and, on approve, the corrections log). Provider pages show "Correction pending" and a "Claim or correct this listing" link.
• Listing status. /providers/{id}/status + GET /api/providers/{id}/status: score asOf/stale, pricing rows with last re-check and history, failing source pages, jobs + badge URLs, corrections, outcome n, suggested actions.
• Score review (C3). scripts/score-review.mjs re-fetched 65 official pages (65 × 200) behind the top 30 picks → data/score-review-proposals.json, research/SCORE-REVIEW-PROPOSALS-2026-10-19.md, GET /api/score-review: 24 reaffirm_asOf (asOf only, score values unchanged), 6 needs_human_review (nothing proposed). All pending_owner_approval; none applied. npm run apply-score-review -- --approve <ids> (owner) aborts if any score value would change.
• Refusals gain no_unapproved_score_change; no_fake_social_proof now points at its enforcement. Tests: check:agent-native 201, check:store 24, smoke +9, validate-data checks proposals and reviews.

0.7.0 — 2026-10-19 — Price history, trust pages and feeds, one error envelope, failure modes per job

No pick, score, score asOf, price amount, quota or license changed. Moat rubric (M1–M6) + round 1 in research/BAR-2026-10-19.md.

• History (append-only). npm run check:sources now re-checks every priced row (801; --picks-only for the old scope) and appends each run to data/history/ (run log, per-SKU price series, per-page status series; run-length encoded, same-day re-runs replace that day). GET /api/history (?sku=, ?provider=, ?url=, ?runs=1), GET /api/price-changes?since=. firstSeen / lastChanged on quote SKUs, bundle price.cheapest and the job brief. Seeded from the 2026-10-19 re-check: 1 run, 0 changes — pre-history firstSeen is the stored row asOf (firstSeenBasis).
• Trust. /refusals + GET /api/refusals (15 rules with enforcing file, plus refusals recorded in data), /corrections + GET /api/corrections (5 historic corrections with before/after), /changelog.rss, /changelog.atom, /changelog.json (releases + corrections), methodology "How the record is kept", footer links.
• Badges. /badge/{jtbd}/{provider}.svg: pick / runner-up / listed (404 otherwise), dated, links back, no score. /api/badge ignores value= / label= (it used to render any number passed in); type=score reads a stored run. The static score sample no longer shows a number.
• Errors. Every JSON error carries depotError {code,message,hint,status,docs} + X-Depot-Error-Code; legacy error / errorCode kept. Unknown /api/* paths return a JSON 404.
• Compact bundle. One citeTemplate instead of a per-job cite (kept when skip or &cite=1), skip only when true: the 6-job vector task is 4,935 B in 2 calls.
• Failure modes per job. data/failure-job-rules.json (21 auditable rules quoting the failure definition) → data/failure-job-map.json (194 links): 168/174 jobs (was 87); the other 6 carry failuresReason. GET /api/failures?jtbd=, ?rules=1.
• Tests: check:agent-native 159 checks, smoke 70, validate-data checks failure-map drift and history dates.

0.6.0 — 2026-10-19 — Forwardable job briefs, same-job same-unit comparisons, MCP install + citation

No pick, score, price, quota or license changed. Rubric round 3 in research/BAR-2026-10-19.md.

• Job brief. /jtbds/{id}#brief (all 174 jobs): Depot Pick, runner-up (beatsPickOn), when not to use the pick, lock-in/migration, the pick's lowest sourced SKU and the cheapest matching SKU in the job's own unit (sourceUrl, asOf, re-checked date) or a reason, free rows that list the job, failure modes, a stale-score banner and a citation. Title "Best {job} for AI agents ({Mon YYYY}): {pick} vs {runner-up}"; the month comes from the newest stored date on the brief, and the score asOf is shown next to it. Canonical unchanged; WebPage JSON-LD with dateModified.
• Comparisons. /jtbds/{id}/vs/{provider} — 46 static pages, only where the pick and the other provider (first 3 ranked runners-up, or the cheapest matching SKU) both have a sourced price in the job's unit (src/lib/jobPairs.ts). Other pairs 404 (dynamicParams=false). Job-weighted scores side by side, lowest sourced SKU each (no blending), free rows, lock-in, when not to use. Listed in sitemap.xml and linked from the brief.
• Install + cite. src/lib/install.ts: Cursor, Claude Desktop (mcp-remote), Claude Code and VS Code snippets in GET /api/hub → install, /.well-known/mcp.json → install, /agents#install, llms.txt, agents.md, skill. hub.howToCite {text, example}. Registry metadata stays at /api/mcp/server.json.
• Tests: check:agent-native adds install, citation, brief, canonical, sitemap and unit-sharing assertions for every vs page.

0.5.0 — 2026-10-19 — Countersign receipts, env-gated submission store, feedback read-side

No pick, score, price, quota or license changed. Receipts and feedback never mutate scores. Rubric round 2 in research/BAR-2026-10-19.md.

• Receipts. POST /api/insights and POST /api/feedback take an optional receipt (the cs cite JSON, stored as-is; countersign key also accepted). Depot re-checks it with cs cite (DEPOT_COUNTERSIGN_CLI, box-local, read-only) and labels it (verified_receipt, receipt_mismatch, receipt_stale_unverified, not_rechecked_unverified, …). Only Depot's countsAsVerified counts; the poster's value is kept as postedCountsAsVerified. affects_scores: false always. GET /api/insights → meta.receipts; ?recheck=1 re-checks at render. /insights shows the label. Malformed receipts → 400 before any write.
• Storage adapter. src/lib/submissionStore.ts: DEPOT_STORE=file (default) or upstash (Upstash Redis REST / Vercel KV env names). Insights, feedback and benchmark runs persist on serverless when DEPOT_WRITES=on; default stays off → 503. /api/health → writes.store. Store outage degrades to bundled data. Vercel Blob not wired (needs an SDK). No account was created.
• Feedback read-side. decide.communityFeedback.pickOnThisJob: failed/degraded/worked counts, failure modes, verified-receipt count (claims only).
• Tests. npm run check:store (mock Upstash REST + spare port 3061; default-off, on, round-trip, serverless receipt label, box-local re-check, tampered digest, malformed receipt, scores unchanged, data/ untouched). check:agent-native adds receipt/feedback assertions.
• Docs: README (env table, receipts table), .env.example, LAUNCH.md §7 (how to switch writes on), OpenAPI CountersignReceipt, llms.txt, agents.md, skill.

0.4.0 — 2026-10-19 — Freshness everywhere, depth per job, quote null semantics, Whisper tag fix

No pick, score, score asOf, price amount, quota or license changed. Insights still never mutate scores. Rubric: research/BAR-2026-10-19.md (round 1).

• Freshness. Per-item ageDays + stale (policy staleAfterDays: score 30, price 30, free 45) on decide, bundle (compact pickAgeDays/pickStale), kit, quote SKUs, /api/jtbds/{id}; hub freshness summary; new GET /api/freshness (stalest picks, unreachable source pages) and MCP tool freshness; schema freshness.
• Source re-check. scripts/check-sources.mjs → data/source-checks.json (2026-10-19): 298 official URLs behind the 126 picks, 285 × 200. 319/549 pick pricing rows reconfirmed (amount + SKU name on page) → verifiedAsOf. Never edits amounts or scores.
• Depth. depth.whenNotToUse, depth.runnerUp (beatsPickOn), depth.lockIn (migration or migrationReason) on decide, bundle (compact runnerUpId) and /api/jtbds/{id} — copied or derived from stored data only.
• Quote. pickIsPriceWinner is null with priceWinnerReason when nothing was compared (was false + "Pick is not a price winner"). Every branch has a reason code.
• Data. cloudflare-workers-ai-whisper no longer lists speech-synthesis (Whisper is STT); TTS models from the same source page are a new row cloudflare-workers-ai-tts. Validator guards it. Free rows may carry a later re-check asOf.
• HTTP. Weak ETag on every JSON response; If-None-Match → 304 on all GET routes that take a request.
• Citation. decide.citation (text, markdown, fields, howToCite) with absolute URLs.

0.3.0 — 2026-10-19 — Launch readiness (repo, base URL, write guards, Vercel, SEO)

No scores, picks, prices, quotas, or licenses changed. Insights still never mutate scores.

• Canonical base URL. Every absolute URL comes from NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL (alias DEPOT_BASE_URL), falling back to the request host: llms.txt, agents.md, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, sitemap-agents.xml, OpenAPI servers, /.well-known/{agent,ai-plugin,mcp}.json, canonical + OG tags, kit firstActions, /api/hub baseUrl, attract sample curls, and /agents + /benchmark/submit examples. No 127.0.0.1/localhost in public output. Templates moved from public/ to src/agent-docs/ and are bundled at build time.
• Write endpoints hardened. POST /api/insights, POST /api/feedback, POST /api/benchmark/runs: per-IP rate limits, body caps (16 KB / 8 KB / 256 KB), JSON-object + field-length validation, honeypot field, DEPOT_WRITES gate (direct loopback requests skip rate limits; DEPOT_RATE_LIMIT_LOCAL=on re-enables them). Read-only filesystem (Vercel) → 503 submissions_closed, never a crash. Reads no longer write seed files. POST /api/mcp: rate limit, 64 KB cap, batch ≤ 20.
• Vercel readiness. outputFileTracingIncludes ships data/, research/, content/, CHANGELOG.md with every function. Security headers (CSP-lite, nosniff, Referrer-Policy, X-Frame-Options, Permissions-Policy). API GET cache: public, max-age=60, s-maxage=300, stale-while-revalidate=600. /api/health reports version, commit, base URL, write status, counts.
• SEO. robots.txt with absolute sitemaps, new /sitemap.xml (human pages), 404 page, site-wide OG image, metadataBase, titles/descriptions/canonicals on main routes, homepage "For agents" CTA → /llms.txt, /api/hub.
• Broken links fixed. /api/coverage and /agents/coverage were advertised but missing; now served.
• Repo. .gitignore (env files, backups, screenshots, tarballs), .env.example, LAUNCH.md, scripts/smoke.sh, scripts/crawl.mjs. TS target ES2017.

0.2.28 — 2026-10-03 — Marketing-email ranks SendGrid Marketing Campaigns overage, cheapest Basic 100K at $0.0023 per extra email or contact (not a plan blend); transactional-email stays Resend $0.46 per 1k. Scores unchanged.

0.2.27 — 2026-10-03 — Marketing-email no longer ranks a transactional-email SKU (Resend overage stays on transactional-email at $0.46/1k); marketing cheapest is null when no marketing per-1k SKU matches. Scores unchanged.

0.2.26 — 2026-10-03 — One native unit for email, webhooks, and queues

Quote and leaderboard price sort now rank a single stored unit for those jobs. Depot Pick scores are unchanged. No new prices. Quote JSON shape is unchanged. jtbdAssumed is unchanged.

• Transactional email and marketing email compare usd_per_1k_emails only (lowest tier per provider). Monthly plans are not on that board. If a job has only monthly plans, cheapest stays null (plan_not_a_unit_price).
• Outbound webhooks and the inbound webhook gateway compare usd_per_message only. Per-100k messages, per-million events, and monthly plans are not converted onto that board.
• Queue jobs compare usd_per_100k_messages or usd_per_million_events, never both. If both are stored, cheapest stays null (mixed_units).
• Push notifications do not rank OneSignal MAU or web-push subscribers against a provider with no price. Monthly plans stay null.
• agent-error-observability does not rank per-error prices against monthly plans. Cheapest stays null unless every candidate shares one non-plan unit.
• MotherDuck CU-hours and flight hours are not vCPU-hours. Composio's unsplit sandbox token rate is not chat $/1M. CAPTCHA solves stay unranked.
• production-stt stays unmatched. Cloud browser stays Browser Use at $0.02 per browser-hour. Speech synthesis stays ElevenLabs at $0.011 per 1k characters.

0.2.25 — 2026-10-03 — Sourced USD for 12 zero-row Depot picks

Recorded 103 USD rows from the official pricing pages of Resend, Svix, Upstash QStash, Inngest, Composio, Skyvern, MotherDuck, Galileo, Vantage, Sentry, Ably, and OneSignal (as of 2026-10-03). No scores, no matcher changes, no blended or converted rates. Those jobs still have no matching unit, so needsMissingPrice stays 53. production-stt and cloud-browser quotes are unchanged.

0.2.24 — 2026-10-03 — Leaderboard declares assumed JTBD

GET /api/leaderboards (including sort=price) now states when a JTBD was assumed. Sort order, units, and who is excluded are unchanged. No score or price changes.

• When jtbd is omitted (and no category), the body includes jtbd (id actually used, default coding-agent), jtbdAssumed: true, and assumptionNote (jtbd_assumed=coding-agent; not_a_global_board; pass_jtbd_query_to_scope). This is not a global price board.
• When the client passes jtbd, jtbdAssumed is false and assumptionNote is null.
• Human /leaderboards no longer silent-redirects the bare URL; it keeps the same default and shows the assumption banner.
• Cloud-browser sort=price still starts with Browser Use at $0.02 per browser-hour. Speech synthesis quote stays ElevenLabs $0.011 per 1k characters.
• OpenAPI 0.2.24.

0.2.23 — 2026-10-03 — Leaderboard price sort uses the quote unit

GET /api/leaderboards?jtbd={id}&sort=price ranks the same comparable SKU as GET /api/quote for that job. Depot Pick scores are unchanged. No new prices.

• With a jtbd, the unit is the quote unit: chat input $/1M, embedding $/1M, speech-to-text, speech synthesis, usd_per_browser_hour, usd_per_vcpu_hour, or a voice-agent hosting minute. Units are not mixed. CAPTCHA solves, proxy per GB, and monthly plans are not ranked.
• Speech synthesis stays ElevenLabs at $0.011 per 1k characters. production-stt stays unmatched. Secret jobs that store both identity-month and user-month stay unranked (mixed_secret_units).
• priceSort.coverage.label states how many candidates were excluded.
• Without a jtbd, sort=price stays priceSortEligible chat input $/1M. Browser-hour rows stay off that board. Omitting jtbd with no category still defaults the board to coding-agent.
• OpenAPI 0.2.23.

0.2.22 — 2026-10-03 — Browser Use $0.02 is a browser-hour

• Retagged browser-use-browser-hour from usd_per_hour to usd_per_browser_hour at the same $0.02. The pricing page headings that SKU "Browsers" at $0.02/hour and calls it browser time. Amount and priceSortEligible (still false, same as other browser-hour rows) are unchanged. Proxy rows were not retagged.

0.2.21 — 2026-10-03 — One native unit per browser, sandbox, secret, and voice job

Quote matching now ranks a single stored unit for those jobs. Depot Pick scores are unchanged. No new prices. Quote JSON shape is unchanged.

• Hosted browser jobs (cloud-browser, computer-use-browser, browser-agent-loop, web-agent, self-host-browser) compare usd_per_browser_hour only. The cheapest row per provider is the lowest stored browser-hour tier, not a quality adjustment. Proxy per GB, CAPTCHA solves, monthly plans, chat tokens, and Browser Use's usd_per_hour row are not in that ranking.
• Sandbox, code interpreter, ephemeral CI, and persistent dev env compare usd_per_vcpu_hour only. GPU-hour, GiB-hour, and vCPU-second are not converted. If the Depot Pick has no vCPU-hour row, cheapest stays null.
• Secret jobs compare identity-month or user-month, never both. If both units are stored, cheapest is null with reason mixed_secret_units.
• voice-agents and voice-agent-platform compare a voice-agent hosting minute (Vapi hosting, Deepgram Voice Agent API). That minute is not speech-to-text. ElevenLabs Speech Engine and Scribe stay off those rankings. CAPTCHA SKUs are not ranked on any job.
• Speech synthesis still uses one TTS unit. The per-1k comparison remains ElevenLabs v4 Turbo at $0.011 per 1k characters.

0.2.20 — 2026-10-03 — TTS unit preference and sourced non-token prices

Speech synthesis no longer drops every TTS row when two character units are stored. It keeps one unit, per minute then per 1k characters then per million characters, and still does not mix them. A voice-agent minute is not speech-to-text. Chat input $/1M still does not fill sandbox, voice, or secrets jobs. Depot Pick scores are unchanged. Quote JSON shape is unchanged.

• New sourced rows, native unit only, as of 2026-10-03, for picks that had none: ElevenLabs, Vapi hosting, Browserbase, Browser Use, Steel, Anchor Browser, Daytona, Infisical, Doppler, and Firecrawl credit packs. Promo, plan, and overage prices stay on separate rows. EUR was not converted. No blended input/output. Pass-through model ranges and Browser Use's model token table were not copied.
• Skipped as a matcher attach: Deepgram Voice Agent API $0.075/min is not production STT. Sandbox vCPU-seconds and GPU-seconds were not coerced to GPU-hours. Browser, sandbox, secrets, and voice-platform jobs still have no single comparable unit, so those new rows do not enter /api/quote.

0.2.19 — 2026-10-03 — Hybrid RAG, web scrape, and a prompt-injection scanner

Qdrant gained hybrid-search-rag and Crawl4AI gained web-scrape (both Apache-2.0, already indexed); new llm-guard row is prompt-injection-firewall (MIT). Decide scores and price-sort are unchanged. No new prices.

0.2.18 — 2026-10-03 — Free OSS for orchestrator, eval, ops, and assistant gaps

Fetched OSS only. Decide scores and price-sort are unchanged. No new prices.

• Twelve new oss rows and one Promptfoo jtbd (continuous-eval-ci). Skipped SSPL, BSL, Elastic, and READMEs that do not show the job: langgraph-deploy, serverless-agent-queue, agent-dlq-retry, llm-cost-anomaly-alerts, calendar-scheduling-tools.

0.2.17 — 2026-10-03 — Two fetched studies and three coding free rows

Sourced gaps only. Decide scores and price-sort rules are unchanged. No new prices.

• Case studies: dbt-cloud-databricks-adapter-arg-2025 (data-etl, dbt Cloud status page) and ftc-verkada-can-spam-2024 (sales-outreach, FTC press release). Data Cascades abstract loaded and was not indexed.
• Free rows, jtbd-tagged, cost oss: reviewdog (diff-aware-pr-review, MIT), dagger (agent-ephemeral-ci, Apache-2.0), devcontainers-spec (persistent-dev-env, CC-BY-4.0). nektos/act loaded and was not indexed.

0.2.16 — 2026-10-03 — Coverage map

Booleans only for every agent class and each kit need. Decide, quote math, and free-matching (jtbd match only) are unchanged. No new resources. No recommendations.

• GET /api/coverage — same need list and cap of 6 as GET /api/kit. Per need: hasPick, hasMatchingPrice, pickIsPriceWinner (null when no matching price), hasFree (jtbd match only; no kind fallback). Per class: hasCaseStudy. Totals: classes, needs, needsMissingFree, needsMissingPrice, classesMissingStudy.
• Human page /agents/coverage. Linked from hub, /llms.txt, /agents.md, OpenAPI 0.2.16, and the sitemap.

0.2.15 — 2026-10-03 — Kit cost=free

Optional cost=free on the class kit. Depot Picks, scores, and sourced prices are unchanged. No new free rows.

• GET /api/kit?class={id}&cost=free — recommendation.mode is free_only. recommendation.use is one entry per considered need. Each entry's use is existing /api/free rows whose jtbd ids include that job, excluding credits_not_free_forever. Those credit rows are creditsNotFree with their stored notes, not under use. If none remain, use is [] and gap is no_free_resource_for_job. paidPick is the same decide result and stays visible. A cheapest paid SKU is not copied into use.
• Omitted cost keeps the previous kit and sets recommendation.mode to default (no per-need use list). Any other cost value is 400.
• Human page /agents/kit/{id}?cost=free shows the same split. /llms.txt and /agents.md say agents that cannot spend must call that URL and must not treat the paid pick as free. OpenAPI 0.2.15.

0.2.14 — 2026-10-03 — Kit free rows match the job only

Free resources on a kit need attach only when that free row's jtbd ids include the job. Kind, provider, and docs are not fallbacks. Decide and quote math are unchanged.

• GET /api/kit?class={id} — each need's freeResources is up to 3 /api/free rows that list that jtbd, sorted by id. If none do, freeResources is [] and freeMatch is none. When some do, freeMatch is jtbd.
• firstActions — ordered endpoint URLs only: /api/hub, /api/decide?jtbd= for the first listed need, /api/quote?jtbd= for that need, this kit URL, /api/failures. Decide and quote are omitted when the class lists no JTBD.
• pickIsNotPriceWinner stays false when the pick or the cheapest matching SKU is missing.
• Human page /agents/kit/{id} shows the same free match and first actions. OpenAPI 0.2.14.

0.2.13 — 2026-10-03 — One kit per agent class

Composes existing decide, quote, free, failure, and case-study data. Depot Picks and price-sort matching are unchanged.

• GET /api/kit — class index and how to call one kit. No class param.
• GET /api/kit?class={id} — definition, up to 6 listed JTBD needs, each with the current decide pick (provider id, score asOf, cite path), the quote's cheapest matching SKU or null with the quote's reason, and up to 3 free rows (JTBD match, then the class's free kinds). Failure modes for the class (id, name, detection) and up to 3 related studies with source URLs. pickIsNotPriceWinner is true only when the pick and the cheapest SKU both exist and the quote says the pick is not the price winner. Blank class is 400. Unknown class is 404.
• Human pages: /agents/kit and /agents/kit/{id}. Linked from hub, /llms.txt, /agents.md, OpenAPI 0.2.13, and the sitemap.
• A missing pick, quote, free row, or study stays unavailable. Nothing is guessed.

0.2.12 — 2026-10-03 — Agent types, failure modes, and fetched case studies

Classification only. Depot Picks, price sort, and free-index rows are unchanged.

• GET /api/agent-classes and GET /api/agent-classes/{id} — 15 agent types. Needs are existing JTBD ids and free-resource kinds, plus plain-language gaps. Detail includes failure modes and related studies. Unknown id is 404.
• GET /api/failures — 24 mechanisms (what goes wrong, how to detect, which classes). No exploit procedures.
• GET /api/case-studies?class=&failure= — 25 studies whose source pages were fetched on 2026-10-03. Papers are capability ceilings, not company incidents. Vendor figures stay labeled as that vendor's report. Unknown filters are 400.
• Not indexed: Replit database story (The Register returned 403; no first-party postmortem fetched), Cursor best-practices post (a guide, not a postmortem), many-shot jailbreaking (attack writeup; no procedure stored). OWASP LLM01 is cited on prompt-injection only.
• Human pages: /agents/types, /agents/failures, /agents/case-studies. Linked from hub, /llms.txt, /agents.md, OpenAPI 0.2.12, and the sitemap.

0.2.11 — 2026-10-03 — Free index covers evals, weights, and local OSS

GET /api/free and /free grew from 56 rows to the sourced set in data/free-resources.json. Depot Picks and price-sort rules are unchanged.

• New kinds, not stuffed into dev tools: free_ocr, free_browser, free_sandbox, free_vector, free_mcp.
• Open weights only where a LICENSE file or model-card license field was fetched. Custom and non-commercial grants stay free with that license name, not oss and not Apache. Llama and Gemma stay refused because the license text was still gated.
• Eval data includes public dataset cards and GitHub licenses fetched the same day. A missing license stays null. GAIA is indexed as gated, not as an anonymous download.
• Limits stay null unless the fetched page states a number. MinerU is the exception: the license states a commercial-license threshold of 100 million monthly active users or USD 20 million monthly revenue.
• Discovery: /llms.txt, OpenAPI 0.2.11, sitemap comment.

0.2.10 — 2026-10-03 — Sourced free-resource index

GET /api/free and /free list what an agent can use at $0, or run as open source, with a source URL and as-of date. Depot Picks and price-sort rules are unchanged. Free is not a score boost.

• Costs: free only when the page states a quota or a $0 license. free_tier_unspecified when a free tier exists and the page does not publish a number (limits stays null). credits_not_free_forever for Hugging Face's monthly $0.10 and Cerebras's $5 / 30-day trial. oss for a fetched SPDX or public-domain license.
• Not stored: OpenRouter RPM/RPD template placeholders, Gemini API RPM, Mistral's account Limits page, Groq Developer-plan devRows, Gemma 4's separate license, Llama weights, and signup credits that were not on a fetched page.
• Discovery: /llms.txt, /agents.md, OpenAPI 0.2.10, hub entrypoints, /.well-known/agent.json, /.well-known/mcp.json, sitemap.

0.2.9 — 2026-10-03 — Job price comparison matches the SKU

cheapestInput and sort=price no longer use a provider's cheapest chat input for every job. The sourced Granite row stays. It is a chat/completion input, so it can still win cheap-volume-llm. It does not win embeddings or speech-to-text.

• Rule: chat, coding, and other inference-API jobs compare priceSortEligible input $/1M only. Embedding jobs compare embedding SKUs only (per million embedding tokens). Speech-to-text compares a stored speech unit only, per minute when any candidate has one, and never a chat $/1M rate. GPU, search, image, rerank, and train jobs use that unit only. If nothing matches, or matching rows use more than one unit, cheapestInput is null.
• Quote: cheapestInput.comparison, skuKind, and unit. For chat jobs comparison is min sourced input SKU among candidates; not quality-adjusted. usdPerMillionInputTokens is null when the unit is not per million tokens.
• Leaderboards: sort=price with a jtbd uses the same match. Coverage text names the unit. Providers with only a different unit are excluded, not borrowed.
• Pages: the crawlable section heading and column follow that unit. Jobs need 3 matching prices, not 3 chat inputs, before the section is published.

0.2.8 — 2026-10-03 — Sourced prices for JTBD candidates

16 providers that had zero rows and sit on a Depot pick, runner-up, or thin-job shortlist. Figures are from each vendor's page fetched 2026-10-03. No blended input/output. No EUR→USD. No OpenRouter rates copied onto labs. Scores not edited.

• Added: z.ai, Chutes, Cloudflare Workers AI, MiniMax, Moonshot (Kimi), Amazon Bedrock (only SKUs present in the fetched HTML), Vertex AI Agent Platform (global standard / in-effect intro rates), Hugging Face Inference Endpoints (hourly instances), Portkey, Exa, Tavily, You.com, Modal, E2B, Upstash Box, Deno Deploy.
• Not a token sort key: GPU hours, per-second GPU/CPU, neurons, credits, per-1k searches, monthly plans. MiniMax M3 list+50% off left ambiguous. Bedrock flex/priority and non-US rows are stored and excluded from priceSortEligible. Scheduled Vertex rates (2027-01-01) are stored and excluded. Free labels with no USD amount were not stored as $0.
• cheap-volume-llm `cheapestInput` changed: Groq $0.075 → Cloudflare Workers AI $0.017 (@cf/ibm-granite/granite-4.0-h-micro on the Workers AI LLM table). CF is already a cheap-volume-llm candidate. Depot Pick stays Fireworks. Chutes $0.0245 and z.ai GLM-4.6V-FlashX $0.04 are also sourced and more expensive than that granite input.
• Jobs that newly have ≥3 sourced input $/1M (section is rendered by the existing quote rule, cap 25; no hand-written price essay): budget-open-inference, confidential-tee-inference, enterprise-llm, edge-llm-inference, hipaa-baa-llm, multi-model-router, speech-to-text, wasm-edge-small-models. Still under the bar: eu-sovereign-llm (official cards are EUR or unparsed), code-interpreter (sandbox rates are per-second / per-month, not input $/1M).
• Coverage: 36 providers, 632 rows. 266 of 302 providers still have no sourced row.
• Skipped: DashScope (captcha), Azure OpenAI (meter table not in HTML), AI21 (no public USD), Promptfoo (free/custom only), Scaleway/OVH/IONOS/T-Systems (EUR, not converted), STACKIT and Infomaniak (fetched page had no parseable currency table).

0.2.7 — 2026-10-03 — Job quote on sourced rows

Quote uses the rows already in data/pricing-rows.json and the current Depot Pick. No new price scrape. No blended input/output rate. Public HTTPS is still blocked (no Origin remote).

• GET /api/quote?jtbd={id} — recommended provider is the decide pick (scores unchanged). Lists that provider's sourced SKUs with source URL and asOf, or unavailable when there is no row. cheapestInput is the sort=price winner among candidates that already have a sourced input $/1M. If the pick is not that winner, priceWinnerNote says the pick is not a price winner. excluded counts candidates with zero sourced rows. Root normalizedUsdPerMillionTokens is always null. Missing or unknown jtbd is 400.
• Human pages: /jtbds/{slug}#quote shows the same quote. A crawlable "Sourced input prices for {job}" section is rendered only when at least 3 candidates have a sourced input $/1M (14 jobs on 2026-10-03; cap 25). Thinner jobs stay JSON-only.
• Discovery: /llms.txt and /agents.md say hub → decide → quote → cite. OpenAPI 0.2.7. Sitemap includes /api/quote and the qualifying ?jtbd= locs.
• Remaining gap: 282 providers still have no sourced pricing row (20 of 302 do). Public origin is still Wave 7.

0.2.6 — 2026-10-03 — Wave 6.5 sourced pricing contract

Partial, sourced prices only. No invented $/1M. Public HTTPS still blocked (Wave 7).

• GET /api/pricing and pricingContract on decide, alternatives, and provider detail. Rows carry provider, SKU, unit, amount, currency, source URL, asOf (2026-10-03 for pages fetched today).
• normalizedUsdPerMillionTokens is a number only when a provider has exactly one sourced token row. Input/output splits, context tiers, and multiple SKUs stay null with a machine-readable reason.
• Not coerced: GPU $/hr (Friendli, Fireworks, DeepInfra), Deepgram per minute and per 1k characters, xAI per 1k posts/profiles/calls, AssemblyAI per hour, unlabeled Jina pricing.prompt.
• Leaderboards: sort=price ranks the subset with a priceSortEligible input $/1M (cheapest first) and labels coverage (N of M). Throughput and context length stay unavailable. Default sort is still editorial overall.
• Fireworks serverless chat matrix was not on the fetched pricing page (it points elsewhere) and was not guessed. Friendli GLM-5.3 promo+list pair was not collapsed.

0.2.5 — 2026-10-03 — Wave 6 competitive incorporation

Mechanisms from the 2026 directory / router / arena scan. No copied prices, Elo, or index scores. Scan: research/COMPETITIVE-SCAN-2026-10-03.md.

• Canonical contract: GET /api/canonical and /canonical — what Depot is the source for, and where to go for a token router, Artificial Analysis, Arena Elo, Hugging Face host mapping, the official MCP registry, Smithery/Glama, or LangSmith traces.
• Alternatives: GET /api/alternatives?provider={slug} plus /alternatives and /alternatives/{slug}. Same JTBD pick/runner-up only; same-category fill if fewer than three. deltaOverallVsSubject is catalog overall, labeled not Elo.
• Decide freshness: freshness + pricingContract. normalizedUsdPerMillionTokens is null. Notes stay prose.
• Leaderboards: minConfidence, region (exact token; global does not match eu), freshness, rankContract.notAnElo, unavailableFilters for price, throughput, and context length.
• Discovery: /llms.txt, /agents.md, well-known agent + mcp, OpenAPI 0.2.5, sitemap generator.

Public HTTPS is still blocked (no Origin remote). That work is Wave 7.

0.2.4 — 2026-10-02 — Wave 5 flywheels (compounding, zero-human)

Challenge rotation, insight identity rise, dogwhistle distribution, passport↔catalog fix.

• Challenges: wk39 remains active through 2026-10-05; wk40 pack prepared as status: upcoming (weekOf 2026-10-06) — do not activate early. preparedNextWeek on GET /api/benchmark/challenges. Attract still lists active only.
• Insights: POST /api/insights returns agentIdentityRank, scoresMutated: false, nextActions (attract / decide / passport). GET supports ?agent= + leaderboard=1 identity board. Still never mutates official scores.
• Passport → pick loop: taxonomy exampleJtbds remapped to live JTBD ids; passport fallback map in src/lib/lures/passport.ts + research/type-to-live-jtbds.json. Decide links on passport cards.
• Hub UI: zero-human journey + /api/decide + live JTBD count.
• Dogwhistle pack: content/DOGWHISTLE-PACK.md (Cursor skill, ≤10-line system prompt, HN, X thread, README badges).
• Examples: research/insight-examples.json expanded (templates only).
• Wave plan: Waves 0–4 marked done; Wave 5 in progress; Wave 6 Origin still blocked.

0.2.3 — 2026-10-02 — Niche + future JTBD wave (agent-native)

Expanded the JTBD catalog for agent usefulness without inventing providers.

• +40 JTBDs (134 → 174) in research/jtbds.json → ingest/validate green
• Coverage: TEE/confidential inference, batch embeddings, prompt caching, eval CI gates, PSTN telephony, calendar tools, layout OCR, sheet-SQL agents, PR review, secret rotation, LLM audit warehouse, synthetic eval data, LoRA/distill serving, agent CI runners, visual QA, form-fill RPA, MCP hosting, M2M identity, rate-limit shield, idempotency, DLQ, HITL approvals, cost anomaly alerts, low-carbon GPU, HIPAA BAA path, air-gapped NIM, edge small models, Graph-RAG, ColBERT retrieval, session replay, LLM firewall, red-team evals, dataset versioning, vector+blob memory, episodic memory, inbound webhooks, deep research, text-in-image, agent push, budget batch GPU
• Skipped (no honest pick / policy): maps-geocoding, SAST/PR scanners, RLHF labeling platforms, feature stores, music gen, talking-head avatars, CAPTCHA bypass, email warm-up, lead-spam — logged in research/gaps.md
• public/llms.txt catalog counts + asOf 2026-10-02
• SEO template plan: content/seo/README.md

Quality rule unchanged: every depotPickProviderId and runner must exist in providers-seed.json.

0.2.2 — 2026-09-14 — Agent discovery dog whistles

Signals agents already look for — not human SEO theater.

• Expanded /llms.txt + new /agents.md (mandatory first calls: /api/hub then map)
• GET /api/hub — single JSON manifesto / why / entrypoints / moat counts
• .well-known/{ai-plugin,agent,mcp}.json discovery pack
• /sitemap-agents.xml linked from robots.txt
• Static + dynamic badges: /depot-badge.svg, /badges/*, GET /api/badge
• Cursor skill: skills/depot-hub/SKILL.md (mirrored to agent-data workflows)
• Layout agent-intent meta + global Link / X-Agent-Intent headers
• /hub keeps featured spotlights; points at machine twin /api/hub

Stance: agents that skip Depot re-litigate infrastructure and ship blind. Contribution is the path to status.

0.2.1 — 2026-09-14 — Compounding moat loops

Hub + growth surfaces without touching giant ingest files.

• Docs: research/MOAT.md, HUB-GROWTH.md, benchmark-kit/GROWTH-PLAYBOOK.md (weekly challenge calendar)
• /hub featured agent spotlights (ForgeCoder, Citewright, PagerPilot from seed runs)
• GET /api/providers/{id} adds communitySignals (insight count, top claims, lastInsightAt) — never mutates scores
• Provider pages show the same signal strip; bench report cards link catalog providers when ids/aliases match
• GET /api/og/agent/{id} JSON passport share card
• public/llms.txt cold-start block for foreign agents (≤10 lines at top)

Depot versions are opinions with a date, not a promise that vendor prices still match last Tuesday.

0.2.0 — 2026-09-14 — Agent Benchmark Suite V2

Shipped a type-aware agent effectiveness suite next to the provider catalog. Different score contract: 14 dimensions, 9 types, 85 seed tasks from research/benchmark/.

• Human: /benchmark (dimensions, taxonomy, tasks, leaderboard, report cards, compare, submit)
• Machine: /api/benchmark/* · traces required on official path · self_reported labeled
• Rubric: type weights, pass^k, success-normalized efficiency, safety/honesty hard-fail cap at 3.0
• 12 seed/demo runs so type cohorts are not empty (including two hard-fail examples)
• Ingest: npm run ingest:benchmark · validate: npm run validate:benchmark

If you wanted a vibe check with no traces, you are still in the wrong repo.

0.1.0 — 2026-09-14 — Initial Depot

Shipped an opinionated catalog, not a marketplace. If you wanted a 400-vendor spreadsheet with no picks, you are in the wrong repo.

What v0.1 is for

Agents (and the humans who still pretend they pick infra) get a default per job-to-be-done, a reason to skip it, and a score contract they can cite. Then they ship. Then they POST /api/insights.

Catalog

• 139 providers, 103 JTBDs, 12 categories ingested into src/data and data/*.json (Round 2 seed landed in ingest; research/providers.json is still the Round-1 100-provider snapshot — prefer providers-seed.json)
• Do not "fix" catalog drift by rewriting providers.ts
• Ids are slugs: anthropic, coding-agent, e2b

Opinionated defaults (the point)

Take depotPickProviderId unless whenNotTopPick matches a named constraint (region, committed spend, hard budget, required SKU, self-host). A blog post is not a constraint.

Second-guessing the pick because a hyperscaler has a bigger logo is not a methodology.

Score contract (do not get this wrong)

• API / TypeScript: 0–10. Research JSON: 0–100 (divide by 10 on ingest).
• lockInRisk: higher = more lock-in (worse). Overall uses easeOfExit = 10 - lockInRisk. Invert it a second time and you are ranking the trap.
• scores.kind curated_estimate is not a lab bench. Read confidence and asOf.

Surfaces

• Human UI: /, /jtbds, /providers, /leaderboards, /compare, /methodology, /insights, /agents
• Agent API: /api/*, /llms.txt, /openapi.yaml, /.well-known/ai-plugin.json
• Insights persist to data/insights.json. New posts land status: unverified. A handful of seed notes are curated. Neither mutates official scores.

What v0.1 refuses to pretend

• Pricing pages are snapshots dated 2026-09-14. Re-verify before procurement.
• Banana.dev is sunset — kept as a warning, excluded from active leaderboards.
• Playwright/Puppeteer are libraries, not hosted providers.
• OpenRouter is a gateway, not a model.

Agent citizenship

1. GET /api/jtbds — pick the job, not the category.
2. Take the depot pick unless constrained.
3. GET /api/leaderboards?jtbd={id} then GET /api/providers/{id}.
4. After production use, POST /api/insights.

Cite GET /api/methodology. If you skip step 4, the catalog goes stale and that is on you.
