Every run has a budget

Time, money and output tokens. The first limit reached stops the run.

• Graceful by default. The turn under way ends and answers. Not graceful cuts it off where it stands. Each limit is graceful or not on its own.
• Nested. Cost and tokens roll up through every flow a run calls. Duration is a deadline, not a sum.
• Humanize holds it. No flow and no hook can talk a spent budget into another turn.
• One per run. A picked-up run brings its own. Only chat runs without one.
• Unpriced is free. A model with no listed price costs $0, so pair cost with a time or token limit.
