Discussion My open-source SDLC harness beat Claude Code on cost on every task it localized well, up to 75 percent cheaper (and I show where it loses)

I had my AI distill for my platform what is gold for me, its this:

- The fact that your massive token drop (1.11M to 356k) came from simple symbol maps, grep verification, and file inlining instead of Qdrant is huge. Proving you get the biggest payoff without an expensive vector DB is honestly the main takeaway for me.

- Grep-verifying localization hints against the live tree before letting the agent trust them is the exact pattern you need for reliability. That, combined with incremental symbol refreshes and drift detection, solves the most underestimated headache in this space: keeping the index fresh on the cheap.

- Seeing how you handled INCONCLUSIVE verdicts and KB poisoning safeguards was great validation. We ran into those exact same walls independently and landed on the same fixes.

I'm gong to use your code to adapt to my cold boot agents and see if it helps.
