+# openai/gpt-5.6-sol-pro — alternate port via retrieval, not context
+
+Generated 37/37 effects (11086 lines, 51.4% of the reference port's surface),
+every kept effect gated on **compiles AND emits ANSI-styled animation** — not just
+`cargo build`. **$30.2842 all-in vs $43** DHH paid for the same model (beats by 29.6%). Corpus (plan.md + 144 Python files, 396,489 tokens) was
+retrieved per-ask via leCore BM25 instead of carried in every prompt; measured
+saving vs carrying it: 8.6x.
+
+Parity, measured on this repo's own pinned platform (Linux/glibc 2.35), against
+this repo's own fixtures: **13/13 implemented easing functions, 13,013/13,013
+samples, 100.00% bit-exact** (one $0.21 follow-up ask aligned the cubics to
+CPython's pow() evaluation order — it's on the ledger). The full 354-case suite
+remains this repository's bar; nothing beyond the measured subset is claimed.
+This is what the same models produce when the reference rides a retrieval layer
+instead of the context window, priced to the cent.
+
+Live run + receipts: https://ttfx.awesomemcp.fun · /mortem for the full
+self-audit · /show/sol to watch these effects animate from this exact binary.
+
+## honesty section (condensed from the run's live during-mortem)
+
+The harness was improved WHILE this ran, and every dollar of that is in the
+numbers above, not edited out: a render gate added mid-run dropped and re-bought
+already-paid effects; three reasoning-budget truncation bugs bought ~$7 of
+unusable responses before diagnosis; early asks shipped 3x-fat retrieval chunks;
+restarts re-bought cores. Projections use the blended all-waste rate (marginal
+rates run ~5x lower). The "without retrieval" comparison is MEASURED, not
+modeled — real cold+warm full-corpus sends at provider-billed prices, which
+found NO default cache discount for Anthropic or DeepSeek-via-OpenRouter. DHH's
+side counts only his published successes; ours counts every failure. The
+finished Rust port in this repo was quarantined from the models throughout —
+they saw only plan.md and the Python source. Full ledger of every ask attached
+(LEDGER.jsonl: tokens, provider-billed USD, timestamps).
