Agent cost bugs are debugging bugs

A coding agent does not need to bankrupt you to create a cost bug. It just needs to make the run impossible to explain. You see the number on the invoice. You see the "done" in chat. You cannot connect them. Cost is not only billing When developers talk about agent costs, the conversation usually drifts toward dashboards and rate limits - invoice-shaped problems with invoice-shaped fixes. That framing hides the actual pain.
