A real installed Braid /ask on 2026-09-24 requested pi/tangle-router/gpt-5-mini. All six Pi message_end receipts reported served model gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07 and stopReason=stop.
Across those six calls: 64,596 input tokens and 18,038 output tokens. Braid/agent-eval reported estimatedCostUsd=$0.261125; the retained Pi usage.cost.total values sum to $0.052225. The estimates differ by exactly 5×. The billed amount has not been verified, so neither estimate should be presented as a charge.
src/metrics.ts has no exact gpt-5-mini row. Its /gpt-5|gpt-4\.1|o[134]\b/ family fallback prices this route at $1.25/M input and $10/M output. Pi's receipt implies $0.25/M input and $2/M output. Braid's src/adapters/analysis/runtime-model-owner.ts uses resolveModelPricing for the analyst and prefers the catalog estimate over the runner estimate.
Please verify the current Tangle Router billed rate for this exact served model, then update the owning price source or receipt precedence so the analyst cost display and budget ledger agree with an authoritative rate. Keep the billed amount unknown until checked. This is separate from Braid's fixed 0.3.0 release gate.
